Oh **** i'm an alchy!
think i'd have the body of a greek god if i didnt drink, as i aint that bad and drink **** loads!
was drunk 5 nights out of 7 last week, not bad considering i worked 4 of em.
i work in the bar/club environment which doesnt help.
really noticed its starting to take me huge quantities to get drunk now.
for example, Sat night -
had 3 pints,
followed by 7 double Vodka red bulls,
4 'unknown' yet strong cocktails from a barman i know,
4 shots
and capped it off with something called a gas chamber which involved Cheq Absinthe, a wine glass and a straw.
got up at midday and felt fine, which although good, is also a bad sign i'd think...
oh, and i havent had alcohol tonight for the first time in a week and i feel 'weird' and want to go to the fridge to get a Stella..uh oh....

I very rarely drink during the week as I hate getting up and commuting to work feeling a little worse for wear
Mon to Thurs - Nowt
Fri - My night to relax dans le pub so will probably have 5-8 pints and maybe a couple of Brandy and Gingers
Sat - Depends if out or not. If not then maybe a bottle of wine with the missus and if out then see Fri for potential outcome
Sun - Usually nowt but may have the odd can

Apparently binge drinking is where somebody doesn't drink for a few days and then in one evening has a few.
A few being more than say 4, which would make me think that the UK has a lot of binge drinkers
