I've just had a look at what the acceptable drinking units for men is and tbh i find it stupid, it's 4 units, what a joke, thats 2 bottles of stella, and if you constantly drink more than 4 units a day then your at risk of health problems. Whats the drink driving limit ?

Im more at risk of health problems from being taxed to death..as father jack would say DRINK,GIRLS,**** OFFFFFFFF.

If you drink to a point where the alcohol is affecting you (i.e the point of drinking generally) then you are drinking too much in the eyes of the govt.

I probably drink on average 3/4 of a bottle of wine a day but thats spread through out the day and is a part of my job. I get sent lots of different wines to try and its only once in a while that a session really gets started usually when a wine maker comes to visit for lunch and brings cases of his finest to try and sell me.

How many did you have when watching the Match ?

I have been drinking quite a bit recently, by my standards so going to lay off for a bit, well until the weekend, ok alcohol isnt the be all and end all but it does take the edge off being taxed to death.

j4ckos mate

vindaloo

Too much.

Or should that be...

Too much.

I drink about 10-20 units a week, mainly red wine and I think that's excessive. It makes me fat (well gives me a belly), from the alcohol itself and the knock on effect for craving carbs the next day.

I regulary drink nothing mon to thurs. And regularly drink nothing for a month. Always feel a lot better/lighter in that month. I also find drinking makes me feel depressed, so I drink more and know that's not the thing todo.

When I was trainign for duathlong up until end of last year, even 2 glasses of red the night before would reduce my ability to run/cycle at high intensity seriously.

Government guidelines on drinking are ridiculously low IMO. I think you can add 75% to them per week and still be "healthy".

A writer for the Sunday Times said he averaged 45 units per week for 15 years. He had tests done and nothing was there to worry about. He stopped for a while and within 5 weeks all his stats were perfectly normal.

Shall we start a "Who is going to die of Chronic liver failure" thread now?

I went through a phase when I was about 22 where I was drinking a fair amount over the course of a week, and had the odd morning where there was no way I could drive to work so got a lift in and battled through some morning drunkness/hangover.

Now, 28, I rarely drink that much at all, perhaps a couple of glasses of wine with dinner on a Sunday and a few drinks during the week. But really I could probably go without touching the stuff again if I had to.

It all fine until your liver jacks it in. It wont seem worth it then!

Buckie!

Wreck the hoose juice. Tastes like crap as well.

I drink far too much - wine, vodka, rum, whisky. Must cut down

But as a colleague at work once said "I can't become an alcoholic. I like drink too much and would hate to have to give it up".

Anyway, Sir Alan is on soon. Must charge the glasses
