Alcohol Abuse!
Hey
I'm sure there's many who think this, I was out last night and had around 8 pints - nothing new to me as I am out evey saturday and sunday and have at least 6 each time. I feel a bit messed up the day and I was thinking I must be doing some serious damage. I'm going to put down for dayshifts at work at the weekend to stop me having too much, I reckon I'm going to stick to 4 pints. Anyone think this is still too much for an evenings drinking?
Go on put a scare in me!

Eight pints over how long? How much do you weigh? How well does your body metabolise alcohol normally? etc, etc. Personally I would drink that amount on a long night out but not every weekend.

8 pints on a school night as a regular thing is a problem IMHO. A one off out with mates and got a bit carried away then fine no probs. Only 6 on a weekend? lightweight! 
= professional alchy. At weekends that's perfectly normal for me

The 8 was over about 6 hours, I said at least 6 on a weekend!
I weigh 16 stone - not a complete fatty im 6'4" but I would like to lose half a stone or so, thats part of the cut down theory as well.
I'm not out every night, probably 4 a week.

Lol, you are clinically overweight. Dont kid yourself you're not, your BMI is halfway to clinically obese
to get into the safe zone you need to loose approx 1.5 stone. PS I'm not a doctor...

Doesn't take account of body shape though. I do quite a lot of weight lifting so will have a fair bit of muscle mass - which I believe weighs more than fat. just shows how these guidelines don't always work!
I could lose a stone though and would be more healthy for it.

ok....so there you have the answer. The only thing you can compare it to is water which is what you are made up from.
therefore....as long as your body is 60% booze im sure its fine.

*Thread Hijack*
So is half a bottle of vodka then 2 or 3 pints 3 times a week doing me as much harm as say 8/9 pints 3 times a week?

Apparently, you are 50% more likely to develop mouth disease when drinking alcohol in general.

A few weeks ago I was out on a works "do" and I was the only girl with 20 blokes (I work with a lot of truckers). One of them decided he was on a diet so naturally as the only female I was the one he kept asking about what he should and shouldn't eat in the Indian 
.
I pointed out the good foods and he made a point of ordering a really healthy meal.
The fact that he drank 5 pints of Stella with the meal never crossed his mind as being bad for his diet....

Strange why there is still no health warning for booze. I could walk into any offy and buy a crate of Smirnoff and no one would bat an eye.

Your better drinking beer as oposed to shorts.
When i spoke to a nurse recently and she said drinking six pints on a Saturday is no problem. Just as long its not every night thats what does the damage.
Incidentally i went to the doctors once and he said how many times a week do you drink?
i said "once" he said "oh thats good" i said "yeah i drink monday till saturday and have sunday off"

1 can of Cider, 2 pints of beer tonight, first alcohol this week, cant do it anymore, I have after about 18 years of drinking gained the ability to stop when I have had enough and very liberating it is to !
65/70 pints in a week, how the f*ck did you afford it !
