Re: How much do you drink (alcohol)?

I drink. A lot. I brew my own beer and enjoy craft beer. I typically have 2-4 glasses a night from the kegerator. Every now and then I will have more, sometimes less though not often.

Have been on a rampage lately drinking the equivalent of a 6-pack a night. Figured I needed some time away from alcohol. I've never had a problem realizing I am hitting it too hard and need to step back a bit. Hopefully, this doesn't change. When I'm not drinking, like right now, I can still brew and talk about it and not crave it so I am comfortable with it.

    Re: How much do you drink (alcohol)?

    Monday - Don't drink. Hurt too much
    Tuesday - Like 7 or after dinner
    Wednesday - Got to the bar. Don;t know how many, 50$ worth
    Thurday - Bar. Out all night.
    Friday - Day drink until 2. Take nap. Start again at 4. Stay til close.
    Saturday - See friday.
    Sunday - 8am beers til 9pm beers.

    Absolutley drink to get drunk, it's the same reason people smoke weed. To be stoned. I function perfectly and could quit if I wanted to, but don't because I like the feeling.

    This doesn't sound sketchy at all.

    Based on his consumption, his tolerance level is probably quite high. He probably gets a good buzz from a 12 pack, but far from blacking out.

    I use to do this often...I don't drink like this anymore. I attributed it to that fact that I never puke while I'm drinking...I can seriously drink a lot for my size. Worst feeling ever when you can't remember wtf you did the night before (well besides a crying baby )

    This was my thought, but you never know. If 12 is an average, he could easily go quite a bit over w/out too much trouble.

    It probably is, but it's better than remembering how dumb I am.

    Oh also, I am not a college student. So maybe i should reconsider my drinking.

    Alcohol does not cause liver cancer. Liver disease/cirrhosis...yes. Alcohol may increase the risk of liver cancer.

    Ask your GP to run liver enzymes when you go for annual bloodwork - annual bloodwork is a great way to spot things are starting to fuck up and you may be able to get a head start on beating any degenerative disease that is related to your liver constantly being over-worked.

    I used to go through an 8-ball charlie on the week-ends and perhaps 50~70 pints (20oz) weekly. That was 10 years ago. Haven't touched the coke since 2004 and these days I'd say I drink roughly 10 drinks per week. Occasions like DMB @ SPAC, baseball games, F1 races, this number will change but regularly it's around 10 drinks per week.
    this is a great post, Thank You I like the coke every once and a while too, but that is literally maybe once every 3 months, 3 or four times a year; I am not worried about it.

    Avatars looked similar for that guy and the one who said having a beer fridge was a bad idea. I was thinking they were the same person.
