Alcohol Limit

[NotAllThere]

Here's the article about drinking 3 times the recommend levels for a month.

I don't have much option anymore - my body can't take it.

My limit is about 3 maybe 4 if I'm pushing it, but even then only on two maybe three days a week. Anymore than that and I'm feeling very poorly.

Years ago, that level of drinking was lunch and every day. Those days are well and truly gone.

Thanks to a traumatic episode with alcohol poisoning as a young pup - I have never been a drinker at all - nearing 50 now and you dont miss what you dont know.


Abused - it seems a pretty devastating drug.

Let me get this straight, it's 21 units per day for a man - right?

Easy.

You'd better get cracking then

Easily fixed for you: have kids. Drinking loses its appeal when you're woken up at 5 every morning.

Can't drink (in excess) any more - body can't take having 4 hours interrupted sleep every night and beer.

I remember a week when I was doing one of those food / drink diary things (was thinking about losing weight). That week I did 68 units ^H^H

And that's MUCH less than loads of the regulars at my local.

I only managed 16.4 units last night, apparently. Doing 21 would be a challenge.

The Missus just asked me: "When you had dinner last night" (long after she'd gone to bed) "did you use a plate?"

"Of course."

"Where is it?"

I can't find it either.

The Missus just asked me: "When you had dinner last night" (long after she'd gone to bed) "did you use a straw?"

"Of course."

"Where is it?"

I can't find it either.

Fixed that

what a crock of sh!t

21 units per week for men!!

holy carp bavarian beer in 500ml bottles = 3 units per bottle

3 bottles per day or 3 large glasses of wine minimum
4 or 5 if I have a drink after work (say 2 times per week)
= circa 22 bottles equivalent per week = 66units per week

and that's a non-exceptional average week with no partying

hmmm
