Reply to: Decisions, decisions

It's no more or less dangerous than it was yesterday and recommendations vary from nation to nation.

The limit has been chosen as the point at which you statistically have a 1% chance of dying from alcohol-related causes. Even if that's reliable, it seems a bit risk-averse.

My Mum died last year at only 67 from one of those random bad luck things. It does make you think that worrying about living another 50 years or working like a dog now now so you can have a nice pension is all a bit ridiculous.

Sorry for your loss, however, making decisions based on the outcome of one person's life is a logical fallacy. Take 500k people who drink heavily and 500k who drink within the limits or not at all and compare their standard of living , health and mortality.

Just your thing. It plays to the humourless controlling killjoy public sector agenda. Anything that doesn't conform is labelled as bad for you, racist or unfair.

Just waiting for the Cocteau Plan to come into full swing.

sorted!



Yes, dear: I think your peppermints are working. I haven't even thought of a drink for two day.'

If you can't enjoy life without alcohol then you need to take a hard look at yourself.

Whenever I take a hard look at myself I see double. Hic.

I've got to admit a lot of the time I drink out of boredem. Which can't be good. I should really make an effort to find something better things to do.

I agree with the new limits. OK you might still live to 70 overindulging in booze, but most of your life will be spent hungover or operating at < 70% and when your drunk making bad decisions.

To be quite frank, operating < 70% has worked out very nicely for me.

It also been a feck of a lot of fun

If you have to, you should only go over the limit on special occasions i.e. wedding, stag do etc, a few times a year.

What you mean when he has had too much, then reintroduces that nights kebab to the back of the taxi drivers head?

FTFY

[MrMarkyMark]

Nope as it depends on your genes and their interaction with the environment.

What you mean when he has had too much, then reintroduces that nights kebab to the pavement?

What about 8 hours in front of a computer?

How come they've reduced the limit for men but not for women? Does this mean the average woman now weighs the same as the average man? Or are women just better at handling their alcohol.

no its just that their imaginary science free limits weren't irritating enough so they lowered them.

This faux science comes from the same bunch that thinks you really do have fire in your belly!

Having spent a few years visiting my mum in a care home before she passed away, and seeing what it's like to be old, I'd rather have lots of fun and sign out early.

Hit 75, bag of coke, two hookers, good night and God bless.
