I have the odd week where I drink no alcohol at all and I've found I get mild hangover like symptoms for 2 days after my last drink which I wouldn't get if I'd had a pint or two the night before, after 2 dry days I feel good again.
I think it has something to do with the liver producing enzymes to break down alcohol that's not there.
Not getting 'buckled' tonight... child duties.

Booze however, can sit in my house all year.
I feel so sorry for people who've taken alcohol to it's extreme - it must be very sad not being able to have it anymore. It's meant to be enjoyed.

As far as I am aware, the only study that I have read about was one that says if you drink 50 units per week you have a problem.
5-6 bottles of wine (11%-13%)
19 pints of guiness ~ less than 3 pints a day
1 and 2/3 bottles of whiskey (or other 40% proof) ~3.5 doubles a night.
There are people who drink excessively who do so because the choose to, not because they're addicted. The only way to tell if their alkies, is when they try to stop. Of course, addicted or not, the damage is the same.
I'm puzzled by the idea that people only drink heavily because they have crap lives. I know a few (drinking) alcoholics who have, apart from the addiction, great lives. The reason they drink is because the addiction makes them feel severely anxious if they don't have a drink. They started off as social drinkers, but the problem only became evident in their 30s, when they tried to cut down or stop, and found it incredibly difficult. One of them doesn't usually drink to excess, or every day. He's very careful about when and where he drinks, to prevent having too much. A bottle of whiskey in his house won't last two days.
I find that I start to pee by the fourth pint. After that it's every 1 or 2 pints...
