Wednesday Weekly: 5-6 pints
Thirsty Thursday: 5-6 pints

Friday A.K.A. Saturday warm up: Out till 4.30am, drink as much as i can physically manage from shots, alchopops, more pints. Turn up to work saturday with a can of red bull with just the thought of sitting down and hiding a corner coming into mind.

Saturday Ure' Avin' a Laff': repeat friday but with a day off on sunday from work and drink.

Is that anything to base it off? Baring in mind i weigh 9 stone and can get drunk off 4 cans of larger easily enough.

p.s.s. if i'm sat in because i cba going out i just drink cans at home whilst on the net and watching tv.

p.s.s.s.s on the odd week night i will drink more if in a good jolly mood, same question applies really alot of people i know call me a reet alcy etc... but i don't think i am :S. And i do get wasted on these org. weekends or any event/holiday i can.

Ohh i used to do exactly the same.. when i hit 19-20 i was like, Christ ive spent thousands on beer:(

Re: do i drink to much

You should be careful with alcohol dude, I'ts dangerous. My dad died a few years ago from liver cirrhosis and it got him so quick.

I like to have a drink but you should be aware of what your doing.

Re: do i drink to much

Your livers will be telling you yes when they fail...

Re: do i drink to much

Unit's in a drink is easy to work out.

% strength x volume (litres).

e.g Pint of Tennants Ice Cold. 4.2%(I think) and .568 litres.

So just Around 2-2.5 units in a pint of ice cold.

As for how much I drink, couldn't tell you.

Pub most nights, anywhere from 2-8 pints per night.

Weekends I couldn't even try to estimate, guess between me and my flatmate trying to count, around 30 units per night, maybe more. Yes I drink too much. :)

Re: do i drink to much

Short answer = Yes.

Long answer = Yes, but it's your life and if you want to drink and accept the risks that come with it, and aren't likely to hurt anyone else whilst doing it, fine.

Re: do i drink to much

Sounds like, I don't drink enough... :D

Re: do i drink to much

I actually was shocked at how much you drink - my other half helps people with head and neck cancer which as you'll no doubt guess is 'caused' by smoking and drinking as the major contributing factors. (I used the word 'caused' loosely)

A large number of people she see's have had portions of their throat removed (sometimes replaced with bowel) and now have to be fed through tubes into their bowel/stomach.

Drinking is a major contributor to head and neck cancer patients, some of whom have never smoked so its not just the smokers I'm afraid.

Heavy drinkers are not often aware of this.
