Do you work?

[dirtydog]

Yes you do

test yourself mate-see if you can go a week without having a drink(but i'd say you do drink too much)

[dizzyblonde]

Yep....rather slightly a lot

I work fulltime tuesday till saturday, i'm 18 ...

Monday Pool night: 5-6 pints
Tuesday it'd be rude not too: 5-6 pints
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.

Yes, I'd say so.

I was worried that I drink too much because I drink every day (3 bottled beers this evening), but when I actually counted it up, most weeks I'm about dead on the recommended limit.

A bottle of red is about 10 units, so you're up to the weekly guideline on the wine alone, all the beer could be considered excess, so I think, ermm, yep.

Good tip there about giving up for a week...............

(plus in your avatar you look far too young..... )

Jans1971 and Manxmatt, you both drink too much IMO by the sounds of it.

Official guidance is 14 units a week for females and 21 for males I think. A bottle of wine is about 10 units and a pint is 2-3, roughly.

I saw on tv a while ago that the equivalent of a bottle of wine a night will do serious damage to your liver in less than 5 years.

So, if all that is to be believed, yes you do! But then so do many of us. It's better to spread it out throughout the week than binge (again, so they say, I'm no expert!).
