Even if you weren't assuming you are early 20's and into going out all the time then that is fair enough thing to say but once you start getting a bit more health conscious then its a good idea to get some sort of scale into how much you are consuming and how it may be damaging you. I would consider my usual drinking session in the house to be a half bottle of wine and 4 tins/bottles of beer to be quite excessive as it goes far past your maximum daily amount recommended by health professionals, if someone was doing that every day then that would be something that should be cut back on a bit, perhaps half the quantity or only do it 4 nights a week or something. I consider it as too much good living, and while i get fat i don't particularly worry about liver disease or alcohol controlling/ruining my life. 20 cans a day, over a fortnight however is way off the scales as to what i would ever imagine being able to consume so i wanted to find out what was driving him to drink that much and what the come down was like off it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Have you started calling trainers 'runners' yet @Dee Man? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I only drink on a Saturday. 8-10 pints @throbber Occasionally a can of lager during the week if watching/ listening to the football. Used to go for three pints on a Sunday but the EPL games have been pretty beige this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'runners' is a common parlance for 'trainers' in Australia. Or at least it was when I was there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it must be different in Thailand then as in all the shops in Scotland it's 5%. And whilst you can get the bigger bottles of it, he never specified what size of bottles he was drinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Not had a drink for about a month and it's making such a difference to life in general. Not a grouchy b*****d all the time, look healthy, don't get blinded by my own boozy sweat when I exercise, meals out are a fraction of the cost. Couldn't do it with willpower but used some mind bending technique and it has done the trick. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I have folk staying with us this week but after that I just want to cut it out for a month. Feeling quite anxious just now and have been for a few days which is 90% certainly down to drinking, couldn't get my pills for it as the surgery is shut today so going to have to drink to ease the nerves a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got you. The weirdos rarely wear anything on their feet so footwear rarely pops into conversation. Why the f**k anyone would want to walk about barefoot in a petrol station forecourt in the pissing rain is beyond me. They are a strange breed these Western Australians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't do it with willpower but used some mind bending technique and it has done the trick. I haven't drunk since the day of the League Cup game against Dundee United (31st July). Not had as much as a single milliliter of alcohol. I've had beers in my fridge since that game that have remained utterly untouched. I haven't drank during midweek for a few years now, and only really ever drink if I'm at the football or going out. That game was the last one I attended and I rarely go out as I've no one to go out with at the moment and have been skint anyway. I used to drink every single Saturday, which usually involved me sitting at home by myself getting drunk. In fact I spent New Year's Eve doing just this (a distinct lack of offers saw me with nothing to do/nowhere to go). Hit that on the head a while ago now. It's not even been a challenge. And I haven't even done it as a challenge or for a health kick or whatever. The next game I go to I'll have some beers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Maybe Chang is only 5% here, Singha and a couple other ones from East Asia that I get out of Asda are definitely stronger, nice beers though and don't get you too gassy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good few years back during the Christmas fortnight that I rattled through all that drink. Didn't really have much of a come down off it either. I limit myself to Friday and Saturday only now and i never ever touch a drop if i am working the following day. Just an age thing now, have done it all and I just cant be bothered anymore. On holidays now for a couple of weeks so my intake might rise a little bit just like most folk on holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The last two times I've drank I've stuck to low carb beer or low carb cider. The next day I woke up without even a hint of a hangover. Don't know if it's because it was low carb or just coincidence but that's what I'll be buying in future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
