Sweet Pete Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 There's around 2.5 units roughly in a can. 15 cans gives you 37.5 units, plus the bottle of wine is 10 units, giving a total for his three days of between 40 and 50 units of alcohol. The recommended weekly allowance for men is 14. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctors recommend at least 80 units per week for those in KA7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recommended weekly allowance for men is 14. Shandon was quoting a post about the two days (even specifically in his post said "over 2 days"). Assuming you're correct with the units per can etc. 9 x 2.5 = 22.5, + half a bottle of red = 5 units, total 27.5 units. Admittedly I didn't realise they'd changed male and female recommended limit to he the same down from men at 21 units, even still it's not even double, never mind 4x. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 He might be a bit of a jakey b*****d, but at least he is less of a jakey b*****d than he used to be. That's at least how I justify my cycle of binging... I had 3 pints and 3 gin and tonics on Saturday and 3 and a half pints on Sunday. The weekend before I had 9 or 10 half litre bottles of beer. Time was that the numbers above would have constituted Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night on an average week. This weekend should be heavier. One of my brothers is over visiting and it's going to be fucking baltic so there won't be a great deal of walking about and showing off the tourist pap. Should be a couple of days of solid drinking and a Sunday of recovering because I have work on Sunday and just can't handle drinking on a school night anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have drank 14 units of alcohol during a football game on a Tuesday/Wednesday night many a time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon was talking about two days - Saturday and Sunday - in which he said he'd drink 9 cans and half a bottle of red. Edited November 29, 2017 by Honest_Man#1 Looking back, he actually said he drinks 3 on the Friday leaving 6 for the Saturday and Sunday which Shandon replies directly to, so it's even less than I'd thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel much better for it. 5 hours ago, throbber said: I usually have only 3 beers on the Friday night so I’m left with 6 beers and a half bottle of red for the Saturday/Sunday so I’m only going over the limit 2 days a week and drinking responsibly on the Friday. Three beers on the Friday. Six on Saturday, six on Sunday. Half a bottle of wine on Saturday and Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 For all I started this thread, I do still have a pint now and then as it goes. I can’t imagine not, but hopefully get to the point where I don’t. One or two don’t bother me but I never usually stop at one or two if it’s a Friday or Saturday. It usually escalates which I’m starting to get fed up of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I've seen the original post it makes sense. I read it as 6 cans and a half bottle of wine for the two days combined, if it's both days then yeah he's coming across as more of a drunken jakey. Apologies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try and stay off for good. Not really missed it this time. That’s good going. The longest I’ve went recently is 3 weeks. No point trying just now as the usual festive period nights out are arranged. 31st Jan will be my last night on the sauce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch road Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Genuinely don' see an issue with 9 cans and a half bottle of wine. I regularly have a bottle of wine and 6-8 cans and function perfectly fine. Cant remember the last time I was properly drunk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I won't take issue with it, nor do I with Throbber's lifestyle, as it's one I can relate to so it'd be hypocritical to critiscise someone for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
