How much booze do you consume?

[hackbike 666]

I've been waiting for a thread like this for ages

I haven't drunk booze since I got back from Thailand on 26 March 2010 and don't plan to drink till my holiday in Nov 2010.

I was using a met-a-phor. At least I think that's what it's called. In which case I was the wasp?

....hmmmmm....good point, but you don't one doesn't have to swat them, does one?

Edited for clarity

sweapea99 ye spot on the guidelines are a load of b---oc-s ive seen people drink bottle scotch a day work all there life be a good husband father etc and contibute to society and on the other hand ive seen people loose home marriage job etc and their conssuming bottle wine daily. so were all different and the powers that be have to be lookin as there doing something i suppose. and riverman ye right too my work experience tells me alcohol is probably more damaging and a greater cost and it is a drug like the rest. any way on a lighter note i go out and get pissed about once every 4-6 wks and thoroughly enjoy it

hope me boss aint reading this!!!

It's funny how this topic comes up every now and again and there's a rush to claim some sort of moral high ground (not allways stated, but implied) from the non or very light drinkers. Many people would consider I drink far too much, hey ho each to his or her own, I probably wouldn't agree with some of the teetotallers other life choices but it's really none of my business. As for being a waste of money, I enjoy a decent bottle of wine or good quality beer and am lucky enough to be able to afford it. Some people spend loads of money on electronic gadgets (i phones, garmins etc.) which I have no interest in at all, whether something is a 'waste' of money is very much down to the individuals priorities and interests imo.

Keep ya hair on blud,I had to tone it down as it was affecting my health.

Yes, maybe, but you can't have a picnic without wasps...

You can if you have your picnic in the middle of December...

Well yeah, but you are from Essex....

2 units per day.

Also lots of chocolate, cakes and pies.

Am 5 kilos lighter this year.

The joys of doing intensively physical work.

 

[Brahan]

25-30 'units'

Not too proud of that really. If I'm having an all nighter then woooosh, the score goes right up. After a wedding last week, a mate and I did 8 beers and 4 bottles of wine. We got to bed at 4am.

Certainly not proud of that but I do get a bit carried away...

I do not drink, smoke, take drugs or eat crappy food. My body is a temple.

given today's headache I'd say a glass or two of wine too much!

About 8 or 9 pints over the weekend (Fri/Sat). Don't drink during the week. I could pretend it's because I'm concientious - but in reality it affects my sleep and thus makes riding to/from work the next day a real effort as I'm bushed!!
