Binge drinking..

So kids, the lesson of the story is: binge drinking in moderation is fine. Don't follow the hype.

i'll watch it as long as my freeview coverage is good enough... I think the cranes in the right position not to screw it too much tonight.

Should be interesting, but I dont know of, or have seen anyone who drinks 11 double vodkas in a night.

Talk about oxymorons...

Alcahol has more efects that that on the body. The main thing I would worry about is its negative impact on hormones.

I tend to drink around 40 units on a night out without having much in the way of a hangover. I've never vomited with alcohol usage.

19 pints? In one night? Mind if I ask what weight you are?

That's mainly wine and whisky. A bit of an exaggeration, it's usually 20-30, but it's not unkown for me to drink 40-50 units on a good night. I'm 5'10, about 13 stone and I'm 17 years old. I'm big built though, broad rugby player build, so I'm not that overweight. I usually go out two nights a week, and I drink about two glasses of wine every night as well as a few whiskies or liqueurs.

Are you sure you're adding them up correctly? Cos I'm a stone less than you, I'm irish and I do drink a lot. As do all my friends. We're all in our early 20's of varying size. Even the heaviest of us (18 stone) would rarely if ever have more than 15pints over a 6 hour period (that's how long our nights outs usually last for). I wouldn't have more than 10 in that period. If I was drinking for 12 hours then yeah I could do more.. 15 pints max.

...its not a competition ya know....

It's much easier with whisky, I can glug the sh*t down like water if I wish to.

Drink problems run in my family. My father went through a stage of playing golf all day then drinking twenty pints every night. My mum's sister is an alcoholic, and two of my uncle's (one mum's side, the other dad's) have died of alcoholism. It's worrying, really.

Oh, and I'm Scottish.
