booze intake over xmas so far?

[Uncle Spielberg]

An audit shows I have consumed just shy of 2 bottles of whisky in 6 days over Xmas, around 50 units.

I seem to have somehow managed to drink less over Xmas than I do at the rest of the year. My bad.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

xmas day 8 pints 2 1/2 bottles of wine.
boxing day- somewhere around 20 pints and a bottle of wine

Jeez - if that's anything like a regular intake, I can only assume you don't intent to live very long, or you're about 12' tall.

Its a huge intake but the alcohol safe units figure is something the medical profession plucked out of the air and is based on no real scentific evidence. It is also ridiculously low to air on caution as is everything nowadays. Other surveys have shown a normal healthy adult male can consume up to 50-60 units a week with no long term damage and drinking this amount has the same life expectancy as a teetotaler who will live less than a moderate drinker. Its all down to tolerance, body size and genetics.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Said person drank close to 100 units in 2 days. Serious alcoholics drink 30-50 units a day. They won't live very long. Probably until 50's or early 60's.

I wasn't really thinking about units, or what's recommended, that's a huge amount of alcohol in a very short space of time.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

True a bottle of whisky in one go, 28 units could kill some people. Its the massive intake in a short time and some people's bodies will not cope such as Amy Winehouse who was reported as drinking 2 and a half bottles of vodka , 65 units in a 24 hour bender which for a female 4 foot 11 and 6 and a half stone is not a good idea.

Think you need to have a word with yourself mate. That's a ridiculous intake of booze. And this coming from a Scotsman...

Indeed, but she was never destined to reach old age though really, was she GG.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I drink around 45 units a week on average which is double the recommended " safe level " and pretty much nothing but neat whisky. I enjoy it, it helps me relax and forget about the day to day struggles of trying to survive. This has increased over the last 4 horrendous years but the way I see it , is life is too short to deprive yourself of everything in case it may knock a few years off your life expectancy. Churchill drank like a fish and lived to 82 and stated " I took more out of alcohol than alcohol ever took out of me ".

Alas she had the " self destruct " demons.

None of my business Uncle, but you might want to consider switching to something a wee bit gentler on your insides than neat whisky. My brother's tipple was neat vodka, lots of it. His stomach essentially exploded as a result sometime overnight on New Years Eve five years ago. My mum found him dead on his couch in the morning. I had to spend most of New Years Day phoning round the entire family, including his kids. They all came on the phone, happy and bubbly and ready to exchange Happy New Years. Instead I had to reduce every last one of them to tears. f***ing traumatic. Sorry if the above seems overly depressing, but that is the harsh reality of the endgame. I seriously would not wish it on my worst enemy.

Sort of killed New Year stone dead for all of us since that point on.

Sorry about this and thanks mate.

You take care mate, we want great things from you in 2012. An REMF book would be nice for starters...

Us Canadians know how to drink and it was 2 special relaxing days. Boxing day my mates intakes were not much different than my own, just a night out in Northern Ontario
