That's it, I always say it depends on the person, alcohol effects people very differently

5 pints per day isn't really dependent on the person! Things aren't going to end well.

I have two friends, one a publican, they both drink 26 kegs a year, about 5 pints a night year round, one is a heart attack waiting to happen, the other is fit as a flea with no weight...I couldn't do it myself...

What's a unit, a pint? If so about 10 units over a weekend

Pac1Man

The alcoholics won't be dialing it back just because they've read a boards thread.

Bobtheman

I'm wondering how many of you are still alive and still drinking?
I really haven't moderated. Still around 30 units

Similar in a way here, had a good lash of it last night at a mate's 50th party but normally just have a handy 3 or 4 pints on a Saturday night in the local

Was on the tear in cork last weekend and probably had about 70-80 units over the three nights. Planning to stay under 5 a week now until Christmas/new years, and maybe do a dry January then.

The boss never knew I drank until one day I went in sober. "Right" says he " no more driving school buses for you"

I got back from a week in the Canaries on Wednesday last week. I dread to think how many units I got through. Was drinking pints of Tropical for 2.50 per pint, a very decent local lager, followed by Jagermeisters with Red Bull. My God, the size of the shots over there!!!!!!! They just picked up the bottle and poured and poured and poured........

Bought a litre bottle of Jager in the Spar in Playa del Ingles for €14.99 and brought it home, planning to save it for Christmas. Lashed into it on Saturday night though, and now seriously regret not getting two bottles.

Started back to work this morning and still feel slightly less than 100% (probably about 50% tbh). Think I might be OK by the end of the week, by which time it will be Jager-time again

you sound like someone who knows how to enjoy themselves...:D

Oh believe me I practiced it enough in my younger days, in my 40's now and just couldn't deal with that :P

Closing in on 40's and I feel your pain!

Was only talking to a mate the other day about how we used to go out Thursday night, early to the pub, followed by a club, then home on a bad night or someone else's home on a good night. Up at 6 to catch the train. Quick vomit in the jacks at work and a greasy burger and all was well again. Even the idea of it makes me sick now.

It'll be a sad day when I start counting units.

Same as that, I'd have a few pints most weekends, either in the local with the OH and friends or a few beers at home or if we're away on holidays etc, Friday and Saturday night only, would never drink on a "school night", work is hard enough without going in hungover

I think about 40. Usually confined to one day a week though, not a fan of multiple days on the tear. I'm well able for one good wild night, but long weekend, wedding and stag sessions absolutely slay me.

These days I need a 3 day weekend to recover from one night

Pretty much zero most weeks. Going for a drink means getting people together who are long settled down and live in different counties, and planning it so I either get a coach to and from Dublin or arrange somewhere to stay.

Too much hassle most of the time. We try and do something every quarter but that's about it.

I lose count, every time.

These days we cannot hold an opinion that is strong and true without being called on it.

After seeing what drink does to my sweet kind old neighbour....

I feel sorry for your neighbour because he's obviously fighting with some demons and drink isn't good for him.

That doesn't mean other people can't enjoy it socially. One of my parents has been in recovery for over twenty years now (and hasn't touched a drop in that time, they're amazing!). That doesn't mean I can't enjoy a glass of wine with my dinner, or a few vodkas in a bar with friends.

The majority of people are perfectly capable of controlling themselves.

But the point is that not everyone who drinks alcohol behaves like your neighbour. The vast majority don't.

Exactly, it's like saying "I'm coeliac so nobody should eat bread, it's awful stuff."

Only get out about once a month or so, I'd have about 8-10 pints before falling over from tiredness and drunkenness.
