    Fella I work with, goes for a few pints at least three times a week, says he has an average of about ten pints a week. Is it me or is that madness? Guy is in his early 30s.

    Sounds like you're working with a full-time mad bastard.

  • Site Banned Posts: 725 ✭✭✭Balanadan


    Does he go for the few pints while he's at work?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,717 ✭✭✭BarryD2


    Well going by Ray D'Arcy, he's a raging alcoholic.

    Sure that's nothing.

    Fella I work with, goes for a few pints at least three times a week, says he has an average of about eleven pints a week. Guy is in his mid 30s.

    Nursing 3 pints over a night hardly worth going out

    He's just sounds similar to somebody drinking a few glasses of wine at home during the week!

    10 a week, meh. Bar I frequented very briefly consumption was up to 20 pints day!

    A lot of people will joke but it sounds like he's drinking his life away. A man in his early 30s is still fairly young, and there are many healthier hobbies he should be looking into: running, the gym or perhaps he can take up football or handball or something. Much better than sitting in the pub three nights a week or playing video games.

    I run, swim, lift weights & coach Judo and ten pints a week would be an easy week for me

    I used to drink that in one sitting in the bad old days.

    Fair play, hopefully it will never catch up with you when you get to my age. I'm in my fifties and too many of my old friends are struggling with high blood pressure or diabetes thanks to their years of excess.

    Mind your own bloody business. Next you will be telling him when to go for a dump. :p

    They should be down the local havin' the craic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭EarlyStorms


    In Ireland having 10 pints a week would be a very moderate drinker.

    The OP is full of crap. Posted one earlier about the DUP etc . On the wind up.

    I don't know who any of those people are. You don't need to be a doctor to know that drinking to excess is bad for you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭completedit


    10 a week sounds like a very European number. They seem to socialise over beer in a way we don't. Couple of beers a few nights a week and they go home. Don't get the point but I think they actually like beer whereas a lot of Irish, beer is just a part of the night out

    Also, the person above is an idiot. In a lot of ways socialising over a few beers is a better use of time than a gym workout. The gym is self consumed and a means to an end, its.solitaru and unsociable. Having a pint with some friends and having a laugh is living

    *I say that as someone who drinks very rarely but when you think about it, one is much more fulfilling than the other.

    If there is football on fair enough, some lads might want to just get out of house, have a couple of pints and go home.

    10 pints a week is very moderate though, I'd go out 1 night and have 7 or 8, so maybe what I am doing is worse.

    Either way none of our Business, if a man is happy to do what the OP has said that person is doing, leave them to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete


    Ah come on, I have ten pints a week easy and I don't even drink.

    Try harder


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,484 ✭✭✭Andrew00


    Seriously though I know a lad I used to work with that would drink 11 or 12 pints and still drive the 5km back home
