I'm not proud of it,but not a single day passes without a cold one in my hand!Bud is the brand.Average about a case a week.

Only on days that end in "Y".

I try.  It's a goal of mine.  My favorite thing to do is wake up and just start drinking till noon, grab lunch and ride out the buzz for the rest of the night.

Yes, I do.  I go through 2 1/2 cases a week or so.  Not a good habit. It will hurt me over the long term.  I'm 40 and have been doing it ever since I was in my early 20's.  I know my days of popping a top are limited.  The ole liver won't hold up much longer.  Just make sure you maintain proper nutrition or you will kill your liver real fast.

I have been lately.

I have a much worse problem living w/o Mtn Dew.
Even in college, we usually took Tuesdays off.

Sometimes the term"Too much is never enough"applies unfavorably.I don't give a damn,I love my brew!

Yes, but who cares?

If your not getting drunk everyday, beating your wife or kids or dog, or doing nothing but drinking, who cares.

If your not hanging out at the bar every night instead of hanging out with your wife or family every night, who cares.

If your not out getting drunk and getting behind the wheel, getting arrested, or messing up your career, than who cares?

A case of beer a week IMO, ain't a bad thing. In Europe it's fairly common. It's called relaxing. Stress can kill you as well, a fact often overlooked.

Studies have even shown that 3-5 beers (or the equivalent in wine) a night are good for you. So..... ?

A couple of beers a day is not a problem. As long as you're not having to drink more every day to get some same affect. Relieving stress is a very important thing to do. It is the leading cause of illness and anxiety. A long term regular treatment of the correct herbs can help you to avoid ever having to do prescription drugs to counter the affect.

Beer has herbs. Beer is good :)

Dr. Retro approves.

Thanks for the input?,fella's.

[b]Over 100 million men, women, and children participate in the number one recreational activity in the United States. About 18 million become so nutrient deficient that they eventually require medical attention, and die at a rate of 100,000 per year. All participants develop health problems ranging from increased susceptibility to colds and flu to life threatening liver damage. Between these extremes are the dreaded hangover, alcohol induced premature aging, free radical damage, anemia, pancreatitis, neurological disorders, and other debilitating conditions. The recreational activity is alcohol consumption and until now it was a losing proposition. Worldwide hundreds of millions of people choose to drink and now they can get more mileage out of their drinking. Everything from the hangover to life threatening liver disease is preventable by using the correct vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, herbs, and lipotropics. I define the above nutrients as life-force nutrients since their presence protects the liver and other tissues from alcohol damage, and their absence or insufficient presence threatens the drinkers health and quality of life. Overall, the need for an intelligent person's guide to healthy drinking is clear. In this book I present alcohol metabolism and the role of nutrition in an easy to understand manner, while relying on peer review medical research to substantiate the medical fact that you can drink healthier. Moreover, as a Registered Dietitian, Certified Nutrition Support Dietitian, and educator, I have positively influenced the health of thousands of drinkers by encouraging the use of certain nutrients at specified times before, during, and after drinking. Science has long provided us with the nutritional answers to the health problems inflicted by alcohol. However, vocal anti-drinking groups censor this helpful information in a futile attempt to discourage drinking even though from a societal standpoint it is far less costly to have informed drinkers rather than the uninformed. No matter how much or how little you drink, your health will benefit from my approach to drinking. This is not to be interpreted as meaning protection against or a cure for alcoholism. It's simply a strategy to minimize the adverse effects that alcohol inflicts on each cell in your body. By drinking healthier the body can win the internal war of alcohol metabolism. A normal diet that includes the four food groups is simply not enough firepower. This book will teach you: Which nutrients to take and when to take them based on your level of consumption; how to lose a beer belly without missing a single frosty sip; which foods to eat and avoid before, during, and after drinking for best results; how to cleanse and heal your liver with herbs, antioxidants, and lipotropics; how to prevent free radical damage, premature aging, and hangovers; how alcohol helps protect against heart attack and stroke; how to help a loved one drink healthier; and how to fortify your booze:recipes. These easy to understand and extremely useful strategies will appeal to executives, college students, weekend drinkers, practicing alcoholics, counselors, anyone who drinks, and anyone who wants to keep their drinker (loved ones) healthy in the midst of plenty. The 21st century is upon us and it's high time everyone who drinks becomes an educated 21st century drinker. [/b]

My father knew Jackie Gleason,he used to drink every day(JG).But he wasent a drunk.Gleason touted,"drunks dont know why they drink" he said,"I drink to get drunk".I no longer drink on a regular basis.Saves me a G note a year easy.

Winston Churchill was a big, daily drinker.  He led Great Britain though WWII fueled by a liter of brandy or whiskey each day.  "I have taken much more out of alcohol than it has taken out of me."  

"im losing my grip...  [b]I NEED CAFFIENE [/b]"

Don't drink.

ATF. Not particularly in that order.
Good Luck

if you drink a lot of beer,you drink a lot!just keep guzzling and maybe you can get ussa's bed when he is done with it.its not"relaxing"its drinking.used to be achohol and drugs were used only on special occaisions now corporations have got you by the shorthairs buying into their crap product[at least gernany enforces brewing laws!]alchohol and tobacco products are the leading causes of misery and death in this country,if not the world.just try to think of all the wonderful decisions you made w/ a brew in hand and how things would of gone different if you hadnt been drinking.do yourselves a big favor,and do something with yourself other than drinking some overpriced corporate pisswater

Hey thanks drock. I never saw it that way before.
Good Luck

My buddy USED to drink 200mls of South. Comfort a day, and the docs told him that if he don't stop drinking, you WILL die within a year.  He has been attending AA meeting and has cut his drinking down to 200ml a week.

At least ont heni a day.

So far I have isolated myself from the hostile outside world and if things do not change for me soon I will be drinking every chance I get.

I usually have a beer when I get home from work, and sometimes I'll have one or two with dinner.

Trust me, I am the last person you wanna see drinking! Not only does it make me "a gigglin' gertie"( that's what a fellow bartender calls me) it messes up my aim!

Drock.  I don't think you are all there. Big coporation is NOT your enemy.  Big Brother is.  Read some Ayn Rand and set yourself straight.  Moderation is only good if it's self moderation. Yes I smoke, Yes I drink.  I smoke now in moderation: 3 cigs today, thats about how much I do daily.  Alcohol is always welcome and that might be anywhere between 1 - 9 depending if I have to work the next day.  Besides, I'm smoking and drinking for the children.

Can't get through the day without my vitamin A! The least understood of all the important neutrients. "never trust a man who doesn't drink".

I am a Jesuit priest.

Any manual labor merits beer.
Beer(s) after every workout.
Bottle of wine every night, with dinner.

(Days that include labor, workout and dinner...)

That's the textbook definition of an ALCOHOLIC!~!

Maybe you should think about that a little the next time you crack open a crutch, I mean vice,  I mean beer.

Well some would suggest that Coors Light is only water anyway.

Really?  When, exactly, were those good old days when alcohol was used only on "special occasions"?


The statistics kept by the US Department of Health and Human Services do not support that assertion, at least as far as causes of death are concerned. [url]http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm[/url]  

Reformed drinkers can really be tedious bores.
They point their fingers at everyone, hoping it makes their weakness seem less so.

Word of caution:

DON'T DRINK THAT HOOCH HARD LEMONADE - DANG IT!  IT TASTES LIKE CAA - CAA!  Man that stuff sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![puke]

Yes, I consume adult beverages. SHINER!!  LOVE THE STUFF!  But shoot, a six pack will last me two weeks or longer.  That's not too bad.

"I'm drunk right now."

Just kidding.

Drinking a lot is fun in one's early twenties, but it gets to be tedious pretty quick. Same with smoking cigarettes. I'll drink a beer about once every two months, usually at friends' houses, if it's offered to me. One's enough. I smoke a pipe with about the same frequency, usually at historical reenactment events.

Take care of your body, and it will take care of you. Otherwise, it WILL become your enemy, more quickly than you can imagine, kids.

What - you expect me to drink plain, unadulterated orange juice for breakfast?

[:P]

Several beers most every day except for Wednesday's when I am in school and my last class doesn't end til 9:00pm

You are OK but are headed into the danger zone. If you drink 4 beers everyday you are going to wind up having trouble.
Quick story. I started drinking when I was 14. Drank everyday throughout my late teens and twenties. Even worked at a liquor store during college.
Everything was cool until I was about 28 and suddenly I went from drinking a half pint of whisky a night and thinking nothing of it to drinking a pint and I realized something was wrong.
This will likely happen to you some time. I just quit. No AA or anything. It was strange at first but it's great now.
 Bottom line if you are 30 or above stop drinking. Most people don't drink everyday. We need you in good enough shape to get yourself and your weapon to the designated area when SHTF along with your mags and two canteens.

I had a good friend in college who had a beer with dinner every eveining.  He'd always say in that West Virginia drawl:"Drinking a beer or two every day won't make you an alcoholic, but it might keep you from being one!"

Good advice, I've found.  [sniper]

You're only an alcoholic if you go to the meetings.

 

A single to 5 beers a night is average for me. It doesn't get me drunk but it does make it feel like I'm doing more than just watching tv or sitting on the computer.
But if $$ it a little low I don't drink anything, its no big deal...

As ar50troll stated earlier "[b]That's the textbook definition of an ALCOHOLIC!~![/b]"

Has anyone ever been to any type of alcohol meeting?  EVERYTHING is a definition of an alcoholic.  Even if you drink one beer a year, they call you a "pattern alcoholic"  Only drink with friends you are branded a "social alcoholic".  Every instance you are deemed an alcoholic.

I have a shot of Rumple Minze strait from the freezer every now and then. I really don't drink at all any more though.

Tyler

Yes.  But only 2-4 Coors Lites each day.  Weight holding at 170.  Not exactly a guzzler but that what I go by.

I quit drinking 7  years or so ago...

I took it up again in this last year or so... but only when I'm camping, in Reno at a casino... etc.. I don't drink anywhere near my wife (shell kick my ass).

With the day I've been having since yesterday...today is a good day to leave town...

Most reformed drinkers are just as bad as ex smokers... I cannot stand people telling me what i should do because of what they did....

How much or how often you drink has nothing to do with whether or not you are an alcoholic. What you DO when you drink is what determines if you have a problem. If you do things that cause problems in your life when you drink, no matter how often or seldom, you have a problem.
I have now been sober for about the same number of years that I stayed drunk and have personal knowledge of the topic of this thread.

Do I drink everyday?  Hell no....not since they invented the funnel![BD]  I rarely tie one on anymore.  I just don't recover from the hangover as quickly as I used to.  I have a six pack spread over 2 weeks.  Now of course when the 10th of November rolls around, providing I don't have to work on the 11th, I'll get shit faced for the ones who went before.
