Who can turn down an opportunity to drink freely for 2 nights in a row with a host of amazing friends? Very few people, I wouldn't, party round mine on Friday.

Binge drinking is meant to be anything over about 12 pints a week. which you can do in one sitting.

Too many bubbles in 12 pints, I could do the spirits well easy.
Its not a good idea though.
I had beer and cola last night - it was a like a strange shandy, only 79 cents a bottle as well.

that sounds rank. And with the 12 pints thing it would have to be an all-dayer, starting at 1.

The government made guidlines that men should only drink 14 units a week and women 12...they soon changed that when people decided 'Oh thats alright, i'll just not drink all week and have all 14 units on friday' haha! Didn't think that one through did they!?

Whoops. If it's 14 units a week for guys, that's only 7 pints. I'm easily an alcoholic several times over according to that! :eek: And the notices on cigarettes never really bothered me that much, it's when you see the ones with pictures that it gets pretty disgusting

I think almost everyone over drinks based on that.
The smoking thing it was the skin ageing that got me, cause well everyone knows you can get lung cancer but its evil stuff, those new adverts as well, the "under my skin" ones - urg!

current recommendations are 3 - 4 units per day for men and 2 - 3 units per day for women ... weekly allowance guidelines have been scrapped.
