I drink all drinks at a similar rate (well almost), that's why I gave up spirits. Whisky gave me a brutal hangovers.

So I became a beer and wine man. No real hangovers - could feel a bit heavy the next day but nothing horrible.

After consulting my scales and then a doctor I was forced to appraise how much I was really knocking back. It was averaging about 16 units a night. Typically 2 large glasses of wine followed by 3 or 4 (usually 4 and occassionally more) 440ml cans of 5% strength beer.

I have halved that but the health police would still say it's too much. Maybe they're right. But hey I like it too much to give up completely.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

I usually have one real binge a week - usually with a match. Then pay for it for a day or two.
Don't go down the pub as much as I used and frankly can't drink the same as I used to. I find eight is around my limit these days.
I stopped the takeaway eating and maybe have some noisy tea and toast before bed and snore worse for a night. I'll drink ale at home but basically will drink the cheapest lager in the pub - mainly a cost thing.

Red and Blue Army!

When I frequented my local years ago there was a fella who smashed it on Friday night. I mean twelve odd pints and shorts. He said he loved being drunk but hated the taste and if a pill could make him feel as pissed he wouldn’t drink again.
Strange but true.

unfortunatly always drunk pretty heavy since late 20s.
a bad week is excess of 100 units, try to keep it around 50.
Its always been very common in the building trade.
usually beer & wine, try to dodge spirits.
Something thats being addressed gradually, nowhere near as bad as I used to be, although never used to miss work.
However I can honestly say ive know other fellas through mainly work & friends that have drunk exceptionally more.
I knew a guy that was guilt ridden about causing a death in an accident, averaged 100 drinks(not units, drinks that is) from friday to sunday, dead obviously now.
cannot remember its name, but theres a book about richard harris, otoole, burton, taylor, their drinking.
something else!

doctors found crystallised alcohol on Burtons spine during an Op.
He & Liz sounded a nightmare couple.

The problem with Chinese food on the way home is over ordering then waking up to bags full of it all over the shop - including on at least one occasion rice in my shoes.
