POLL: Excessive drinking?

[Corporate Thug]

[Rubycon]

You're SUPPOSED to have 8 (glasses) per DAY!

 

[neegotiator]

Not enough, step up your game

 

[loup garou]

No.

 

[andylawcc]

haha.... "No" OWNZ "Yes"

 

[EvilYoda]

You must remember, the average ATOTer drinks a bottle a day. and then drives.

As for your answer...it depends on the time frame. If you're having that many over the extent of an evening, that's not too bad. If that's on a run in an hour or two...then yeah, that's drinking for the sake of drinking.

LOL, I like how you were ambivalent on a day.

...well, if you start at noon, it's not sooo bad.

12 oz of what? Beer? Wine? Khalua? 151? Everclear?

That's 1 drink M-T, and then 2 on Friday, Sat, & Sun. Maybe one or two more on Friday & Sat.

Not what I would call excessive.

That's assuming you space it out. Having that many on just Friday and Saturday isn't that good for you. But otherwise it's just a drink or two a week over what most *reasonable* health care professionals would consider "healthy".

Obviously 1 day is a better number to shoot for, but lets be real. There are far worse things we can do to ourselves than have a couple beers on the weekends.

Are you serious? 10-12 drinks over two days? That wont even get you drunk! Keep in mind that I rarely drink anymore.
