What causes more long-term damage?

[BlancoNino]

Drinking a lot and getting pretty damn drunk once or twice a week, or having 2-3 drinks 5-7 times a week?

Getting plastered 2 times a week. Social drinking doesn't do very much to your system.

Probably getting hammered has worse long term effects.


You could drink 365 beers a year and be in OK health. But if you drank only 120 beers, 20 beers at a time, you'd be in trouble.

Hardcore drinking is very hard on your body-but I do i've been drinking like that for two months now.

Now you should include like max per day in this.
My friend's dad drinks 18+ per day and has done it for over 20 years. He's gone to the doctor for blood tests with zero problems.

I was surprised.

2-3 drinks could be a pretty hefty amount, depending on your body size.

Drinking more at once seems to have bigger problems.

Actually, having a couple of drinks a day is beneficial. Helps lower your blood pressure and helps prevent heart disease.

Maybe for a 10 year old...

The health benefits of drinking alcohol in moderation seem to apply to spreading your weekly consumption out. So drinking fewer drinks, but more days a week is healthier.
