Default Is 6-8 tins a night wrong?

i drink 6-8 tins stella/carling a night. I dont get off me head, just mellowed out and stuff.

Thing is, is it just me that drinks that amount every night week in week out. Oh and they dont include me sat night pub visit

CAN you go a day without drinking? or do you always crave beer?

i am sure others would agree to differ but i do like to drink a half case of carling a night (12 cans) and a good 40 pints between friday and sunday !

you need to watch out for the beer gut tho mate as i have gained 10 stone on this beer diet in only a few years and have a 66" gut. if that is what you want then go for it !

Doesnt sound like you really have an addiction problemthen, but drinking that many cans a night isnt good on your body and health in general.

Do you think "oh, i must have a beer" or is it more a case of "hmm, ive finished work I quite fancy a nice cold beer on the sofa"?

same here mate. only drink when off duty. how many cans you get through a week? i get through 4 or 5 cases of 24 plus a good 30 or so pints on weekend.

big problem is weight gain although i dont mind.

To find out if you have a problem with it just lay of it for a week

If you get irritable or cant sleep then you have a problem, if not carry on

I can happily have about 2-3 cans one or two nights a week and feel chilled and relaxed! No more IMO

Just over do it when going out on Saturdays and regret it like feck on Sunday

I went to the pub 7 nights a week and had at least 4 pints of lager Sun -Thurs,then 6/8 pints Fri + Sat for about 4 years in a row..I didnt put on weight,Im 5'11,32 inch waist and weigh 12 stone. Then my mate moved away and I now drink once a week,every Sunday and i have 4 pints.I dont miss the drink and looking back I dont feel I had a drinking problem.So to Sludge,if you feel good and happy keep on drinking!!!Regards Micky

My Uncle was exactly the same, did pretty much that for about 20 years.

His funeral is Monday , Yardley Crem in Birmingham, 42 yrs old as well which is a tad grim.

Yes but the trouble is, how long before you do start having drink for breakfast youve got to be giving your liver some shit, your not going a day without letting it rest

I'd call that a problem mate.

Please ignore bigwelshlad - the Ł150 hole in his pocket each week is the least of his worries!!!!

Fuckin ell - not being funny - but i find you giving health advice somewhat hypocritical - with a 66" gut - by all technical rights you should probably be dead
