its not great for you, but worse if you can't do without those beers.

My mate started to get to the point he NEEDED to get a drink down him, and got to a point that he was getting stressed if he thought he couldn't. He stopped drinking for over a year, not a drop, and now only drinks when he goes out or entertains.

8-16 cans a night, you have tried to stop drinking but cant, at what point do you think some one is classed as an alcoholic?

That's excessive fella, try go a whole week without one and see how you feel then, and if you can't seek professional help before it's too late.

Its easy to get into a habbit of a few drinks a night and as long as its within your weekly allowance and you exercise etc its not a big deal.

You have serious drinking problem fella!! You need to contact a drinking charity such as AA or ADSIS or similar in your area. If you "need" a drink and cant stop then your addicted!! people can be physically AND psychologically addicted to booze.

You shouldnt need to drink so much in order to relax. Your problems go far deeper than just the booze but your whole lifestyle. The sheer amount of booze you are drinking it would be cheaper to downgrade your job (despite the pay cut) to reduce the stress.

Its on average 2 units a can of lager and sometimes more. so your drinking between 16-32 units of alcohol a NIGHT!!! Thats your weekly alcohol limit EVERY night.

Do you value your liver and your life????

ALSO are you driving at ALL?? if so i suspect you are almost certainly OVER the limit MOST of the time!!!! If so you need to stop for the sake of others if not your self.

Think of the money its costing you!! its about a Ł1 a tin of lager (tesco online stella 20 tins Ł19.98).

your drinking 112 cans /Ł112 a WEEK
" " 448 cans /Ł448 a MONTH
" " 5696 cans/Ł5696 a YEAR

Thats not far of Ł6 fucking grand a year!!!!!

Thats HALF your wage if your on a minimum wage full time job!!!

Fella if the physical effects dont get through to you, think of the finances!!

Do you smoke as well????

Ive been travelling ten months now and honestly cant rememer the last day hat went where I didnt have a drink, usually get hammered about twice a week and always have a few drinks at nights. Travelling is such a social thing though, you meet new people all the time, meet up with old friends. Where else do you go when in hostels, but down the bar Fuck it im on holiday lol, not overweight at all, which is amazing as ive pretty much ate shit since left aswell

beers and tea are mainly just water with bits in it which is why you can drink so much

just try necking a few pints of milk and you'll soon be spraying cheesy all over the shop

what class of drug do you think alcohol would be if it was newly found?
what advice would you give a friend if he was doing as much heroin as your are doing alcohol?

thats the way i think about it! and like i always say most drugs do have a place in society, its the miss use of these drugs that cause BIG problems
