Right, someone else can work out the units, but i can do the rest.

3 times a week generally, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, rarely drink other days, social (binge ) drinker only.
Takes a LOT for me to get pissed tho due to serious immunity to it from drinking about 4litres of tramp cider every fri n sat when 14/15/16...

This would be from the weke just gone, but its a pretty average weekend TBH.

Fri- 3 cans of Tennants Super (9.5%?), 2 300ml bottles of Diamond white (7.5%), 4 i think bottles of Fosters, 2 Jugs of Vodka n Redbull (5 shots in a jug is it? 37.5%), 2 aftersocks (35%?), and id guess 6-8 pints of snakebite (so what, 5%?)

Sat- 3litres of Frosty Jacks (7.5%), 3 Jugs of Vodka n Redbull, 2 sambucas, 2 double vodka n cokes, pint of fosters, 2 pints of ARC, and id guess 6-8 bottles of 5% whatever (beer, ropey alcopop, whatever i was drinking in club).

Sun- 1litre of Frosty Jacks and about 10 bottles of VK (5% and i KNOW its gay, but its alcohol and its only 1.50 a bottle all night on Sunday...)

Vodka/Whisky/gin well anything circa 40% is 1 unit per 25ml Stu.


Steve you consume:-
48 units on Friday

52 units on Saturday

16 units on Sunday

So 117units a week...the safe limit is 28units per week and spread over 7 days

Diet Coke = "nil points" (in a dodgy European accent)

Very rarely drink (couple of times a year/special occasions), as I'm usually driving.

Jesus christ

Its pretty accuarate too as the only sketchy bit is how much bottles or pints i drink as i usually only drink them in clubs and too drunk to be 100% by then, but can guess within a few bottles/pints.
The spirits n tramp cider etc is pretty accurate as thats earlier in the night so not hammered yet...

I feel ok tho

gus....remember all research is assuming nothing else happens to you like an accident/any other illness/a freak rhino attack etc etc stc...your just adding another angle thats all.....and lets face it..alcohol DOES have its advantages!

Remember since alcohols beginning its been helping ugly people get sex

Well for up until about 6 weeks ago i drank every night. Probs around 5-8 bottles...or maybe 2 or 3 and a few glasses of wine. Id get in, have tea, do whatver,,then get in bath for about 7 with a beer and just steady away drinking till i went to bed. Then weekend id go out fri or sat and get wrecked. But, for 6 weeks now i have only drunk at weekends,.and thats been light. Feel much better for it.

When I was a student, probably about 130 units a week!

Out lashed most Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Fri. Sat, Sun

Nowadays, just about three bottles of red a week, and a few pints during the week.

Don't go out and get lashed like I used to, so not so much at weekends.
