If you're at home who cares, but if you're leaving a bar or party, TOO MUCH is when you're over the legal limit. Of course there are fools here that say they can drive fine over double the legal limit.

2 shots in one hr is over the legal limit in MD

if you cant drive with that little in your system..man o man darwanish needs to take care of you...

god forbid you drive behind a school bus and get dizzy from the fumes and kill somebody $:-\$

you're a fucking poopoo aintcha?

heres a thing i always wonder about. Although they say binge drinking is bad for you, i am convinced that it must be better for you to binge on say 20 drinks on a saturday then let your liver repair itself (which it does naturally apparently), than having 4 drinks every single day and never giving the liver a rest. Whats your thoughts guys ?

Didn't drink last night and I'm not gonna drink tonight either.

My real problem is the urge to drink more and more. Like if I had a beer right now I'd have the urge to drink atleast six and after six I would tell myself atleast 10.

But I haven't drunk in 2 days straight and I feel good about myself.

I had a Bud who I'd have to say, drinking had something to do w/ his death from a brain tumor.
You cant continually knock down 1 liter of booze in a day and not have something give out.
He simply got to where he couldn't stop drinking, no matter how sick he was going to be. He'd Hide it from everyone. Kind of sick to watch. Another friends mom went same way, but Liver gone. 1 liter a day habit for a small woman. Her family tried to stop her,, but no way.

i have had a problem with it! you DO NOT have to drink every single day to have a problem with alcohol. if it has made your life unmanageable more than 2x, u have a problem. for example...getting a dwi more than one time, jail, loss of a day's work, loss of one's job, you try to stop, but can't, you switch the kind of alcohol you drink in order to not get drunk as fast, you drink and drive, you have blackouts, like you can't remember what you said the night before, or where you parked you car, etc, etc. these are all signs of addiction. there are also stages of it as well. if you think you have a problem chances are you do. try an a.a. meeting. it can't hurt. then, if after 90 days of abstinence from booze you decide you don't have a problem , then go and live it up!

do you guys think i am joking?! this is no joke dudes! i'm an alcoholic, and i don't give a shit who i tell, as long as it helps the other person. addiction is not something to play around with. i have seen many die that thought thet could handle it on their own! (one guy was as young as 22, and now he's dead from a heroin and alochol overdose). if you think you have a problem, go to an f'in a.a. mmeting! there's nothing to be ashamed of....the shameful thing is not doing something about it!

He's right Alcohol is a nasty drug.But I personaly think I see more Teenage problem drinkers with the 21yr age limit;
Back in the days of 18yrs we were not so damn compulsive with fear of not loading up enough on it. We could all ways
get more, it was no thing. I see todays kids really binge BAD! They buy excessivly out of fear. I think the law did more harm than good.

I was wondering what you guys consider excessive daily consumption of alcohol?

Have any of you had alcohol related problems?

And is consuming about 300 ml of 40% alcohol by volume daily harmful? Can it cause problems in the near future other then addiction.

I get drunk or high every day when i'm of training but i allways find my way back to the gym when my drinking gets really bad and it has bin like that for 5-6years now
If it was not fore the weights i probably be dead now

I think pumping iron actually does has a DeTox effect-to a point. If you can just stop entirely, and reassess the situation can help. If your knocking it down in the morning is the beginning of probs for a many.
Sometimes ya got to part w/ drinking buds for a time if they are a trigger to you overdoing it.

A real good bud of mine died from a brain tumor, I believe it was alcohol related. He got so he could knock down a Liter of brandy in a day very often. Start in on it next day again w/ no food to speak of.
I bet he weighed down to 145lbs BW @ a bit over 6' tall. Sad. Got so he could not stop pouring it down even when you could tell he'd be deathly sick next day. He had no control anymore, he had to drink to feel ok, and he'd get sick from the drink. Try to hide it, get angry w/ those that tried to help, deny and make endless excuses.Vicious circle.

There's a lot of great stuff out there in the world to throw your life away like that. If you think you got a prob, back it off and stop awhile at least. Get professional help if you need it, thats not weakness. He had a real good job and left behind a large estate to those he would not have ever given it if he knew he'd die suddenly.
Get all you can out of life.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, bro. I like to drink, but nothing like a liter a day. It's just that after a long day I like to have the feeling fo intoxication before I drift off to sleep; I feel this way just about every night. I don't know whether or not I have a problem, or if can become a problem in the near future, but I have abstained a few nights and it didn't feel so bad to not have a drink.

I like to drink and I'm not gonna stop doing something that I like. What action I will take is controling my alcohol consumption to no more than 250 ml, which I think gives a great buzz while not being a huge amount of alcohol in itself.

Yeah, I aint all preachy, and I think people should live free, but drink does some real harm.
YOu'll see it as you get more miles on in life, take care enjoy.
