    I am a 80% alchool rum fan!!
    Too often, we loose sight of life's simple pleasures.Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap that mother!%$@%# upside the head!

    I am NOT anonymous.

    Anyway, the OP was probably drunk off his ass when he made the post.

    Personally I think yes, you are drinking pretty heavily. Given that in my experience (considerable, I've worked with addictions all my adult life) most people underplay their consumption, often considerably, I'd be pretty concerned.

    As I understand it, 24oz = 710ml. That means 710 x 8.1 / 1000 = 5.75 units per can. If you only drank 10 of those a week that would make basically 60 units. Guidance varies globally, but nowhere regards your max limit as more than 3-4 units per day, so your absolute minimum in a week has you consuming 2-3 times what you ideally would be. And that's absolute best case scenario, not taking into account days you're a bit stressed after work, times you go out with friends, have some with a meal, special occasions etc etc. If you instead had 20 cans in a week (sounds perfectly possible) you'd be consuming a seriously large and potentially very harmful amount.

    I suspect, despite what you say, that you do know there's a problem or else you'd not be asking people on a random forum about this. However, by all means don't listen to me, or anyone else on here, we're just people from t'internets after all, but I'd strongly suggest you pay a visit to your doctor and tell him what you've told us. And do pay real attention to what he/she says.

    You work on that one for awhile, pento? It seems you missed the joke entirely anyway... (*hint* most people would not take offense to being called anonymous; they would take offense to being called a twit). Twit.

    Oh well, at least you didn't edit this time. You should have, but at least you had the tenacity to keep riding that autistic horse.

    Extremely useful info.Otherwise I'd advise you start drinking cough syrup if you are only doing it for the ''buzz''.

    It may sound like bullshit but it's true:
    cough syrup>alcohol
    Alcohol sucks dudes.It's like weed compaired to tobacco.

    I doubt switching from beer to cough syrup will make his life any better...

    Don't be so harsh on yourself, everybody here knows you are all talk, so don't worry about it, just take your meds.

    lol do what Pentamato does.

    "Don't drink your problems away. Dupe-account them"

    Create multiple personalities and whenever you're faced with a problem, shift to your other persona.

    That shit works lovely doesn't it Pento?

    A can or two a day probably won't do much to the liver, Although if you've been drinking for a while you can bring on dependence. When you stop suddenly the withdrawals are not fun.

    I've had withdrawals before with drugs that act on similar receptors as alcohol, seizures insomnia ect. and staying in the hospital not fun.

    If your interested check out this page http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...cle/000764.htm
