Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted January 12, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 12, 2020 I have had 1 to 4 beers on a daily basis for probably 40 years with no ill effects ....liver enzyme blood tests always come back normal. I'm strictly a beer drinker.....(exception:occasionally will do shots when with certain friends. ) But I also eat fairly well which I beleive is key to staying healthy if you consume alcohol. A lot of people who develop problems drink and forget or don't want to eat right. I have stopped entirely for a week or 2 at a time and even 6 months once with no DT's but really didnt feel better or worse from the cessation. I just love to come home from work and relax with a couple beers .....just part of my routine and have zero intentions of stopping. Pretty sure studies suggest 1 or 2 drinks per day are beneficial.

Pretty much same here. Wife and I have a beer or two everyday after work. Talk about our day and relax for a few hours. I guess the problem is some can’t have a beer or two. Never understood why you have to be a hardcore alcoholic or drink nothing. I don’t judge, everyone has to do what they think is best for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't drink often , but when I do it's to get drunk. The idea of 1 or 2 never interested me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSFB Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Shit, sometimes I think I drink too much but then I read how much some of you guys are drinking. I have 2-3 almost every weeknight and then a few more on weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I’ve cut way back over the years. Beer only and may average 8 a week. I know this because I’ve been buying the 8 pack cans of Guinness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been retired for a few years now and usually gets a head start before I get home, so she actually has more than I do most nights but she always says "it's only light beer" if I ever give her shit that she drinks more than I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm usually a one day a week drinker and maybe 4-6 beers or a few rum/Pepsi. I knew a guy that drank 30-40 pints of lager every day and he's hit the occasional 50 pints in a day. He was considered a champion of drinkers.

Ahhh....unless that dude was a giant among men and 450+ lbs I'm gonna call bullshit. That's 44-60 12oz beers per day. That's 3-4 12oz beers per hour 16 hours per day.

He was a great pool player and a super nice guy. We had 3 Canucks in the top 8 at that time in the world ranked 1-3 and Bill was #8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
