Yeah? So can we all put numbers in boxes and figure it the **** out?

Problem: It doesn't work in the pub, and it's too fiddly to use pissed.

Not on my newsreader it ain't.
;-p

Besides, isn't the normal response supposed to be "*ginge*" followed by
masses of abuse?

I feel cheated.

I'm trying to be a little more original...

 

*boggle*

Kudos for sorting it out, chap.

Tedious prole that you can be, I'd rather have you around than not.

Will'd dad reckons they made up the numbers in the (60s?). Basically,
the number of units the scientists recommended was deemed to be too
high and so they cut it down drastically.

I can't be arsed to google to see if it is indeed crap or not.

 

Jesus on a motor scooter!

My average is probably around 10 a week. Probably only Paul Corfield
drinks less than this.

 

I actually have alcohol abuse on my medical record. This was from
mentioning to a quack that I was drinking around 50 pints a week. At the
time I thought this was quite normal. I still know lots of people that
drink more than that and don't seem adversely affected.

I'm down to 40-45 a week now, so that's probably ok.

Session 1 on my Drink Driver Education course taught me a) the "not a good
number " idea above [1] and, more importantly, b) the recipe for a 'Turbo
Shandy'[2].

[1] which explains why I'm on this bloody course in the first place.
[2] which sounds like a lot more fun than the course

 

Apparently the number was agreed between scientists (high number), teatotal
groups like Amethyst (0) and the BMA (middle ground) and was originally
deemed to be 21 units (14 for females). Since this made it sound as if it
was ok to drink all your weekly allowance in one big piss-up, rather than
promoting regular, but moderate drinking, the figure usually quoted these
days is 3-4 units per day (2-3 for females).

BTW, the average for 15 members on a particular drink drive course recently
was about 60 (lowest 0, most between 40 & 80, two at 100/117)

 

What worked for me was coming around in the morning with a splitting
head being told I'd downed a bottle of vodka in an hour, proceeded to
become abusive and then went to bed... only to be found an hour later
lying on my back coughing on my vomit.

I stopped drinking to silly excess on a daily basis then. I think I
probably drink in the region of 30-50 units a week at the moment which
must be fine and dandy.

 

I think my average for the last 8 months is zero.

 

I can understand that.

This is what I thought was the case but you've confirmed it.

Err done that quite few a years ago. Very similar stories to those
elsewhere in the thread but without the drinking of bottles of spirits.

Yep - can understand that.

 

Er, meant a bottle (or more) of vodka for him.

Well fortunately for me it was just a case of deciding to drink less and
sticking to only drinking in moderation, so I'd class myself as an ex
heavy drinker rather than an alky.
Like everyone I still get a bit leathered from time to time, but I
don't have one shandy and wake up the next day on a park bench or
anything

Heh. I'm usually at my most tediously prole-ish when I've had a few.
Go figure.

 

Well, that's going to be tought to beat. Anyone?

 

**** no. I haven't had a drink today though.

How can zero be an average, unless you produced and extracted booze from
your veins?
