I’ll bet her family is so proud of her!

Alcohol? Too much. Still have it in my system. Don’t move too fast, don’t put your head in strange positions. Too many drinks and way too loud music. Not enough sleep. And food was not enough. But the Ritz-Carlton here in town sure has a nice bar. In a town without real bars. Cold shower number 2 needed.

Sounds familiar.

Sounds like me when I was younger.

Reminds me of this song.

Dire Straits – Heavy Fuel

Whats everyone favourite?

Koskenkorva (finnish Vodka brand), specially mixed with Jaffa (Finnish orange soda brand), nice and refresing drink

i honestly dont think the problem is as bad as the Media makes it out to be.

I think the problem is a lot worse than the media make it out to be – they only show horror stories of anti social behaviour but that is only the tip of the iceberg. Between the hours of 12 midnight and 6 am most of the attendances in A&E departments are due to alcohol – either people who have drunk to much or people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught up in the violence. What is not reported is the effect that excessive drinking has on the close families of those drinkers – an awful lot of domestic violence is carried out after serious alcohol consumption. Alcohol costs society more than £25bn in terms of hospital admissions, policing etc. The easiest thing to do to reduce the amount of drunken behaviour and reduce the numbers of young people drinking is to raise taxes as alcohol in the UK is ridiculously cheap and easy to get – that also may be the reason why our European friends don’t have as many problems.

For most spirits
25ml = 1 unit

Its far stronger then average strength sprits.

We had an away day all dayer, started at 9am on the train to the match, got to Chesterfield (Yes we are rubbish:D ), straight to the pub for a few hours, down the off licence to get bottles of voddy to take in the ground and mix with coke, police escort back to the train station (for our own safety 😎 ) after the match which we won of course, back to the office licence for the train home, before going on to a club 😮

No Comment on the below video (Mates at the said game)

Its a wonder your not dead !

I am working on a construction site in the far east of Russia,we have a bar for supervisory staff only,manual labour do not get any(well not that we know!)So we are supposed to be responsible persons and moderate our intake.Every morning a random office is breathalysed and if you are positive you are sacked,no excuses you are of the site by lunchtime and yes we do have about two cases a month.So what about people in the UK that get up after a night out drive to a factory and switch on the machinery they use!Can an employer introduce such a scheme in the UK?Maybe it would make people think twice?

I was accosted by an alcoholic tramp, last week in town… He had puked down himself, hadn’t shaved for weeks and stank ! Twenty years ago he was in my class at high school, a shining example of academic prowess, and about to embark upon the first of two degree courses he eventually passed with flying colours…

God knows what happened in the meantime, but he enjoyed a drink or two back then and I suspect it most certainly got him at some stage…:confused: 🙁

He was obviously very stupid at some point. Either that or incredibly unlucky, though I highly doubt alcohol was the primary cause of him being in such a state. (By that I mean being homeless, not drunk!)

Brian, A sound post that everyone that over acts on alcohol should think about !! It Will get you !!

Sorry to disagree there but;

I have regular blood screening because I have type 2 diabetes. (other than the calories and sugar content, alcohol has no bearing on my condition). Three years ago my results showed a big increase in a liver enzime, signifying damage. I was referred to a specialist, had a scan and was told I would need a biopsy as the scans were not conclusive.

The specialist advised me to stop drinking alcohol. Full stop – no maybee. I was to be re-tested in 3 months, then 6 months.

I looked up a few liver ‘tonics’ as it is the only organ to be able to repair itself – if a certain level of damage is not exceeded. Some veg juices and grapefruit are known to help.Obviously I went Dry for the 3 months and on the re-test the enzime was half the original level. The next test was back to healthy normal.

The interview with the specialist was revealing. I had worked shifts for most of my life (I was 52 at the time) and was a red wine drinker, with beer on (rare) nights out. I thought I was around the NHS safe level, as I reckoned on about 28 units a week. Two years previously I had come off shifts and was able to indulge myself of 2-3 glasses every night. Whilst on shifts I always had a 4 day break each week from alcohol. That was Snag 1.

Snag 2, was my accounting. I drank big glasses and without realising I was consuming nearly a bottle of wine a night. The two of us liked a certain brand which was screw topped, and you easily loose track of how much is gone from each bottle if you put unfinished bottles away till ‘tomorrow’. My wife drank much less than me and if she nattered me about the quantity I shrugged it off. When I did a full ‘audit’ of my consumption it was double the limit – over 50 units a week. I never drank to the level of drunkeness (because I have always had a low threshold and become dizzy after about 5 pints or a bottle of wine)

I now drink again but in very limited quantities and usually with a break of weeks rather than days in between.It’s usually for celebrations or on holiday. I’m lucky to not be an ‘addictive’ type person and didn’t drink for underlying reasons. Lucky because I found it easy to stop.

The specialist and my GP are adamant that another few months of this ‘abuse’ and I would have had cirrhosis and subsquently cancer of the liver.

Please take it seriously, I didn’t like the 3 months before the first ‘good news’ results.

Went out last night and had a great time

So decided to calculate the units

23 Units comsumed 😮

So according to the government thats what i should be drinking per week downed in a few hours.

Check your drinking
Alcohol intake

I think the governments recomended levels maybe a bit low :dev2:

I stopped drinking beer in June after being diagnosed with Diabetes 2, in fact I stopped drinking completely for about 3 months and felt much better for it. Since then I’ve had the odd ‘diet’ vodka but don’t really feel the need to drink much anymore, so I quit completely again a few weeks ago and I’m feeling the benefits once more.:) I might have a few around the festive period, then again I might not bother at all and stay tee-total forever… choices choices…? :rolleyes:

As for the general debate, I think drink is too freely available and too cheap, especially in the take home markets. There’s also a prevailing culture that sees drinking as macho or cool, particularly amongst the young/student types and I think this has become worse since the advent of so called ‘alco-pops’ around 12 years ago. 😮

When I started drinking, those sweet flavoured drinks weren’t available and one of the things that put us off from experimenting more was the fact that beer tasted so bloody awful. I think making sugary temptations like Bacardi Breezer and Smirnoff Ice was a bad bad idea and I suspect will be responsible for a rise in alcoholism and alcohol related illnesses in the current teen and twenty something generations in the future. 🙁
