Drinking

Go for it mate, we're only here once.

 

I don't drink much at all in terms of frequency. Maybe 2-3 times per month but some months I'll have nowt.

Calories being the main reason, but also because I get up at 5:45 most days to train and it'd be much harder if I was wrecked.

I like drinking though, lots of nice beers out there, I'm not much of a spirits drinker although I've heard Thai Whisky is lovely.

 

I drink 2 or 3 times a week. Sometimes only a couple of beers but sometimes a bottle of rum.

On average I probably drink 8 pints a week.
Probably a bottle of rum a month (not always in one hit!).

Hard to say for sure as my drinking habits vary so much, so that's a rough guess.

 

I keep the rum for Xmas and Easter. Might have to cut down a bit I thought I was quite normal.

 

You are normal for yourself.

Everybody's body is different anyway so it's all guesswork and guidelines.

 

Easter?

 

Must be a good Catholic boy. My Ma still buys me new clothes for Easter and I'm 37

 

I'd probably drink more if I didn't do overnight oncalls for work. That does help me limit my drinking tbh. You don't drink too much mate, that's fairly average I'd say.

 

I don't even buy my kids Easter eggs!

 

Yeah Easter's a big thing in my family. We usually have family stay and go full on with roast lamb on Sunday.

 

Some of my mates drink twice that, but they are lads that go out on Friday and Saturday. They probably drink more than me in 2 nights.

 

A good bit of advice if you want to cut down is to start smoking weed daily.

 

A mate of mine's a guv'nor in a pub. He's ****ing huge. He's about 6' 2" and weighs well over 20 Stone. He smokes about 30 - 40 a day. He had testicular cancer a few years back. His Oncologist asked about his smoking and looked unimpressed with the answer. He then asked him how much he drank..........

"30 - 40 units" says he.

" A week?" asks the doctor, expecting no answer other than "Yes."

"A day.......but more at the weekend."

The doctor actually said "**** me!" out loud.

 

About the same as me then, on a normal week, unless there is a do, like a wedding or a birthday lash up

 

Drinking a minimum of 7 pints of relentless a week (like you do) is probably worse tbf

 

Probably

 

Can confirm this works.

It also works the other way round in my experience.

 

You're far better off with steady but sensible drinking than not drinking for 4-5 days and then going batshit on it, like some do at the weekend.

If you're gonna get liver damage it's far more likely from binge drinking.

 

I got the impression when you said you drink 'at least 1 can of relentless a day' you often have more! Maybe 2 or 3 a day?

You could be on 14-18+ pints of that a week mate

 

I run most days, does that mean I can drink more?

Today I did 8k so how much am I allowed to drink?
