throbber Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I usually have only 3 beers on the Friday night so I’m left with 6 beers and a half bottle of red for the Saturday/Sunday so I’m only going over the limit 2 days a week and drinking responsibly on the Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's tremendous restraint well done. Consuming 4x the recommended safe weekly limit in the space of two day screams "ready to be a father". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Tell that to your liver! Progress is progress though. Once the child comes I won’t be able to drink so much either so it’s best that I cut down gradually until then rather than going cold turkey months in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 It doesn’t matter if you don’t follow all these medical guidelines word for word, I am still in good health. I don’t smoke, I have reduced my caffeine intake and get my 5 a day easily, even on the days I’m drinking. I also exercise every day through swimming running and playing 5’s so I’m not worried if there is one small guideline that I don’t quite satisfy. The safe drink limit is meaningless anyway and is merely just there for insurance purposes for when they privatise the NHS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I haven't drank any alcohol at all since September 23rd. I shall however be having some beers on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Why Bud though? I just like them, sometimes I have a few nice Kraft bottles of beer as well but I very much go for quantity over quality when drinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 29/09/2017 at 14:30, Sweet Pete said: Absolutely agree. There's very little social aspect to it like there is with alcohol. Missed this thread but couldn't disagree more with the above. There's very little social aspect to it because you can't sit in a cafe and smoke weed together like you can do in pubs, but if it were legal (as it should be) then you'd see the social aspect. Doobies are designed to be passed and shared, how can it not be a social thing? Some are wasters, granted, others are normal people with normal jobs leading normal lives. The latter being the more prevalent among the folk I know. And the ones who are wasters would more than likely be wasters even if weed didn't exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sommeliers throughout the land nod in approval. "Oui monsieur, you are quite right, the Sotanum 2009 is not fit to be used to clean your drain. 15 cans of Budweiser is an excellent choice.
