Statistics say that the average person has 9 alcoholic beverages a week ... it’s good to know that I’m above average
To me 9 drinks a week is borderline alcoholic. It is more than your daily night hood which is entry-level alcoholism as well.
“Too much of anything is bad, but too much of good whiskey is barely enough.”- Mark Twain
There were a couple of years in the 80s that Im pretty sure that I was single handedly responsible for keeping Jim Beam profitable. My friends and I were enjoying the youthful debauchery that was that time. We each had more than 9, WAY MORE, every day. One day that was just enough of that. Now I can usually only fit in time for about 2 a month. One still tastes like two and two always tastes like 20 but its become much easier to count correctly as Ive gotten older.
Ive been meaning to work on increasing my health anyway.
As you can see by some of the asinine responses, alcohol is never a scientific discussion. The discussion is usually loaded with ridiculous religious beliefs and misplaced anger. The drug warriors decided to add tobacco and alcohol into the anti campaigns because the larger the net the more fish you catch and the more that catch is worth so now its about stolen money too. Youre an addict, my paycheck depends on it.
