Exclamation Re: Alcohol... advice? - December 4th 2010, 11:31 PM

Going out 4-5 times a week to get drunk is no good it’s extremely hard on the body. People who binge drink (weekend warriors) are putting themselves at risk of liver diseases even more so then the everyday light drinker. Seeing as how you drink more frequently you’re putting yourself at a greater risk. Drinking is something that can control ones life. You need to balance having fun and drinking. Sometimes it’s smart to take a few nights off the alcohol.

Alcohol is addicting, most people don’t know it till it’s too late. People seem to forget it is a drug like any other. If you have to ask if you’ve got a problem then you probably do, put yourself to the test, try to go 2 weeks without a drink. You’ll quickly find it’s a lot harder then you might think. Drinking can also hurt your ability to have fun with out the drug. Drinking is fine when you know your limit when you can say I’ve had enough or when you’re able to drink without getting wasted.


If you think you’ve got a problem I’d take it into consideration before it becomes a life turning issue. Don’t fail in school because of your nightlife, later in your life you’ll look back and regret what a great opportunity you passed up. Make no mistake everyone thinks it’s not going to happen to them until it hits you so hard you fall flat on your ass.


Personally I think you’d be wise to cut your drinking down 80% only allow yourself to drink once a week. Then lower it even more if you choose.
