Drinking/Drugs

[Furah]

How the hell do you get the idea of being [bleep]ed by 3 guys in a night from Skins? Unless you're talking about the American version, and then it wouldn't surprise me.

[Grogthurk]

I drink.

 

 

 

A LOT.

A LOT.

I don't drink often, but when I do, I consume more than the rest of the club combined.

Do you also prefer Dos Equis?

 

 

I drink everyday. Like, a healthy 1-3 beers. If I hit the bar, its like 6-8 beers and a few shots.

Spirits drinker, myself.

Good luck with your liver failure.

I know, right? I mean, "a healthy 1-3 beers"? o.O

[Range_This11]

Oh come on, the age of 18-24 is a time where most people dabble in alcoholism.

 

1-3 beers a night is not much at all actually. We're all going to die of cancer anyways.

[Duff]

True, but it can't be good for you :P

[Range_This11]

The heavy drinking, no, but a couple beers with dinner isn't bad for you and I've read elsewhere that having a daily glass of wine or beer is actually good for your health. I don't know if that's proven or not though.

I thought it was just wine...

 

 

But everything is bad for you if you have too much.

Your liver is only [bleep]ed if you're an excessive drinker. A beer or two here or there isn't going to kill you.

You're only focusing on the extremes variables there. 1-3 beers is very casual drinking and also doesn't mean that he is always have 3 beers every night like you bolded. Also when he refers to going to a bar it's only probably only a few nights a week like one or two.

 

I don't know why you have such a negative view on drinking, but it's not as bad as you make it out to be.

[Duff]

I think we can all agree that beer may not be very bad for you, but it definitely isn't good for you.

 

Pretty sure it's just wine, not beer, that can be good for you. Beer is just a can of calories. :P

[H2PM]

You won't kill your liver if you drink a few beers.

You won't get lung cancer if you smoke a few cigs.

 

It's called moderation.

[The Observer]

People do lots of things that may not be necessarily beneficial to them. Sure it's not good, but it's not necessarily bad either. If it becomes a heavy thing, then obviously alcohol is a bad thing for that person.

 

Yes, in theory alcohol shouldn't be consumed at all. However, it's just become a social norm for people to use it. It's something that doesn't cause a lot of harm unless consumed in mass quantities, so again, if it becomes a heavy thing then it's a bad thing. Taking life too carefully may not necessarily be the best option. It can take away from life just as much as it gives more of it. I'm not trying to imply that not drinking alcohol means that you're being too careful. Not at all. All I'm saying is that overall when you are too careful, life can be less fulfilling even though it's slightly longer.

If you include the trips to the bar, he probably is averaging 3 beers a night, which is a bad idea if continued for a while.

[fastortoise]

I've now come to realize that people who argue about how much beer is good or bad for you clearly need more beer in them.

 

Also, I really like beer. Drank 3L the other day in one bar, then shots at another bar (that lil' jon song came on so we had to). Then played rock paper scissors drink with a 270 pound man behind the bar and got pretty drunk.

There are a million other things more people do on a daily basis that are worse for your health than three beers a night. It's only perceived as worse because you become intoxicated from drinking beer. How about the people that eat at McDonald's, drive without a seat belt, get extremely sunburned often, or play contact sports that cause brain damage? Those are just a few examples off the top of my head. Like I said, it's only perceived as more negative because it makes you drunk.

Drumming...My (Our) poor ears D:

[Range_This11]

Oh yes, my hearing is already damaged. So many hours spent on drumlines without wearing earplugs. I do wear (ear) protection when I'm playing the set though.

[Nomrombom]

All of those things are just as bad if not worse, except contact sports because it takes a damn long time (like 5+ years depending on sport) for brain damage to be significant.

[champion]

My hearing is going to be [bleep]ed when I'm older. So many concerts. :thumbdown: I try to use earplugs now though.

 

Edit: Well I just realized this post is rather off-topic.

He's not saying it's the worst possible thing he could be doing, he's just saying it's a bad thing. Just because he doesn't do "X" doesn't mean "Y" is justified. And it's not perceived as negative because it gets you drunk, it's perceived as negative because it puts you at a higher risk for liver cancer and all that [cabbage] excessive drinking does.
