how much is too much...beer ???

Question:

i have about 4 or 5 beers in the evening about 4 times a week.
sometimes give it hell on the weekend.is this unhealthy? and what would you say is average or normal consumption?

Answers:
Sorry, but you are drinking way too much.

At a guess you are drinking a minimum of 100 units a week.

The recommended limit is 28 for a man and 21 for a woman. This would mean an average of 2 beers a night every night of the week, with no bingeing at the weekend. If you continue to drink at your current rate you are at risk of obesity, liver disease, liver cancer, heart disease and dementia, as well as the social damage you risk to your close relationships and your career.

Sorry if this sounds a little heavy handed. I know it's not easy to cut down. If you are serious about reducing or stopping your drinking, go and see your GP - they can really be helpful.

when you cant stand up any more and lay in a pool of your own vomit... stop drinking
