Does anyone think that if you drink beer, like a twelve pack a day for the last 20 years....?

Question:

...((my husband)) that it will eventually turn you into "two" people...the morning person, and the night person. I've noticed my husband of two years, drinks quite a lot of beer....(yes, I knew it when I married him) he is so much fun...and the beer doesn't hinder his actions..only to get really silly by the end of the night. But I'm afraid that I really am seeing two different people, in the fact that he doesn't remember things the next day..of course. I guess what i'm asking is ...will he die an early death? He is in perfect health...(just saw the doc) the only thing his blood pressure was up...138 over 90....which is not bad...and the doc told him to watch his salt. Just curious...he drinks alot of water on the job also, does this counter-act his beer in his system? Lots of questions..I guess...

Answers:
ok i am 39. i drink at least 12 beers a day and have for about 19yr. i work everyday so i start drinking at about 6pm. i went on blood pressure meds 2 months ago. my bp goes to normal when i am drinking. the doc said it was because it is a depressant.high bp runs in my family. whiskey and vodka and stuff like that is what hurts you. beer is not healthy but i think we will be ok. sounds like he can handle his drink so let him have fun. if it becomes a problem then you will see it right away

Hey I am like that too but I don't drink quite that much and I drink alot of soda during the day to counteract the booze (well that's not why I drink the soda but I am going along with your theory here).

There is an episode of 'Friends' about a guy who is called 'Fun Bobby' when he drinks because he is the life of the party and everyone loves him....when he stops drinking he becomes this despressed dark person.

As far as dying early....well maybe but I personally would rather die at 65 than spend 20 extra years in diapers in a Nursing Home.

You probably don't want to hear this but yes. It will affect his Liver, the most important organ in the body. He also sounds like an Alcoholic. I know that is something you also may not want to face.
