Thread: Drinking two drinks per day or four per occasion? You have problem!

Well, most people I know older than college-aged do not drink to get drunk. I think the article may be saying that those who drink more than two drinks per day on average or four per occassion is a binge drinker, and I agree. Seriously, if you average more than two drinks per day, then you do have a drinking problem (why the hell does anyone need to drink that much?).

I used to play this game with one of my ex-girlfriends where we would have sex twice a day. On days we'd only have sex once, we'd have to have sex three times the next day. When we got in fights, we had to make up by having sex four times the next day. It was pretty hard to maintain, even with a high libido. The point being, to average two drinks a day, you have to drink 14 drinks a week. So if you only go out once, 14 drinks for that one night. Twice a week, then seven drinks each time. And if you are drinking more than four times in one occassion, you are probably drinking to get drunk.

Well, I am not drinking to exercise my bladder. If I want to not get drunk, I'll have water; its cheaper.

I don't drink much anymore, maybe 3 or 4 times a year. What is wrong with getting drunk? I do it three or four times a year

I would say 95% of all my friends since high school drink more than 4 beers on any given weekend night.

My buddies are drunks. Everyday atleast a 6 pack. Waste of money in my mind. They think I'm crazy for going to the gym

I don't drink at all anymore...
I think if you use alcohol to "relax" you have a problem...
especially if you do it alone... at home... every night... in any quantity.


I would rather see someone power drink with friends as a hobby

To be honest, 90% of the time I drink it is binge drinking at parties. I don't do it that much, once every month or two.

Now and then I'll have a couple with friend at a restaurant, but usually I don't feel like paying 10 bucks on drinks along with my meal.

getting drunk feels awful i don't even see the point. a drink or two once in a while i think is okay but even daily drinking of 1 i'd think your fitness goals weren't a real priority. not that they aren't it's just hard to think that's good for your body.

Yet they say you should drink two glasses of wine a day because its healthy.

Hooray Beer!

I expect they ask how you can afford "so much money" for a membership, too.

Same here. We have an excuse though since we're from Boston

But seriously, I know I don't have an issue. Unless I'm drinkin to get drunk, I don't drink at all. And when I do get drunk, it's usually on some given weekend day/night watching sports or playing drinking games. I'd never just hang out alone or with one or two people getting drunk unless it was to pre-game for some event later in the night. If these are the standards they're using for drinking problems then I'd say around 75% of college kids in the country are alcoholics.

They did, but $20 a month is cheap compared to $100 week on beer! My supps are not even that high

Good stuff and coors light do not belong in the same sentence. No light beer is allowed in that sentence.

Same here .. if i'm gonna drink, my intention is to get drunk. I don't half-ass it just having 1 or 2 beers with a meal or just a light social drink. I drink to get drunk, period.

That only happens about 1-2 times a month. I will be drinking this weekend before finals week. Why? Because it's more fun than studying.

Ummm, I drink to get drunk. I drink maybe 5 nights a year at max, usually at a wedding or some shit like that. Then I hate myself the next day for poisoning my body.

You are all making me feel like an alcoholic.

eh i have to put it there. i drink it with my father in law, or my little brother. the kids swears by it granted he is 24 now but what ever. as far as light beer goes coors light really aint bad.
