question about beer drinking and health concerns

[bigbet1234]

fish, exactly. i have family that will not touch alchol, but will drink 5-7 cokes a day. shit they use that stuff to clean battery acid of car battery terminals. also used to clean blood off the road at accident scenes<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by FISHHEAD:
The "professionals" say two drinks a day are the limit one should drink to avoid serious health problems.

As long as you dont drink everyday, my personal professional opinion is that you can stretch that to four beers per day.........but thats definetly the cut-off point!!

Four is also works much better than a lousy two on the social end of the scale.

It also should just keep you just under the rader as far as a DWUI in most states as long as you stretch the four out to at least 90 miniutes.

As you can tell, I have this down to a science.

Also, beer is all natural and next to purified water, is one of the healthiest drinks you can consume in my professional opinion.

Think about it........4 beers a day vs 4 soda pops a day.

The beer drinker in the above comparison is drinking twice as healthy and will live a healthier lifestyle in the long run.

....have often wondered about what FISHHEAD and bigbet1234 touched upon.....

I don't drink, haven't in 12 years....never had problems with it and never went to AA...do believe I was headed down the wrong road with it....got tired of hangovers and money pissed away into urinals....

since then I have switched and now consume 3 to 5 cans of pop a day.....my mom warns me about caffeine eating away at the calcium in my bones.....I don't know if what she's saying has any truth, if it did I'd have no spine left by now, and I'd look like a cat when you pick one up around the midsection, all drooped into a long horseshoe....

Should I be shopping for a headstone any time soon?

Marco- Funny post!

3-5 sodas a day seems like alot, but thats just me.

I would be dead in 3 years if I consumed that many.

when is a time it is too much beer?

i drink about 3-4 days a week. usually limiting it to 5-8 beers. i dont drink to get blitzed, i just love the taste.

i know it can affect the waist line, but when does it become damaging to your vital organs?

i have heard drinking in moderation is good for you.

any thoughts?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
IMO, you are probably o.k. Bottom line, everyone lies about how much they drink. They amounts that you discuss are virtually innocuous IMO. When people go to a doctor and say that they drink 15 drinks a week, the true number is like 40. I think you will be o.k.

so if doctors recomend you 1-2 beers x day
the true number is 5-6 a day

Good point there. Likely true.

Two drinks and an Ambien and you feel like you had eight

That was a classic line "I am not a Dr. , I just play one at TheRx" ...Funk Money

I am 36 yrs old and NEVER tried alcohol of any sort,drugs or cigs. I live a very healthy life style,working out,playing tennis,softball,basketball,etc.No stress,no problems sleeping,plenty of p**sy when I want it,etc.,etc. But I'm still concerned about my health because of heart disease that runs in my family.My father,his father and mother all died fairly early of this and just within the last few months a couple of times for no reason at all my heart started racing.I haven't seen my doctor yet about this because its only happened twice but damn it sucks having a strike like heart disease in the family against you!

Sorry guys I know my post above was a little off the topic about is drinking beer bad for you but this was on my mind!

Genes are a bitch!

You sound like your doing well for yourself though.

I suggest eating lots of olive oil, garlic, oatmeal, salmon, and walnuts.

This should had a few more weeks to your life and maybe years.

I am 5 feet 7'' and weight about 180 pounds (not fit at all but not fat fat or anything)

I have an average of 15-20 beers/drinks/week

The other day I got a blood test and the triglycerids were really high......so I will start taking a capsule a day of omega3 (suposely thats very good for those issues) and hopefully it will go away without having to cut down on
