Following on from the Drinkers Like Me documentary featuring Adrian Chiles how much are you drinking each week ?

Apparently men and women who drink regularly should consume no more than 14 units a week.

I'd say I probably average around 20 - 25 units a week.

How about you ?

Fair play, can I ask how much you were putting away ?

Fourth pint of the day. I'm in the second pub today from my top 10 station pubs list (I'm on the railway line to Fort William).

I'm well over my 14 units for the week, no idea what I imbibe.

Not much really, drank like a fish as a student, less so as a working man, but have had migraine my whole life which has got worse as I’ve got older. Realised alcohol was a massive trigger so cut down, but when I went out with some mates in Manchester and had the weekend wiped out after only two pints I decided to stop there and then and haven’t touched a drop since.

If i had to agree with you we would both be wrong
Matchdays I tend to sink a few pints with a couple Port chasers probably drink a weeks limit in one morning, Even better when Chunkymorrin is in the chair lol

Do enjoy a nice few Ports when watching a decent film or footy on the tv.
