Please disregard all of my prior posts. I can’t help it–I’m brain damaged.
Interesting. 100 drinks a month is a “heavy social drinker” as distinguished from an alcoholic.
I guess I’m freakin’ retarded.
This is the kind of study that I really hate. I’m not sure if you can call it junk science or pseudo-science, since it is probably technically correct, but 100 drinks/month? So I either drink 3+ drinks every single day, or I binge drink 3-4 nights a week. But I’m not an alcoholic?
Oh, wait! But I have to have at least two drinks a night to keep my heart healthy and extend my life.
3 drinks a day? hell, three dinks shotgunned right after the other? still not enough to get most young people drunk?
so you can be a heavy social drinker and never even get drunk.
It makes me wonder how I was able to work full time, go to school three nights a week, maintain a high GPA, and still drink that much.
I can’t drink like that anymore because I’ve become so efficient at metabolizing carbohydrates that I’m buzzed after one beer and asleep before I finish the second. Another benefit of endurance training: Cuts your bar tab way down.
But I was never a heavy social drinker. I prefer to drink alone.
Screw that pseudoscience. Here’s the real scoop.
