What is your average weekly alcohol consumption?

in an average week i will consume anywhere from 60 - 80 cans of lager!......depends how hacked off im feeling!

Not so bad now, 18 bottles of Stella and a 70cl bottle of Smirnoff, it used to be 100+ pints a week.

not true Jockey

Very modest Peter. Keep it up.

which bit is not true?..........that is my average consumption!....i have drank the same amount for pretty much the past 18 months!

peters an inspiration to us all

I've no doubt jockey's telling the truth. Face it - his postings are the terminal ramblings of a near-dead alkie. If, hypothetically, one was writing his biography, you'ld want 90% of the fee up-front.

cheers bodil!........i would say that "near dead alkie"...just about hits the nail squarely on the head!

a real feelgood thread at last!

Hey - justified concern on my part as to future income.

Jockey - Once your only source of nourishment is Cider then it is game over

To right SNOOCH, double skinned barrels tells you all you need to know.

a bottle of whisky per week on average

brings a tear to the eye and a hic to the throat :(

Bito is a soft lad

i just cannot drink cider....gives me appalling heartburn!

Cider = The Devils love juice

It's a real bummer when most types of alcohol cause you pain to drink or just taste bad. I don't recall signing a paper to that end when I was young.

the last time i drank cider i was terribly unwell...it was a vile drink by the name of ice dragon...39p a can and was a foul tasting as can be imagined!

about 140 units a week. cutting down in new year.

Drank 6 bottle of Diamond White cider when i was 15, was ill for 3 days. Have a mental block now, cannot drink cider.

It was probably a drink for ice dragons, ajw. Easy mistake to make.

I passed through the cider phase a long while ago - it was cheap, packed a punch and tasted OK. And came in those convenient 3l plastic bottles.

What you really have to ask yourselves is "do I have somethng better to do?"

know people who live on these 3 litre bottles but also sadly know people who have died on these 3 litre bottles. No use

I guess they didn't have anything better to do. It happens.

this is my problem....i have nothing better to do!

Have you ever considered becoming a serial killer? It would liven up the biography (hint).

funny you should say that!.........i have a huge library of serial killer books!...i have studied serial killers for many years!

Just lacked the guts, huh?

its more down to being unable to fit it in around my drinking!....also im a bit of a heavy breather which sort of rules out sneaking up on anyone!

I understand your pain.

ive have often thought about randomly mowing people down in the car....but its only a corsa and unless i chose really small/weak people..then there would be a real risk that i would come off second best!

We should get together about killing random innocent people.

Though no one is really innocent.

finding a truly innocent person would be harder than it sounds!......however i think that pensioners would be a fair starting point!.....ploughing into the bingo queue would be a winner i reckon!

Yeah - they've all got guilty secrets. We should mow them down - with something more than a Corsa.

I just polished off some weetabix!

Hmmm....

What do you drive, giggilo?

3 afterwork most nights a week. Plus 10 on Friday min. Plus 10 on Sat.

When dieting, tit all in the week and 4 pints at weekends. I can enjoy both - earn the beer etc so enjoy it more.

What new bird has told me - drink what you want and show how much you care about me!! Tonight I dont care, I can lie to her tomorrow after that I wont do it again (not the right attitude I know) I want to turn over a new leaf and I do like her a lot. Honesty can wait a few days.

Hope she doesnt know but a few days ago I didnt know her name!

In the end it will kill you, fagin. You should know that. Embrace your destiny.

As for 100 pints plus a weekend. I can believe that and I think everyone knows someone who drinks that much. But we all feel sorry for them. I hope you find the boy/girl that you are happy with. 100 pints will give you diabetes if not worse!

Oh, and enjoy the bird while you can.

diabetes?.........im not scared of that!.....bring it on!.....it will give me something to do!......im sick of living so why would diabetes bother me?

Merc.

Fagin, I ran a nightclub for 4 years when I left I was probably close to rehab/death.....If hadn't of got out I wouldn't be here now.

Bodil thank you for your advice. I am conscious of that since I stopped playing rugby a couple of years ago - stilll only 27 though - fat but fit if you know what I mean. I do worry about some of my big drinking mates though.

Jockey if your that sick of living there's a lot quicker ways to end it than drinking, harsh but true.

A merc will cull the bingo queue. Jockey - eventually all get to 'the why bother place'. Have you anything better to do? The great thing about racing is wanting to know next year's results. Though I'd settle for tomorrow's today.

Jockey Wilson that is up to you. I hope that you enjoy your full physical capabilities that you dont truly mean that.

I have learnt there is still a turning point - after the doctor said I had the body of a 40 year old 3 years ago I sorted myself out. Not an athlete but now feeling great and much better for the early warning whether it was true or not.

ive had the warning from the doctor....my problem is that at the moment, im struggling to see much point in taking heed of him!.....i have had enough of this wretched planet and if death is looming then the sooner the better!.....its an awful way to be...i know that but im just being honest!

Sadly fagin, "some" of us would kill for the body of a 40yo. Including, I suspect, "young" jockey. We are where you may travel eventually, if lucky.

(mutter)

Still only 27. Got so fat that girlfriend dumped me. I lost a stone and half the past 4 months. Picking birds up again - feeling better physically and mentally.

I can see why though - buttons almost popping from my shirt.

Have to say taking sport again was the best I have done. Quittig beer was horrible to begin with - got used to it - body improved so not a problem had a few beers at weekends and now feel like a tit being awake as late as this because I know I shouldnt be doing it.

My wife has cancer. She has had three operations since August. She has just completed three weeks of radiotherapy. She made Christmas dinner yesterday, refused all help and it was still up to her usuall standard. Bloody perfect.

She refuses to die because life is 'great fun'.

Get over yourself, you bloody pooff.

Not, you, fagin, I meant wilson

I know its nothing like cancer and I am not trying to compare it. It does not bare comparison.

150 units a week as a guess.

Harsh but fair, Gallivanter. Sadly we know many like your wife as we age. Bloody random stuff. No sense or justice. Sing in the sun while you can.

The money you're wasting on drink you could be slowly getting some dough together and putting more time in the form book,i was in a similar position 6 years ago.

Not you, Faigin!

Dont really know what to say to you. If it means anything to you I am thinking about it.

90 units here. Had the full check up a year ago; I smoke as well. 41 years old. Doctor was in his twenties. He had nothing he could say other than "you won't get away with this forever".

I'm going to try.

gallivanter...im sorry for you and your wife, however are you seriously saying that im lucky because i dont have cancer?....believe me mate...if it was transferable id take it from your missus....im serving no purpose whatsoever at the moment and i agree that its crap that people who are enjoying life get struck down whilst people who are detesting every minute remain relatively healthy!.....just another of the tortures of this cursed world!

giggs i agree mate....i need help...i know that!....its just that right now i cannot see any point in getting it!....i hate my life and im not sure that i want to do anything to prolong it!

I suppose that's the curse of the modern wo - oh dear, just coughed up bloody sputum - rld. So much expectation, so little effort. A golden age or a insane age?

Sputum?

You probably need to find someone to persecute/eliminate. We are at our finest when killing each other.

Just read Gallivanter. Best wishes mate, and I am certain she has the right attitude.

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun.

there is something to be said for enjoying life, not just extending it, bodil.

Of course. Just to see what dreadful thing happens next.

there is nothing as dreadful as wasting a life worrying about something that never happened.

Put the addiction of drinking into form,thats exactly what i did unfortunately it dictates your life but at least you can achieve something whilst making money.Study everything for 12 months get some money together your addicition will become a skill.

;)

Forget the dead, they will not follow you, and its all over now baby.....

havent had a drink in 3years, so tonight im going to get hammered

No offence intended, Jockey Wilson. I were drinking one of my Christmas presents when I called you a pooff and I'm sorry I said it now.

You're just a bit depressed mate, it can happen to anybody. Get yourself off to the doctor and see what pills he's got and try very hard to make a major change in your life. Joining a club or moving house or job or something takes you out of yourself and lifts your spirits because you meet new people.

Best regards and I'm sorry for what I said.

Gallivanter = top bloke imo

Virtually Nil.

Though for the first time ever ( I'm 55) I DID drink at home on my own, last week.

I had 2 very small glasses of Caribbean Rum/Coconut and it WAS nice!...but can't see the point of drinking alone...

To summer my average of about 45pints a week cutting down to now about 18pints a week. Drink free in the new year cos I,m gonna try packing in smoking.

jockey wilson: Genuine q....How much do you weigh and do you get any outdoor exercise..

Zero

Charlie: Some reckon you gotta have a drink or 50 to proove you're a real Man..lol

About 80 units and all over a weekend :(

Gonna cut back to a Saturday only in the new year but heading to the pub later.

IF YOUVE GOT A PROBLEM WITH DRINK IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,IF YOU THINK LIFES TERRIBLE NOW,KEEP DRINKING AND IT WILL GET WORSER YES WORSER

AND TERRIBLER YES TERRIBBLER

Just read Gallivanter above and hope all goes well for you and your wife in the new year. I cherish life as well although I'm doing my best to feck it up.

Jockay, I certainly couldn't give it up but I've knocked midweek drinking on the head. With a bit of will power I know I could stop drinking altogether but I enjoy it, Saturday's especially is my football day. My new year resolution is first to cut boozing on a Sunday out altogether then a Friday. I've no plans on giving Saturday's up.

Despite my username I'm normal weight and eat healthily and exercise moderately but the weekend boozing will probably cut 10 years off my life. I wouldn't mind having some time with my Grandkids (if/ when they arrive)

Do Wah, I like your threads but please don't give us a sermon on this one.

Per week. 2 bottles of vodka and 20 cans of heineken. Being doing this for about 10 years now.

More than government guidelines, I know. Still, no health trouble.

Charlie: Some reckon you gotta have a drink or 50 to proove you're a real Man..lol

How about playing darts and drinking beer, 3 nights a week, for 9 years form '87 to '96, and gaining 5 stones in the process. Not touched it since, am I a man now? I don't really want to be left out of this exclusive club of pi$$heads, do I ?

Jockey - cut the drinking and get yourself a catalogue Thai burd. It will knock 20 years of you.
