Only if you drink less than 12 hours Ron
You will get withdrawal symptoms |

Hush up chaps, you're ruining my power hour. Going for gold here and trying for 16.
My only downside to the drinking is that I'm getting a chubby fecker and that combined with my laziness makes it a real chore to wipe me arse. Soon I'll have to going at it from the front and I have no clue as to how my balls are going to take to the idea  |

It could be construed as a problem, yes.
It also explains a lot.  |

Need to keep yourself hydrated Ron.
I drink over 5 pints of water a day. |

By:
the drinking is not the problem it's why you need to do it

It is a problem for me these days. I am not the man I used to be.

By:
Only a problem if you can't afford to do it.

Have a couple of days a week off and don't drink.
If you can't do that, seek proper advice. |

Huge daily and weekly intake of alcohol for last fifty years or so. Managed to excel myself in last 18 months or so since I retired. I drink all day every day. I've always been quite slim but now have a pronounced, in fact a relatively huge beer belly, which everyone I meet comments on. Last day without alcohol was probably over ten years ago.
Yesterday about two in the afternoon suddenly got this intense pain in the kidney/liver area and about half-an-hour later started vomiting. Vomiting just made pain worse. Tried a couple of paracetamol but these came straight back up, couldn't drink anything not even water. Tried going to bed but pain was just as bad, tried standing, sitting but nothing helped. About 8 in the evening decided to go to A&E then thought better of it as being Saturday night I thought it would be full of drunks(!). Half-an-hour later pain miraculously disappeared and was able to eat and drink without vomiting. Went to bed about 10 and slept well until about 3:30 when woke up with same bloody pain and immediately started vomiting again. Stuck it out until about seven and decided to go to A&E which luckily is only about a 10 minute walk. Place was deserted. Checked in, saw a nurse within two minutes who took blood pressure (177/78), temperature, etc and then straight into one of the nursing rooms. Another nurse came straight away, took blood pressure (144/78) blood for testing, urine for testing and put me on a saline drip. Saw a doctor after about half-an-hour and had x-rays almost immediately. Trollied back to room and nodded off for about an hour. Nurse again took blood pressure (126/77). Soon got results from doctor. Blood tests ok but some blood in urine, nothing untoward on x-rays. Doctor put everything down to dehydration and advised drinking 8 pints of water a day. She did also add that if it happened again to phone for an ambulance (which I found odd). Prescription for co-codomol and that was it. Absolutely brilliant service and shows the NHS isn't finished by a long way. How old are you Ron? |

An interesting piece Charlie, glad to read you was given a near clean bill of health
|
|
By:
Thanks Ron, must admit was a tad concerned. Two things I do do is eat well (home cooking) and sleep well.
|

By:
sounds like acute pancreatitis charlie, but if the bloodwork was ok, then maybe not.
we are all free to live your life as we choose, and it's none of my business but the drink will eventually catch up with you. |

"we are all free to live your life as we choose" I quite liked this had visions of becoming the next Dice Man.

Earlier this year the max recommended units for a man was reduced from 21 to 14.
So I went from being Ok to drinking an unhealthy amount overnight. |

By:
David Hanmore drinks 525 units of alcohol a week which exceeds the Government's recommended allowance of between 21 and 28 units
Dave is more commonly known as Disco - puts things in perspective! |

By:
"safe and dangerous" and "healthy and unhealthy" are weak and ineffective descriptions spewed out by lazy journalists in lieu of presenting the proper data.
it's all here on page 21. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/545739/GDG_report-Jan2016.pdf play whichever odds you choose. |

By:
Glad you're OK Charlie. The pain plus blood in urine made me think that you could have passed a kidney stone.
Perhaps you should ask your GP for further checks. |

Foinavon could well be right!

Started reading that report but it's heavy going. Most of it doesn't seem to relate to really heavy drinking but I'll continue reading it. I'm under no illusion that drinking isn't bad for me. As an ex 40 a day man (went electronic three years ago) I always thought it would be one or the other (or a combination) that got me. |

I've heard the wisdom often repeated that you need some days off a week to allow some healing.

sure you didnt swallow a can in your haste

By:
You need a month off to let your liver recover if it hasn't gone too far.
Heavy drinkers are more susceptible to gout and diabetes amongst other things. |

By:
Andrew Marr was reported to take a month off from drinking occasionally.
It didn't stop him from having a stroke. I bet he feels like a drink these days after he looks at himself in the mirror. |

The treatment involved having the drug injected into the spinal fluid while hanging upside down

By:
Wouldn't fancy that. I imagine it would be hard to drink while hanging upside down.

If you are drinking 12 hours a day, every day,then that will catch up with you sooner rather than later
You've obviously got issues, you need to ask yourself why you are drinking so much |
|
By:
The "every day" was an exaggeration bigH,
But can see it getting progressively worse lately - probably give it a miss all together after xmas, that's the plan anyway. |
