Since splitting with my misses 2 months ago i've been drinking anywhere between 8 and 14 beers a night.
Is this just a phase or do i need to seek medical help?
No desire to drink throughout the day though just the evenings. Cheers

As long as your still eating and not fading away then not that bad imo
Also what % are the beers ?
Beer van protect you from heart disease but maybe not 14 pints a night ( 12 bottles maybe )

Mainly 5% beers. Usually drink san miguel, amstel or peroni.

5% better than weaker also imo as you would end up drinking more 4% than 5%
Get on the Brewdog 5.5 6.5% small cans and not as full of junk as some gassed up beers

Off to the shop in a bit to get myself 10 cans so will see if they have any Brewdog
Alcoholics Anonymous has a list of 20 questions to help you decide if you are an alky.
My view is that 8 or more Yes answers means you need to seek help, not that I'm an expert on this
My favourite ones are:
4. Is drinking affecting your reputation?
20. Have you ever been in an institution ( e.g. chit chat forum ) on account of drinking?
Ok, I made that last one up.

You have an addiction/habit, call it what you want...because if you can't have night off then you are an addict, simples.
I used to drink heavily every night and would have described myself as a functional alcoholic in a senior position, nobody knew how much I drank as I was never late, never hungover and did a good job. Only thing is it wiped me out for the weekend! Then a just slept..Still drink but a really concerted cut back and not at all during the week. Saves £££s and my liver because like you I'm not immortal

Prepared 8 good beers is better for you than 8 cups of coffee or red bulls
Cheers prep. I reckon heavy drinking is a younger blokes game.Try and get it out of your system before your forties for the sake of your health.
A beer a day helps prevent stroke and heart disease, new study suggests
Red Bull gives you.... increased risk of heart disease, say scientists

Never been a coffee or red bull man. I'll quite happily drink tea or squash throughout the day.

Heavy drinking makes diabetes even more likely.
Gout is something else that's on the increase and can be precipitated by drinking.
Even cancer is more likely for heavy drinkers.

If you drink that amount each night there's a good chance that you would be over the drink drive limit, especially if you go out early.
Don't drive in the mornings so no problem there. Was texting my dad when in the shop so totally forgot to ask

It's a fair amount, particularly if it's every night. I would imagine you're developing a (un?)healthy tolerance as well.
You seem to suggest you might be using it as a crutch, which could form the start of a problem. You should probably try and address that rather than the drinking.

I do do manual work so plenty of sweating it out the next day. Would'nt drink during the day chaser.

I'd suggest you make sure you have 2 days a week without alcohol.
On the other 5 days, BrewDog Elvis Juice is the dog bollox. 6.2% though, so it won't keep you sober.
BrewDog Dead Pony club worth a try and only about 3.8%. You might find you drink less of these cans.

There's your answer. Stop drinking and be the new Leopard, start a new thread every couple of minutes.
my uncle who was an alcoholic. said his boss was in trouble, he'd stopped adding water to his daily drinks. You need to set a level. then very slowly dial it back over months.
As a non drinker with family who were heavy drinkers I've seen it go crazy wrong when they stop dead. Softly softly catchy monkey. cold turkey is fine if you want to seize.

units a can 1.8 average 11 units a night.
1.8x11x7 = 138 units a week. What could possibly go wrong!
If only George Best was still on the forum, he would tell us.
What happened to him anyway?

The Chaser mentioned 'get on the Guinness'....
First time I worked in Dublin, drank about 5 pints of the stuff each night for the first week, found it was feeding me as well and cut my appetite for food to zero!
Switched to Harp lager (brewed by Guinness) and got my appetite back in a couple of days.

Diagoe bought all the guiness and harps watch out they dont care about quality now
Marketing[edit]
For many years the slogan "Harp stays sharp" was used in advertisements. It was written by the advertising executive Rod Allen.[9] Recently it has used the slogan "Look on the Harp side".
Must have changed a little ingredient
Used to STAY SHARP now just LOOK SHARP

Only thing wrong with waiting 2 months is its too long.. You're into bereavement territory there.

As this is appears to be the BrewDog thread also, I just thought I would report that I happened to be in an Asda yesterday and they had an end of line clearance.
