    Question How much drinking is too much?

    Tonight was my sixth night out in a row. Should I go for a week solid tomorrow?

    Btw, I apologize for having to post under this login. Ming banned NGR because he's a pathetic d-bag who'd rather permaban well-behaved Chinese posters than actually deal effectively with the abuses of moderators that he's responsible for...

    Back when I drank heavily I saw nothing wrong with a week solid, as long as they weren't all binge drinking nights.

    As it is, I would worry about your work/schooling/health... it is the reason why I cut way back.

    The big problem is that NYC bars close at 4 and I tend to stay out until then. Getting home at 2am (like tonight) is early...

    this is a confusing statement to interperet correctly.

    Which moderators is Ming responsible for abusing?

    Rah, obviously. I've heard rumors of others, but would prefer to have confirmation before I broadcast allegations of sexual misconduct.

    Hundreds of posts with NGR over the past three years vs one post with Drake means I "selected" Drake?

    Drake is dead, and you're the one who killed him. Bring back NGR...

    "How much drinking is too much?"

    When the prospect of not getting your next drink fills you with some kind of dread. You make excuses why one more drink will be ok. Your hands start to shake. You die of liver failure.

    Nice job AAHZ.

    That was another thing, when I drank heavily I spent way too much money. Of course, it was pretty usual for me to blow 100$ in a night (if I was at a club, I tried to restrain myself on std bar nights).

    You only saved a hundred dollars after five weeks of sobriety?

    I wonder how your body handles it. Most alcohol is swill. Personally, it's tough for me to drink two nights straight.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

    In my experiance nothing good happens at the bar after 2:00, by then its time to head back to the house for the after party.

    yeah in my experience your body can get used to most things. stuff that used to mess you up for days can become everyday and your body (and mind) will adapt, which is not always a good thing.

    6 days? it depends on how much you're drinking in each session. 6 days having a few beers is nothing. 6 days getting completely smashed is a very different proposition. when i was in uni, we used to spend the first two weeks of each year getting wrecked every day and night, good times. couldn't do that today, wouldn't want to try.

    Isn't every night STD bar night?
