How much do you drink each week?

Farg off, i am telling the truth bitch.

If you were drinking throughout the day, that's believable.  If you're claiming you did that in a short period of time, I don't believe you either.

He was talking about me not acting like an idiot, and it was throughout the day.  If I consumed that much booze in a short period I would probably be in the hospital.

Went out and shot some pool last night with a few friends.  I hate going to most bars around here because very few serve Maker's, including the one we were going to.  So I order a Crown and Coke and come back for another about 20 minutes later.  But they were out of Crown.  Apparently I had ordered the last bit of it they had in the entire bar.  So I order Jack and Coke.  Outta Jack too.  And outta Jim.  The bar had no whiskey left.  How the hell does a bar run out of whiskey?  This was worse than the time I stopped by a local Mikey D's and they told me they were out of cheeseburgers. 

So I ended up drinking 1 Crown and Coke last night followed up by 3 or 4 plain cokes.  I could have moved on to vodka or something but I simply didn't feel like dumping any more money into a bar that runs out of whiskey and doesn't replenish their stock.  You care.

No whiskey of any kind? Whose basement were you in, anyway?

[T_Section224]

what a dump of a bar that runs out of whiskey.

Has anyone ever heard Denis Leary's routine about bars in New York? 

His ideal bar (called McLeary's, btw) would sell nothing but beer, donuts, coffee, cigarettes & whiskey.  Additionally, he would have nothing but Rolling Stones music playing 24/7.

Sounds good to me.

Damn yuppies 

I think I drank every night, either 1 or 12 + drinks, since Thanksgiving.  Its catching up to me now. I'm trying to stay away from alcohol until x-mas.  Although I think thats impossible...

Brain can repair alcohol's damage

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Excessive drinking can damage brain cells but the brain can repair some of the harm, a team of international researchers said on Monday.

But they warned that alcoholics should get sober as quickly as possible because the longer they continue to drink heavily, the less likely their brains will be able to regenerate.

"The core message from this study is that, for alcoholics, abstinence pays off and enables the brain to regain some substance and to perform better," said Dr Andreas Bartsch, of the University of Wuerzburg, in Germany.

Slurred speech, blurred vision and an inability to walk without swaying can occur after a few drinks but chronic alcohol abuse can cause more lasting damage and poor general health.

Research in animals has shown that alcohol can disrupt the development of new brain cells in adults. Heavy drinking during pregnancy can also affect the development of the baby's brain.

Bartsch and scientists from Germany, Britain, Switzerland and Italy uncovered the brain's regenerative ability by measuring the volume, form and function of the brains of 15 alcoholic men and women before and after they stopped drinking to see how much they changed over seven weeks.

Using sophisticated scanning techniques they showed that after 38 days without a drink the brain volume of the patients increased by an average of nearly 2 percent.

"Only the one patient with the longest history of alcohol dependence had a slightly reduced brain volume," said Bartsch, whose findings are reported online by the journal Brain.

The volunteers also performed better in concentration and attention test and had higher levels of chemicals linked to brain cell function.

All of the patients had stopped drinking without medication.

"The human brain, and particularly its white matter, seems to possess genuine capabilities for re-growth," Bartsch said.
