New health guidelines are coming out soon:

www.smh.com.au/national/shock-alcohol-warning-from-nations-top-health-body-20080615-gdshz7.html

I always thought if you drank twelve or fifteen beers in one session or a couple of bottles of spirits in a session then that was taking it a bit much; but thats a fair bit different to four.

If you have been working hard in hot weather all day then you need three beers to cool you down and at least five to feel relaxed. There is a reason why beer is sold in divisions of six, because a hard working man needs six beers at the end of the day. If he can't drink six he may as well not drink anything.

Making the guidelines the same for men and women is not right either.

When "they" stuff around with the definitions like that ,ie binge drinker, they lessen the impact of the word. If four pots is a "binge" WTF is a bottle of bourbon ????

Self help? Take some moisturiser and lock the toilet door?
Theres nothing wrong with 2am endo pissy comps. Just watch out for the handle bars taking out your nuts on the way over... Ive done this before I blamed the gnome sucking the bong. It was his fault
Btw I was only joking
