    Good job, Christian! I go through a lot of scotch, but so far my liver is being a trooper. But then, I'm not in the 20 drinks per night class; more like 5 or 6.

    Yeah I had a rough few years. But I'm autistic so I just do what I want to do, it's not complicated :)

      So my wife wanted to leave me 3 years ago. For over a year I drank about 20 standard drinks a night. Recently it's been 3-5, one cocktail while I cook, one with dinner and one in the evening. I went to the GP and he told me I have 70% kidney function and my liver is waving a white flag. So I just gave up, that day. I'll still have the odd cocktail when I take my wife to dinner, but that's it.

      I remember a college friend that wanted to drink 24 cans of beer every 24 hours for Spring Break. Yes, he looked like a mess on day 3. He also ended up flunking out of college. :-D

                Good job, you're liver will appreciate it. About 10 years ago I saw the light and gave up smoking, drinking and chasing fat woman. So far so good!

                  Good on you if you have the ability to do just that. I wish I could convince a certain brother-in-law of mine to do the same.

                      My post was an, admittedly silly, attempt at humour. Since it was a while ago and Christian has completely recovered, I supposed it was innocuous.

                          Fair enough. Tone never gets communicated very well over plain text. To me, it came across, probably way harsher than you ever intended.
