    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.

      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.

      Will Rogers never met me.

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

          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.

                                not probably, entirely surely - Carlo is one of the kindest CPian around.
