The_Munchmaster Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 For anyone trying to calculate how much alcohol they are really drinking (in terms of recommended limits) this is a guide for calculating alcohol consumption, updated to reflect the trend towards larger measures and stronger alcoholic drinks, especially wine.

Julian2 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Is there some sort of point being made here? I'm on 76 units a week by this chart unless one assumes that a large bottle of beer is 750 mls and then it really goes pear shaped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Why does the chart use half pints? Does anyone actually drink half pints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaHunter Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Actually they should be calle Q's or 1/4 lts as they are know.... Me I call'em "Pocket Rockets" For those of you less ingenious I would like to point out that in one of my favorite pubs there seems to be lots of action in the Hong Nam duing the pre elelcetion and elelction days last month. No the girls wern;t giving free B.J.'s Twas he crafty gents acting as amature mixologists spiking up those cola's for them and their darlings. Shite, the wast basket was full of empty Q's.... BTw, I have two gentlemans flasks.... I know one lil BG who have a ltr bottle of SangSom in her purse.... Booze, once or occasionally twice a week and never Maow Mahk Mahk! Unites consumed, not many I'm a sexaholic not a drunk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Why does the chart use half pints? Does anyone actually drink half pints? Old Scottish men do. They often drink a half pint with a whisky. Commonly known as 'a half and a half'. But I don't suppose they're counting their units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Actually they should be calle Q's or 1/4 lts as they are know.... Me I call'em "Pocket Rockets" Actually a quart is more than a litre. I wish the Swedish pub owners would be made aware of this as they often call a half litre a pint. Personally I call this fraudulent practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Jack Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Bollocks. If only the recommended safe dose was 21 units [color:red]per day[/color], and not per week, I'd have been just about okay. So close, but yet so far. jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddy Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I would estimate my weekly intake at between 50 and 55 units. Almost 3 times the recommended allowance, however I would bet that I drink much less than many people on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
