7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

The guideline here is 3 standard drinks per day, more than that and you may be an alcoholic.
You can do the above within that limit.
PS:
I think you have a problem with your shift key, you may want to consider buying a new keyboard. it looks pretty stupid with the jumbled writing.
That's... insane. If you're drinking 3 alcoholic drinks per day you're not considered an alcoholic?? That seems like an extremely warped view of alcohol vs every other drug.
Please note this is a maximum! And it's STANDARD alcoholic drinks:
It's not insane, it's based on health impact, and probably the fact that 3 standard drinks don't create dependency.
1 standard drink is broken down in the body in about 1 hour.
This is according to Danish health authorities, 3 standard drinks for men and 2 for women per day on average is the max, it's recommended to not exceed that. But even at maller levels, the principles I stated in my first post remain the same.
That defines the daily drinker, but a person who only indulges occasionally, but always gets hammered on those occasions, has a serious problem with alcohol as well. That's a person who can't control it, and lack of control is a problem.
Yes I agree, you can get drunk some times without being an alcoholic, but if you get hammered drunk so you don't know what you're doing, then you obviously have a problem.
I never understood why some people find it funny, when they get so drunk they can't remember anything the day after???
I work a lot of college events for my job, and recently had two girls in front of me, and one said to the other "Dude, I'm gonna get you so blackout drunk this weekend!"
I did a lot of drinking in college, too, but i never wanted to get blackout drunk, and I'm a guy. Who would take care of me, make sure i was safe? The others around me who are also drinking hard? It's a thousand times more dangerous for a girl.
