eco wrote:Some kid claimed thats what he culd drink before he had problems.. my point is, you PROBABLY (this applies to 95%, maybe just not you) don't drink 1 beer at a party. That's my limit before I lose control yes, but that doesn't mean its moderation. Obviously at 19 beers I'm not going to do things like go driving or try to ride a bike or something, but what I'm saying is that for me when I hit 19 beers I'm still in control of my basic motor skills (I can walk without stumbling, talk without slurring, and I'm aware of my surroundings). And even if you drank a 6 pack at a party, if you're an average student, you probably won't be going to more than 3 parties a week at the most so that's 18 beers a week roughly. If you do this 24/7/365 then obviously you'll begin to experience some issues, but obviously the majority of people in university aren't overdrinking since they have studies, ECs, jobs etc. that take up large amounts of time. When they party obviously they are going to let loose a bit.

As for 3 drinks a day being reccomended... I'd suggest looking for contradictory studies which inlude all the problems associated with drinking and are not so tipped towards benifits.
I would say though, that's mighty irrespponsible of them.

I would say though, that's mighty irrespponsible of them. There are no problems associated with drinking 3 drinks a day. That's the whole point. It is beneficial to your health, as NUMEROUS studies have shown. How is presenting factual, real information irresponsible? Being irresponsible is saying that drinking is bad no matter what when that is not the case at all. You were brought up to think that drinking and drugs are evil. This is a tactic that has been used by the government for decades for a variety of reasons, but it is far from factual. Don't believe everything that you are taught. Do your own research and find the real answers.

It's not really. The studies don't adress short term affects of alcohol. And they are too short to adress the long term) by the looks of it. Also, I'd question the validity of a 200,000 person study as this MUST be on more of a questionaire basis than a clinical one.. I think that wuld be too hard, but maybe I'm wrong.

Do you not think scientists know what they're doing? There are many studies that show this relationship. Some have been going on for more than 50 years. Quote:The medical studies establishing this relationship are large (some include over 200,000 people), cross-cultural (have been conducted in countries around the world), and are sometimes long-term (the longest beginning in 1948 and continuing to this day). I don't get why you think that these scientists have no clue what they're doing and that 50 years of research is all tainted. Then you say they don't address the short-term effects of alcohlol but they're too short to address the long-term? What are you talking about?

They completely ignore short term. They don't take into accont imbalance, which is the biggest killer associated with alcohol I could conceive.
Don't you get it?
3 a day, like in the survey, over more than their studys, will screw u up (another mistake), but not that bad most likely.
HOWEVER, if you drink that week's 21 beers in a night each week, you are liable to die on any of those nights from some accident, or directly from the alcohol.
See it?

^ No one is going to disagree with you about the 21 beers in one night, but you are wrong about the 3 drinks per night (although I do think that is a little high [1-2 seems about right, depending on the person and alcohol content of the drink], but what do I know?). Call it naive, but I trust---with blissful ignorance of university message board criticisms---what is said in peer-reviewed journal articles.

See it? Nobody is saying to drink 21 drinks in one night. The studies show that moderate drinking is beneficial. You will not be "drunk" from 3 drinks over the course of a day. You actually think "imbalance" is the biggest killer associated with alcohol? hahahah

The point is, you're fine for, 3 drinks, 3 hours apart, in a day, or whatever. However, if you mess up the balance of that week, and drink all that alcohol in one night (and not the other 6 days), thats how alcohol kills you (short term). Of course, this would also be the biggest cause of long term ilness, because the shock is so hard for your body to handle. This whole thing started in defence of what I call "party drinking" which is (and you know this is true), what everyone means when they post here. We aren't talking spaced out drinking here. The studies are. Thats the issue I've repeated countless times.
