Is it better to be Guy A who drinks 5 or 6 nights a week but doesn't binge drink. He just likes his 4 beers a day or a drink or two at night.

Or is Guy B better who doesn't drink during the week but he'll binge drink fairly hard on weekends.

I guess its a consistency vs severity question.

I would think A since he isnt getting wasted and wont make stupid decisions. Plus I am sure your body can process it better.

Healthier? As in which one is tougher on the body? I'd think the daily drinker is better than binge drinking.



or you can cover all your bases and drink daily while binge drinking all weekend or binge drink every night.

What's worse a social smoker (Friday and Saturday night) or a daily smoker?

Not sure that's a fair apples to apples comparison. Doesn't binge drinking have a WAY worse effect on your kidney functions over time vs moderation drinking?

Yeah, but you could say the same about tobacco, no?

What about having 1 glass of red wine or scotch every weeknight after dinner AND binge drinking on the weekends.

I limit weeknights to 1, but usually go hard in the paint on Saturdays and occasionally Fridays as well.

yes, but the OP is qualifying the weekend drinking as binge drinking, no? So i would think hammering your kidneys 2-3 days a week would be worse than a couple of drinks every day.

Four drinks a day is a lot brother.

ETA: And what is this kidney talk? It's your liver that is doing the work.

yes.

Made differently, tastes much different.

If I've had a shitty day I'll give myself 3 fingers of Macallan 12. Good day I'll usually stick to a glass of red wine.

I drink a glass of bourbon at night during the week while i read. I feel great every day.

Getting hammered is fricking terrible. You can feel it in every part of your body.

So i'll be guy A.

I do the crosswords with my scotch and some tunes playing in the background on low. This is after the woman has gone to bed usually. My equivalent of my happy place (besides golf course).

It's on the upper end, for sure. Most research I see says 2-3/day is okay for males. 1-2/day for females.
