There may be a slight problem

I learned recently that I hate the feeling of being drunk.  Buzzed, fine...drunk, NO. Hungover? HELL NO.

I realised I was drinking about 20 units in a night, once a week. Now down to 6 and it feels almost the same with an easier hangover. Just as much fun with less chance of dying in a really boring way.

Yep.

I swear, I've done more drinking in the past year than I have in my entire life up to this point. 

Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I wouldn't brag about it. Just sayin'.

Re: OP

I thought that was supposed to be a daily MINIMUM for maintaining a Scottish metabolism

Problem with scottish metabolism is it's only supposed to last you to your mid 30's

Then the haggis just collects just above your kilt?

No, generally it's liver failure and/or coronary thrombosis

There are so many conventions out there for measuring binge drinking that after awhile, it becomes pretty meaningless.  For an adult person, the more important thing is whether or not their pattern of drinking is negatively impacting their life.  Socially, physically, etc.  

Yeah. I call this the "does it make you feel ooky?" guideline.

It's a divorce thing. Trust me. I'm the resident expert on divorce.

You bet.  I've learned to pay attention to that, "what the fuck am I doing?" feeling.

Okay so I have 14 tins of fosters in the fridge. I'll drink half tonite then half tomorrow then I'll see how I get on with a couple of nights dry until the weekend

It gets confusing when you get older and things that TOTALLY DID NOT MAKE YOU FEEL OOKY five years ago make you feel a bit like you want to die the next day. For me, it took a while to adjust my behavior down. Like, having four drinks last night at the show. I even made sure to drink a whole pint of water in between each. Still, that shit's a no-go for me these days. And that was whiskey... if I'd had four beers I wouldn't be on the computer right now, I'd be on the toilet crying.
