    well according to the doctors, more than two drinks a day on a regular basis is not good for you. sorry, no link, that's off the top of my alcohol-addled head.

    Great question Lucki! When I go out drinking with friends usually all I need is 2/3 drinks (no more or I can't walk)- I take mine straight to the head so it gets me there pretty quick.

    I know better than to do that at work- but I notice my tolerance has been getting higher. I buy the Sauza tequila in those small/medium bottles usually behind the counter (cost about 10/11 bucks)- I use the whole bottle in two nights...is that too much?

    Pleasure: Drinking every night is not good for your liver, particularly if you are drinking to get addled, not just having a small glass of wine with dinner. It also creates some bad conditions for dependency.

    A drink (for smaller/more sensitive people) or two a night is probably OK. Keep in mind that "a drink" = 12 oz beer, 4 oz wine or 1 oz hard liquor. Many cocktails are actually two or three drinks (if not more), and wine at most restaurants and bars is actually 1.5 or more drinks.

    Thanks for the info Chloe- how about 4 shots...that's my limit- I don't bother with mixed drinks anymore since I have no idea how to mix them and I'm sure getting them from the bar means they are watered down.

    everyone talks about drinking more than 2 or 3 times a week is alcoholism....i think it's when you MUST drink every night.....it's all about CONTROL!!!!

    your tolerance depends ALOT on what you eat!!!!
    If i have only a salad in me, a few drinks will get me REAL TIPSY!!!!
    also the more you drink, the more your body learns to deal with it!!

    vivaItalia...i agree with you too, but at the same time alcohol is bad for your body if u drink too much. so really, just because your tolerance is high doesnt mean the alcohol still isnt affecting your body. my tolerance is extremely high because i drink alot, but i also have occasional kidney trouble, im always tired, and i get depressed easy. tolerance really doesnt have alot to do with how drinking affects your body. so, i was wondering the limit health-wise to drink because i am trieng to cut myself down to that level.

    Nah...You just have a high tolerance. I'm sure you will get some shit from others on this.

    well anytime that you binge drink it's bad for you...binge drinking is anything over 2 drinks....I'm sure that alot of us drink more than that when we're partying

    when i said "your body learns to deal with it" i didn't mean it stops being bad for you....you just dont notice the effects (building up your tolerance)...which can be harmful for you since you need to drink more and more to feel the same effects that you used to feel off of 2 or 3 drinks

    There's other factors that go into your tolerance...weight, gender, basically just person to person varies...

    no it's not bad that you can drink a bottle of wine....wine and champagne both make me really tipsy but I can drink Jaager all night long and not feel it...to each his own

    Basically, if you have to ask yourself whether you are drinking too much, then you probably know the answer already.

    But, like the others said, 2 drinks per night or less is Not too much.
