I like scotch, and bourbon, and have a drink on a Friday evening, maybe a
Saturday too. Just a couple.
Some of you lot seem to drink whisky all the time, judging from the content
of your posts.
How much do you consume, and how often ?

0 - 6 shots a week or so. Usually Thursday, Friday and/or Saturday
evening. I suspect that most of us that love scotch savor the good
stuff and do not guzzle. I also suspect that we talk a lot more than
we drink.

We have at least one small dram every evening while
reading, before going up to bed. Often we have two.

I drink about 20 Oz. a day. Mostly Vodka with either coffee or Diet Cola.
After dinner I'll have a wee dram of Scotch. On the weekends, I'll also
have a Bourbon in the afternoon. I've been drinking at this level for 55
years.

At my peak, it was about three to four units (150 - 200ml total) of "the
good stuff" per day -- unless I was having wine with dinner, in which
case I might have just a sip.
Years and liver enzymes have convinced me that this is an unsustainable
level, and teeters uncomfortably close to dependency (try staying over
night in a "dry" county and see if your sympathetic nervous system rebels
-- if you need benzodiazapines to sleep, you have a problem.)
I've pulled that shit together, and probably have alcohol, of all forms,
no more than four times per week, and no more than two servings at an eve.

I'm not going to call it heresy. I'm going to ask you for a citation
from a reasonable authority that this is so.

Hello Mr. Van,
Perhaps a chemist can step in at this point. I do not have a PhD in
chemistry, but I can do some BOTECs.
A couple of leaders:
The MSDS (Materials Safety Data Sheet) citation of the LD50 of pure
phenol in vivo, murine: 630 mg/kg ( http:/avogadro.chem.iastate.edu/MSDS/
phenol.htm)
Assume a 70kg man, and extrapolate from mouse studies. LD50 (dosage at
which 50%% of individuals die) would be 44 grams.

I find Guinness Stout to make an excellent chaser.
