Do you think drinking a 6 pack of beer a day is unhealthy? Poll

I drink because I'm in pain from a curved spine and anxiety. I'm always in constant pain from my back. But opiates do nothing for me, except make me sick. Opiates only get me high, but alcohol actually helps me relax, keep calm and helps me sleep. For those three factors alone, It's hard for me to deny the benefits.

Its usually these reasons people start using medical marijuana. Alcohol is just too poisonous to the body to use it for medical reasons like you are claiming. It's probably just as bad as the opiates are for you. You need to stop drinking and find a strain of weed that will help you combat the symptoms of pain and anxiety.

Just my two cents of course.

I drink way more than a six pack a day.

Thanksgiving will be a year sober for me. Alcohol that as. I was hard core. I chased vodka with milk at times. If my eyes were open. I was drinking. 3 years that went on. I'd get so drunk I'd wake up in the woods with a camp fire that's went out and sausages on sticks that WERE roasting. I was a dick on alcohol. But it's one day at a time for me.

Congrats on your upcoming anniversary ! With that being said I believe I've seen you and your sausages on a stick in my neighborhood all joking aside. I was a big vodka drinker and also a dick and after multiple episodes of doing shit that I didn't remember. I knew it was time to sober up and give up the loose juice.

ODanksta I am so sorry to hear this, drinking for chronic pain relief creates problems in the long term. I feel like I'm in a constant arms race against pain and I have a hard time finding the constantly shifting balance point between enough pain relief and smoking myself silly too.

With spinal problems one of the most important things you can do is to increase your core strength. Basketball while fun won't do that, so yes do basketball but also start working on your core, google Paraspinous muscle exercises. Do them! You don't need a gym just work on those.

Have you tried edibles? I keep edibles on board and supplement with smoke/vape it replaced 120 mg morphine sulphate a day, with better result. If I'm not taking a whacking dose to try to stop a supraventricular tachycardia they don't have much effect on my head.

I wish I could get you some of the GG #4 edible I'm using. It has zero head effect and ameliorates the neuropathic pain better than any opiate I've ever taken. If you get to California I would LOVE to meet you.
hugs,
Annie
PS If you are asking the question you already know the answer.

How is 30 to old for a gym membership wtf? It'd good to take care of yourself at any age.

Don't be a pussy. People drink a lot more than that and are fine. You're a big boy, you've got a larger than avg liver.

Smoking weed is more unhealthy than drinking alcohol anyway, your lungs were never created to inhale anything but air, your esophagus and stomach can handle liquids just fine. Maybe not your kidneys or liver, but you can't live your life worrying about what you eat or drink- if you do you'll be worrying at least 3 times a day- now worrying is unhealthy. We're all going to die, either at a school shooting or from cancer- at least enjoy your life while you live it. Stay off the hard stuff and up your intake to 8-12 a day.

Smoking weed is healthier than drinking alcohol. ..it is a known fact that cannabis has never been the cause of any deaths. .yet alcohol is the major cause in many.


Alcohol poisons ur body...seriously open a book before u post .hello liver failure is the biggest issue amongst alcoholics...

Damn im ready for a beer now.

I am a big ass dude, I weigh 250 and I am 6'5. I'm not fat at all, but nor am In perfect health. I used to be very athletic, but now I'm 30. I really want to buy a gym membership but I'm afraid I'm just too damn lazy. I got a couple friends asking me from work to play basketball with them, and I am about to.

But even working out and being active. I don't feel a 6 pack a day is too much. My girl doesn't claim to drink "but she will if it's hard liquor" which I don't really like because I feel like an alcoholic.. Regardless she hates me drinking, but I think she just needs something to complain about. Because I do 95% of the household chores.

What's your opinions?

After years of a twelve pack I graduated to a case. Then just said eff it and started drinking whiskey. Got to the point where I wouldn't even by a fifth anymore. It would take at least a liter. I eventually just started buying half gallons. More than once I only left a finger or two in the bottom of a half gallon. Talk about hurting the next day. Wow, I mean spent the whole next day not shaking, but trembling. Till I started drinking again. I didn't even bother with a glass after a while. Bottoms up I could chug that shit. 5 years ago I did that every single day. I'm down to weekends only. Not because I put an effort into slowing down. Just because I don't want to be fucked up all the time anymore. I come from a long line of drinkers. My grandfather lived in a dry county. He was known to drink cooking sherry. My dad talks about my other grandfather who I didn't know. Said he drank 24/7. Uncles, my mom. Dad didn't drink much. Just wasn't his thing but, died at only 62. He had heart, cardiovascular issues and had an aneurism that finally took him out. I don't know man. I'm just under 6' and run about 200 now. A little pudgy but was about 180 and thin when I was chugging half gallons. Bad habits. I don't condone my own. Nor do I pretend they are accomplishing. They are faults for sure. Good thread man.

Its how you drink the sixer: most folks do it in an hour or 2, unhealthy. If you drank it over a period of 12 or more hrs/day, not unhealthy

Well I was kidding- take a fucking joke and relax before you post.

And anyone who thinks that inhaling smoke into their lungs isn't unhealthy is a dumb shit. Lung cancer from weed smokers will be a much more common thing in the upcoming years. Because it's considered a medicine doesn't make it "healthy." The majority of it is taken by inhalation through smoke.

Oh and I almost forgot to add, fuck yourself pickle smoocher. I used to like you until your bullshit I just read. Take a breather and take things less serious ya fuckin uptight wing nut.

I have a friend who would get real bad anxiety and have trouble sleeping so he would drink because it helped him calm down and pass out but after a while he was drinking too much and alcohol withdrawls, hang overs, and alcohol tolerance was making his anxiety worse. He got some low dose zanex and says that made things a lot better.

6 beers isn't too much, sounds about right. If you do start working out you probably won't feel like drinking as much.

Don't tell me to read a book when I was joking around. It was pretty obvious to everyone else I was kidding, guess you're just a bit slow on the uptake. Maybe just stoned? If you want to post medical advice, there's a section on RIU for it. In case you can't read yourself this was posted in toke and talk, not one of the several medical forums so you have to know I was kidding.

You're rude for telling me to read a book when you're the one who didn't read it was posted in T&T and not medical.

Oh and you're informed....? In what, medical weed? What do they have, under a decade of studies? Doesn't take a genious to realize that a lot more studies have to be done before they can start making claims that it kills cancer cells. Lol, keep flying yer stoner flag, weed heals all! Weed is the answer, man! Everyone should be like Chong, bro!

Don't quote my posts if you don't want me to reply to you. It's simple really.

Thanks darling. Will do. Learn to take a joke before you out of nowhere criticize someone and tell them to read a book. I wouldn't recommend someone drinks 12 beers a day if it wasn't T&T. Sorry I got my panties bunched up but you kinda attacked me when I was just fuckin around.

6 beers is not enough.
