Binge drinking has horrible effects on the body. The average person can have Half a glass of wine and show health improvements, but one weekend of drowning the liver in alcohol can be terribly destructive. Binge drinking can even turn into alcohol poisoning this is most common in just one session. \nLong term, a remarkable amount of alcoholics, spend the entire week with out a single drink ,and come the weekend blow their whole pay check on alcohol. \nAlso in periods of drinking like this, people are more likely to find them selves driving while intoxicated, performing risky sexual behavior, fighting, domestic abuse, and trying things most people wold just find stupid had they not been as intoxicated.

Just another Nanny Culture scam!  The beaurocrats have decreed that we should be told, through advertisements that are costing someone, probably taxpayers, that alcohol and tobacco are bad for us.  I believe it is done through the taxes on the alcohol and tobacco.  Anyway, a bunch of advertising execs have gotten a lot of money, some models and photographers, and what have you got?  In-your-face ads that things you already know are hazardous and must be used in moderation are bad for you.  I don't smoke tobacco and I seldom drink alcohol, but do you believe any of this has been influenced by those idiot ads?

Most professionals would answer yes, IF one meets other criteria.  Obviously quantity of alcohol consumption, frequency, and other deeper psychological factors (what triggers the drinking, impact on relationships, etc).  \nBasically if alcohol is interfering with a "normal" lifestyle (which mind you, is subjective) then you're probably an alcoholic.

Lots of stuff.  Alcohol is a poison --if you drink enough.  It dehydrates you , so i imagine the brain is also dehydrated.  i understand that heavy drinking can kill brain cells, but i don't know how much that source considered to be "heavy."

One small glass of red wine a day is supposed to be good for you. It has iron and antioxidants in it, which are good for your heart.

I had heard the equivalent of 1 beer an hour, on average.  Everyone's different and change over time.

count your calories and see how much your alcoholic beverage takes up.  some alcholic drinks are lighter than others.  Either way your daily intake should be about 1800 calories at 56.  if you can't fit your alcohol into that than you need to try to save some calories from other meals so you can at least have a drink or two!

I know alot of people who do a shot a day, and they claim that it is the cure for everything.  I myself get so sick after one shot, that I can barley do one a week.  I might have an allergic reaction or something though.  If you can, it is perfectly safe to do 1 oz. per day.

Just off the top of my head:\nYour dealing with statistics and women have such small numbers compared to men drinking like this. Also women are usually smarter than to drink themselves to poor health as men do, people find it curious. A curious human will ask these questions to you.\nLastly men are really not needed so no one cares, but women are important to keeping humans on this planet, and one that drinks may impair her children's health.\nBeing 2006 women better be able to do whatever men can do, it's just that only 37 years (1969) has past when big changes happened in America, and many still have to catch up mentally to this.\nAlso men drinking so much is NOT how real men live; they focus on their family first, then drink responsibly, never to excess.

In health care we refer to a quick survey called the CAGE questions.\n\nCAGE Questions\n\n1. Cut\n   Ever felt you ought to cut down on your drinking?\n2. Annoyed\n   Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?\n3. Guilt\n   Ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?\n4. Eye Opener\n   Ever had an eye-opener to steady nerves in the AM?\n\nIf someone answers yes to two of them, then there's a strong indication they have a drinking problem. The more 'yes' the more likely you have a problem.

Anything high in iron helps to build red blood cells, but does nothing for blood pressure. Potassium can help lower blood pressure, but I have no idea if Guinness has a lot of potassium. She could get the same results with vegetables or vitamins, so it is probably an excuse. Nothing is wrong with drinking one beer a day, though. In fact, doctors now say that ONE alcoholic beverage per day can help prevent heart attacks in the same way aspirin does, by thinning the blood. However, more than ONE per day can be detrimental to a person's health. If she is having one a day, I wouldn't worry about it.

There is conflicting information and opinions on whether or not a modest amount of alchol consumption is good or bad for you. You might enter into Google something like this: alcohol consumption+health and see what you get.

Yes, without a problem!  Alcohol metabolizes in the body at the rate of about 1 drink per hour, so about 4 hours after your last drink there should be little or no alcohol left in your system. (by a standard breathalyzer test)

As far as I know, it should help. Very healthy to drink.

I believe it's one gallon a day for each person.Half for drinking, half for hygiene.
