Title: The wife!!!!
Post by: bricey on 31 August 2011, 19:30
now,she thinks i drink to much........??!!!
everyday unless i get pint tinys from work,i drink 400ml can of fosters every night.4cans max.
if it was pint tinys it be the same :laugh:
now she has been banging on"your not a nice person when u/ur drunk etc etc.
i work pretty hard during the day and think i deserve a few.
baring in mind drinking 4 400ml can is only just over the national guidline allowance etc
she says i need to cut down but i dont see a problem with it...............

Old chestnut this and pretty much unwinable, i once did a comparison on what my wife spends on cosmetics/clothes/shoes/handbags and cigarettes for that matter (she smokes , i don't) and i should be a millionaire by now, and i've never seen anyone get drunk on fosters, is it even possible? :laugh:

1 its foster
2 its out of a can

switch to a few bottles of stella a night and show her
your not a nice person when u/ur drunk etc etc.
:grin: :grin:

seriously though, i dont see a problem with it, to me ide say its alot when added up, but i never drink on a week night.

only on the weekends when i have a night out, if i dont go out ill maybe have 2 bottles of stella with a meal on fri/sat night

im not saying i get drunk at all,she says when ur drunk ur an ass hole,
my arguement is that i dont see a problem in drinking what i do near or nough each day.
oh and foster is the nicest tasting larger there is apart from Amstel.

1600ml... whats that... about 6 units a day?

3 x 500ml = 6 units, 510 calories

6 units
Harm level: Increasing Risk
Men should not regularly exceed 3–4 units per day
510 calories
This is equivalent to 2 burgers
Exercise needed to burn: 42 minute run

don't believe me? I just looked this up on http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/tips-and-tools/drink-diary/ (http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/tips-and-tools/drink-diary/)

your call

What Chuff and Guy have pointed out + what you are telling us your missus thinks, which she's telling you for a reason (wants you to stop, perhaps?) + you shouldn't need or deserve 4 drinks after work that's what you get paid for doing - if it's not worth doing and you feel you need to drink after a shift maybe find a new job that you're happier doing?

This.

Go for a week, go for a month.  It's only a drug, it's not like you're becoming a low-grade daily alcoholic now, is it?

Ask yourself why you need a drink to unwind & relax ??? This is a big ask  :grin: As DH says try it for a week ?

I think they are.

No one ever 'deserved' a drink for those reasons.

Because if you're relying on the drink to relax and unwind then you're getting ready for excuses for being a grumpy git when you happen not to have any beer in the house.
