Will Drinking Alcohol On Holiday For 10 Days Damage My Health

[cyprus2012]

I'm 23 years of age don't drink very often I run 4 times a week and eat really healthy. But will this holiday of binge drinking most days out if 10 affect my health long term or not?

[woofgang]

hw much alcohol every day?

[sandyRoe]

The great danger for non drinkers who have a few too many is having an accident.
It shouldn't do you health any harm, otherwise.

[woofgang]

btw, running and eating healthily won't help!

[cyprus2012]

Not really sure to be honest say I will have done nights off as I'm health conscious but probably things like shots and 5-6 pints?

[Mick-the-Miller]

It's what you do when you're 23 - enjoy it!

[factor-fiction]

If you cut out the shots and reduce it to 3 pints a night it'd be better.

[cyprus2012]

I know but I worry abit too much about my health at times like getting heart disease or liver problems etc would it take years of drinking to cause health problems?

[sandyRoe]

To harm your health you'd need to be drinking regularly and fairly heavily. A few too many occasionally shouldn't do any harm.

[woofgang]

no, not years. Why do you want to binge drink?

[kvalidir]

A ot of people I know drink to excess on holiday and they seem not to have suffered any ill effects long term yet.

[Prudie]

What with worrying about your API being incorrect this looks like your holiday is stressing you in general. You don't have to binge drink if you don't feel like it.

When a person has alcohol poisoning they have consumed a toxic amount of alcohol, usually over a short period. Their blood alcohol level is so high it is considered toxic (poisonous). The patient can become extremely confused, unresponsive, disoriented, have shallow breathing, and can even pass out or go into a coma. Alcohol poisoning can be life-threatening and usually requires urgent medical treatment.


Your choice.....

[sandyRoe]

I agree.^ People doing something silly like trying to down an entire bottle of vodka in one go are asking for trouble. But even having a lot spread over an evening, or a few consecutive evenings, shouldn't do permanent harm.
Speaking from experience there ^

You'll need to take a break to go to the loo.

So, can you list any benefits of binge drinking... increased charming manner, better motor skills, etc.? Didn't think so... One source says "...Most of the college students engaging in binge drinking are still at a vulnerable stage of brain development, which can last through age 21 to age 25.. This puts them at greater risk for the toxicities and consequences of drinking. This is in addition to the direct effects of alcohol on judgment and loss of control. The high of binge drinking now can lead to a more dangerous, unhealthy path in the future. It can even be lethal..." The really off-putting results of binge drinking though, is it inhibits the gag-reflex, which is why those that pass out from such activity are vulnerable to inhaling and dieing on their own vomit... Having helped pickup such victims, it's not a very pretty site... but one you could describe to your grandchildren, I suppose... (that along with urinating on themselves).

Good luck!

If you don't want to drink on holiday then don't. I used to hate how drinking made me feel so I stopped.

Whatever you do try and relax and enjoy your holiday. Remember to visit us when you get back and tell us how you got on.

What a load of Bollix !
Get a life lad and stop asking stupid questions

[Robinia]

I agree with all the others re accidents etc. Are you going abroad? If you have an accident or make yourself really I'll it could cost you a fortune.

*ill....predictive text!

Not sure which part of the advice is Bollix read - but my advice is, relax, kick back and enjoy.

A fair few drinks will do no harm but not to the extent you bare you behind on the town hall square and get arrested or fall off a balcony in a stupor etc

Keep up other fluid levels too if you are somewhere hot and have good time.

Plastered every night will mean bad head every morning and all too soon the holiday is gone, have a good time.
