For those of you who drink, what is the ONE thing you'd rather have instead of alcohol if offered at a party or social gathering? Me -- cheese...i must have been a mouse in a prior life...
I drink only on special occasions
Devlin Dennis Great - the less the better!

I stick to 1 to 2 drinks a night. Maybe 3 to 4 times a week usually closer to 2 or 3. On the weekends, like once or twice a month I might drink more one night like 5 or 6 beers or 4 glasses of wine with a shot or 2 at a party. If I drink whiskey I usually sip it neat as a dpubble shot only 1. I think I do alright I also have weeks here and there where I dont drink at all or just don't have the desire. Thanks for the video!
Ran here after being called an "alarmist" and "worst kind of gate keeper" for giving this very information in a post on a mommy group on fb. ha! It is crazy how little this information is known, that people are shocked to learn that a standard pour for a glass of wine is 5 oz. (and believe that this is up for debate when looking at the research around problematic drinking), and how people will fight tooth an nail to convince others and themselves that they do not have a problem. You explained this with much more grace. Taking notes so that it may be better received next time.
drinking 3-4 beers twice a week (I have 209 lbs) makes me feel fine and relaxed however drinking above this amount affect my energy level next day. Before I was drinking more often but I cut down
I don't drink everydays or every weeks. But when i drink with friend once in a while, i drink a lil too much i think. Is that still could cause problems? please. Thanks.
Thank goodness I never drank a drop of alcohol beverage in my entire life and will never do. I am not missing nothing. It is better to keep my brain fully functioning.
Definitely the healthier route to avoid :)
@@MajdMD Ah, so I should avoid the healthier route. Good to know, I will now have 30 drinks. 😈
Thank you I'm good at one to two max per every three days
I'm a party drinker and drink alcohol only on parties without exception. Even there I keep my limit. I drink so much that I have fun, but neither throw up nor have a hangover the next day
About 3 years ago I was picked up for trucking this early in the Florence Oregon taking to the hospital at 86 put alcohol level and then they wouldn't release me to the detox till I was 50 and I got released next morning at 26 oh yeah sad
Can a human being drink absolute alcohol or 100% concentration alcohol.... as per medication limitation what percentage of alcohol concentration is consumable by human beings ?
i drink a case of beer a day (30 beers) im sure im fucked
If your still drinking like that think about going to rehab there is literally no shame in it and it could save your life
Hey you alive?
@@Sean-tz6cm yessir
@@rickfart5533 have you been able to check out your liver health?
Why do you drink so much sir
Love the Video! Just wanted to add a few things. Medical/physical problems from alcohol also includes inflammation in the skin and joints which effects how you look as well as your ability to exercise. And also gut health as alcohol acidity can harm a healthy gut biome. As far as standards drinks go, a 12 oz beer has to be 5% alcohol (equates to .6 oz of pure alcohol). If you drink a pint (16 oz) of a 7% beer, you've actually had more like 2 drinks. A 5 oz glass of wine has to be 12% ABV, and a 1.5 oz shot of liquor would need to be 80 proof (40% ABV). Last, I find it interesting that the most popular drinks - beer and wine - are so watered down. That's because pure alcohol will kill you. It's poison. Not sure who came up with the idea that up to 14 weekly servings of watered down poison was considered "OK" but I know that wasn't the reason for you video.
Scotty Mastermind Thanks for the extra info! And for watching!
Thank you doctor Majd for your amazing content! How can we stop our loved ones from over drinking? Specially men with YOLO personality. They drink every two to three days and they are safe and responsible , it’s just that I’m worried about their health.
i drink only 1 or atmax 2 times a month but when i do its usually a whole bottle whiskey in a night and 1 hard pint beer that much atleast takes me to get high that is 750ml of 40+ percent alcohol and 15 % alcohol in beer m doing this for over 4 years now m a lil scared is it safe?? m in my early twenties
Same here. I am in my 30s, I drink tequila, whiskey and mezcal. And a dark bohemia beer. I love it because it makes me feel so good in that moment and forget problems. Why do you drink that much sir? What is the reason?
Is it bad that i like getting drunk I dont feel withdraw or any other symptoms and i can cut myself off after im intoxicated and say ive had enough. Also i always do it somewhere safe and never drive. Also i dont drink every week more like every other week. Also i only drink with friends.
I'm glad you are drinking safely. It's hard to know if how you're drinking is "bad" -- but the parameters i reviewed in the video are based on research of people who experience harmful effects when exceeding those limits.
Wine glasses are huge for "nosing", swirling and smelling the wine, before sipping
Exactly!
I have a rule that I have to jog 15 min for every beer I drink in a week. It helps to keep my beer consumption down and/or to keep fit/slim.
Damn I’ve been drinking between 42-60 beers per week. Trying to slow down but it’s definitely a nightly habit to get drunk. 🙄
Bruh I don't get drunk the second day your a freak.
@@vegetibilis2422 1 day a month is enough
i get drunk like once or twice a week but it ruins my mood and energy for the 3 days after so im tryna stop but im in college so its ''normal'' but im not happy. really wondering how u do 60 beers. id feel bad constantly
@@momov4060 how much you drink to get drunk?, I drank 7 shots of tequila yesterday in 2 hours and I felt I still needed 4 more to get drunk. I am getting a lot of tolerance to tequila. But maybe is not much for a 30 year old guy that weights 65kg here in Canada. How much you drink
@@arronbatchvarov5035 I got drunk once a month on average and ended up with high blood pressure lol. But I drank around 4.5 drinks too.
*Lists the first 5 criterion for Alcohol Use Disorder*
Me: "oh, good."
*continues list*
Me: "oh, no."
ftr, I only have like 3 or those criteria.
I only drink vodka, gin or hard liquor. Once or twice a month or less. I went my whole high-school career without drinking. I probably consume, less than a bottle of waters worth of alcohol a year tbh.
If you barely drink then why even drink at all lol
Cool story bro
I am 41 weeks sober. I’m a 45 year old mom of two, (8 and 7 years old). What started out as a glass of wine after work evolved into a bottle (sometimes more) of wine everyday. I’d pick up a bottle on my way to get my kids from school, knowing once we were home, I was safe to drink. By the time my husband got home from work, I was already buzzed. I now drink approx 4 liters of water per day instead!
I can empathize with two 8 year old twins here :). I'm so proud of you -- great job! Thank you for sharing your story!
Jules Dolan ask for help. I was so embarrassed to admit I had a problem. I asked my husband for help. He took the next couple days off from work to help alleviate any stress and encourage me. It’s not always easy but so worth having my life back!
Jules Dolan Sending you good thoughts and strength. Please see your doctor to talk about a plan to help you. I also placed a phone number hotline in the video and some resources in the description.
I drink maybe a pack of 24 in a year and sometimes I haven't drank in a year because whenever I drink my skin gets itchy and red. I don't think I was ever drunk in my life. So have never felt drunk to the point of passing out
I get skin pigmentation on my face to, the next day after drinking alot
You must be allergic?
@@jasonrican5737 no its normal.
Are you Asian? Many Asians lack a protein that is needed to metabolize alcohol properly.

Nobody around me drinks, it makes me sad :(

Your statistics on alcohol related deaths increasing from 1999 to 2017 fail to take into account that the population has grown during that time period by 50 million.
wow...my wife drinks way too much
that mannerism look to the left though..
Tell us so when dont have to figure it out or test ourselves just bloody tell us for gods sake
Lol did i take too long to answer the question? It's at 4:15. Great feedback and reminder to answer the Q earlier on, thank you,!
Claims to be a doctor->still uses ounces as a unit of measure. Sorry but I don't fall for misinformation. I'll keep chugging four lokos and driving under influence like a real man.
