    In the absence of a bona fide drinking problem, It seems pretty neat to me. They did it on Mythbusters once. I don't even remember what the experiment was for, except laughs.

    I drink basically everyday just make sure you log everything you are drinking so you know where you stand on your calorie allowance

    I'm really trying not to drink during the week...I like to have a good time, but I'm really trying to keep that to Saturday evenings. I've been finding that when I drink too much during the week I have recover issues from lifting and cycling. Sucks getting old...I used to be able to party and ride my bike at the same time when I was 22.

    I'm with this guy. I can't drink and recover like I used to when I was younger. Keep it to Friday/Saturday and maybe stay away from the mixed drinks that just end up piling on more sugar than the alcohol itself already provides. I won't give up my social drinking though, even if it does inhibit my health n some ways.

    Is time to social drink hopefully I won't over do it cause I would have make it up next week and that means a lot of running.
