Lots of what?

It's bad for your health, but go ahead because the quicker you put yourself out of misery, the better off we'll all be.


oh, that was just hateful - I'm sorry

of course it is, it' bascially a poision!

Everything in moderation!

Why not ask a doctor? Yahoo answers is for entertainment purposes only, not a substitute for professional advice.

Suppose it depend on what you're drinking. If you mean alcohol, of course it's bad for you. Old Wives' tale? How about scientific proof. Why don't you start, drink every day and in a few years come back and tell us how your liver, weight, eyes, brain and everything are doing?

It's NOT a Wives Tale. It will DESTROY YOUR LIVER. A Glass of Wine a Night will Surfice for a Healthy Heart.

It's bad for you. I found that drinking every day- made my mind less sharp, aggravated my skin and zapped my energy. I've stopped for 5 days after a party binge from hell- near comas are not healthy. I feel great again now- as I've overdone cider, wine, beer, Pernod, gin, whisky and bitter- I'm not left with much that just the smell of doesn't make me feel sick- so I sort of cured myself really. I feel like a kid again with loads of energy. I couldn't do moderation- so it has to be none if I want to live.

Not if you're drinking with moderation. A glass of red wine a day is actually good for you.

At first, no. Your body will cope with it. After a while you will find you can drink more.
And thats when you're in real trouble because you are physically (and most likely) emotionally addicted to it and one day you realise you're an alcoholic. By then it is very tough to break the habit and your health will probably have suffered.
So no, heavy drinking every day is bad for you./ Do it long enough and you will probably die.
Life is actually better without a drink.
And you'll live longer, too.

of course it is

say bysee bye to your liver, small intestines and brain cells

booze--yes water---no, if your drinking too much water, get a blood test for diabeties

Think it was the Doctors who said it was bad for your health, the Old wives had nothing to do with it.....Social drinking good
drinking lots each day, Bad....drink a moderate amount and have a binge now and then.

yes it is. it is like people drinking too much medicine, he will overdose and alcohol can make your digestive malfunction.

Depends how far you take it.

There was a news report some years ago about a women whose drink was spiked with ecstasy in a nightclub, she'd heard that you should drink lots of water so started swallowing pint after pint in a serious panic.
She panicing so much at one point was drinking out of a recepticle the size of a bucket!

She eventually collapsed because her system had become flooded with water and she died.
In a sense, she actually drowned herself!

Both my brother and I started drinking in high school. By the time we were in our mid twenties we drank every day. I thankfully met a women that made me quit before she would marry me. My brother wasn't as lucky and kept drinking until last year when his liver started to fail. It was really hard to see him laying in bed in so much pain that a tear would run down his cheek when he moved. He was my big brother, the one I always turned to for help and now there was nothing either of us could do to help him. The day before he died he was yellow (jaundice??) and when he was talking to me about what he wanted me to do for his family when he died a yellow tear ran down his cheek.

No it's defintely not an old wives tale. Drinking excessively does damage your brain cells and is bad for your liver, not to mention bad breathe.

YES IT IS DEADLY TO YOUR HEALTH WHEN IT COMES TO DRINKING ALCOHOL, IT DAMAGES YOUR LIVER SEVERELY, NOT ONLY THAT BUT 4 A MALE YOUR MANHOOD WILL NOT WORK AS WELL AS YOU HOPE AND A FEMALE HAS A LESS HOPE OF HAVING KIDS OR HAVING A PROPER BIRTH. MY SOURCES HAVE NOT COME FROM THE INTERNET IT IS FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. BY THE WAY IT IS NOT ONLY DAMAGING TOO YOUR HEALTH IT ALSO TEARS FAMILIES APART, YET AGAIN COMING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. HOPE THIS ANSWER HELPS YOU OR A FRIEND TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO.

In moderation no but as you place the emphasis on lots no. Two glasses of wine or beer a day arw porbably ok. It's better to drink over a week what some drink in one weekend or night. Binge drink is bad but as I said so is drinking a lot on a daily basis. If you do need to drink every day i think you may need help. Also if you do go binging then replace one alcoholic drink with water it will cut down you intake and cut down the morning after effects.

The Alcoholics go first, followed by the junkies, then the smokers....and if your a Drummer...well!!!

If it's alot of alcohol It will destroy your liver, Give you ulcers or cancer.

Bad for your health and your bank balance!!!!!
