I am 25 and every Friday and Saturday I completely let loose!.!.!.!. and have done so for the past 8 years!.!.!.!.

Of course it has it's downfalls!.!.!.!. liver!.!.!.!.alcoholsim!.!.!.!.drinking and driving!.!.!.ect!.!.!.!. but if you are smart about it you are fine!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is like asking 'does taking poisen once a week !.!.!.!.'

Yes, in the UK we now have a binge drinking culture with young people bingeing only at weekends!. The result is still an increase in young alcoholism, higher incidence of alcohol toxicity illness such as liver desease!.

On top of that is the increase in a yob culture with girls now as bad as boys for violent and absive behaviour!.

Whilst so drunk you are damaging your brain too!. In addition you are at a far increased risk of being subjected to violence, rape, accident!.

Talk to a Paramedic!. They will tell you the risks!.

Consuming any type of alcohol in excessive amounts is not good for anyone!. If you like to get really drunk a couple of times a week, then take a good hard look at yourself and ask if you're heading towards becoming an alcoholic!. Excessive drinking ruins lives, so stop it before you ruin yours!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make sure you are with friends - and go home with friends!.
Know your limits - and pace yourself so you don't spend the evening throwing up!.
Give your liver a break by drinking water throught the week

Stop when you think you're putting on weight!.

It's fine to do this when growing up - Make sure you don't continue past 28 or you might not see 50!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is an interesting question, for years I would go out to my local pub on friday nights and drink anything from 4 to 10 pints of what we called landlady - 'Old and Bitter' apart from the occasional thick head I noticed no ill effects, now this is called 'Binge Drinking' and is frowned upon!.
I now take warfarin on a regular basis so I'm on a no alcohol rule, I feel no better or worse!. Last Saturday I bought a pint to celebrate and didn't like the taste!?!?!?
Several answers suggest drinking red wine, but they don't take the message through to the end!.!.!. drink red wine, eat red veg and fruit, its the red that does the trick - not the wine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are some studies which actually suggest having a small amount of alcohol each day may be beneficial to you!. A small amount meaning one or possibly two servings each day!.

If you like to get really drunk, that is what is known as binge drinking and no, that is not good for you!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

As long as your liver doesn't mind!. But when you turn a lovely amber or green then you know you've gone too far!. Hey don't come crying to me for a transplant either!. Unless your a famous person you wont get no 2nd chance liver!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Can you enjoy drinking without getting drunk!? If so, that is good, not bad for you!. When we get drunk, we tend to do stupid things!.!.!.!.that may be bad for you!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
