Answers:
Don't you have the proof or alcohol per volume listed on the bottle!? And aren't there many different sizes of bottles!? I assume your not drinking a tiny shot bottle, but still!.!.!.

As far as I know alcohol is alcohol!. It doesn't matter what form, if you take in enough in a short period of time, or over a long period of time, you'll do some damage!. Nothing I've read says anything about alcohol causing brain damage, and alcohol certainly doesn't kill brain cells like so many people say!.

Wikipedia has a list of what different countries consider to be the "Recommended maximum intake of alcoholic beverages," so you might want to check the places they cite, or at least read what they have to say on the topic!.

The first step to overcoming your addiction is to admit you have a problem! :P

You seem to be concerned about your health, so to start there is no recommend daily allowance for alcohol!. Alcohol is a toxic substance and you drink it at the expense of your health!. If you are in other wise good health the amount of vodka you are consuming is not going to be a big health issue in terms of your heart and liver!. However, you should remember that alcohol is a neurotoxin and your brain will be slightly damaged every time you drink!. The other issue is the way you are drinking, a half a bottle of vodka at a time is what I would call binge drinking and that is not a good thing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A small amount of alcohol every day is healthy for you!. Binge drinking once a week is not!.
That is what your doing you know, binge drinking!. That you only do it once a week proves nothing!. it is still an alcoholic behavior!.Every time you do it you stress your liver and cause scare tissue to form!. This wil;l lead to sclerosis of the liver!. Not today, but over time!. My suggestion is for you to learn how to drink like a grown up!. My Grandfather lived to be 104, and had a beer and a shot of tequila every day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The pop (coca cola) is probably worse for you than the voddy!. Mix it with juice if you are worried about it, I drink about 3-4 times a week and am healthy!. Drink a lot of water the next day so your liver flushes out the booze Cheers!Www@FoodAQ@Com

vodka is one of the hardest liqueurs, it's good that u mix it bc then it's not as strong!. but my personal exp from my family are pretty bad!.

i come from Russia, and well, everyone knows that Russians love vodka lol some of my family drank it like water and had liver failure by age of 50-60, some even earlier!. i've never heard of anyone having a heart problem though, they even smoked like a chimney, but it never affected the heart!.

one of my friends just got a liver blockage not that long ago!. she's only 24, and she didn't drink very much, but same thing- vodka w/ coke!. she ended up having Hepatitis, and they thought it was from food or dehydration, but turned out to be from liver blockage!. amazingly enough she recovered on her own b4 they got ready to do a surgery, which turned out to be unnecessary!. she's fine now, but can't drink alcohol for the next 2 months!.

i, myself, used to drink Jack every Friday, and it affected my memory very bad, i started forgetting things a lot and sometimes couldn't tell the dream from reality!. i didn't think that it was from drinking bc i drank only once a week!. but then i started skipping a friday or 2, and my memory started coming back to normal!.

remember that everyone is different, it might be fine now for u, but it might hit u hard one day!. it also may not and u might live till 104 lol but try to switch to something lighter once in a while, like beer one of the fridays!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
