Is this an unhealthy lifestyle?!


Question: Is this an unhealthy lifestyle?
So Im 19. Sophomore in college. Here is how my weekends usually go, Ill use this weekend since its fresh in my mind.

Thursday: Just chillin, buy a 30 of some beer, and 4 or 5 people will kill the 30, and it will be a bluntfest as well. Will probably drink 7-8 beers.
Friday: Buy another 30, pregame, buy a small bottle, go to a relatively small party. Same 7-8 beers, and 3 or 4 shots.
Saturday: Me and my one friend together killed a handle of Smirnoff, and than went and bought a 24 pack of beer which was killed as well. Cant even count the shots, Ill just estimate 15 or so, and 3 or 4 beers.
Sunday: Recover
Monday: Gin and Tonic night. Will probably drink 3 or 4 cups of Gin and Tonic and we'll have a bluntfest....

This is my usual weekend routine....yes, monday is a part of my weekend. Is this bad...it doesnt seem to be too healthy lol

If you have to ask, chances are it is. The Cannabis is not part of the problem, at all. If you feel that you are drinking to much, the cut down. Do you really need to drink every time your friends do? Remember, the less you drink the lower your tolerance will be, and it will take less to do the trick.

Props for maintaining a healthy workout plan.



NOT healthy :(
be careful or you'll get a beer belly before you realize it!

You should reduce the alcohol consumption, have more healthy food like vegetables and fruit
Do you exercise ? You should. At least half an hour each day

Edit:
The exercise part sounds great!



it's healthy, you'll just die sooner



sounds like my kind of man



I think you know the answer to your initial question, but I'll elaborate anyway:
1. You are well on your way to becoming an alcoholic, whether you consciously realize it or not, soon enough your body will become dependent. Unfortunately, most people don't realize it as being serious or realize it at all until it's a little too late. Ease off the bottle and see how it affects your mood.
2. Gym everyday or not, you are drastically reducing the benefit of your work in the gym because your body is spending so much time and energy recovering (whether you feel it or not), there isn't much time to retain the muscle you already have, much less build more of it. Ease off the bottle and see how much progress you are robbing your body of.
3. Socially, no one likes the drunk. No one wants to deal with the blacked out guy every night. Girls don't like drunks, unless they themselves are suffering from the same thing. (See: "Barfly," perfect cinema example of this). Ease off the bottle and focus on transitioning into "social drinking;" now count how many more positive interactions you have with girls you actually want to hook up with, not the girls who are equally as trashed (and usually trashy) you end up bringing home by default of your habits.
4. What are you constantly escaping from by hitting the bottle 5/7 nights of the week? Instead of escaping by getting plastered, why not design a lifestyle you don't need to constantly escape from; one that bring you happiness/fulfillment/fill-in-the-blank without the help of 7-8 shots.
5. Money. I don't care how much dough you're rolling in, it's an expensive habit and given you're in college I would be willing to bet your alcohol expenses are quite sizable in comparison to what else is in the bank.
6. You're current behavior is overboard. "Everything in moderation, including moderation." You need to start implementing the first part. Are you enjoying it as much as you did previous to this? Even dessert gets old after a while, ease off before the "fun" part wears off and all your left with is a dependent habit thats limiting your success.

Do yourself a favor man. Heed my advice, I've been down this road.
