Is this a serious health risk?!


Question:

Is this a serious health risk?

I drink about 30 - 40 light beers a week. Mostly on the weekends and usually about 12 -15 beers per Friday or Saturday. I dont drink every day, and it is always light beer. I was wondering how this compared to hard liquor or regular beer as far as long term health concerns.


Answers:
Too much alcohol. Yep and your body isn't going to be able to take it after awhile.

Dag yo.

Well I don't think any amount of beer is good the amount of light beer that you are drinking could equal the same amount of one or 5 real beer..s... SO maybe you could just drink ONE regular and that's it..don't make it a contest...take your time...DON"T CHUG!...and remember beer belly does happen.

Dude, cut back to about 3-4 beers a day, and about 2-3 days a week. Since it's light beer, the effects might be negligible but you still need to keep them in mind.

I would say definately not as serious as if it were the same amount of hard liquor or wine.....
I don't really think that just because it's lite beer that it's ok to drink in such quantities though. ;-)
Beer is like wine, a bit once in awhile can be beneficial! Make sure you drink some decent beer though.

Light beer just means less calories, it does not change the alcohol content. 30-40 beers equal 30-40 shots of hard liquor. Do the math, either way you are drinking way too much. Think about the damage you are doing to your liver right now! I hope you at least smart enough to not drive after drinking.

yes it is a risk. it is binge drinking and that can have more serious consequences than drinking 3 everyday. light beer still has the same amount of alcohol. just less calories.
