There is nothing very social about drinking on your own in the house which is increasingly where a lot of people are doing their drinking due to the cost of alcohol in pubs. | ||

 Member 1419, 2281 posts SQ 175, BP 105, DL 240520.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | My guess is that people who need to abstain from drinking probably have poor self-control and extreme personalities (all or nothing - cannot control moderate drinking etc). These traits in turn correlate with an unhappy life and poor health. | ||

Since I started powerlifting about a year ago, its been complete abstainence during most times and 3-4 massive binges (in excess of 10 pints a night). I'm sure this is very unhealthy but I just don't do social drinking. If I'm drinking I better be getting wasted. | ||

I feel really anxious when I dont drink so is drinking or not drinking better for me? Hand on heart as a drinker anyone who suggests my addiction is actually good for my health is having a f**king laugh. I actually think the title of this thread is inaccurate . The studies I've seen quote 'moderate' drinking as having health benefits , I've never heard of studies even by Carlsberg or grain producers ( who are behind a lot of bulls**t studies) that try to prove hardend drinkers will outlive those who abstain. | ||
