Alcohol consumption

[Mumtwoboys90]

aibu to think that drinking 10 units of alcohol every day on a 2 week holiday is a lot?

This would be standard for me on holiday to be honest. 10 units is 1 bottle of wine or 4 beers.

Perfectly fine to me, if hes downing it one then that's silly but a few pints over the day, barely an animal, I would defo drink that amount

Yes everyday that's ridiculous.

I don't get how people can constantly drink so much and feel its normal.

3 pints of Guinness a day. On holiday. Normal I would say.

Not in a holiday. That's really easily done. The units don't Jean anything anyway. Google it
If it was 10 units a day normally that's definitely too much

That would be huge for us - i don't drink and DP has 1 to 2 units a day only, sometimes none.

I did that easily for a week at 18-25.
A pint of beer is around 2 units, so 5 beers a day. Which isn't really that much, if spread across the day. But if it's needed, its a problem.
I haven't seen your other thread, so can't comment on that.

All those saying it's normal on holiday, do you drink a lot of units at home otherwise how do you not feel ill?

I think across a whole day, a bottle of wine or 4-5 beers is not going to make you feel ill. One with lunch/mid morning, one in the afternoon, 1 or 2 with dinner and maybe one in the evening.

Doesn’t sound like much fun to me on a family holiday. Surely you’d be bouncing from drunk to hungover and back again? I’d probably have a drink most evenings but not be drunk in the day with the DC.

Please note everyone that the OP has posted before. This man drinks spirits heavily over the weekend. Every week.
He doesn’t go a day without alcohol.
This isn’t just a holiday binge.

Not so much that it’s normal, but if it’s the only time someone drinks that much, not so much of a big deal. I haven’t read the OP’s other thread but seems there’s a bigger problem here.

No dont drink a lot at home, generally just at weekends. Never felt ill, why would I ? A bottle of wine over the course of a day, probably more some days doesnt make me ill.

I couldn’t drink a bottle of wine a day and feel ok.

That’s about my holiday normal! A pint with lunch, another at the end of the day at the beach, a couple of vodkas in the evening (sometimes more!)... it’s relaxing but not enough to make me pissed, i hate feeling drunk but spaced out over the day it doesn’t have the same effect as if I’d drunk it all in the space of a few hours.
At home I don’t drink alcohol during the day because I have to go to work and I only tend to drink either a Friday or a Saturday night.

It's because it's very easy to spread it throughout the day. It's 5 pints of standard or even less of bit stronger beer. Have some with lunch and few in the evening. It's obviously a lot over the week for someone who drink basically nothing normally, but as long as you eat properly and drink non alcoholic drinks too, it's absolutely ok for normal drinker. I am pretty sure that I am on about 15 a day on short holidays...

I was ready to say YaNBU as I think drinking every day isn’t great but on holiday it’s a different story and most people don’t keep that level up when they are home.

Feel sick just thinking about that.
