Talking of this, there was some s**t on itv last night about binge drinking

and they got a girl to drink every night for a month, but she only last 22 days, and it was to show her the damage you could do

She stopped on 22 days because she felt ill

On the record of what she drank, it totalled up 349 units

Hmmm 349 divided 22 = 15.86 units a days. That's not binge drinking, and it proves f**k all, apart from alcohol f**ks your liver up dangerously if you drink 16 units a day
