You serious? lol.... Painkiller medication (they all differ on how potent but...) Cause chemical reactions when combined with alchol.... To the point they can cause internal bleeding in the stomach... And damage to the intestines... The side effects wouldn't bother me... But I'm not down with internal bleeding...

Generally drank a bottle over the weekends but then about 4 months ago decided to try and more or less knock it on the head for generally better physical and mental health. I missed the taste and the “relaxation” but then the other night I opened a bottle that had been in the house these 4 months. I drank 2 glasses (not exactly excessive) and felt well groggy. Worse - the next day I felt terrible and (I think) it gave me a day’s worth of depressive mood. A good lesson I think cos now I’m not missing it at all. I’ve got a really good quality red that was a present, sitting there... and I’m wondering what to do with it...

Despite what some might think here I rarely drink. Its just that when I do it tends to be to excess. I almost always suffer an acid stomach and moderate depression for the 2 to 3 days following. Wish I could learn that 2 drinks and stop thing.

Drinking culture in the UK is shameful and I agree the only reason for the extension to 24hr drinking was profit and revenue. I cant see it changing much very soon though.

I've never been drunk. I just don't see the point. I do drink on occasion.

Alex,

no, never. For that matter I've never used any street drug despite my support for marijuana legalization.

Slap my wrist I know it is slightly off topic... But you support it to be legal? Would you smoke it then?

Alex,

if it was legal I might try it. Primarily I support it because it's less harmful than alcohol and, if regulated, an excellent source of revenue rather than the money sink that is the "war on drugs." I think it's so silly when people get arrested for having marijuana on them. It's pretty harmless except in excess which is true of most things.

Hi,
Alcohol is a very dangerous mummy which will eat the livers of the human's but they are thinking about it they are drinking and enjoying their family is crying like anything thinking of them but they are not bothering any one so government should ban it for a while because they are becoming slaves drinking is healthy to body but not more we have to control ourselves and drink less even doctors also says to drink and also they also drink..

In April, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau requested comments on a wide range of issues concerning informational labeling of alcoholic beverages. The current appears to be just the first step toward future rulemakings to provide consumers with more specific information about alcoholic beverages.
