Cracked co-worker

Sunny Disposition

Fella I work with, goes for a few pints at least three times a week, says he has an average of about ten pints a week. Is it me or is that madness? Guy is in his early 30s.

Balanadan

Sounds like you're working with a full-time mad bastard.

Andrew00

So what

frag420

Time to find a new job op, this place sounds like too much fun for you!!

Balanadan

Does he go for the few pints while he's at work?

BarryD2

Well going by Ray D'Arcy, he's a raging alcoholic.

Sure that's nothing.

Fella I work with, goes for a few pints at least three times a week, says he has an average of about eleven pints a week. Guy is in his mid 30s.

Nursing 3 pints over a night hardly worth going out

He's just sounds similar to somebody drinking a few glasses of wine at home during the week!

10 a week, meh. Bar I frequented very briefly consumption was up to 20 pints day!

A lot of people will joke but it sounds like he's drinking his life away. A man in his early 30s is still fairly young, and there are many healthier hobbies he should be looking into: running, the gym or perhaps he can take up football or handball or something. Much better than sitting in the pub three nights a week or playing video games.

I run, swim, lift weights & coach Judo and ten pints a week would be an easy week for me

I used to drink that in one sitting in the bad old days.

Fair play, hopefully it will never catch up with you when you get to my age. I'm in my fifties and too many of my old friends are struggling with high blood pressure or diabetes thanks to their years of excess.

In Ireland having 10 pints a week would be a very moderate drinker.

The OP is full of crap. Posted one earlier about the DUP etc . On the wind up.

I don't know who any of those people are. You don't need to be a doctor to know that drinking to excess is bad for you.

10 a week sounds like a very European number. They seem to socialise over beer in a way we don't. Couple of beers a few nights a week and they go home. Don't get the point but I think they actually like beer whereas a lot of Irish, beer is just a part of the night out

Also, the person above is an idiot. In a lot of ways socialising over a few beers is a better use of time than a gym workout. The gym is self consumed and a means to an end, its.solitaru and unsociable. Having a pint with some friends and having a laugh is living

*I say that as someone who drinks very rarely but when you think about it, one is much more fulfilling than the other.

If there is football on fair enough, some lads might want to just get out of house, have a couple of pints and go home.

10 pints a week is very moderate though, I'd go out 1 night and have 7 or 8, so maybe what I am doing is worse.

Either way none of our Business, if a man is happy to do what the OP has said that person is doing, leave them to it.

Ah come on, I have ten pints a week easy and I don't even drink.

Seriously though I know a lad I used to work with that would drink 11 or 12 pints and still drive the 5km back home

It's nice going for a beer or two and not getting ****faced.

I think, he thinks you're looking down on his lifestyle by saying he's doing something wrong and that he'll regret it in his 50's. My guess anyway

Well he shouldn't have made it about himself then if he didn't want people to comment on his lifestyle. This is a forum for discussion, not a blog.

If he has the time and money, work away.

It's good because your week becomes more lived. If you just wait to get ****faced every Saturday, the weeks and months will go by very quickly.
Going to the pub for a drink, some grub and a chat should be celebrated. That's our culture. Coffee and whatever else are good too but having a beer is something our ancestors have done for hundreds of years and it's a part of the way we socialise.

A blog in one sentence? You're full of guff. Also, you were in your 'sixties' on another thread. The mask is slipping.

I hope my Co-workers have better things to be doing than monitoring my alcohol consumption, unless it's affecting my work, it a weird thing for them to do

It's OK to have 8 pints in a week if it's every 3 weeks I guess? But 10 is wrong.

Plenty of them around.

10 pints a week isn't much for people of a certain age and/or socio-economic profile.

If you're still drinking that much by your mid-20s you're probably not on the fast track to anywhere. Although it's never acknowledged in tabloids or After Hours, there is a huge section of Irish society which simply never goes near a pub. We get married, raise families, have careers, enjoy family events and, generally speaking, the sort of married couples who go to pubs on a quotidian basis would be from poorer, less educated areas.

But this "boring" Ireland doesn't fit into the "The more drunk an Irish person is the more fun he is" narrative embraced by every vacuous aimless imbecile going. The vast majority of drunk Irish people I meet are just overbearingly obnoxious. After 2 or 3 pints, idiocy, not "fun", becomes more pronounced. And if you need alcohol to have "fun"...
