As long as he stays under the "100 line" (for example, 14 drinks a day for each of 7 days would be 98 drinks and "under" the 100 line) he is good to go. More than that is OK, on special occasions, but probably not a good idea too often.


Are you for real? I can't drink 13glasses of water per day much less 13 beers! Or do you have a different definition of a drink?? If you drink that much booze please go to the hospital ASAP.

I say that it sounds like a sneaky addict lied to you about what they were using those needles for.

Yes, no more than 100 drinks per week (not day.)

100 line?

Is this your scientific assessment?

12 pack a week??? Count your blessings. I started with a fifth of vodka BEFORE I went out Friday and Saturday nights. That was just to prime the pump...

Sober for nine years now because the hangovers were killing me.

I have never heard of anyone doing this ever.


You need to get out more. Sometimes people do this openly- it's called a Boilermaker.


Yeah. I’m not saying that people don’t mix liquor and beer or that people don’t hide alcohol use from other people at home. I have just never heard of anyone secretly injecting miniatures of vodka into a beer. People hiding a bottle of vodka in a toilet tank and taking a shot every time they go to the bathroom...yes. Secretly pouring it into their expensive IPA...no.

More generally, tell him you have a problem with it and why- describe the effect it is having on you.


Wow nice conflation. Being overweight can cause fatty liver but alcohol abuse alone can do it and it doesnt matter I'd they are thin/fit or not. Let's not get people thinking 'oh as long as I stay slim I can drink as much as I want.' Severe alcoholism can even make you thinner b.c you stop eating.

You're absolutely right!
He could be putting heroin in it, too
