Is it safe to binge this amount?

I'm confused, you've put "haha" at the end of your post? For people like myself who are really struggling with alcohol addiction, there is no joke about it, no "haha".

According to government statistics you are beyond self drinking limits.

All the best.

Well John, of course you have drunk a huge amount this week. This is not your normal drinking and I assume you don't intend to continue in this way after today. But we don't know what's going on inside us and when one drink will be one too many. The problem is we don't get any warning of our livers failing, they just suddenly can't renew themselves anymore. So chances are you might be OK today, but a high tolerance for alcohol is not a good sign, it's a sign you're getting too used to it. So the answer to your question is no, it's not ok to binge this amount and you have found a forum where we know this from bitter experience. And as BK says, it's no laughing matter. Enjoy the end of your holiday and look after yourself.

Hi John. You are the same age as one of my children so I can understand that it's what a lot of you guys do at that age. I did at your age, weekend and holidays. Do you get hangovers?

I don't think you need to worry really unless it starts to become a problem in your life. If you can just stop for several days and don't crave the next day plus you eat healthily and drink lots of water, then you haven't really got a problem. If you get aggressive or get into any kind of trouble when on a binge, then you should seek help on this site. 

So just take care and treat drinking with respect. 😀

Hello John,

The fact that you have posted on this site is the clue.  Ha,ha, is the cloak.  St. Patrick is the excuse.  Well, that's that sorted.  You have realised that your drinking is a problem.  Good.  What to do to now?  That is quite a question.  I am of green blood, too...ha,ha ! There is an alcohol link, I'm sure. Genetic disposition? Neither of my parents were "drinkers". Both Irish.  I have a serious alcohol problem...no ha,ha...ba, ba, bad !  People on this site are wonderful in their support... well, most of them. There are always exceptions... they hurt me. I am a fragile soul. You have to think things through.  You are a young man.  Alcohol is a false friend.

Hi there

I'm puzzled.   Did you have a doctor confirm that you have a high tolerance to alcohol or was it you just thought you had?  My wife broke her hip on January 1st but could not operate until her liver blood tests imporoved.  She almost died because of excessive alcohol (or booze if you like) and I'm damn lucky to still love her on this earth.  Do not use a holiday as an excuse to drink.  (By the way is it your parents, grandparents or great granparents before you use as an excuse?)

How dare you belittle your girlfriend's feelings and advice.  Quite honestly my advice to you is this; either take on board the counsel given  on this Site, listen to your girlfriend and get help, drink yourself to death but do not ever post anything on this Site for a joke. 

Pretty sure that about covers it. 

My best wishes and encouragement to all that looks at this site.

Hi John,

I bet you wished you'd never asked.

It is a lot over a short period and your body will be in a state of shock afterwards. Be prepared to feel ill for a day or two (nauseous), out of sorts, not quite up to speed with anything.

Make sure you eat something, for your body to get nutrients, not junk food, eating a little bit of proper food is far better than stuffing yourself with a takeaway. Take fluids other than alcohol, this will be really difficult like eating, as your body will tell you it is neither hungry or thirsty.

Give your body a rest from alcohol after this for a while and you should be fine. It goes with out saying, don't make a habit of it and don't get addicted to the stuff, it is easily done.

I think a number of people were unnecessarily harsh on John.

He came here for advice, not to be told off or people have a go at him for things that have gone wrong in their own lives or a partner/relative. He is not responsible for that.

He didn't make any jibes or nasty comments, the guy is on holiday and he is young. I remember at his age, I went on an 18-30s holiday and drank a fair bit more than I usually do, in fact I was a despatch rider back then, so drinking during the week was out, during the rest of the year.

He might have been nervous about posting on here, hence a sort of nervous haha at then end. I don't think there was any malice or derogatory intent and even after he apologised people were still having a pop at him, as if things were his fault. At least he had the intelligence to come here and ask at a young age, I wish I'd had had that fore thought, I wouldn't have ended up where I did.
