Bear Drinks 36 Beers and Passes Out

I'm The Low-Carb Bartender...not The Low-Carb Alcohol Abuse Consuler.


I thought part of a bartender's job, low-carb or otherwise, was to see
to it that his customers didn't overdo it?

I have always, and all my posts will verify this, preached moderation when
drinking. That is the key to enjoying a drink or two while watching carbs.
However, I can't come over to your house and hit you in the head with a
bottle of Tanquery if you've been bad.

What is considered moderate drinking?

For a man in the US---two servings of an adult beverage per day. That would
be two servings of 12-ounce beers, two servings of 5-ounce wines, or two
servings of 1.5 ounces of a distilled spirit, commonly known as a "jigger."
For women, only one serving. This is per the USDA and their recommended
guidelines for alcohol consumption.
Every country and their health or nutrition department, however, seem to
have their own guidelines as to what consitutes "moderate drinking."

My skinny SO loves his beer and has a couple most every day, he likes beer
with his dinner. He stays thin because he doesn't snack, never eats
breakfast and sometimes forgets to eat meals when he gets involved with
doing something. He's 72 so it's not likely to change when he gets older.

Here in the UK I think it's 14 "units" per week for a woman, and no more
than 3 "units" per day; and 21 for a man, no more than 4 per day. But
what, exactly, constitutes a "unit" is a vexed issue. I think it's a
glass (125 ml) wine, or 1/2 pint beer (but there are beers and beers!)
or a pub measure of spirits.

Does anybody know, by the way, which has more calories - a glass of red
wine or a measure of whisky (thinking of my forthcoming visit to my
parents)?

He sounds wise! He probably has a fast metabolism, too.
