Perhaps it's affecting your spelling? OK, that wasn't very nice. I'll be serious now.

I think there's a couple things you should look at here. One, maybe getting drunk EVERY Friday and Saturday night is something you should look at from a "do I have a problem" point of view. Two, given how getting drunk makes most people dehydrated, tired, sick, etc. do you really need to ask this question? Finally, try and NOT DRINK one Friday and Saturday and see how you feel.

I think this should be judged from a "what kind of behavior do I exhibit during said intoxication" stand point. Are you enjoying yourself and the people around you? Or are you getting in fights, losing friends and getting arrested?

Dehydration is easy enough to fix. Drink more water, pre/peri/post alcohol consumption. Sleep loss is also easy to fix. Sleep in. WIth a healthy diet, other than getting drunk a few times a week, sickness shouldn't be a huge issue. Sticking to one flavor of alcohol is also a good idea. My worst hangovers have hit me after a night of drinking a lot of different stuff. When I stick to beer only or bourbon only, I'm a lot better off the next day.

Finally, try and NOT DRINK one Friday and Saturday and see how you feel.

I can tell you how I'd feel. Cheated.

Tips: In my opinion, drinking to the point of complete intoxication is unneccessary and it rarely ends well. The secret to enjoying booze without regretting life in general is to experiment and find that "happy place". You've all felt it. It's the point in the night when you are truely YOU. Your shyness/passiveness/apprehensiveness/(insert character flaw here) is gone and you just enjoy yourself and the people around you. It's typically the point where your dart, pool or bowling game slightly improve due to your relaxed state. When you get to this point, try to maintain it for as long as possible. You'll have more fun, you'll be able to remember it, and you'll wake up in better shape.

It takes practice and dicipline do this and I still fuck it up from time to time, but I'm a lot more consistant than I used to be.

Happy drinking.

This post alone is almost worth making this thread a sticky.

In other words, very good post!

if you've been drinking that much since the age of 15, im assuming your tolerance is pretty high. Taking your name into consideration, you should take it easy on the beers, thats alot of calories that you just don't need. Especially if you calorie overload on friday and then do it all over again on sunday, your looking at alot of running to do on sunday

YES, it does. How old are you?

Try giving it up for a few weeks and pay attention to how much better your body feels. Also, pay attention to how much better your training is during the week. I've been where you are, the older you get the longer your body takes to recover. Your body may be in recovery mode Monday-Thursday and then you start the cycle over and you are never near 100%. Give it a try and if you fail at taking a few weekends off, you've got a bigger problem to deal with.

Another option, get a girlfriend, your desire to go out will drop significantly.

It's usually the shit that people eat while they're drunk that really screws up their programs.

Or that they don't eat at all and do nothing but drink.
