I dont think I like threads like this that make you sit down and contemplate your past life, but with careful consideration of my drinking history I have deduced that I have consistently consumed about six litres of beer and two litres of red wine every week for the last forty years. That's 12 tonne of beer and 4 tonne of wine. In round figures, that represents almost one tonne or six 44 gallon drums of ethanol. The liver is surely an amazing organ. Every year around my birthday, I have it checked by the doctor and finally on my 60th he told me it was "up" a bit whatever that means, so this year I didn't go back!
