And I just had to give up the ganj for a new job!

particularly since I'm about to start drinking tonight.

I had to take out the trash, change the cat litter, play with the cat and put my brother to bed. I've also been listening to some music this evening (The Hollies, Electric Prunes and Beau Brummels).

I got purty tore up myself last nite. Check the music appreciation group for last nites tunes.

Edited 2/4/17 1201 pm CT to take into account that common liquor bottle sizes are not really in half pints and pints and so on. Thanks to Mosby in #8

A half pint is 200 ml which is 6.763 U.S. fluid ounces. 1.5 ounces of 80 proof (40% alcohol content) is a standard drink. So it comes to 6.763/1.5 = 4.51 standard drinks a day. (A 12 oz can of Budweiser, which is 5% alcohol, also equals a standard drink).

I'm using one standard drink = 0.6 oz. of pure alcohol. That seems to be the most common in the U.S., but one often also sees a different standard: 0.5 oz = one standard drink

So beware. It doesn't take a pint or a quart a day habit to do a serious number on one's health.

since I'm diabetic and also have a history of low calcium levels on my blood tests. I also recently read an article linking diabetes with pancreatic cancer.

Tend to understate their consumption. He probably drinks 2-3 times as much as he said.

a "pint" of alcohol is actually 375 ml, at 60ml per drink that's only 6.25 drinks per "pint", so he's claiming that he was drinking about 3 drinks per day.
