I've never been able to drink that much. I mean, I drink, and I drink on the reg. RIght now I am drinking less which I think is great! But I don't think it's great because I think drinking is inherently bad - I want to save money and calories. I am also kind-of trying to avoid a bartender at my bar. (What? I can go to different places to consume alcoholic beverages? You fool, shuddup.)

So right now I'd say that I don't drink at all about 3 nights a week and then 4 nights a week I have up to 6 or 7 drinks. (Six is usually where I flag myself for stopping - I drink doubles - it's three doubles and sometimes they can be strong doubles or I drink them quickly, so the level of drunk they make me is actually rather varied.) I haven't gone on a marathon in a while. You know, when you drink a large number of drinks over an extended period of time so while you might say "I had 10 drinks today" they're all spaced out so it's reasonable. With drinking I confess I'm a bit more of a sprinter.

Ten joints a day is a lot. I venture for most people it would be completely incapacitating. I venture that 10 joints in one day would incapacitate me. Weed naps to heaven!
