This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What constitutes "more than a few" here?
About 1 a day -- if you're going over that, you'd be considered a "heavy drinker"
But even that much is still "bad" for you, just not as bad.
My wife worries about my drinking. I might have 18 cans of beer in a year if I'm really going crazy.
The other comment is a pretty good baseline (1 a day), but there is some nuance to it. Gender/body size/age, etc all play a role. And it matters if youre literally doing 1 a day or averaging 1 a day. Having 7 drinks every saturday is not the same and have 1 drink with dinner every day.
The best answer is, consult your medical professional
And even then, if you're having 1 a day, you are right up at the edge of being a "heavy drinker".
New recommendations are something like 2 per week max.
