I'm not kidding. I drank a half gallon of Barcardi Rum (80proof) everyday for 10 years. I mixed it with 4 liter bottles of coke. From the age of 30 to 40. I was 5-6" and 250 pounds but still, that's a lot. I get about 4 drinks out of a fifth.
I stopped two years ago. I now drink beer every once in a while and a 6 pack is enough and I'm done.
I had to quit because of stomach problems (I do miss it). The Doctor (saw 3 of them) says that I have no real liver damage.
I'm not bragging because it's nothing to be proud of. I would really like to know how this is possible. The Doctors don't even know.
Has anyone out there ever heard of this before? And yes, before you say it, I know that I'm an alcoholic. I didn't drink it and pass out,
most people were amazed that I was even drinking. I walked, talked and acted reasonably normal.
I started drinking beer when I was 13 (weekends) went to everyday about 20 years old. Hard stuff at 30.
I'd really like to know.

Lore99 - I've seen vhs tapes of xmas parties and other events. As I look back on it, I can honestly say that I was close to normal. Other times? (no camera around) you may be right.
And2 - Thank you for your comment and I'm sorry but the American Automobile Association does not have meetings, they just want me to send in the cash lol

My best guess FWIW is that you (or your family) had a naturally high alcohol tolerance. Bear in mind that you built up to that slowly over time - and your body became more and more adjusted to what you were putting in it.
As for acting "normal" I'd want to hear that from the people you were around first. My reason for saying that is that alcohol lowers our ability to "judge" ... we might think we're fine (sound fine, walk fine etc.) but in fact are slurring, wabbling etc. Having experienced this myself, I'm certainly not pointing any fingers.
Good on you for getting away from the unhealthy lifestyle!

I too drink every day......I drink about 20 beers a day, and have a big time successful occupation. I call it my function juice. I too have been to the DR. just to be sure, and my liver is fine, and my cholesterol is 110. So cheers my good man.

Anyone who drinks that much rum is a sissy. Now if it was Jack Daniels...
