Alcohol in Every Beverage?

Question

A friend of mine and I made a bet for 100 dollars, to only consume alcoholic beverages whenever we drink something. So when we feel really thirsty, we've both been running to beer...We've been at it for a week and 2 days now and it completely killed our appetites. I find it hard to want to eat, and i've already lost like 10 pounds. Surprisingly i don't feel hungry or thirsty...is this deadly? I know it's not healthy, but thats not my concern. I just don't want to die over pride and a stupid 100 dollars...should i let him win? Once again, if it's not lethal, i'll keep going...thx for the help, because i can't find an answer from web surfing...

Answer 1

It's gonna do some damage to your liver over enough time, and you're probably dehydrated. Alcoholics survive for awhile, but they can have some serious liver damage. I wouldn't keep this up for more than a couple of days, so that you're going on the second week is concerning. People have done things like this before and not died, I'm sure (think transoceanic voyages), but your body needs regular water without having to separate it from hops, carbonation and alcohol all the time. That breakdown requires more water than the drink gives you. Why else would a night of drinking leave you thirsty in the morning, and why else would enough water help knock a hangover?

You probably won't die, but you're not doing your bodies well. You're probably dehydrated, which speaks to the loss of weight, because it's probably mostly water weight.

Answer 2

The weight you're losing is all water. Your body usually stores about ten pounds extra water, and alcohol pretty much causes you to whiz it all out. It'll all come back once you return to a regular diet.

Not to mention, if you keep this up you'll probably die. Possibly an intestinal rupture from an explosion of liquid diarrhea.

Answer 4
