      6 drinks and 3 large servings of filling/greasy foods? I have different ideas. My splurging would be less extreme personally. Even at my drinking peak, were I driving I would definitely not be downing all that at dinner.

        ‘were I driving I would definitely not be downing all that at dinner.’

        I should hope so, as you’d probably be pissed, but it doesn’t say anything about him driving.

        If you’re sat with friends for 3 or 4 hours on a night out, that isn’t wild. We’d usually have 2 or 3 courses and drinks on a big meet up, maybe 3 or 4 times a year. It’s only excessive if you’re doing it all the time.

            I’m well aware. It described roughly the same amount of food as a 3 course meal for 1 person, with drinks.

        Technically he had 8 drinks, and it’s considered “binge drinking” at 5 drinks. As others have pointed out though, time is a big factor.

        3 meals and 8 drinks in a single hour period would be a lot and pretty hard on the heart. That same amount over a 3 or more hour period sounds like a lovely night in my book.

        His heart was likely on is last legs anyway, he died doing what he loved, no judgement here.
