Happy lightweight/social drinker in the bar 4 or 5 times a week usually drinking 3 or 4 beers but if for whatever reason I drink more than 6 then I don't stop 'til I hit double figures and the next day ends up being totally wiped out. Happens about once a month so any tips on how to reliably avoid that seventh beer and head home???

Humorous replies welcome

add sprite to the beer.

And ice... Do you have a job or hobby? I'm hardly ever in a bar.

drinking is a big problem in SEA.

hangovers seem to increase too since the booze is commonly full of preservatives an horrid chemicals

Leave all your money at home and only take $5 with you.
And drink

Alternate alcohol and water

Already started adding ice to the beer
Enjoy the social side of having a couple of hours sat with friends taking the mickey out of each other
Would feel vulnerable if I went out with only $5 in my pocket.

What I need is some type of headwear that counts the number of beers and starts flashing at 5

But that's only in America

Beer sold in America can contain several of the following ingredients:

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) – alcohol is already addictive with some people, but with MSG?! Holy smokes.
Propylene Glycol (an ingredient found in anti-freeze)
Calcium Disodium EDTA (made from formaldehyde, sodium cayanide, and Ethylenediamine)
Many different types of sulfites and anti-microbial preservatives (linked to allergies and asthma)
Natural Flavors (can come from anything natural including a beavers anal gland)
High Fructose Corn Syrup
GMO Sugars – Dextrose, Corn Syrup
Caramel Coloring (Class III or IV made from ammonia and classified as a carcinogen)
FD&C Blue 1 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity)
FD&C Red 40 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity)
FD&C Yellow 5 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity)
Insect-Based Dyes: carmine derived from cochineal insects to color their beer.
Animal Based Clarifiers: Findings include isinglass (dried fish bladder), gelatin (from skin, connective tissue, and bones), and casein (found in milk)
Foam Control: Used for head retention; (glyceryl monostearate and pepsin are both potentially derived from animals)
BPA (Bisphenol A is a component in many can liners and it may leach into the beer. BPA can mimic the female hormone estrogen and may affect sperm count, and other organ functions.)
Carrageenan (linked to inflammation in digestive system, IBS and considered a carcinogen in some circumstances)

During my investigation, I couldn’t get a single mainstream beer company to share the full list of ingredients contained in their beer. But I did get some of them to fess up to the use of these ingredients in writing so I’m going to share this information with you now.https://foodbabe.com/2013/07/17/the-sho ... s-in-beer/
