    Depends how many beers you’re drinking in those three hours. Three to five, that might be okay if you’re not drinking the rest of the week and keep your vitamin levels up. In my drinking days I could easily put away eight or more in that time though, and that is excessive to a damaging degree if done weekly. Maybe you used the term “to excess” more as a stylistic flair to an internet comment, but it draws to my mind the latter scenario more than the former. I do think it’s very interesting that you gave a time frame instead of a drink count, which is the more typical measure of how much one drinks.

      I’m thinking Saturday or Friday night, early evening, finishing at bedtime. I often meet friends on one of those days, and we do get drunk. I should probably add that I’m Scottish. It’s pretty normal where I’m from. I’m not saying it’s good for you (it definitely isn’t).
