If you're doing full strength brews your looking at 12 to 15 odd standard drinks. A binge is (according to the meddico types) 10 or more standard drinks.

Tell your doctor! He'll have a fit of course! In the mean time, have a read of these and then make your own decision;

happy reading.

alcohol is used as a preservative yes?

Well surely it can only keep the liver in top notch condition?

i'll be damned if the government or phsycologists that i frequent can convince me otherwise! :)

As for buying two fermenters, why not get three?
