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.
Cheers,

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;

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?
