Addict!

While reading Lippincott, I have come to realize that I am guilty of three types of drugs of abuse: nicotine, caffeine and alcohol. The acute lethal dose for nicotine is 60 mg, or about 10 sticks/day. Thankfully, I have cut down my nicotine to about 4 sticks/day so I’m still safe. Hehehe… Just trying to look for an excuse to smoke.

As for coffee, I have began to develop an increased tolerance for caffeine and am now to 4 cups/day. Thankfully, lethal dose is about 12-15 cups/day or about 25-50 mg/day, wherein one will start experiencing tremors and the like. I mean, seriously, who in his right mind will drink 12-15 cups of coffee in a day?… Darn, I digress. Moh takes his one cup nga pala using one 25 mg pack per cup. Hahaha…

And finally we move to alcohol. For males, it is considered healthy to take 2 bottles of alcohol/day, for females, 1 bottle will do. Since my friends and I only go out during the weekends, we’ll try to catch up our missed out daily alcohol requirements by taking at the most 7 bottles of alcohol during Saturday nights. Hahaha… Talk about shocking our liver and abusing all those cytochrome P450s. Hehehe…
