Attention Beer Drinkers : How much beer do you consume and do you ...... - Page 3

How much beer do you consume and do you or have you ever had kidney stones.I don't know, it has been said and rumored that a few beers now and then helps flush the kidneys out.

I ask this because I just had my 2nd bout with these basturds this week and currently feeling like a 3rd bout is nearing .

I use to drink for 15 years, a social drinker, but know to tie one on from time to time. Never had any problems with kidney stones. Keep in mind I was younger, age 17 - 32 during this time.

Now for the last 15 years, really the last 5 years, I have had 2 bouts with this.

Some of the members here know I gave up drinking from our annual get togethers with the foundation, but I telling ya, something has to give.

I sent my daughter after some beer....... Like I said.....Something has to give.

I suspected it, rumors and tall tales.........

I use to drink soda pop daily, 3-4 cans per day until after the 1st bout, 5 years ago. Then I switched to water, I thought I had it whipped.

Then I started this heavy dose of vitamins, supplements and workouts to lose weight, hoping that the less load to carry will help the old body out.

I have a hunch it's too much calcium, 1 tablet per day plus what comes along with a multi vitamin and other food intakes. Not only plan on cutting it out which I have, I think I will study the intake of others I'm taking and see if the body is getting too much other vitamins.

Right now, I'm just weak, no strength to workout and hurt so much all over, bad back,bad knees, bad feet arches. From the chest down, I need new parts.

BTW, the 2 beers last night after 15 years lit a charge in my head. Damn, it has been 32 years since that shit has ever happened.

I go out about once a week and have 6 or 7. But, I drink huge amounts of water. No stones yet.

Course I am 25 so this info probably isn't helping you

Roy, with the vitamins you're taking your calcium/magnesium balance is probably out of wack. More info here:

P.S. I love good beer, and enjoy one or two with food or football every chance I get...but never drink more than 3 imperial pints (20oz) a day, and seldom drink more than a 12 pack a month. Has more to do with controlling my expanding waistline than my kidneys, tho.

Hey, you've inspired me. Haven't had a brew since St. Patty's Day. Might rectify that later on.

I've been drinking pretty heavy for about 12 years now, I'm 27, and I havn't had stones yet. I've had some other problems but that's not what your asking.

No stones here.
