title_body: Health Effects of Drinking Slowly
upvoted_answer: I would have to guess that the health effects are very different.  The kidneys will have a tougher load to process with 1 beer/10 min/day versus  1 beer/8 hours/day.  2 beers or 96 beers a day using awake time of 16hrs.
  So you would have Drunk, overloading the kidneys and liver, along with withdrawal symptoms if you stop for a couple days.  The 2 a day can also give withdrawal symptoms if you do this for awhile and then stop for a couple days.  I currently have a patient who for the most part drinks 2 a day, and is having withdrawal symptoms.
  Obviously the more per day will have more bad effects.
