In my book it is, it kills performance and awareness.
I work in a Pink Collar world, and the women around me uniformly deride those that drink too much; M&F. They also hate the male who calls after a few Barley Pops and wants a booty call. Now if a couple starts out drinking together that is a different story altogether. It still goes if a guy has had to many the Flagpole may not have the stamina desired. Just saying.
Beside 5 drinks is a lot of useless calories to consume in one sitting unless you are a marathoner or similar. Thin and in shape sells, beer bellies do not. Just saying
