Probably anything more than 5 to be honest. But even if you only had 3 a day thats still 21 pints a week which is bound to do some damage.

Some people can handle more than others.. depending on whether you drink regularly, size, age etc.

I'm 14 and I reckon if I had about.. 10 pints I'd be on the floor.

For a man its 28 units a week. A can of lager 500ml has about 1.5/3 units depending on the strength of it. For a woman in it 21 units a week.
I have been doing a project on this and I was amazed how much damage too much alcohol does especially that it make people depressed even if they don't
think they are heavy drinkers. The physical damage can be terrible for heavy drinkers.

It varies on the person. Adults can obviously handle more though.

depends how much you drink really.

If you've hardly ever drunk before, and then you go somewhere and drink 24 cans then you're probably gonner be on the floor, whereas if you drink most weekends (and have for a while) and you drink 24 cans then you can (just about) walk home and still remember what you did the last night without throwing up

also other things affect it like if I go out on an empty stomach i dont feel drunk after ive had a few but i just feel like i cant drink anymore, same if im tired etc etc. if you drink pints in a pub then the alchohol is always stronger there too

If you mean in terms of units etc i don't have a clue how many you're supposed to have a week before it damages your liver and stuff mainly cos I don't worry about that as I could live my life perfectly healthy and then get hit by a bus so why worry :p
