Booze, weed, tv shows, dieting and now working. How healthy can it be, and who is it good for ? What the hell was wrong with moderation ? I watched four episodes of Dexter, nurse Jackie and Shameless Years ago. But four shows not nine or twelve. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

I don't think I've ever watched more than two episodes in a row. | |||

There's a huge difference between binging on heroin, alcohol or any other drug and watching Justified all the way through. So there's that. _______________________ “There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.” ― Frank Zappa | |||

Working hard is good for everyone. And when you get tired, you need a day with mimosas, bed, and 15 episodes of breaking bad. Work hard, play hard. You probably don't need smack tho. | |||

The term "binge" as applied to watching TV shows is of a playful nature and, if not combined with other harmful activities or neglect of responsibilities, is harmless. Binging on drugs, alcohol, even food (or, in the case of dieting, lack of food) is harmful, of course. I don't understand how one can "binge" on work, however. | |||

I'll be 70 in July and binge. The way I look at it there are no guarantees that you'll be waking up the next day. | |||

The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view |

I don’t get this “binge watching” TV thing at all Aren’t you turning it into work by doing that? I watch one episode, MAYBE two of a TV show and I’m ready to do something else or watch something else. Seems like way too much to me to sit all day or night and watch 5,6,7,8 episodes of a show. | |||

I’m sure someone will chime in with the obligatory “So what?” post, but as a matter of some possible interest, when I saw “binging,” I first thought it might refer to using a particular search engine too much. According to the Internet, the progressive or continuing tense of binge can be either binging or bingeing, but keeping the “e” is more common.

I was also wondering why people were using the Microsoft search engine to a degree someone would complain about. Amusingly, "whingeing" came to mind. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

This came up while talking at lunch, a short while ago. 12-14 hour work days is bizarre. Five of us knew four people that are doing this. One had an eating disorder, another had a pack and a half a day smoking issue, another is a lush and a half, and the fourth one a hoarder. And if they work four 12's in a row, They are pretty effen worthless for the next two days, as in Don't call them, don't email them , Don't plan on seeing them .
