Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight. The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos: www.nbc.com/.../erik_before1.jpg www.nbc.com/.../erik_finale10.jpg Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

  • Well, I would opine that anything over 2 drinks per day would be excessive. I have been known to drink more than that, sometimes within a half hour, but that is quite rare. I don't think that an occassional drunk fest is going to kill you but drinking a six pack or a bottle of wine a night is bound to have some ill effects on one's body. I think that's probably right, although it depends somewhat on age, size, sex, health and how fast you drink. But I know an awfully lot of folks having a couple of glasses of wine every night ... They aren't all flyers.
