I have 2-4 beers every day. Is that too much? How do you know how much is too much?
when you wake up in a different sate chained to a goat wearing a wedding dress and you think, "I can pull off this lace!"
I'm not clear on this. Which involved party is wearing the wedding dress?

A pretty open sort of question ... a lot of possible answers.
If you EVER smell of ammonia (as in, through your pores) ... you are drinking too much and your liver is basically at about defcon 4.
Your liver is so taken up with processing the alcohol related effects that it can't free up the processing power to get the major deadly toxin, ammonia, out of your body properly.
ever wear a wedding dress or a goat? what are you doing this weekend?
As long as you're not waking up hungover every day, blacking out, missing work, and pissing off your loved ones you're probably fine.
Many endurance athletes would probably disagree with this statement. If your carb to proteins intake is out of balance it is not unusual to smell of ammonia after a long exercise session...
which reminds me: if you use ammonia in your cocktails "for a little kick", pass one over son!I am aware of that effect (I am a runner and run on average 16 to 25 miles per week and am fairly familiar with running science). Yes, burning muscle mass for energy will create ammonia and can cause an ammonia smell.
Hopefully those "disagreeing endurance athletes" you cite would note the topic of the thread ... and that my statement is specifically within the context of over-drinking.
If a person is a chronic over-drinker and concurrently and consistently smell of ammonia, they have a problem.
And potentially a serious problem. Impaired liver function.
My warning stands.
If you feel you need to dispute such advice by splitting hairs with an exception about endurance athletes ... have at it. You are right, there are certainly other problems besides over-drinking ... liver problems, kidney problems, exposure to other toxic substances, burning muscle mass for energy, that can cause ammonia toxicity.
You and your endurance athletes are free to ignore my statement.
For everyone else who is keeping an eye on drinking too much, if they smell of ammonia, they ought to take serious notice.
(btw: to be clear ... no, I'm *not* offended by your point ... it's just that, considering the seriousness of the topic, I find your comment to be extraneous and argumentative.)

Don't worry. Your wife will tell you...
