It does, of course, depend on what you eat but sinkers are still healthy.

Poo is important.

What about colour? A rich brown seems healthy to me. Too dark or two light signifies imbalance in the diet or one having been on a bender.

Be careful is you're shit is black as there is either too much iron in your diet, have eaten a large quantity of black pudding in the last few days, you're bleeding internally or you've got an unhealthy amount of bismuth in your system (unless you're taking peptobismol of course, then expect it to be black).

Rich brown is fine, as is a greeny tinge. Worry if it is yellowy or black.

I can only have one or two pints, or I suffer the condition I call 'Temple Bowel'

After a heavy night on the sauce I can expect to have up to three dumps the next day. Usually as soon as I wake up my bowels are churning. It's not healthy dumps either, it's spray.

I'm so glad I read this forum at lunchtime.
