That scale is tiny..

I added 8x bottles of Punk IPA (typically 2-3 a night for a handful of nights a week), then added 10x Carling for Thursday/Saturday and I was already on 37 units.

Quite often have a few glasses of wine too

This is not me trying to be an internet hardman :p, these are my average week, without really 'going out'

Although, some weeks = 0
 
Fluctuates for me. Some weeks its just a few glasses of wine on a weekend, but others it can be hammered. Example being last week, i was away at a conference, so probably did a bottle of wine a night plus beers for Tues/Wed/Thurs, then out with mates for beers (6 pints) fri night and a meal with the missus sat night (bottle of wine and couple of beers between us).
 
On average 1-4 at the most - doesn't sound like a lot, however I often go several weeks (sometimes months) without drinking any alcohol - so the average consumption is low. I don't binge drink either.
 
ex drinker here.... i dont have time for hangovers any more.... plus once i got into my 30s my hangovers lasted too long.

i still like the odd herbal ciggy on an evening though ;) you gotta have 1 vice!
 
In my younger years between 16 and 20 I would have drunk well over 29 units a week, now I am married with 2 young children I porbably have a drinking session 3 to 4 times a year

At christmas me and the family go out for a meal and ill have 2-3 pints then. Also my gran buys me 6 bottles of becks thats gotta last over christmas:p
On my birthday i go out for a meal and probably have 2-3 pints then aswell.
 
I am a bad person and I like drinking booze. I said 17-20 but on reflection it is probably the category below that most weeks at around 15.
 
In my younger years i drank well over 100 units a week. Didnt seem to be as much stigmatism with drinking back then (or health awareness), shocked me when i spoke to the doctor and 'fessed up, he was shocked i wasnt dead, but I was probably one of 10+ folks who drank that much each week (in my circle of friends, there were more in the rugby teams etc).

Going back 15yrs a weekly intake would be:

Mon - Thurs 4-5 pints a night. (say avg 14 units a night, so 56 units)
Fri - 10 pints and a good few shorts (around 46, 30 for the pints, 16 for the shorts)
Sat - 8 pints & loads of spirits (24 units + 24 for the shorts)
Sunday - afternoon sesh at the local so around 6-8 pints and have sunday night off the booze. (20 units)

So 170'ish units a week..............

I'm the same, but I drink so infrequently now the average would be below 1 unit per week.
 
Usually zero, but about one week per month on average I'll have a drink and go up to 18 units or so. On a work xmas party or something like that it'll rocket to 29+ though lol.
