Poll: Poll: How Many Units of Alcohol do you consume per week?

[LOAM]

Back in my late teens / early 20's we used to drop 10+ cans of Caffreys before we even went out. God only knows what my weekly intake was but I drank every night and for about a year alcohol was pretty much all I consumed and was my only real calorie source.

 

[Beasty]

Very rarely any.

 

[dekez]

1-4 for me normally, much more if I go out but that's not that often.

 

[Feek]

Averaged over a year, probably 0-1.

 

[TommyV]

probably 8- 10 units on average a week.

Will have weeks at a time I don't drink a drop. Then weeks where I'll go a bender on a saturday night and get bat **** crazy.

 

[Marky]

It varies for me. Some weekends me and my mates just hang out or do something else, and other times we go out and get rogered I imagine on a week where I don't go out clubbing it up, I'll have maybe one or two bottles of Cider. As I get older I'm drinking much much less. I drunk lots every weekend from when I was 18 till about 20. But now I don't do it half as much.

Jut above zero on average.

My yearly unit intake is probably in the region of 20-30 units.

 

[panyan]

0

Rarely ever drink these days.

+1

 

[Mr_Orange]

Most weeks it will be 0 but every now and then I'll have 1 or 2 pints at the local.

 

[shoes]

Rare drinker, and usually only a pint of 50/50 shandy when I do.

 

[PaulyD]

Varies for me, can be none in a week or could be a couple after work on the weekdays and a hefty night out on the Friday.

Voted 29+ personally

 

[semi-pro waster]

No drinking master race reporting in...

Are you expecting to see Ahleckz and DirtyJester telling us the scale starts too low?

I'm probably averaging a 0 per week for this year overall although it can vary wildly, some weeks I'll have a lot to drink and other times I won't have a drink for weeks or months.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

0 for me.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Hardly ever drink these days, i'm really not fussed anymore.

Will have the odd bottle of Corona every now and again and perhaps a whisky on special occasions.

 

[Begbie]

I put 10 but it seems 8 pints is MUCH higher than that! I do need to change my drinking habits

 

[Rybo89]

I have the odd beer every now and then.

The party days have gone for me now.

 

[ebilcake]

29+ for me, actually based on what I drank yesterday it would be around 30 units.

But I drink spirits mainly so I don't think it's that bad, not compared to most people I know who would probably do this in one night.

 

[TheMightyTen]

Too many liars in this poll and the only person they are lieing to is themselves

Me personally it varies but on average I'd say 9-12

 

[millsy888]

rare drinker nowadays. 1-4 units per week is enough.

 

[TJM]

It goes up and down. I think I've had about 30 pints this month (evenly spread over several evenings; no binges), but I haven't had any alcohol this week and probably won't do until Saturday.

A drinking buddy of mine, who is a senior IT guy at a major bank, goes through 4-6 pints at least six nights a week and often has a few glasses of whisky as a nightcap (by himself, at home); I've never seen him have a soft drink or even a glass of water. The calculator says he's on 20 units a day, so I guess liver failure is inevitable.
