How many units of alcohol do you consume a week?

A lot. Easily 29+.

Few beers a night, usually 6%+. A couple of drams. Then there's wine with dinner some nights. And then if I'm out, I'll likely drink at least 20 units. As I've always said, my liver is fine. I love alcohol, what can I say?

I've gone with 25-28. Some weeks over, some under. Last week was an 'over' week, as Saturday was a bit of an event :)
 
Picked a random one.

Some weeks I drink nothing, some I have teh odd one for a sporting event, other times I'll go out twice and drink about 30 units a night.

Generally not much though.
 
On average pretty much 0. I have to be a bit careful if I buy a box of beer that I actually get around to drinking it before the best before date.

Why would they be lying?

I'm sure a lot of people now enjoy a decent life without copious amounts of alcohol.

I actually enjoy a drink - I love wine, and a few spirits, and the occasional beer (mainly Guinness though). However, I just don't often drink - not because I'm making a statement or a point - just because I have different priorities to others, and I don't always get the opportunity to drink.

Nothing wrong with tee-totalling either, everyone has their own choice. I don't think I'd ever give up alcohol altogether, but I'd rather spend £100 towards a holiday, rather than on a night of drinking. :) That's not to say I don't enjoy a few boozy evenings, however, even if I do drink a few, I generally don't get off my face, I've only every been uber drunk a handful of times in my life, as I just don't find it pleasant. :)

Balanced and well reasoned responses aren't welcome here, you should know that by now :D
 
25-28 sounds about right, that's what happens when you drink wifebeater I guess. The calorific content has shocked me though, no wonder a 30 minute run 3 times a week does nothing for the beer belly :eek:
 
I really don't drink during the week but go out on a Friday night usually a case of Carling (1.8 units each according to side of can) and possibly a couple of shots so is about 24-26 units/week.
 
I can go weeks and months without drinking but then might have a blow out one evening. Drinking really doesn't bother me tbh..

41% so far on "no units". Surprising for such a boozy nation .
 
I'm personally quite surprised with the number of tee-totallers. Again, no issue with that but it seems to be extraordinarily high.
 
+1 to freefaller

Well put there middle aged chap.

Personally it wouldnt bother me at all if i didnt drink booze ever again. Sure i got 0 night life as everyone i know goes out clubbing and down the pub. But during the day when im not at work, im down the gym 4 times a week or out on my motorbike getting lost around the south west:)
It just annoys me a bit when people say i got no life, cause im not social. But im a very happy person who does his own thing, like a boss.
 
I enjoy the odd beer now, really as a treat. For the past year or so I've been really enjoying Mexican beers. I find the less beer I have the more I enjoy it when I do.
 
Friday nights I usually have a beer and a glass of wine, Saturdays I sometimes have 4-5 pints. Would say my average is less than 18 units per week.

Pretty good these days as when I was younger I did drink too much, few beers every night and party all weekend.
