How much do you drink?

[Snookums]

No where near as much as I used to. I'm quite a poor excuse for a student nowadays, last year it was out 2/3 times a week and either a bottle of vodka a night or a crate of cider.

This year I've chilled out a lot and only go out once every fortnight or so. Still tend to drink too much though when I do. Saturday was the last night out and that was a crate of cider them maybe 4 drinks whilst out.

In summer it tends to jump up a bit cause I quite enjoy grabbing a cold cider or a nice glass of wine at an out door lunch or as a pit stop when out doing something in the day.

Tbh I could quite easily go without drinking at all but it's fun every now and then.

Honestly......

I don't tend to drink In the week due to my job and can't function hungover but Friday I can polish off a bottle of vodka easy every week and at 33 I can't remember the last weekend I didn't do this.



it's kinda like blowing off steam knowing I don't have any responsibility the next day...... And always seems to start as soon as I get home from work around 4pm lol

I've had a few sober weekends but they don't tend to last long but it doesn't spill into the week that often. I try to replace it with coffee but ends up being worse and can't sleep and coffee Judders all night and it's worse than being drunk lol.

This sounds like a weird sort of isolated alcoholism. The fact that you can't remember the last time you didn't drink a whole bottle of vodka on a Friday is quite worrying, but I suppose as long as it doesn't spill into the week then it's not really a big deal.

My drinking takes a different form to a few years back, less big heavy nights out but more drinking during the week either in the form of after work beers or a few drams of scotch in front of a film.

I am currently drinking about 3 pints of dark ale a night, on the off chance I have a few glasses of red wine.

I was curious, how much do you drink? be honest

Wow, that is gonna cause some serious health damage!

Don't drink, zero interest. Caffeine and coffee on the other hand...

 

[Bear]

I dont drink any alcohol at all, dont touch coffee at all and tea really about once or twice a week (loose leaf Darjeeling Oolong or White tea)

 

[arc@css]

A heavy year of drinking = about 4 - 6 units.

Gave up a number of years ago.

This month I've had a double Jim Beam.

The month before maybe had 2 ciders.

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

The rise of craft ale on supermarket shelves has done me in. Especially nice IPA.

Before it was kinda difficult to find a good quality IPA, so the temptation wasn't so great. Now..... gaaaaah

Think another 3 month detox is needed just to see how much money I save.

 

[Tefal]

not enough

 

[King4aDay]

I probably drink about 6 bottles of ale and a bottle of wine a week as a baseline, but have a bit of a binge about once a week or fortnight on top of that.

 

[Metallifux]

Occasionally a couple of bottles on a Thursday night, a pint with tea and a bottle of wine at home on a Friday. Saturday and Sunday can be similar but not always. Nothing the rest of the week.

 

[NooBish AbbZ]

None

Soooooo many people in here claiming they don't drink or hardly ever. This forum differently doesn't accurately reflect societies trends in that respect.

It depends with me. On average I'd say once midweek if we've got people over for dinner, where I'll have approx. a bottle of wine and several beers. Then either Friday or Saturday 6 to 8 pints. Depends really. Some weeks are way more than this, some are way less.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

2-3 pints on the way home from work with colleagues twice a week and a beer or glass wine during evening meals at the weekend with the wife/family.

 

[Spuj]

Some weeks I won't have anything, some weeks I might have a bottle of something like Corona or Estrella on a Friday night while gaming, or like the past weekend have a few more with friends at a BBQ. If I averaged it out over a month, maybe 6-8 bottles a month?

 

[Semple]

Quite a few mixed responses, and some quite surprising.

I don't often drink beer, but as i've been on holiday last week, and there was a special occasion last night, so i'd say over the last 10 days maybe 6-7 bottles/pints. Typically i'd say maybe 1 a month.

I do drink wine and spirits a bit more, tend to have maybe 2 glasses of red or white over the weekend, and less often a double shot of spirit late evening.

 

[XeNoN89]

Usually only drink on weekends. Usually just a few beers or ciders unless i go on a night out where I just get hammered on all sorts of spirits

 

[Andr3w]

It varies depending on what if we have guests etc etc. A standard week would be 4~ beers on each of friday/saturday/sunday!

Selective posting I would think.

I definitely drink more than is recommended. Mostly bottle of wine on Friday and Saturday with the wife, sometimes a second is opened. Sometimes a glass or two on a Sunday or a Thursday. I don't drink Mon-Wed at all.

I rarely go out but if I do it may be a big night. Also boys weekends away which are occasional (ski season and odd festival) will be big.
