How much do you drink?

[Slink]

As I ant make a poll, Ill ask here.

how much do you drink alcohol?

every day?
every other day?
only on weekends?
or other?

and why do you drink that amount? do you just drink every day cause your an alcoholic, or just of weekends as a social thing?

I used to drink 4 pints of Stella every weeknight, more on weekends, and perhaps some wine or spirits if we went out for dinner.

Now I probably drink only 2 beers/week, and I've lost 17kg in weight over the last few months.

[Changedmyname]

Two or three times a week in the summer ,a lot less now.
8 cans of Bud midweek and a bit more at the weekends.

Other.

I am the binge drinker that the daily mail likes to write so venomously about. I'll have no alcohol for weeks or even months at a time then find myself crawling home on my elbows one Friday night.

[AmiableChimp]

Nothing for weeks on end, then i'll have a boys night out and usually consume around 10 Coronas, usually accompanied by a few Jaegerbombs.

I am the definition of binge drinker.

[Mr Trophy]

Accordingly to my Life Cover, very little.

[SpeedMattersNot]

About 6-8 cans a night.

0-3 cans if it's a school night.

[Caulkhead]

I'm 43 and have been tee-total for 43 years now!

It's not a religious or moral thing, I just don't really enjoy alcohol and value my driving licence so I've always decided none is the easiest number to stick to.

[Don1]

Yes please, as long as you're going to the bar anyway...

This for me too except not months but definitely a couple of weeks at the most.

Similar. Either 4 - 6 pints of an evening or a bottle of wine on average.

Friday and Saturday nights 8 - 10 pints or a couple of bottles of wine.

A bottle of wine a night?

[BrabusMog]

Regular week nights would usually be 2 or 3 pints down the local on the way in from work and on the weekend I wouldn't like to estimate but it's a lot, especially Saturday evening/night.

Zero

O/T I've never understood why some people boast about their copious alcohol consumption and getting incredibly drunk

You don't enjoy the taste of booze?

[DannyScene]

I have maybe 2 pints a month on a standard month however at works christmas do this lunch time I had 2 pints and am now suitably merry

[PoleDriver]

I used to have 2-4 pints every night then an additional 10-15 pints over the weekend.
This started as 2 pints per night to help me sleep but then escalated as I made more friends down the pub.
Then I went on a diet and cut beer out completely. I now drink a bottle of wine per night with an additional 2-3 over the weekend.

And I've lost over 5 stones!

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Perhaps a glass of red at the weekend. Maybe a bourbon whilst I'm watching Match of the Day. Never drink during the week. Never get drunk.

[Vieste]

4-8 cans during the week pub sat/sunday afternoon.

And I very rarely get drunk BTW...

I don't think it's big nor clever, and hence not boastworthy. Equally I don't see it as anything to be ashamed of.

Think we'll have to disagree on this one. I've never seen any good points about being drunk. OTOH I've seen plenty of bad points.
