Be honest, how often do you drink alcohol?
|
|
Four beers a night after lifting, before dinner. More on weekends, doctor says it's fine every year on annual checkup.
49 yo, 5'9" 163 lbs. 11% bfi I just like beer. |
|
Never, until the next drink.
Actually, close to never but every 10 years, maybe a toast...Somewhere between never and rarely. I checked never, though. |

What not option for I am a drunk and only alcoholic's go to meetings?? Now personally depends on the day at work. Some days none yet other I will just have a drink or to. Then damn that's tasty and wake up next day going damn didn't mean to drink that much. Other days after work I am getting fucked up no matter what. I will say I drink at home instead of driving so that is always a plus and saves a shit load of money. Except for this week at work. Been one of those.
ETA: Still drink a shit load less that my Boss and her husband that is me old boss. Yet I do go shooting with him and are planning on going shooting on Memorial Day with him. If he is sober enough to go shoot., |

Usually 2 beer after work.
Double that on weekends. So, probably 18-20 a week. I never get past a good buzz. (5.5-6% apv) Then I'll drink a bottle of water, and won't have another beer for a couple hours. I rarely will have more than 1 beer when I go out. |

Too much, part of the culture here. Funny to see business guys passed out and other things in the really busy part of the city.
Edited to add see |
|
I was daily (liquor), but doing keto now and want to drop a few pounds, so just weekends for now
|
|
3 times a week, so most of my days off, usually only one or two beers each time.
Maybe every other week I'll go out to drink with friends and will have more, usually around 6-8 beers with the occasional cocktail. I like beer, I don't think it's a problem. |
|
I wouldn't have ever considered myself an alcoholic but I used to drink quite a bit nearly every night.
A new diet absolutely wrecked my tolerance so I've only had a few small drinks here and there over the last couple months. |
|
3-5 a day. Sometimes if I'm not buzzing I'll slam a few mouthfulls of vodka before bed. Lately I wake up and I'll have a beer.
I have had pain on the lower right of my stomach above my hip and loose stoole for a few years now.. Had blood work and a few scopes done but they assure me I'm fine. Too much information I am sure. I really should stop. |

very, very rarely. Id even go so far as to say I've lost interest.
Reasons.. 1) First off is calories. I have fitness goals I am trying to meet by the end of October and I just simply do not need those extra calories. 2) Taste. With the exception of a wheat beer, Guiness, or unfiltered Amber type of beer, or maybe some wine, I generally just really do not enjoy the taste of booze at all. 3) Mental/physical affects. Mentally, even a little bit of booze makes me feel sluggish and unmotivated the next day. Physically, it leaves me feeling bloated and slow. IN other words I feel less than 100% and I do not enjoy that feeling. All of this, (for me anyway) is one of the aspects of getting old..20-30 years ago I drank a lot more..not as much as some by GD stds..but a lot more. |

I was drinking a 12 pack+ a day, every day.
I quit a month ago, no withdrawal, DTs, or cravings. Evidently I was a drunk, not an alcoholic. |
|
Probably 33% of my days off I have a couple of drinks. (I work 10 days a month) Probably 3 times a month I get pretty buzzed. Once a month I get full on drunk.
|
|
I clicked "rarely" but I'm way closer to "never." I just don't care for it.
|
|
Whenever I want.....which turns out to be maybe once a month.
|
|
I drink one beer a day. Occasionally I'll forget and have none, and once or twice a month I'll splurge, be totally irresponsible and have two.
|
|
I usually just have a few drinks once or twice a week after work. Beers or whiskey usually. Sometimes wine if I'm with a hottie
|
|
About once a week during summer. Very rarely, if at all, the rest of the year.
|
|
|
|
I'm drunk as shit right now, which occurs probably too often and will result in a skipped gym day tomorrow. My job sucks and I still get 4 good gym days a week so that's how I justify it.
|
|
Up to one or two drinks per week during the academic year (engineering, if that explains it). None during the summer. I spend my summers mostly alone, and I don't drink alone. Doing so has always struck me as indicative of something being wrong, as I generally consider drinking to be a social event, even if it's only my fiancee and I.

as much as i can, as often as i can i wish i was dead View Quote Heavy drinking is often a subconscious suicide move. Wine is fine but whisky's quicker... |
|
just remember denial is the first symptom
I don't buy drink when I want to. |
|
I put sometimes, it's normally a few mixed drinks one night every week-two weeks
|
|
|
Once every three months. Beer tastes better when I'm not drinking that stuff everyday.
