4 to 6 times a year, which are typically special events/dinners with friends.

I regularly drink once a month or so 'regularly' or 'sometimes'?

Doesn't matter, I chose sometimes.

Twice a day. LOL. Just woke up, having a watermelon Fourloko and some crackers with horseradish sauce. My life is a bit different though.

About every other weekend I'll drink a twelver of craft stuff or 18-24 regular. Over Friday and Saturday. I'm probably an alcoholic.

Not often enough.

Normally 2-3 a month, but some meds I'm taking are elevating my liver enzymes, so now it's more like 1 every 4 months. I figure my liver has enough to worry about.

beer a night

many more on the weekends

I used to drink every day, a mix of beer and hard liquor. That started getting old, so I've cut back. I havent bought a bottle of hard liquor since the beginning of Feb, and usually only drink 1 day on the weekend if I go out. I dont really drink at home anymore except a beer or 2 every once in a while.

ETA: I still tear it up when I go out though. Plus I'm going camping with friends this weekend, and its supposed to rain 2 of the 3 days, so the sky is the limit.

Quit about 8 years ago. Probably had 3-4 beers and a glass of wine since.

You could probably count them on one hand in a year

Nights that I'm not on shift, I drink 3 fingers of Kentucky Whisky after I get everyone in bed and the chores done.

Never drink during the day, in front of my kids, or get drunk.

I do rarely have a drink or a beer out with the wife.

I always enjoyed it, I just don't like the way it makes me feel now. There is some med I'm on that makes me feel like shit when I drink so I almost never do. Like maybe once a year and even then just a few beers at the most.

Not I. Allergic to the stuff.

Not addicted, but drink enough that I've paid a very heavy price for it, which I didn't realize until very recently.

Posted: 5/26/2017 8:46:17 AM EDT

Probably 7-10 beers a week. Normally a beer or two after I get home from work.

I quit back in Jan. Got tired of drinking and getting fat. Since quitting, I have dropped about 40lbs and am way more active now.

So far 8% admit they are addicted and 32% are addicted but are in denial

I spent a week in Tokyo once. One of the things I can't forget is seeing scores of salarymen in suits sleeping on the subway steps at night. Not sure if drunk or just trying to score an extra hour of sleep by skipping the commute home.

Used to get drunk just about every night, now I'll have a couple of drinks once, sometimes twice a week. Sometimes I'll go for a few weeks without, and every now and again I'll have a few more than that on a Friday night if I am out with friends.

I like Scotch but only drink it ~ once a month.

Dont drink near as much as I did.

pretty much this, but mostly just fridays and saturdays unless I'm at the deer lease or something.

I had a beer a few nights ago and before that I think the last time was in March. I very rarely drink now because I don't need the extra calories, it costs too much to drink every night (which I inevitably will do), and I feel like a turd drinking every night with my three year old asleep upstairs.

I used to have a beer or 2 on the weekends, but now I really need a good reason to do it. I've got 2 little boys under 2, a stay at home wife and too many things that need to get done; Honestly, I can't afford to do it regularly. I have a weekend planned this fall to go away to the mountains, just the wife and myself. I'm sure we'll pair some quality beverages with quality food...Neither one of us really want more than that anymore.

Every day.

It's easy to go a week without. But the first thing I do when I stop not drinking is have a drink.

They can't even measure the miniscule amounts of blood in my alcohol stream.... seriously, a 6 pack or two a week, usually all at once.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:19:15 AM EDT

[#33]

A couple times a week.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:20:09 AM EDT

[#34]

3-5 beers per year.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:23:51 AM EDT

I usually drink socially. I do a lot of dinners ,receptions and cocktail hours with customers. In the past I have tried to keep up with them but not anymore. I might have a single glass of wine or maybe a single ranch water but that is pretty much it. If I have been on the road all week, I might have a couple drinks the evening when I return home but I do not make a practice of it anymore.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:25:11 AM EDT

[#36]

I drink a lot more now that I have a kegerator with 2 kegs of homebrew on tap.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:25:12 AM EDT

[#37]

I'll drink one day a week, usually Saturday. It might be just a couple beers fartin' around the house or a lot of beers watching movies, playing some vintage video games and fartin' around the house.

Every once in awhile me and my buddies will set up a fishing/camping trip and have a lost weekend. Same during hunting season.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:27:02 AM EDT

[#38]

Some weeks I'll have a drink or two (literally) 3-4 nights a week.

Lately I've had maybe one alcoholic drink every two weeks. Not intentional, I just haven't been drinking much.

I'm OK with that.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:30:19 AM EDT

[#39]

I'll drink a beer or two (or comparably intoxicating volume of hard liquor) a couple times a week, at most. I don't like being drunk, but I do like a light buzz/relaxed state.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:32:05 AM EDT

[#40]

I drink alcohol almost every single day. It takes about three pints and three shots to even catch a slight buzz.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:32:58 AM EDT

[#41]

12 pack of Lite on Friday, 12 pack of Lite on Saturday. Nothing Sunday through Thursday. Not sure if that makes me an alchoholic or not but that's what it is.

ETA: No hard liquor, some good German lagers when hosting a cookout and buy the good stuff or at German heritage events I go to.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:37:33 AM EDT

[#42]

Usually one beer a day when I get home from work. I also love tequila

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:38:13 AM EDT

[#43]

I never enjoyed it, last time I drank anything alcoholic was not long after I turned 21.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:39:12 AM EDT

[#44]

I keep a fifth of vodka in the freezer. I will sometimes go a month without any but will take a few shots here and there. A fifth will last sometimes a couple of months but on occasion I will drink one in a week.

I had 3 shots last night before bed because I had a sore throat.

Posted: 5/26/2017 9:40:47 AM EDT

[#45]

Sometimes a beer per day. Other times none for months.

Edit: during my divorce I was convinced that I was chemically addicted. Then I started getting in shape and happier. The desire to get drunk is all but gone unless it's a night out with my friends or a football game.

Posted: 5/26/2017 10:43:40 AM EDT

[#46]

Maybe 2 beers or Maker's a month.

Posted: 5/26/2017 10:45:56 AM EDT

[#47]

Haven't for over a year.

Posted: 5/26/2017 10:46:55 AM EDT

[#48]

daily

Posted: 5/26/2017 10:47:52 AM EDT

[#49]

Once every few weeks, but never more than 2 in a day. Got drunk once years ago and never again.

Also never drinking scotch again.

Posted: 5/26/2017 10:48:23 AM EDT

[#50]

If you average it out over the week/month/year, I probably have a drink a day.

Sometimes I'll go several weeks without one, sometimes a drink a night, sometimes 3 in one night, and on party/camping/off-roading/hunting/golf trip weekends I'll have like 20-30 a day.
