How many alcoholic drinks do you consume a day?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How many alcoholic drinks do you consume a day? (Page 1 of 3)

A sales rep for one of my suppliers came in today and said tomorrow will be 30 days sober for him. He said he was drinking at least a 12er a day minimum. I used to be a social drunk, and would be drunk 5 nights a week. Now I only have a few drinks a year. It wasn't getting in trouble or anything, it just got boring and I would rather spend my money on guns and other fun stuff. It got me thinking, how many alcoholic drinks do you consume a day?

Sometimes one or two.

I gave up beer entirely (mainly) because it made me feel bloated and burp constantly. I still like wine but like you said, why spend money on that?

After a particularly hard day, I might have one. Sunday I'll probably have three in the afternoon.

Never saw the appeal in getting stupid drunk.

2 1/2 Months at Zero drinks....used to be 6-8 daily

I usually have about 2 drinks 4 or 5 days per week (not even enough to get drunk, especially when it's the crappy Corona lights the woman gets), 1 or 2 days nothing, and one night (fri/sat) I'll drink quite a few. Some weeks I'll drink a couple every night, other weeks I won't drink at all.

I don't get the proud accomplishment of depriving yourself of something you like. Instead of 12er a day, maybe he could just drop down to 1 or two a day, some days maybe none. Or maybe if he wants to get crazy on New Years Eve, he could have 3!

If he has the self control to stop drinking completely, it shouldn't be a stretch to cut the drinking down.

Oh well, it's a "disease", guess it can't be anyone's fault.

1-3 beers/drinks every 6 months

sometimes longer, I could easily go the rest of my life without alcohol.

My goal is four this afternoon.

106 degrees here today.

I like my beer like I like my women, cold and bitter.

I used to in my immature youth, but then I figured out that it was really expensive and I really wasn't doing anything that was in the least bit productive.

I dont drink everyday, but say 4 days a week I will have one, two, sometimes three pops.

Some days a six pack...some days none. Just depends on what's going on and what I want to do. I've gone months without a beer and not thought about it, some days I look forward to a couple of cold beers. YMMV.

I've slowed down a lot in the past several years since I've been a little less of a regular at the bar. I don't drink at all most days. But when I do, it will either be one or two, or like 14 beers and 10 shots, depending on how the night goes. Sometimes it's not good to be a short walking distance from the coolest bars in town.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:13:12 PM EDT

I have a single drink maybe once every two weeks or so.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:13:22 PM EDT

[#16]

maybe an alcoholic beverage a week. If that.

I quit drinking in Feb, 2010.

I was drinking a lot of beer on a daily basis before then.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:13:44 PM EDT

Enough to make life tolerable.

(drunk Friday and Saturday night most of the time, maybe a drink or three on Mondays and Tuesdays from the leftover weekend supplies)

Only time I drink anymore is at family functions or when some friends and I go to the bar and play pool, so meh.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:16:06 PM EDT

14-18 piss beers a day.

I'll have 2-3 fingers of scotch about once a month or so, usually with a good cigar.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:19:44 PM EDT

[#22]

I don't drink, just because

I have a drink every couple months. Last time I drank was when Bin Laden got killed.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:21:17 PM EDT

[#24]

During the week, none unless there is a work thing. On the weekend, maybe 3 not even enough to get a buzz.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:21:39 PM EDT

[#25]

I'll have to answer after I mix another drink.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:22:39 PM EDT

[#26]

I rarely drink at home. I'll go out for dinner a couple times a week.

I usually have 2 or three drinks (usually beer) with my meal.

I average a 6 pack of beer and a few shots a night.

Poll fail no "87"

What is this alcohol you are talking about?

As you can guess, my answer is zero ( by choice, I REALLY dislike it and have seen to many drunk idiots pissing themself )

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:29:06 PM EDT

[#31]

4~5 a night.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:32:36 PM EDT

I have a glass of wine maybe twice a month or so. Used to drink in the Army 20 years ago, rarely to drunkenness, but stopped when I got out (no problems, just didnt have the same social context to drink in). Since then, its just not been appealing to me.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:35:06 PM EDT

[#33]

Poll is skewed. Shouldn't include 0 in the same selection as 3.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:36:58 PM EDT

[#34]

There is no appropriate answer there for me. I usually do not drink during the week and will get drunk onw night per weekend, a little tipsy the other night. Probably 14 drinks over the weekend. I guess if you average this out, I fall in the 0-3 per day category.

Good for you, keep it up.

We just had a baby so I usually have 1 or 2 per night during the work week then I like to relax more Fri/Sat and if I don't have a hangover Sunday I will have a few in the afternoon but I am typically sweating it out mowing or working on something. My lazyboy got tossed along with my independence lol.

I'll drink 2-5 times a year with 2 drinks at most during each one of those times. The army wanted to know if I wanted to seek counseling for my drinking problem.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:44:17 PM EDT

I drink maybe once a week.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:45:32 PM EDT

Like once every two weeks or so. So that's 1/14th a day?

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:45:41 PM EDT

0 drinks in 12 years.

Maybe because you were so far below the average, they were concerned about you.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:48:18 PM EDT

0 during the week and 0 during the weekends I am on call... I get out 2 Saturday nights a month if I am lucky, and I usually make up for the other 28 +/- days of the month

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:50:40 PM EDT

[#42]

I usually have maybe one a month. Never cared much for it.

It varies. Sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, sometimes nada.

I drink when I'm in the mood.

Posted: 8/12/2011 1:53:43 PM EDT

[#44]

On the average - zero.

Posted: 8/12/2011 2:05:36 PM EDT

[#45]

Beer (or a whiskey, or wine) with dinner usually.

Sometimes, especially on the weekends, I'll have a little bit more. An ice cold beer is fucking awesome with bacon, eggs and potatoes. Only rarely do I get drunk, and I've never gotten drunk enough to get hungover or sick.

A lot of folks have totally different ideas of what "drinking" means. For many, drinking means "getting drunk". For others, it means enjoying a beverage. These two groups typically can't ever see eye-to-eye to the issue on drinking, as the folks that only ever drink to get drunk can't relate to the folks that don't drink to get wasted.

I drink approximately 0.21 alcoholic beverages per day.

...that is, 1 or 2 per week or so.

Posted: 8/12/2011 2:21:25 PM EDT

[#47]

Less than 12 a year.

Posted: 8/12/2011 2:21:55 PM EDT

[#48]

Most days, just one or two. Every once in a while, I like to really tie one on.

Before I got married, I was a drinking sumnabitch. A 12 pack and a bottle of Stoli a night. I got hitched and quit that stupidity.

Posted: 8/12/2011 2:22:38 PM EDT

[#49]

Less than one

Posted: 8/12/2011 2:23:25 PM EDT

[#50]

I figure about 1 per month.
