Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I've been trying to evaluate how much I drink compared to others...... go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phrophus Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I drink daily. Generally from the time I get off from work till I go to bed or maybe a little before I go to bed. On the weekends, I generally start drinking in the early afternoon and stop when I go to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members this is paul Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Id imagine society views "normal" as 1-3 drinks with dinner or going out. And maybe once a week at that. I personally drink a lot less now, maybe 1-3 beers once every week or two on a Friday or Saturday. I used to drink Friday/Saturday nights and have probably 6-8 beers.

Members SnowStorm Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I don't drink every night. If I do, it starts to bring me down. If I am drinking on a weeknight it's usually 2-3 beers. On the weekends if I'm getting drunk it's about 8-10 beers. Going past that amount gets me uber-drunk unless it's been spread out over a long time. It's usually 8-10 beers over about a 3 hour period. I usually probably drink 2 weeknights and one weekend night hard. Still all hard to gauge this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely depends on the society. Southern Louisiana is pretty fond of drinking, and most people I know have at least one drink a day. Most of my friends have a few more than that every day.

Members duncan Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I usually have 1-2 beers or 1-2 glasses of wine once or twice a week. I probably go out for 3-4 pints of beer once or twice a month. I don't think I drink much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Miter Gauge Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think a glass or two of wine a night is normal. I drink a bottle or two of wine a night soooo roughly 4 times what I'd consider normal. My liver and I aren't on speaking terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ron Burgandy Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I hit the bourbon most nights. When I get home from picking up my kids I'll make a bourbon and coke. Sip throughout the night. Not sure or care where that fits. A couple times a month I'll have two bourbon and cokes. I gave up beer for the time being. Bored with it.

Southern Louisiana is pretty fond of drinking, and most people I know have at least one drink a day. Most of my friends have a few more than that every day. I came back in to say that. When I lived in AZ there was a lot more drinking. My brother knew a family who would have over there friends and everyone would bring there kids (3-8 years old). Then the parents would get absolutely plastered and stay til 3am Here in Chicago it's a little different. But at 27 I still have a lot of friends that go hard every weekend. It's just not for me anymore. A few years ago i'd consider myself an average weekend bar type. 8 beers or so was a pretty common # then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Charlie_Sheen Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 a beer or two, or a glass of wine or two most nights. once every week or two i'll go big and have 5 or 6 in a night. normal is relative so that part doesn't really matter.

Members paul88lx Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I drink a few beers a day. Quantity is not a issue for me. Consistency is. Of course, I grew up and still live in a very "wet" town. So our social drinking is your alcohol poisoning. We're definitely a outlier here.

Members metalguy Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 On average about every other weekend. Amount varies if I'm driving or have a place I can crash or at a place I can crash.There are times where I'll drink every weekend casually then stretches where I'll drink heavily Just depends on if there is a special occasion or if we just feel like having a good time. Weekdays only for MNF or TNF really. On occasion I'll meet a buddy for a beer or 4 but not very often we both got work and he has a wife on his case.I'd imagine thats average.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I drink on weekends only.... about 8-10 beers between Fri/Sat. I don't drink any other alcohol except I occasionally drink whiskey. But beer is my main thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrelusive Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 For a while there, i was finishing a fifth of whiskey every few days. It wasn't making my life any better said, '{censored} that.' Went back to the few beers every couple days. I had built up a huge tolerance and so i got bored. Luckily for my liver and i, I was recently prescribed a medication for something totally unrelated. One of the side effects is that i barely feel the effects of alcohol (if i feel em at all). I tested this by drinking 3 or 4 shots of whiskey in a somewhat rapid succession two hours after taking my medication. Felt nothing. Boring. Haven't had any alcohol since. This is really gonna test my "I drink beer for the taste" argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
