How much do you drink?

Vanhalla

Just wondering what would people drink in a week on average?
me, 6 beers 2 nights a week, sometimes that would be at home.

UrbanSea

With college,due to a recession,I'd have about 6 cans of bavaria,or the 8 pack if I have enough,about 3 nights a week. If I'm out at home,with money,I'd have 6 heineken before heading out and 2-4 more pints.

Benny Lava

A shoulder of pissy vodka and then usually one bottle or a shot inside the club.

shrubs

7 or 8 pints and 1or2 bottles of whiskey depending on how often I go out

viper.10

could easily have 2-3 bottles of lager a couple of times a week at home and the odd time im out then 6-8 pints then have a few vodkas/whiskeys

Steyr

6-8 Bottles of Kopparberg or Rekorderlig Mixed Fruit on a night out. If i stay in its 3 of either of them and a Pizza.

i think i have a problem listening to ye . ( but i dont really )

on a normal week

2 pints on a tuesday and thursday
friday 7- 10 pints
sat 5-8 pints maybe 5-6 whiskeys ( i dont do bombs any more )

i dont be drunk or hungover though as they are spread out over the day

Three Sheets

2 glasses of wine per month on average and the occassional thimble-full of liqueur.

magicianz

Last weeks count was 8 pints and about 1.2 litres of spirits (mainly rum).....good 2 days there xD

quiz

If you have a heavy month do you find yourself fatigued for the best part of the next month?

i would get through a bottle of red most nights

Sometimes switch for 4-6 cans

Is that too much??:eek:

Mackman

Depends on whats on. Last two weekends i had day sessions on the saturdays, had about 20 bottles of miller each day. I hadnt done that in years. Im still tired

If its a quiet week, ill have 2/3 on a friday night, and a 6-pack on a sat night. Never drink during the week. Just feels weird to me.

At last, a drinker. I dont feel so bad now.

* In the local maybe 6 times per week ( just to be sociable of course), and if i'm not, then tinnys at home. Midweek maybe 4-5 pints. Weekends..... well just add a few

here.from.day.1

On average I might go out every two weeks. When I do its a 6 pack of Corona and a Ninja Nagin.

UrbanSea

Had a half bottle of whisky and four cans last night. Didn't manage to make it into town,but woke up in bed this morning not knowing how I got there,with a huge cut on my forehead and I think I may have broke my wrist.

coughlan08

rorymcgrory

10 -14 pints of stout on nite out ( about one a month)

Don't drink at home

Flygimp

Enough to get chucked out of after hours in 5 posts... whilst being morally judged by some wet towel avenger with
10,000 posts... I mean 10,000 posts... f*ck me does he live in his mom's basement on a strict diet of TV dinners, whilst wearing a 'I shagged Sharon Ozbourne T-shirt'... has he ever held a girls hand... has he ever bathed his albino-like skin in sunlight?

grenache

Between going out on a college nite and staying in at weekends, weekly i would drink on average 10 pints and half a bottle of vino.

Whiskey Devil

Way too much..

4-5 cans or a bottle of Red/White most week nights..
12 pints and a couple of spirits on a weekend night out.. or something similar if I stay in..
Sunday can be a long day.. but I've started leaving it 'til Sunday evening/night now.

God, putting it in print, I'm gonna be a gonner..

The 12 pints is far too much for me but I might have you beat

However... every 2 days (sometimes every two weeks i'll go drinking one day and the next) I have anywhere between a naggin with 4/5 cans. 7-10 cans or if it's just a light night, just a half bottle of a spirit, usually Southern Comfort. Sometimes I get a full bottle and drink about 2/3rds and then leave the rest for the second day with a naggin.
Oh cans are 500ml ones.

Yes I'm an alcoholic but I don't give a damn.

Don1

NO more beer for me. Long term medication that cannot be mixed with it, not even a little bit. *sigh.
Not that I was a massive drinker but I love a nice Weissebier.

Black Swan

Varies from week to week. Too much if partying. Sometimes a pint or two while watching a football game on weekends. Like a glass of wine with dinner on occasion. There are weeks when I don't drink at all.

Usually all of it, whatever's got....going to do some serious drinking this weekend. Going to Thomand on Saturday and I'm making a weekend of it.....:D

distraction

on a good weekend (4days) two crates of cheap 5% beer. I'm not fussy...as long as it comes in multiples of 24

shrubs

Put in a decent(if slightly worrying) week this week! 5 nights, 17 pints,4 bottles of beer and 51 shorts(that I can recall). Could be slightly more than recommended...

admiralofthefleet

very little now caompared to just a year ago, once maybe twice a week and nowhere near the excesses of before

trout

Think quality, not quantity :cool:

ANXIOUS

I have cut down a huge amount in the past six months. In the first half of this year it would easily have been 15pints of cider and a huge amount of vodka and shots a week.

Ive cut that back in the past month to 8pints of guinness and 1.5 long neck bottles with my dinner last night. I really feel the better for it. I however do go mad the odd time still, so need to leesen the frequency of them.

Firehen

It really depends for me.

Some weeks, I'll have a couple of heavy nights which would be 10 or so beers with a few shorts, and possibly another more moderate night.

Sometimes, though, I could go a few weeks without touching a drop (bar the occasional beer or glass of wine at home).

It really depends on my social and work schedule and how much disposable income I have at that time.

mcw92

Going to college, id have about 8 cans of bavaria in the house...then 2 or 3 double vodkas in the nightclub, maybe more depending on money situation. Do this about 3 or 4 times a week.
I LOVE College!!:D

locomo

6 pints with the class from college is nice, problem is at that stage a seventh pint is nicer ...and so on. 30 to 40 units a week when I can afford it ( which is not every week ).

cizolin

Had bout 9 pints of murphays while flinging darts on monday night. On a proper session too much alcohol

Ronan Raver77

Probably twice a week..once at home 8 cans or so watching football/tv..when im out on the lash i go mental 10-14 pints and a few shots thrown in...:eek:

with regards to the irish language dying out - i couldnt give a fiddlers about it, its a worthless language and a complete waste of time in schools.

same goes for irish music

We definately need more people like you hanging out in this forum. Why don't you crawl back under your rock in the non drinkers club. :P

Benicetomonty

On a night out, if I start in the pub and stay there, I'd rarely drink more than 5 or 6 pints. It helps that I'm an absolute light-weight!

Have taken to the odd bottle of red with the better half however, usually with dinner. A few bottles or pints on top of that and I'm nicely langered!

Having said all that, stag party coming up in a couple of weeks, things tend to get out of control. Doesn't help that I'll be drinking with men who put them away like..well, like Irish Catholics.

stevejr

Ì'd probably have 4 cans of 5% + Zywic 5 nights a week, enough to send me off to bed happy:pac:

Hate pubs as ya get fleeced.

Don't understand non-drinkers posting in this forum, are they on here to feel all superior or something?:confused

Oliver1985

Ive cut down big time now lately put normally 4 beers during the week and then saturday night around 15 pints of guiness :eek:

Same

ihatetractors

Bout every two weeks, 6 cans,1 naggen of cappy morgan, 3-6 more pints, 1-5 shots preferably tequila

UrbanSea

I'm class lads I'm a heavyweight.
About 12 nights a week I'd have between 15-20 pints of vodka and a keg of guinness. It gets me a bit tipsy but I pull all the birds so it doesn't matter

djfitzerjnr

I'm in college, but in my latter years so can't go out as much, but when I do go out, 1-2 a week, sometime 3. the lads + I buy a 70cl vodka each, drink half of it, then bring out a sneaky naggin with us, and then maybe one or doubles out with the naggin. so just under a 70cl a night really.

At home, it depends, if we're going for 'quiet pints', I'll have anywhere between 2-7, depends on time really. If there's an event on such as a 21st, have a few cans at the house first, as everyone does and generally close friends will meet up at the birthday house first, have a few drinks and a meal, then off to the pub where its a few beers and then onto spirits for the wee hours. Brandy lately, was whiskey.

jkell061

I'd rarely take a pint during the week. But if i take a few friday night, then it would probably be 10ish (pints Harp), which turns saturday into an all day binge, 15-20 pints, and sunday the same. Catastrophic!!

This use to be my run of the mill every weekend, it has toned down substantially from that, but they come around every so often, probably as well I dont have the money I used to.

The thoughts of the money blown on drink haunt me!!

politicsdude

too damn much

MarkR

It's clear I need to drink more.

Cavehill Red

Probably too much whiskey, adequate amounts of wine and insufficient beer or cognac.
