    I am wondering how much is to much? I drink 2-3 bottles of wine in the course of a week now does that sound like a lot?

    I drink one or two beers* most evenings and am quite paranoid that it is too much. According to drinkaware it is anyway....


    *problem is that they are craft beers which can range from 1 to 5 units per bottle! :eek:

    Most weeks I'd have 6-10 litres of strong-ish beer. Others I'd have about 12-18 cans of Dutch Gold. If I'm drinking twice I could probably hit about 15-20 litres. I've cut down a lot in the last while.

    Maybe he goes out on the lash 3 times a week and drinks 10 pints...or twice a week and drinks 15 (roughly). A lot of people do that.


    I don't drink very much, the occasional night out (maybe once a month) and maybe a glass of wine a week otherwise, if even that.

    2-3 bottles* on a Thursday night.

    Same again on Saturday night.

    More if I go out at the weekend.

    But not getting out much anymore.

    I would drink a similar amount. And not 4 and 1/2 pints a day, more like 30 over the course of a weekend. Not all of us in this country drink responsibly you know :rolleyes: And yes I do have a drinking problem

    I typically drink a shoulder of vodka on Saturday. If it's a special occasion I might drink a bottle of JD.

    If I'm just having pints I rarely drink more than 2 or 3.

    i'd easily go through that during the second half of a football or rugby game (first half usually 2-3)

    last weekend for utd/liverpool game i only managed one first half (hungover from night before) but once that was done and i had the taste i was on the batter for rest of the day having 5-6 a match for 3 matches!

    8-10 cans once or twice a week, usually twice, cut back loads recently, feel all the better also :)

    Trying to lay off it (have been saying this for years), but on a normal week these days, might have about 8-12 pints or 500ml cans or mixture of both on a Friday, similar on a Saturday, and then try and ween myself off with 4 or 5 on a Sunday. Thursday kicks off sometimes too, 8 pinters are common. So about 30 pints a week.

    The recent weeks have been a lot better though, really going to try not to drink tonight, have not had a drink since Saturday. And yes I know I have a drinking problem.

    Its a bad sign when, stuck for a mixer for vodka, you use the syrup from a can of fruit cocktail!

    Ya, I really stooped that low one night, in my days as a student in the holylands of Belfast.


    Man, I miss those days!

    Couch pulled out on to the actual street on a really warm day, lads pucking a hurling ball up and down the street, Pogues blaring out of the stereo, and some scantily cladded girls neckin alcopops.

    Stupid time always pushes on though, and next thing you know your a responsible (debatable) adult!

    Gradually reduce the amount of mixer you use and you'll find yourself drinking straight, or near straight, vodka.

    You'll still use a bit of mixer most of the time but when there's no mixer available you won't need one and you certainly won't resort to syrup :P.

    Plus it's cheaper.

    Reminds me of Paddy's day 2 or 3 years ago, good times.
