    IF THE ANSWER IS "NEVER," THEN REPLY SAYING SO. I forgot to include that option in the poll.

    Depends on the week.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭Sea Filly

    Depends whats going on.
    I could go a few weeks without anything or I could have a drink two or three nights a week.
    Trying to cut it back as much as I can though. Whether I drink a glass of wine or a bottle I seem to spend the next day with the runs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 919 ✭✭✭Pedant


    I drink zero nights per week on average. I'm a boring bastard. The last drink I had was a glass of wine at dinner about a month ago.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet

    If normal booze in small amounts gives you the squits then for pete's sake avoid bulmers pear. You'll shit your dick out.

    I'd say if I even held a bottle of that piss I'd be on the throne for a week.
    And I'd be afraid to fart for the rest of the year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭dd972


    drink about four nights a week, usually not much though, I'd rather have a couple of bottles of Paulaner than a load of sub quality Budweiser or Heineken, Beer Snob that I am

    i drink water every day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,381 ✭✭✭Skuxx


    Used to be about 1 or 2 nights at most down the local with herself or the lads, on a bit of a dry spell now, it's been 2 months since I was out last :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    I drink 3-4 times a week and usually get drunk on one of those nights. :cool:

    Whenever I'm out obviously so Friday sometimes, Saturday usually but since I'm living at home atm, whenever there's drink in.

    That sounds really bad too!:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    I think i am a borderline alcoholic (and no, not another bs after hours joke post) :( think i actually have a problem.

    I'm unemployed and ... well actually too embarrassed to admit to how many nights of the week I drink. Really need to give it up. The messed up thing is I say this as i am about to open my first can of the night.

    If you're serious, just do something to distract yourself till 10pm.

    It's hard at times, I used to be in the same boat. But once you do make it till 10PM you won't be able to get more drink (unless you go to the pub but we're on the dole so f**k paying pub prices :D)

    I pity the fool.
    Seriously though if you think you might have a problem then seek help. No shame in it, it could be any of us. Just don't wait until you have lost everything & everyone you are close to before you do something about it.
    It's demoralising being employed & drinking can give you a lift & be something to look forward to, until the depression & guilt hits & then you have to start over again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    It's gone from zero to seven quite quickly.. Yes I'm recently single.. ladies.. :pac:


  • Posts: 24,713 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Depends on the week. I drank 11 nights in a row a couple of weeks ago (drunk most of them), then other weeks I might only go out once or maybe not at all if saving money for a big event like race week in Galway at the end of the month (which will involve multiple nights of heavy drinking :D)

    On average throughout the year I probably drink three nights per week and get drunk two of the three probably.

    Actually just to add: I used to drink roughly every second night nad would have 8-10 500ml cans of beer.

    Then I met up with some friends I hadn't talked to in a good few months (because I found the joys of drinking at home). Going out once a week (or twice) is something to look forward to than just sitting at home getting locked several times a week.

    So yeah find friends, go to a pub, beat someone up make friends with strangers, have fun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 972 ✭✭✭supernova84


    I drink cranberry juice for breakfast. I drink apple juice with my dinner. I drink tea at night. I don't get drunk strangely enough on these drinks.

    I have been in a pub twice this year so far. Paddy's weekend and just before Easter on a staff night out. I drink probably once a month.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭orchidsrpretty


    I would drink about 3 times a week, depending on money. I dont really get drunk as over those nights I might drink 2 bottles of wine.

    I drink every night so that I don't become dehydrated. Nothing better than a nice
    Glass of water. People who say they never drink , how do you not die of dehydration?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,061 ✭✭✭PickledLime


    None, regardless of occasion. My bank balance and body is most grateful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    I go on the occasional binge don't go out specifically to drink - well sort of do, but usually around festivities, or off the back of show which would break it all down as less than once a week - I'm more of a toker now. A tea-head


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 929 ✭✭✭TheCardHolder


    Too much - Out 5 nights a week, drunk 3 of them, sometimes 4. Work 6 days a week, the candle is getting burnt severely at both ends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭Owen_S


    You could just ask for unit consumption per week.

    Much the same as myself. I'm not mad on it, don't usually drink unless I'm out..


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 5,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭G_R


    Depends.

    This week I haven't been out at all, last week it was twice, next week I plan to go out once. Depends on what's going on and whether or not my mates are in work or off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    Don't even drink once a week, I'd probably share a bottle of wine about once a week or less (judging by the amount of bottles I take to the bottle bank), don't go out that often either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool

    Oh god, I wouldn't be able to handle that at all. As it is, I can just about handle one hangover a week. Two hangovers, and my immune system starts to shut down!

    Thanks guys :)
    ahh, just think I am in a rut. When you are on the dole you just don't know what to be doing with yourself :( Its no excuse. I know everyone on the dole doesnt. Its just my reason I guess.

    While working you'd maybe have a few pints on a friday or saturday. On the dole some idle tuesday doesnt make a difference.
