How often do you drink?

c_man

Lately I noticed my drink intake climbing up. Not huge like, but on a daily basis having about 2 to 3 cans a night during the week. Then a night or two out per week. I honestly can't remember the last day I didn't have a drink, must be before the Summer.

Was thinking about it a bit more after meeting my cousin's new boyfriend recently, he can't drink due to having completely overindulged in earlier years. He's not that much older than me!

Do you have much?

super_furry

Only when I'm at work.

Used to drink several times a week in my 20s.. late nights, early houses etc.

Nowadays hardly at all. Partly because I'm usually driving, partly because most of my mates are long settled and living all over the place, but mostly because I couldn't be arsed and wouldn't miss it.
Even when I do have a drink it's usually in someone's house or a quieter pub and would quit early enough. There's also the cost of a night out these days and I prefer to spend my money on other things.

Still get the occasional "ya wha??" reaction when I decline the offer of an all night session.

Never ever.

dd972

Often but not a great deal, one bottle of quality lager 5 or 6 nights a week with the occasional splurge now and again.

GLaDOS

Don't drink during the week as a general rule. So once or twice a week.

hanky2016

Normally get through 3 bottles of wine between Monday to Friday and a night out then on the sat night.

saintsaltynuts

Four nights a week in the pub.Thursday to Sunday.Saturday usually the mad night out.

osarusan

Glass of whiskey or a beer at home maybe three or four times a week. I'd probably have another whiskey or beer at least one of those nights.

Not sure when I was last in a pub...not for weeks anyway I think.

McMurphy

Not as often ws I used to, thats for sure.

4 cans on a Fri and or Sat night.

The very odd midweek beer.

The occasional one or two on a Sunday at a meal or whatever.

No spirits, no wine, and no cider.

I used to be a 7 night a week lad in the local bar, before I moved away, got married and had kids.

What a waste of time and money, now when I look back.

Maybe once a week 1-2 maybe less

4-5 cups of coffee in the morning, about 2-3 litres of water over the course of the day, maybe glass of milk with my dinner.

What about you?

JeffKenna

How often do I think indeed

harry Bailey esq

Only between meals.

drake70

Mostly at weekends. Although I'll have a few beers before/at a midweek concert.

The Young Wan

More often than I or my liver would like.

KaiserGunner

Usually three nights a week for me. Thurs, Fri and Sat. Have gotten in the habit of having a bottle of red wine on a Thursday night. Then I'd have my usual, Guinness or Beer pints on the Friday and Saturdays. Occasionally have a few pints during the Sunday if there is an Arsenal match on.

Have decided to stay off drink for the month of October at least, so far so good. :pac:

Since the arrival of children it's rare - never drink at home but will if out at a gig or if there's a night out arranged with the mates - that's about 4 times a year at this stage.

s3rtvdbwfj81ch

Either Friday or Saturday, whichever night it's not my turn to get up with the child the next morning I'd have a few (4 maybe) cans of craft beer.

Then once a month I go to the homebrew club meeting, usually a Wednesday.

there might be one other night out in a month where the child is getting minded and me and the wife will go out for dinner and a few drinks.

Vex Willems

I only drink on two occasions — When I am thirsty and when I'm not.

biko

If you need to ask others how much they drink, then you probably drink too much

Useful.Idiot

Try to keep it to one or no nights a weekend. Have the odd glass of wine during the week at home some weeks or pint if heading to a midweek gig. Getting out of the mindset of going for drinks on a Friday after work just because its Friday, its usually not worth it. Drinking steps up big time around festival season, holidays and Christmas of course.

Does that amount affect your weight? I drank the same amount pre-30s but to do it now I'd be fat.

sbsquarepants

I still drink more than they say you should, but only now at weekends, unless something really unusual happens - like there being a Tuesday or a Wednesday in the week.
95% of the time it's beer, 4% wine and I have learned from repeatedly embarrassing myself to stay away from spirits, so I only embarrass myself 1% of the time now.:D

[Deleted User]

I go through phases of drinking or not drinking. For several months I would go through a few bottles of wine per week and also go out one night per week and get fairly inebriated. For the last few months, I haven't been really drink at all during the week but will go out one night per week and have a couple of bottles of wine or several beers.

It's funny that you say that. I've put on two stone over the past year due to this routine. As I drink, I end up then eating takeaways and crap food. So I've told myself this can't go on, so plan on losing the weight and getting back into shape. Cutting out the drink is a start I suppose.

lazybones32

Not a lot. Few beers at weekend but during the Summer, i love sitting out and having ice cold beer late in the evening after an honest days work. Didn't do it much this year ffs...

Rarely go for pints.

SafeSurfer

I drink on a daily basis though it seldom cools my temper. No it never cools my temper.
