    I'll polish off 4 pallets of Beamish and a crate or two of Bushmills every week if I'm going well.

    Bit less during the summer, usually.

    It’s easier for me to say how many units a year I drink....12 to 20.

    It'll be a sad day when I start counting units. A few G&Ts or a brandy per week at home. No two weeks would be the same. A red wine or three now and again.

    Anyone else a nightly drinker?

    I crack open a bottle of wine most nights to chill out, and even though I know it’s not the healthiest of habits to have I just love a good drink..

    Or just divide that number by 52 to give a weekly unit. Not too complicated...

    I’d only drink (binge drink) 3 or 4 times a month, I would usually have atleast two naggins or sometimes I’ll have a naggin and six cans, I’d never drink on my own though, that’s just sad

    I would drink a bottle of wine a week but over 2 or 3 nights. I'd rarely drink more than that.

    A number of years back for the duration of about 2 years I'd finish a six pack per night at home.
    It was a real habit.
    Circumstances changed and I just stopped doing it.

    Now based on another posters and use to divide by 52 my weekly consumption is not a whole number.

    When I am on the ground after pissing in my pants and choking on my own vomit I know its time to give up the units and go on the shorts

    Zero units so far in 2018 ... I'm a recovering alcoholic. Must actually add up how many units I'd have drank a week back when was drinking alcoholically ... I'm amazed I still have a liver. :o

    Why do you care how much I drink ?

    It’s got nothing to do with you.

    Or the state.

    0 units of alcohol, I don't have the constitution nor desire - such an ugly addiction, drinking.

    Not everyone who drinks has an addiction. Ignorance isn't an excuse forr judgement.

    why is it sad? do you ever eat on your own? or drink a cola on your own?

    i occasionally like to have a beer at home at the end of the week.....when kids are in bed... watching tv with the missus. she doesn't drink so i'm drinking on my own.

    i like the taste of a nice cold beer at the end of a long hard week. dont need to be going out for a night out to have one.

    0 a week. Maybe a very rare beer once a year.

    Think I’ve had about 3 drinks in 5 years.

    Looks to be about 15.

    On average, maybe a bottle of beer Sun - Thurs. And then a bottle of wine over a Friday / Saturday.

    Not mad by any means.. and then a sesh with work probably once a month.
