How many days a week do you drink?

Monife · 23-01-2011 09:38PM

Can't afford (even though in full time employment) to go pub on weekends.

Would have a few drinks (about 3) on a friday and saturday at home. And maybe 1 drink on a Sunday depending on the mood.

Would go out drinking (pub or club) only for special events, like birthdays and the lark.

Most nights although the last few weeks I haven't been drinking as much. I must be sick or something

Gaudizeit · 23-01-2011 09:48PM

used to be 2-3 nights a week but can't afford that anymore so it will be cut down to just Saturdays for a while. I hate staying in on Saturdays. Fridays are manageable.

So my fellow boardsiezzzzz how many days do you drink? & in what form? getting pi*sed or having a few?

I drink every day, water that is. Sometimes I might drink some alcohol but certanly not every day!

rovers2001 · 23-01-2011 09:53PM

At least 2/3 cans a night at weekends if not going out but may have two cans during the week.So i suppose 5 nights a week.

Off the gargle for the time being.

Should end first Friday in March.

Living in rented accommodation, so I find myself drinking most night of the week out of boredom usually 2 or 3 bottles of fink brau. Generally head out Saturday then for a drain full. Im on the fink right now

Unless there's a Judo competition coming up, most nights. I work crazy hours and a drink helps settle the ol' body clock.

Ha. The night I brought the dog around I'm pretty sure I saw that bottle of brandy tremble.

I drink about 6 cans of harp or carlsberg most nights during the week and about double that every friday saturday and sunday night. When i come home from work i like a nice tasty alcoholic beverage to help me relaxe. I done good last week, as i didnt drink last monday,tuesday or wednesday night. Im drinking at the min also.

That's borderline alcoholism.

I know, because I used to drink every day too. After a while though, it stops being a way to relax & enjoy yourself and becomes something that starts to take over your life rather than adding to it.

I knocked it on the head about 2 years ago & feel a lot better for it.

I still drink though, but no more than 2 bottles of wine over a weekend.

FYP

I'd also be concerned with your mental stability when you purposely drink Harp or Carlsberg.

Nosey nelly strikes again.

I drink on a friday & saturday night. Couple of pints or a few cans, usually the latter. I never drink during the week as it affords me the opportunity to make condescending remarks about people who do.

If i drink more than 3 days in a row my brain gives me a kick in the face & says we can't handle this dickhead, cop on our we're off, yeah WE! Im in charge here says he, your not says i, really? says he watch this....then i get a sharp pain in my head & i say ok ok you win.

mickdw · 23-01-2011 10:57PM

drink maybe 5 times a year so I will say zero times per week.

Guill · 23-01-2011 11:02PM

3, but it does not depend on how often. It depends on how much really.

Up-n-atom! · 23-01-2011 11:08PM

I'll be out drinking twice this week, which is a lot - don't really drink that much. It's not something I avoid purposely, I do like a drink or 5 but at the same time it doesn't bother me if I don't drink anything. On the dole now but didn't really drink much more when I was working - sometimes it just seems like you're pissing your money away. Saying that, I was on night out before Christmas and ended up with the biggest hangover I've had in a very long time - think I'm getting too old for that sort of thing!

TeddyTedson · 23-01-2011 11:18PM

Usually only the once, but it can drag in to a few days, you know how it goes, fecking country is mad for it.

On holidays every day though. It's actually really painful going drinking for 2 weeks. I remember after 6th year puking blood after a only a few shots of vodka on holidays. I'd struggle to do 2 weeks now though, drinking is a young mans game.

Big Nasty · 23-01-2011 11:26PM

Thread needs poll!

Dudess · 23-01-2011 11:27PM

Under normal circumstances, one. On holidays, most nights, but I wouldn't be getting drunk every night - not able for it.

23-01-2011 11:38PM

None of them

iamstop · 23-01-2011 11:41PM

4-5 most weeks.

Acoshla · 23-01-2011 11:43PM

I drink maybe three times in a month, never very much tbh, a few vodkas and beers if I'm out or maybe a glass or two of wine at home or with dinner. I have never understood how anyone could think it's normal to drink alcohol every day in a regular week (as opposed to things like rag week, celebrating something, holiday, etc, when people may have reasons to drink more than usual if they choose to), if you need a can or 7 to relax after work there's something wrong, you shouldn't be dependent on alcohol to relax you.

fonecrusher1 · 24-01-2011 12:01AM

I think age has a huge relevance to the question. 18 to 22 year olds are going to drink a hell of a lot more than 30 to 35 year olds.

5 to 10 year olds probably only have a few cans each week.

orourkeda · 24-01-2011 12:11AM

seven

eurokev · 24-01-2011 12:14AM

drink maybe 4 times a week. Usually no more than 2 drinks a go. And most of the time its something different because im a real booze lover and love trying different things. drinking a can of murphys now. Very rarely go to nightclubs but I do love a nice snuggy pub, just cant justify paying the prices and having the same choice of monopolised diageo drink in every one

Jeez, I don't know... My peers and I can certainly drink a lot more now then we could at 18-22...

JerryHandbag · 24-01-2011 12:18AM

I only drink twice a week.

Monday to Thursday, and Friday to Sunday.

johnayo · 24-01-2011 12:23AM

8 days a week.

jackie1974 · 24-01-2011 12:27AM

Twice a week, definitely find the hangover harder to deal with as I get older. Whoever invented alka seltzers deserves a medal.

Each to their own ,as they say. I have never missed a day of work in my life due to drinking, probably coz i dont suffer from hangovers at all.

How many days a week do you drink?
