    Lately, I've been thinking about trying a drink. Some people sure do seem to like it... Not sure though.

    As of me quitting smoking, my alcohol intake has accelerated to about three or four beers a night.

    Just curious to see how much we all drink, and how often.


    I don't drink every day, but when I do drink I usually have at least 6 beers. I also enjoy sharing a bottle of wine with my wife sometimes, but she can't drink now since she is pregnant.

    If I was trying to quit smoking (which I know I should) I would have to drink less. When I'm drinking, I tend to smoke more. Cigarettes go too well with beer.

    Wow! I just can't drink that much beer. It makes me feel bloated and full, etc.

    Don't forget drunk.

    Far too much, especially when I can afford it.

    I drink, on average, 20 units a week socially or just in the house. I can easily hit 20 units in one night if I'm out specifically to drink, sometimes more.

    A lot less than this time last year, and never alone anymore.

    Alright then :D I could happily drink 3 or 4 beers a day just while sitting around the house, if I'm in the pub drinking socially, around 4 or 5 pints or 5 double JD & cokes. If I'm actually going "out" for the night, I'd probably start on 3 or 4 pints and then go onto the JD & cokes, maybe around 5 or 6 doubles. If I do that, I tend not to drink much for the next few days just for the sake of my wallet and the fact that the prospect of alcoholism terrifies me.

    Well, it was for me...at the time. Too many nights spent with just a bottle of wine for company, lead to a very unhappy hippie :(

    I don't want to go there again, so drinking is a strictly social thing for me now.

    Absolutely not. Nothing wrong at all.

    Oh good. Thought I might need to worry about something there for a second.

    There's nothing I hate more than seeing an unhappy hippie... I mean why even bother being a hippie if you're gonna be all frowny about it?

    See, I quite like a beer or three by myself, listening to music or watching a good film (like now maybe:o:p) but since alcohol just heightens my emotions, whatever they are, I have a really hard time of it if I'm feeling down. Always best to stay away from it then. Plus, I can be the nicest guy in the world when drunk if I'm in a good place or I can be a complete dick to be around. Thankfully the latter Jamie has only revealed himself once or twice.

    I drink 5-6 days a week with 1-3 drinks each of those days. I mostly drink wine, but sometimes on Saturday I will also drink a couple vodka sodas.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    When I go out, normally 2-4 drinks tops. Unless I have a DD.

    At home I can usually down about a half liter of Jack, or Vodka, if I'm in the drinking mood. Granted I'm usually very drunk by that point.

    Anyway, I don't drink nearly as much as I used to, and my consumption level changes so much from week to week its hard to say how much a day I drink.

    been sober three years ..

    I'm not an evangilical type..so decide what works for you..

    My life just became unmanagegable and I had panic attacks like crazy...

    funny thing, when you put down the drink, the anti-depressant actually starts to work..!

    what a concept..??

    Reading some of your posts, it made me remember that I
    had no ability to "just have one drink"..

    that was impossible for me.. what good is one drink really?

    for me at least..

    After going almost 10 years without a drink I now drink 4-5 times a week. Usually it is a half bottle of red or 3-4 Jameson's.
