Alcohol, that is... Just curious of the drinking habits of members here, since the "What are you drinking now" thread is so active regularly... and to see where the "alcoholism" line is Poll updated

I drink on average, less than one alcoholic beverage per week.

A beer when out to lunch/dinner is the norm (4x's a week or so) and usually a beer after getting back from class around 9:30pm since it's guaranteed it's been a long day.

One drink on a couple of nights after work, and 3-4 per night that I go out on the weekend. Occasionally a Sunday afternoon cocktail with a cigar if the weather is nice enough.

Sounds like heaven, sir. And since it appears most of us so far drink 4-6/week, any of you consider yourselves to be "serious drinkers" or that you have a problem?

Drinking isn't fun anymore, and it makes me FAT.

Usually one or two on Thursday or Friday night, when I make dinner. Then, usually 4-6 drinks/night if we go out. If we don't, then I sip a couple of beers and a tumbler or two of scotch/whiskey as we hang out at home. If we drink Friday night, then I take Saturday easy and just have one or two while I make dinner or during dinner. If I didn't drink much on Friday night, then the normal drinking procedure applies on Saturday. I rarely drink on Sunday. So, on average, probably 10 drinks/week on average. Dude, your poll is poorly constructed. Are you shitfaced?

I think I want to go get plastered this weekend.

It should take three beers, and maybe a shot.

I think you know a drinking problem when you see one. I don't even think 10 drinks in a week is excessive if you're spreading them out correctly (consider following age 50+ medical advice of a glass of red wine a day, that's 7 right there). 10 drinks in a night, or 5 each on nights before work where it actually affects you the next day, that's a problem.

I like what alcohol does to me up to a certain point about 5-6 drinks in, and I've gotten very good at never getting past that anymore. I actually drink more regularly (probably the same in total volume, less binge episodes) than I did in college because I've found so many more kinds of alcohol that I like. Also, I can now actually afford many of those kinds.

Yeah that's what I'm most curious about

haha no... not yet at least. I didn't give it much thought in putting it together as I had a long day and am damn exhausted. I just assumed that 1 drink per day = 7 drinks per week.

Edited. Wow, AM I shitfaced? Wanted to edit to add the DNW quote but instead quoted myself in the post and messed everything up.

I tend to unwind nightly with a tumbler of bourbon or scotch. Occasionally () I'll have more than 2 on a weeknight. If I'm not having liquor, I'll usually knock back 2 or 3 Guinnesses while doing homework/watching TV/whatever.
