How often you drink?

I drink about 3 times a month and on holidays. I like good single malt scotches and blends. I'm not in to the real peaty scotches that smell like bandaids.

If I'm not drinking scotch I enjoy good whiskey. Jack Daniels is probably my favorite. Back in the day I used to drink tequila like it made you live longer but so many of my interests these days require you to be able to use your brain. [smile]

2 or 3 beers per day, and yeah, it did reduced my mental faculties quite a bit after a while.

Red wine, usually a glass a day. Sometimes cider or beer instead.

I enjoy a beer every now and then. I don't usually drink alone, it's a social thing and these days, I don't really drink to get drunk either. I guess that's a phase you grow out of...

Scotch is whisky... in fact, Scotch is the original whisky.

I drink something practically every night. I drink to the point of intoxication probably 3 times a week. But then, I'm brewing and trying to get into pro-brewing, so a lot of this drinking is "research". One of the contributing factors to me moving to the Philadelphia area was the great microbrew scene out here.

As often as possible.

We have beers every Friday at work (beer-o-clock!). I try not to drink if I'm working the next day because I'm not good with hangovers, even after bacon. In holiday periods this rule obviously disappears ;)
Beer (of any sort) is ok, but Bourbon is my drink of choice.

So, isn't there only a problem if he said "If I'm not drinking whiskey I enjoy good scotch"?

I drink pretty frequently. My wife and I consume wine, rum, or whiskey several nights a week. I drink to the point of actual intoxication maybe a couple times a week, but in general between two kids and a full time job, relaxing with a few drinks is always a nice way to end the day.

I was a somewhat heavy drinker, about two or three times a week until I was tipsy. Then I got a night shift job and I couldn't bring myself to drink at 7:00am, which would be the equivalent of drinking at 6:00pm. It goes against my pledge: No drinking before noon, no Christmas lights after January 14th and no naming pets after alcoholic beverages.

Now maybe a beer once every other month. I think the last drink I had was in August sometime.

Awesome, I've just gotten into homebrewing in the last few months. What homebrew store do you go to?

As often as I can afford it!

Nah, it's not that bad... :P

I mostly do social drinking one/two times per month during less intensive periods and once a week during intensive periods.

I like to drink beer at home but I'm a student and beer with a decent percentage (I prefer 4-5%) is like other alcohol taxed to oblivion here (Sweden). Coming to think of it, everything is taxed to oblivion here but that's another matter.

I'll drink once, maybe twice a year. I have yet to find anything I can afford on a regular basis as a student that I think is actually worth drinking. I would rather drink my own piss than most of the swill students guzzle to get drunk. And I really can't see the point in drinking till you're drunk anyway.

I'm living in Spain ATM and wine goes for something like 80 cents to 1.25€ per bottle. I stopped keeping count a while back :)

I haven't drunk for 3 (three) months.
One beer at "happy hour" is 2 (two) €/0.5 liter.
The shittest can bier is 2.50 (two point fifteen) €.

Too much for an unemployed.

Vodka/Jäger + beer BTW, to the edge of consciousness.

sometimes i don't drink for a couple weeks. sometimes I drink almost every day of the week. Usually its somewhere in between. nothing like sitting down for a good game of DotA with some friends and sipping on a cold beer. :D

Once or twice a month. Typically a mixed drink with rum or amaretto. I can't stand beer. I'll have a sip of wine every now and then but don't really like it.

I drink all the time. In fact, I'm drunk right now :)

Seriously, though, when I have the money I tend to go through periods of drinking. Like, I'll drink for a week to the point of getting drunk, then I will drink very little, for another week.

Although, lately, I haven't been drinking as much even when I've had the money...

I used to drink pretty much every 2 weeks on the Friday just after payday. Sometimes more. But for the past year, I've only gotten really drunk maybe 5 times. That's due to having a girlfriend that doesn't drink and also not really being able to afford it anymore.

Once every couple of months, usually only if I'm in a social setting. I just never really enjoyed drinking alcohol. I have a ridiculously low tolerance and the benefits of the tipsy/drunk feeling doesn't seem to outweigh the detriments of the nauseous feeling. At least it saves me money. :)
