ATOT strikes me as having rampant teetotalism as compared to the population that I encounter in my day-to-day life. Just trying to put some numbers to this observation...

I love trying different beers from different places. My current favorite is Stone IPA. Very very good... but it's about $6 a pint.

I almost always have *something* daily. Whether that's a beer or glass of wine, or a mixed drink later in the evening.

But I can't remember the last time I had more than 4 drinks in a row or even considered myself moderately intoxicated.

I answered Yes and Every Day, but that was before I gave up drinking for a month. I'm on day 17 right now so I have had a drink in the last three weeks, but usually drank something every night when I was hitting the sauce.

I usually have a beer when I get home every night, go out with friends or coworkers every now and then too.

In the L&R thread on this topic you'd think AT was the official forum for AA.

I used to be a weekend or nice meal out drinking kinda guy, but now I'm going out a lot more now so drinking is a 2-3 times a week deal. Not getting sloppy though.

I usually have a few beers once or twice a week. How much I drink the first time usually indicates if I drink the second. In other words, if I get trashed Friday night, I don't drink Sat. But I rarely drink during the week.

No, it's just that on the internet, the people with the strongest opinions are the loudest, and so it seems much more extreme than real life.

Because i'm sure all alcohol tastes like the shitty boxed wine your sister had.

I used to drink to get drunk, but I quit doing that years ago. The most I drink now is 2 beers, or maybe 3-4 if I have friends that are over.

I learned that there really isn't any point to getting drunk all the time.

okay...problem with your poll.

You ask:

How often do you get drunk?

One of the options is:

Never, but i like answering questions that don't apply to me.


Problem is that "never" is a valid answer to that question which does apply to people. Do I drink? Yes. How often do I get drunk? Never. Yes, it does apply.

Almost every day. I have a mini-fridge in my home office just for beer. Only get wasted a few times per year though.

I have drank within the last 3 weeks
I used to drink every weekend, but now only once a month or somewhere thereabouts
I don't get drunk anymore

I gained some weight, so I had to cut back.
