The poll should really be narrowed down to those that drink a few times a week, weekend warriors and then once a month? I can't remember a time I went more than 5 days without having a drink.

I drank within the past 3 weeks
I drink a few times per month (less than once a week)
I get drunk maybe once per month... well.. maybe less.

I used to drink when I had money to, and when I was at that age. Now even if the booze is free, I just don't have the energy to get plastered. I feel too damn old the next day!

I probably have a couple of drinks a week or less. As far as getting drunk, I selected a few times a year because there was not a choice for special occaisions. I go to all inclusive resorts on vacation, so I drinks a bit more while there.

0-3 beers a day, and 4-10 on the weekend night. I only had 3 beers in the last 6 days, that is amazing.

Usually when I drink, I drink to get drunk (or I end up getting drunk). But I also drink wine and scotch for the sheer pleasure of it.

You ask:

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.

true, but then the answers wouldn't match the answers to the second question, and that would bother my OCD. :beer:

Two glasses of wine after dinner last night, when my wife decided she wasn't really feeling her glass. I'll have a drink when we go out for dinner, and I'll get a good buzz going on the few occasions that we actually party. I've certainly tamed my drinking habits since college.

Q: How often do you get drunk?

A: Not in years.

To me drunk doesn't mean buzzed though.

Probably the most I've drank in the past few years was my wedding night and even then I wasn't drunk, just buzzed.

I'm 21, so I probably drink more than any other age. Right now I drink probably every weekend and am usually drunk when I do drink.

About once a week. The beer is just getting too pricey but I'll pop open a bottle of red on the weekend if there is someone to share it with.

I answered "no" to the first question and "I drink a few days a week" to the second one. Thing is, I recently stopped drinking to help myself lose weight. If it wasn't for that, I would drink a couple nights a week.

odd. I thought must of us were raging drunks. it's just the very few teetotalers on here that are extremely loud about their pointless opinions :p

1st question:

No

2nd question:

a few times a month

3rd question.

once a month.

this is on average.

My alcohol consumption is primarily dependent on if I have a supply of grass or not.

I love a good IPA. I just picked up a Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA and a Midas Touch yesterday.

We have a standing tradition where we have dinner at a friend's house every Thursday at 10pm. When I'm there, I'll usually have a glass of wine or a beer.

At home, we rarely have liquor stocked.

I like to have a nightcap whether that be wine, beer, cocktail...

I'm in grad school so I rarely get drunk because I need to be productive in the mornings.
