In high school and college, I only drank and got drunk at parties and only while playing drinking games. I never really liked the taste of alcohol.

A couple years out of college I developed an "allergy" to alcohol. Just a few sips make me sick. So, I don't drink anymore.

By drink, in this case I mean get drunk. Not just have a beer.

Based on my posting habits in "ATOT Drunks Report In" I get the impression that either I drink more than many members here, or at least I post about it afterwards.

So what say you? How often are you drunk?

Once. Not interested in doing it again - I don't like having a fuzzy brain.
 
I partied pretty hard in college, but ever since graduation I barely drink. Maybe once a week. I enjoy a good beer or a nice glass of wine, but meh.
 
I haven't been pissed up in quite sometime. Alcohol is a major migraine trigger for me....well, I get a headache, and the headache is actually the trigger for a migraine.
 
Depends on what my plans are. If I'm drinking at a good friend's house, then its likely OK for me to spend the night. I'll drink and crash there. If I'm at home, its a drink or two. If I'm out a restaurant/bar/pub, then I drink only 1 because I usually have to drive.
 
Been drunk once. Didn't really feel that different, and apparently nobody I talked to could tell the difference, except I was apparently a bit more flushed than usual. I didn't know myself until my friend dropped my off at my place and I tried to walk up the driveway... 😀

I've never understood this "Buzz" thing, In the UK if you are slightly drunk or before drunk you are tipsy.

Slightly drunk/tipsy = buzz. Not quite drunk drunk...but definitely starting to feel the alcohol.

I'm guessing you have your wife or family to thank for helping/encouraging you from drinking yourself to the grave?

My wife.

Oddly enough, I don't think I ever missed a day of work because I was too hungover or still too drunk to go. I MIGHT not have been quite 100%, but on those days, I always worked harder, pushed my self harder, and maybe even pushed my crews harder than on a "normal" day.
 
beers or something most days a week, drunk? eh...i like to get a good buzz, maybe once a week, but really drunk? eh, maybe once a month

/love, love beer

Simple.

He annoys us. We don't start scrolls on people who annoy us.

It would be like keeping a "Scroll of Lies" for McOwned.

noone gives a crap about him or what he thinks or does.

No. Most alcohol gives me a headache. Especially beer and wine.

I got away with Tequila for awhile, a few years ago I worked up to a bottle a week. Then the headaches came back so now, just a shot here and there.
 
I used to drink all the time, multiple times a week and every friday and saturday. Nowdays i just smoke pot, might drink once a month max.
