I drink water most of the time. I don't really understand why people drink anything else to be honest. Yeah, the taste or whatever, but water tastes fine and the health benefits are obvious. I may have an alcoholic drink of some sort every 8-12 months if I'm out with the guys, but that's it.

No it doesn't. It oughtn't have much flavor at all. That's like saying "air tastes fine". Don't get me wrong, during the day I'm drinking water if I'm not drinking coffee, I have nothing against water.

Do you eat anything other than plain oatmeal for breakfast?
 
I drink more now than i used to. I polish off a 60oz bottle of Gibsons whiskey in a month. I only drink on fridays, sometimes saturdays too.

I only drink water though during the week so im hoping this offsets the alcohol consumption lol.
 
Usually some captain and cokes Friday and Saturday night when relaxing and watching a movie or gaming. Like 4-5 all night probably. I have friends come hang out too who drink my stuff sometimes. During football season I drink on Sunday often too when I have people over and we're hanging out.

I usually buy a handle of Captain Morgan every week or so.

You're talking about flavor, but I said taste which isn't the same thing. Water only tastes bad when it has been mishandled.

Yes.
 
on average, probably the equivalent of half a wine bottle and a beer per week.

it's simple: do you get a craving for a particular food or taste sometimes?
Or could you eat soylent all your life without getting bored?
 
I have discovered Amaretto di Saronno with Dr Pepper. Does not get me drunk, although it gives a slight relaxing buzz after a glass of 4. I only add tiny bit of Amaretto diSaronno since it is a love potion. I can game and develop at home great with it.

From legend :
The warm, sophisticated taste of DISARONNO has a lineage dating back to one of the most romantic and creative periods in Italian history – the Renaissance. In 1525, the artist Bernardino Luini, a brilliant pupil of Leonardo da Vinci – was commissioned to paint a fresco of the Madonna of the Miracles in Saronno (Madonna dei Miracoli in Saronno, where the Fresco is still displayed today).
To portray the Madonna, he chose as his muse a beautiful local innkeeper, who may also have been a widow.
As a mark of her gratitude she prepared for the artist a special gift of a flask full of an amber liqueur, fragrant and delicate. That is how the legend of DISARONNO arose: from a simple gesture of kindness and the unique handmade combination of secret ingredients.

I am on holiday now, so the last few days have been fun.
But normally when i have to work during weekdays only Friday or Saturday.
 
Since I gave up beer Im down to only 1 liter of Bourbon a week. If you think thats a lot I used to drink a handle of vodka every 3 -4 days plus beer.
 
I'll have a beer or two during the week at home, and a Crown&Coke if it was a really rough day. I also keep some Woodford Reserve for a weekend cocktail.
 
Wife and I can go through a fifth of Fireball in a night (I may be a bigger part of that than her), maybe more on a weekend. Although with the new year and a few other things, we are going to be slowing it down to weekends only.

WHAT?

i thought i was gonna shock everyone by saying "between 1 and 2 bottles of whisky a week" but you have me beat by far, in the race to kill yourself.


i generally have about 4 beers a week, two on each day of the weekend. or similar, so a couple large glasses of wine. when i do buy whisky, i drink more than 2 drinks, mostly because 2 drinks of whisky is like 2 sips.
however, depending on how much i work, and therefore how much coffee i've had, i can drink up to a whole bottle of whisky per sitting. 2 bottles is the extreme when i'm on a bender, like i'm on holiday and hanging with english friends.

frankly i think alcohol is much maligned, i go without issue from a week of heavy drinking to nothing at all, and rarely drink too much, or even have a headache in the morning.
