All depends on the week. Way too fucking much. Last Sunday I got blackout drunk at a disco, Monday I had maybe 6 beers, Tuesday I got messed up through alternative means, Thursday I got blackout drunk, friday i had about 10 drinks while I was bartending and then about 10 more after, today I had about 3 drinks during work.

Tomorrow im going for beers with my dad and then off to the disco.
 
Very little. I bought a 24 pack of Kona beer at Costco a couple of months ago. I think there's still 10-12 left. MOST of what has been used has gone into cooking, brats, beer can chicken, etc. Between my wife and I, we've maybe drank 6-8 of them.

T'was a time when I put away a fifth of Crown Royal every night. Never missed a night...or a bottle.
Happily, those days are long behind me. I can enjoy a beer or drink on occasion, might even get plastered at a luau...or might not have a drink of any kind for months at a time.

Any of these involve the awesome girl you are seeing?

Any specifics on what the "alternate means" are? :awe:

Yes I remember you saying this before. Is it just age catches up with you or a realization of how stupid you were being? Or a little of both?

Sunday Monday and Tuesday were with her. Thursday I walked over to murphys bleachers to watch the baseball game and ended up meeting people and getting free shots of rumplemintz from the bartenders.

I think it was more that I was just tired of it all. I quit drinking, quit a job at the local electrical utility where I had been for almost seven years, (and was the source of a lot of the stress in my life) and went back to construction. After I quit drinking, I'd still go to the bar after work with the crew, (I was working out of town and living in a motel) but I drank iced tea or coke...no alcohol at all. Didn't touch a drop for about 6 months...

Don't those who believe in Jesus statistically drink more?

Probably about 3 to 4 beers a day on average.
I've cut out spirits and cut down on wine.

Why has Christianity been brought into this, I don't remember anything in the Bible against boozing.

Is this week representative at all of your usual drinking habits?
 
Kinda depends... i can comfortably toss back 3/4 bottle of whiskey/night. But I don't do it often b/c it's not exactly cheap, lol. So on the high end I think I consumed like 2 or 3 bottles of whiskey in a week but there are also many weeks where I don't drink at all.
 
I usually drink 1 or 2 nights a week. I can drink anywhere from 18-20 beers on a good night to maybe just 2 or 3 if I am tired an not really feeling it. I drink domestic beer, usually Coors Light.
 
I've had a bottle of scotch for ~6 months now and I still haven't finished it, and aside from maybe a bottle of wine or two (can't remember exactly) I haven't had anything else over that period. FWIW when I do drink it's usually ~3 drinks to get me comfortably buzzed, which I do about once a month.
 
I get wicked headaches from beer and wine (from as little as a glass). For some reason Tequila worked for me. I worked up to a bottle a week or so.

But after awhile my body began to protest, started getting headaches so I tapered off. This was several years ago. There's a bottle of Camarina in the fridge for over half a year and it's still almost full.
 
lately ive reduced my intake, id say, to...maybe 8 drinks a week. i was probably doing 12 - 15 most of the year up until a couple of months ago. id have a couple of beers every night an then for sunday dinner with friends id start at 1 or 2 and stay over til midnight, so there was a few more.

i dont generally drink to get drunk, i like good beer, decent whiskey, and wine now and again...so when i drink i take my time.
 
I have about one beer every two weeks. But that's averaged out; more likely I buy a six pack every few months and then drink it over the course of a week.
 
my buddy just found out he has an enlarged liver from too much drinking. So he has to lay off the sauce forever.
I have no idea what to do today when I come over to watch football, lol.
Do I drink in front of him and make him hate life?
Do I not drink and torture myself the whole time i'm there?

fuck it, i'll try to hold off. But the second one of the other guys cracks open a beer, i'm chuggin
 
Probably about 4-5 beers per week on average. Every other month or so I might have more. Friday night I was at a party and had 3 beers and 3 mixed drinks.
 
When I was in my 20's I drank prodigious amounts, but now that I am in my 40's have three kids and feel a hangover for three days, I drink 1 beer a day most days of the week and that's it.
 
For the past twenty or so years the average would be zippo. Now if I average my middle school through college years into that...
 
I usually drink 21 light beers Friday to Sunday. i don't drink during the week usually.

Been in classes lately so studying and all that. I put down about 12-18 per day the last week.

Went to a Tilted Kilt last night and did two of their 100oz beer towers.

Definitely not good if I was doing it daily.
