What is your average alcohol consumption?

[zinfamous]

Once per month, maybe even 2 months depending on special occasions. You don't get to pull and squat 500lbs+ by drinking.

only manlets have to abstain. Men are capable of imbibing and ...pulling and squating.

Why not?

A glass of wine or mixed drink after the kids are in bed. May split a bottle of wine with my wife on a Friday or Saturday night. We usually get up at 4:15 on weekdays to run and 5:00AM on weekends so that tends to keep us behaving well.

After a night of drinking I can easily squat 500lbs or at least it smells that way.

More in winter, less in summer, because Canada. Too much to do in the summer outside. Not enough to do in the winter outside.

a 60 of whiskey lasts from Oct to about April. Wife and I share maybe two or three cases of beer a month in the same time period.

In summer, 2-3oz of whiskey per weekend, maybe. Maybe one or two beers. If I'm on holidays, probably more.

As a rule I don't drink Sunday to Thursday unless I'm on holidays. Friday and Saturday only during normal work weeks. So not much.

 

[KMFJD]

these days it's 0 unless on holidays with a meal and then only rarely 1

Thread needs a poll, and an option for "all of it".

Realistically though, sometimes I have one a day, sometimes I go 4+ days without any, and sometimes I get smashed. It probably averages out to one a day, which works out nicely because that's what keeps the doctor away.

 

[pontifex]

a few a year, if that.

1 is too many and 10 is not enough.

Heh, I hear ya. None for me anymore. Used to be a fifth or so of liquor a day at my most.

Zero..booze free / drug free. Greatly entertained by the doper / boozer rational.

Addiction isn't rational, at all. Might wanna check out the brain chemistry of it.

Anywhere from 0-10 beers a week. I usually don't drink more than one beer when I have to work the next day. On a weekend I might have three or four.

I like strong beer though. I think one of my usual beers has 2-3x as much alcohol as a light beer.

Maybe 10-12 beers a year. I don't drink very often.

Doppelbock should be easier to find.

 

[sdifox]

I took some Doppel-Hirsch doppelbock to a friend's BBQ and it was well received.

drinking is the national sport here, due to the miserable weather, local production of whisky, and general poverty. my weekly is approximately 2 bottles of whisky and a dozen beers. varies slightly but pretty much always in this range. how am i still alive? i don't know.

funny thing is, until 25yo, i drank almost nothing, maybe one beer a week.

Tell that to my college self. Downing 2 handles a week. Max Deadlift 700 pounds. Max squat 600.

Quite frankly, I don't give a rat's ass on what people drink and how many...

So you are posting in this thread cuz you don't care?

I've had a few doppelbocks before. I'll look around for the other stuff next time I'm at a store with a good selection.

 

[NuclearNed]

I drink between 1-4 drinks every weekend, most of that being wine.

 

[William Gaatjes]

I hardly drink anymore, a few glasses at birthdays or parties but even that is in decline. My tolerance for alcohol has always been low and it now becomes even lower the less i drink. I also do no longer enjoy it as much as i thought i did. I prefer fruit juice more.
