My average is about 2 fluid ounces of red wine daily. Honestly I'm completely take it or leave it when it comes to alcohol. I often pour myself 4 oz of wine and wind up pouring most of it back into the bottle. I keep my opened bottles of wine in the fridge, lest they turn to vinegar before I finish the bottle.
pretty minimal. i'd save it averages out to less than 1 beer per week
Yeah, that's me, but I drink less beer than that. Add together my beer, wine and other spirits it comes to equivalent of maybe 2 oz of wine/day, if that. Depends. Sometimes I'll have 4 oz with dinner every night for a while, other times I don't touch any for weeks.

Maybe like once every 2 weeks in average. I tend to drink more in summer, I go to my parent's house as they make a camp fire and we usually have wine.

I sometimes buy wine and drink at home too. Usually if I have a stretch of time off I might pop open a bottle and drink it over a few days. I could drink it all in one night if I really wanted to but I like to make it last a little.

I don't drink if I work the next day though.

A few years ago...a fifth of Crown Royal every night...without fail.

Nowadays, maybe 1-2 beers per month...or less.

Most weeks it's zero.

If I have a beer, I'll probably have 2-4 through an afternoon.

If I have a proper drink, probably 2, max three in an evening.

I pretty much only drink at baseball games, so maybe 10 beers/year.

I did have a shot of some super fancy bourbon or scotch at a Christmas party last year. It wasn't much different than the cheap shit I used to drink in high school.

Dry for weeks to months, then a bottle of wine in two days, or a small bottle of rum over a few weeks.

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

Probably 2-5 drinks between Sunday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday probably in the neighborhood of 6-10.

Working in sales it's hard not to drink during the week. :p

My grandpa died of alcohol related illnesses, so none. There is another living family member who's a long time abuser and he's having psychological challenges. No thank you.

Basically none over the last couple years, but before that it was about a third of a bottle of liquor for one weeknight every couple months or so. I don't really enjoy it anymore.

It's called alcoholism.

Pretty much. If you get to the point where you are drinking on days that you work the next day, it's a bit much.

We have a guy like that at work. But the company sees alcoholism as a mental issue, and so they can't fire him because "It's not his fault". Half the time he shows up drunk or does not show up at all.

You can drink on a work night without getting drunk.

Bought this 6-pack on sale thanksgiving, thinking it was plain Root Beer which I like drinking once in a while.
Didn't notice the word HARD and know it has about 5% alcohol content. 5 bottles still unopened inside the ref.
Not a beer/alcohol drinker at all.
