What's your drinking routine like? Slow and steady, fast and furious, etc..?

Just curious how some of you guys tend to drink. For me I tend to drink somewhat slowly, I usually start with a beer and a lime (love that taste) and then typically something on the rocks (more often than not I end up drinking clear alcohols (gin, vodka, etc.)). I very seldom do mixers or wine, although tonite I'm going to start off with a little white zinfandel.

I usually don't like how I feel if I drink too much too fast. But it's relaxing to have a few drinks over the course of a movie or two followed by a warm shower. Perfect nightcap routine.

When I used to cook with mj, I enjoyed that even more than alcohol. Especially when I learned how to use the right amount. I would place kava as a close 2nd behind weed and then finally alcohol. Never tried anything else. And since I'm out of Kava at the moment, wine and vodka is on the menu tonite

I wouldn't call it "furious" but I tend to drink at a pretty good pace.

Slow and steady with the beer, fast and furious with the hard liquor. That's how I roll.

I quit drinking at home. If I'm out with friends I'll put a nipple on a beer or margarita.

I like a beer at the end of the week, after some hard yakka or a round of golf, but normally a white wine and soda or just a red...usually drink slowing, but finish the bottle.
My cousin brews spirits, so after a round of gold we usually try the latest bottle of bourbon!

Always fast and furious. I don't drink alcoholic beverages though.

The majority of the time I just have one drink a night if I'm at home or at a friend's house... often with dinner if it's a beer, or after dinner if it's a cocktail or straight liquor. (I almost never drink wine, just have never gotten into it.) Sometimes I will have a second but not usually.

If I'm "out" at bars, I'll go through them fairly quickly, though "furious" seems a little too much. But I haven't done that in several months. (In other news, I am old.)

Slow and steady. When I was younger I'd drink fast and get drunk. Now I can comfortably maintain a light buzz all night long, have a great night with friends, and wake up feeling fine in the morning.

I usually start drinking beer slow and steady, but end up downing them pretty quickly by the end of the night.

I drink quickly, but I don't drink a lot. I usually have a few beers then just stop because I'd rather not get sick/hungover, so I stop when I get a decent buzz and I know I won't wake up the next day feeling like death.

If I'm out, I start with a beer, and then drink whisky the rest of the night. Pretty slow, and there's a length limit. If I'm at an all day event, I'll get tired of alcohol, and that'll be it for the rest of the day. IOW, I'll get buzzed, quit drinking, and that's it. I don't try to reclaim the buzz.

Usually I drink imperial stouts, IPAS, or belgian quads. I drink about 1 drink every 30 minutes or so.

Sometimes I drink liquor instead, maybe a glass of Jager or Amaretto or Lemoncillo

Sometimes I drink mixed drinks, maybe cognac with juice or whisky with coke, or gin with tonic.

Most of the time, I have 1 or 2 drinks and keep my composure.

Sometimes I have more.

Slow and steady. I don't really let myself get sloshed anymore. Stick to hard booze mostly.
