CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 If at home - far too much. If out - moderately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 booze yeah? I do drink, but it's a bit sporadic. During November, my drinking would have been something very close to this (though I didn't keep records) Week 1 - 0 units - nothing at all. Week 2 - 4 units - maybe a single glass of wine Saturday, another Sunday, home, remainder poured away down sink mid week. Week 3 - 25 / 30 units - one midweek bottle of cider, Saturday a couple of decent sized whiskies at home, 4 pints of lager in an hour, large brandy, large whiskey at a gig venue. Week 4 - 4 units - one glass of wine, one bottle of poncey designer lager beer, home. ------ Nothing so far this Monday & Tuesday, probably nothing through until Friday. Welsh Cup home game Saturday, clubhouse open, I'll be drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2015 Typical week: Monday - two pints of ale in the pub Tuesday - one or two bottles of beer OR half a bottle of wine with evening meal Wednesday - as Tuesday Thursday - as Tuesday Friday - half a bottle of wine with evening meal, possibly a large Scotch or brandy as nightcap Saturday - as Friday Sunday - possible Scotch or sherry as aperitif, half a bottle of wine with dinner, probably a brandy to follow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2015 Almost nothing. When I go out I'll drink a lot, but that's not that often anymore. I never have the urge to drink at home 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted December 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2015 I voted 6-10, as when I drink (normally a Saturday evening-occasional Thursday evening), that's the number of pints/shorts I'm likely to drink on a given night. I'll normally have at least one full week off a month though. For instance, I was dry between 8th and 25th of November. But a stag do in which I basically lived on and fell in love with Murphy's put paid to that. Across an average month, maybe anything between 15-30 alcoholic drinks.

dAVe80 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Most weeks, it's just a weekend. Lately, just on a Friday. Normally around the 10 pint mark. Other weeks Friday and Saturday. In the week, very rarely. All depends really. This week for instance, I was at a gig yesterday and drank 4 pints. Tonight I've been to a music quiz, and drank 5 pints. I'll defo be out on Friday night, and that'll probably be around the 10 pint mark. If I go out on Saturday, it'll be about the same, maybe more. Drink isn't a problem for me, I can take it or leave it. I do enjoy a good sup, and can drink with the best of them, when I feel like it. All depends on the circumstances really.

lapal_fan Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I don't drink much. Sometimes I'll have a whiskey on a week night, but that's maybe once every couple of months. I've got about 6 bottles of unopened whiskey. If I go out to drink (such as the pub crawl last week), then I'll have a drink in every pub we go to, I think it was probably about 8 pints throughout the day (inc a couple of margaritas). I might occasionally have a glass of wine with dinner on a weekend, but I can't remember when I last did that. I probably drink more prosecco/champagne for occasions than I do wine. Me and the Mrs had a bottle of prosecco when the Bake Off programme was on. Beer, when I'm out in a pub I'll have a couple, if I'm not driving. I dunno, I'm very irregular when it comes to drinking. It doesn't bother me not drinking in the slightest, but if I go out for a pub crawl (about 2/3 times a year), then I'll drink quite a lot (for me).

Genie Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Average between 0 and 4 beers a week. Often 0. Sometimes have a beer watching the football or playing Xbox. Don't go out that often anymore where I've probably have half a dozen drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 lately I#ve been generally good at keeping it to a couple of glasses of wine during the week and maybe a beer / guinness at the weekend, vastly reduced levels. The odd bit of whiskey. I've kept one bottle going since June! Last year I could get through a bottle of single malt or bourbon a week. Until this week, and I suspect December won't be a great month - 4 beverages on sat, 5 last night, at least a couple more this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm a binge drinker , I'll go months and months without a drop and then when I do go out it becomes a huge session .. If I go out with my mates for a beer and curry and it's likely to end at 23:00 - 23:30 then I'd rather not drink ..it's 4am or nothing !! (or an all day session ) Think my last drink was back in September , next one is planned for Dec 12th .. haven't got anything planned for 2016 yet but never say never Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 2, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 2, 2015 This is one of those where the poll asks a different question than the top post does. Poll is asking for your average week. Post is asking how much you drink when you do go out drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Most of the time between 1-5 a week, maybe 5-10 if I go out drinking, but that's rarely more than once a month now. I did go through a period of having 5-6 bottles of fairly strong ale a night, at home, alone, in the dark, probably 10-15 a day at the weekend. It's kind of scary how quickly it went from 1 or 2 with dinner, to not being able to sleep without having had a few drinks. then about 6 months of being tee total, before I decided that was boring as **** and self control couldn't be that hard. Typically a couple of bottles to ease the pain when Villa are playing, and maybe 2-3 over dinner with a film on a Friday or Saturday night.

choffer Posted December 2, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2015 I drink so rarely these days. I can go weeks or even months without having a drink. I rarely have anything in the house (actually, that's not true - I have a full wine-rack and a few expensive spirits but nothing I would consider opening "just because"). Very occasionally, if I'm doing a big shop, I might pick up a few bottles of beer but they'll be gone within a couple of days. Can't remember the last time I did this though. I really don't go out drinking these days either. Nine times out of ten, I'd rather drive than have a drink. I'm at that point in life where all my friends are married with kids and nobody goes out for a session anyway. I'd say more months than not, my intake would be zero but every once in a while it'll be a few drinks here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Binge drink fortnightly on a Wednesday evening. Drink a few every Fri & Sat. 21-30 units per week on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
