What, how often and how much do you drink?

[prarieboy]

Inspired by the Light Beer is for old folks thread I wondered how often people were drinking their spirit of choice.

I guess I fall into the old guy category as Troutman pointed out.

I like to drink Red Wine, Cab Sauve usually but most any kind will do. I open a bottle 19 days out of 20 and my wife will have one glass and I'll have the rest.

I throw in the odd beer on the weekend.

[Coach]

when i drink beer its usually Keiths. But for the most part Im a rum and coke guy

[Berger_4_]

Beer- Keiths usually but I've been known to switch it up from time to time.
If I'm going hard, gotta go with Tangle Ridge or Crown Royal either on the rocks or with Coke. Had a buddy just about die off of rum, so I try not to touch that stuff anymore.

[Hack&Lube]

1 large mug coffee from 9AM to 12PM

2 glasses water from 1PM - 3PM

1 glass water from 3PM-7PM

2 glasses water from 7 PM to 8PM

1 cup tea from 9PM-12AM

If I was less lazy and had more money, I'd sip through a bottle of wine every 3 days.

If I am drinking alcohol on a regular basis...it's a 12 pack of President's Choice Non-Alcoholic Brew

[Russic]

Haven't had more than a sip in almost 7 years. Yep ... I'm that guy. All due to a disease I may or may not have. Long story.

[Eastern Girl]

I don't drink anymore, but back in the day, I was all about whiskey and whiskey sours. I never drank coolers, wine or beer. I only liked the hard stuff...

[Caged Great]

I have an occasional one, but I don't really enjoy being drunk so i don't see the point in getting hammered just to get hammered.

[CaramonLS]

Go hard or go home.

I've drank (at least 1 alcoholic drink) probably 15 times this year and it usually involves 12-25 drinks in a night.

Usually Beer (Kokanee, Rickards or Keiths) to start, then vodka mixes doubles/triples (vodka waters, gingers, whatever), then shots (Jag or whatever) then beer to end the night.

Yeah, I make my own wine and would love to polish off a bottle every night, but I'm trying to keep relatively fit. I restrict myself to one glass with dinner. Well, I try to.

Other than that, on occasion, its...

Beer - usually Newcastle or Corona
Rum - Appleton and Coke, or cranberry juice.
Tequila - with lime. Best alcohol on the planet. If you havent tried good tequila (over $50 a bottle, so not the stuff you get at the bar), you havent tasted alcohol heaven
Absinthe - with Red Bull. Party drink. Just takes one to kick the evening off.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

I usually have Keith's on Saturday night, unwind and chat/party with friends.

Other than that I'll mix it up from time to time with rum & coke, or vodka and something.

Shots wise I'll generally stick to shots that aren't too bad tasting, however even then I'll mix it up with fireball and tequila.

Non-Alcoholic beer is not alcohol

Me - when drinking, it's beer exclusively. Usually Keiths or MGD when I'm going hard, but I've been taking a liking to the Wild Rose stuff too. I'll have 5-6 beers over the course of a weekend...upwards of 10 in one night every 6 weeks or so

[octothorp]

Two or three beers a couple times a week, usually at softball, and then a couple nights a week I might have a bit of scotch, bourbon or vodka, probably two ounces. I'd say maybe once in the last year I've actually gotten drunk, I'm usually pretty disciplined about stopping after a couple.

[socalwingfan]

Don't drink during the week, on the weekends:

6 - 12 beer - Fat Tire, Newcastle, Guinness, Peroni or Samuel Smiths (33 if I go for Pho)
5 or 6 Jack and Ginger

[csnarpy]

Weekdays = no drinking

Friday & Saturday = 1 vodka & Redbull, 4 corona & a shot of GM

[Slava]

^mmmmmmm Fat Tire!!

[flip]

Usually a couple drinks at the pub 1 or 2 nights a week. Then anywhere between 5-15 beers/drinks at the pub on the weekend, although I only go hard about once every 2 weeks.

If I'm drinking for pleasure it is Rickards White, Guinness, La fin du monde or the occasional glass of Johnnie Walker Black (neat of course) at home.

At the pub to get drunk Kokanee, Keiths or double rye and water. With some Red bull and rye thrown in.

[KTown]

If I have beer in the fridge I like to drink it.

I drink about 3 beer a night.

On the week-ends I drink more if I am hanging with friends and/or family.

If there is no beer in the fridge, I will not go to the store to get it as I got too many other things to do

I really just enjoy beer for the taste, and no you can't say non-alcoholic beer tastes the same because it doesn't.

Some say I could be an alcoholic, but I have no problem to stop drinking if the doctor told me so or I will die.

[photon]

I really dislike the taste of alcohol. I don't mind some wines, I've never found a beer I like, and I don't even like coolers.

[kermitology]

Last drink was a scotch on August 9th, going to stay dry until October.

Generally I drink beer. One bottle every so often after work. A few more on weekends, depending on the weekend.

[Bagor]

Buy beers in 12s, variable types. Lasts about a week with random drinks here and there.

Occasional glass of wine. Never spirits. Can't stand the smell of whisk(e)y.

Just curious but what's the deal with that? Why is it so popular?

i.e. mixing a depressant and a stimulant. Do you get a more hyper type of drunk?
