How much beer do you drink?

[the_only_turek_fan]

This thread is really interesting.

After a long day at work and a workout. I sit on the couch and say to myself "I want a Heineken."

My day really does not feel complete with out one. Does that make me an alcoholic? I can go without one for sure, but I am much more satisfied when I have one.

I hate having more than 3 though.

I live it every day. Hey, I'm a white male - it's like I won the lottery!

there's so much!

And if you have kids, it's exponential!

We have a system where we both hive off an appropriate amount of our paychecks into a fund we use for home improvement. We both make our own lists of what's actually needed and then we assign priorities to them. Things that show up on both our lists will get bought/taken care of first and I will actually partake in the acquisition / preparation part of it. With the money that's left over she can go to town at homesense / ikea / whatever under the pre-condition that these are things I do not give a fata about and therefore my participation is optional. Same goes the other way if there's things I feel strongly about that do not make her list. In practice of course my list tends to be much shorter, so while she's out at Crossiron Mills I can drink beer and watch hockey!

Just as long as your beer and nacho budget is equal to her 'throws and pillows' budget, you're golden.

Edit: golden like a crisp, delicious pilsner...

No he won't. He's too busy hiding in the closet and sneaking beers.

[Mass_nerder]

No where near as many as I did a few years ago.
I might pick up a 12 pack on a Friday or Saturday, and my girlfriend and I will finish it by the following weekend, but I don't find the urge to drink like I used to.

[Cortez]

Well, I feel a lot better about the amount of beer I drink now. Thank you

You've answered your own question.

[PeteLFan]

I love getting wasted, but then I feel like crap the next day saying I hate the feeling, then proceed to crack some beers to get that great feeling of a buzz back.

[Galakanokis]

I'll plus one the cold beer in a hot shower theory. It is refreshing and relaxing. A trick a learned over a decade ago and still practice today.

All this talk about a few beers ruining your Sunday's? Just crazy talk. If you cannot function after a few beers, especially the day after than you have no business drinking beer or anything with alcohol for that matter. But if he is using it as a excuse to get out of running to Ikea and Home Sense well than that is perfectly legit, i suffer from that as well...

Beer is my best friend but sitting at home during the week i usually dont have any. I play hockey twice a week and usually have 3 after each game. If i go for wings ill usually have 1-2 and then on Fridays and Saturdays if i go out it will be between 8-10. Summer time i still play hockey twice a week but it is nice out now so ill have between 3-5, play baseball once a week and have about 4, patios, sitting outside increases and golf starts. I drink a lot of beer.

Also if he;s drinking beer he's doing it while watching tv or something, then he buzzed everyday and can't make decisions a husband needs to make around the house.

See? That's not the kind of wife any of us occasional drinkers want either. That would drive me insane! Honey, lets go buy chopsticks! Fata that!!

For the record I drink 4-5 beers a month. But there is no way I'm going to sacrifice a relaxing Sunday to go to Ikea/crap home stores every week.

Maybe 1 or 2 beers a year. Beer tastes like bile to me.

However, I am good for 3 or 4 double Crown and cokes with a twist of lime every week. And I will never turn down a good bottle of wine.

If bile tasted like beer, I'd need to reassess my entire stance on vomiting.

[return to the red]

I drink as much as I can until my wife looks at me and says

"don't you think you've had enough?"

and then I walk away....






....to get another beer

This thread reminded me I have a growler in the fridge from the weekend I need to get through by tomorrow.
