Default How much beer do you drink?

So I have about 1 pint a night between Monday and Thursday and maybe 2 pints a night on Friday and Saturday. Sometimes 3-4. My wife thinks I drink way too much.

How much does everyone else consume?

You're wife is insane, divorce her. I'm not even really a drinker anymore but if she can't put up with that, my lord.

I go out for beers once or twice between Sunday and Thursday and have around 3-4 pints at each outing.

Friday and Saturday, let's just say, I don't keep track.

You definitely have a problem in my opinion.







It isn't your drinking though.

Sunday - Thursday, I usually don't drink but that changes if I go to a Flames Game or a post hockey bevvy with the team.

Friday-Sat, its a toss up sometime 2 pints to 6 pints over the two days.

Not near what I used to. A few on the weekends from time to time, maybe one or two throughout the week.

Friday and Saturday nights I'll probably drink between 5-10 a night and usually one night a week I'll go out to dinner or wings and have 2 or 3.

Met up with a buddy for lunch today and had two pints. I'll definitely have a few more this weekend for Super Bowl. Doesn't sound to me like you have a problem. Can I ask, do you usually drink at home or out with the guys?

Probably about 25-30 drinks a year. 90% of those during golf season.

That's a lot, I wouldn't be a happy wife either.

Maybe cut that in half.

I like my beer. If they are in the fridge Id put back one or two a night. Game nights at the dome 2-3.

Why?

Serious question, I've seen other couples where the wife/girlfriend wants the guy to drink less, but unless it's an issue of behaviour because of too much (and a couple of bottles doesn't do that does it? I don't know I hate most beer), what would be the reasons behind limiting beer intake?

Health? Cost? Just curious what the reasons would be.
