Once the kiddos are in bed, pop goes the bottle! I average 2 beers nightly, maybe 3 - 5 on the weekend.

xenophobe2020 said:wife constantly nags about two things
1. how much money we spend on beer/beer ingredients (i prolly average (1) 30 pack, (1) 5 gallon batch & (1) $10ish six pack per month.
2. how many beers im drinking when its just the two of us at home
because of those two thing i usually try to take 2-3 nights a week and drink nothing, these are usually tuesday, wednesday & sometimes sunday. The other nights ill usually have 1-2, once i hit 3 is when the "how many beers are you going to drink?" question comes into play. Weekends sometimes ill have 4-6 over the course of a day, if i do that on a saturday ill generally take sunday off from drinking. I find that my urge to not have to deal with nagging far outweighs any cravings for alcohol, so im pretty happy with my consumption levels. at this point in my life id say they are in the healthy range, hopefully making up for all the damage i did in my 20's.
the only time it gets unhealthy is if we have people over, go to bbq's, parties, etc. depending on who they are with sometimes ive been known to consume more in the 10-14 range.
That's funny cuz I feel so much worse
Usually don't drink on weekdays, as I don't want to waste my exercise and weight loss efforts. However on the weekends, its fair game for as many as I want!
I'm just curios how much everyone else drinks on a daily basis? I usually only knock back a pint a day, couple on Friday and Saturday.
I'm in the 'eight or nine' a night range. I can't really call it consistent. Some nights, I get that wild hair and drink 15. Some nights three or four. It's usually a mix of homebrew and BMC.
I lived in Germany for 10 years and after all my "conditioning" with the locals, no one could keep up with me stateside
To answer the OP's question.....my Irish heritage tells me to drink every bottle in the damn fridge, but normally limit myself to either none or 1 a night during the week. Weekends I'll put back 7 or 8.
i love the doctor's question, how many beverages do you drink a week? 1-5? 6-10? then they look at me...and i say 25-30! LOL
Not only was I in Germany for 10 years my wife is also German. Beer is the main grocery item over there. We both love beer. So if I have ready homebrew, Im drinking 4 or 6 pints a night, if no brew is ready I'm drinking wine.
Only if you go to the meetings....3-4 sitting around at home, and up to 9 when I go out. Damn, I might just be an alcoholic.

AA is for quitters. Also I'm not an alcoholic I don't got to meetings I'm a drunk
One of my old friends said that when he was at Ft. Leonard Wood (Army basic?) some guys drank mouthwash as a way to get drunk. I don't need a buzz that badly.I was court ordered to 24 sessions of AA once. It's a great thing for the people who need it. However, it only convinced me that I certainly WAS NOT an alcoholic. If I'm out of beer my wife's perfume does not seem like an acceptable alternative.
