22. I might drink 4-6 pints worth on weekdays and about the same on weekends, but it's spaced out throughout the day. And now that I brew 20 gal once a month, it's hard not to tap into the supply when you brew 5-6 cases a month. Working in a brewery doesn't help. Getting a free growler (of anything you want) almost shift you work can be tempting!
 
34. Probably have about 3-4 beers total during the work week and about 3-4/day on the weekends. I don't have a pipeline after taking some time off for moving, but I've been mostly consuming great session beers on weeknights.
 
50 yrs old

2-3 per week night
4-6 on the weekend

mostly HB, some commercial

Need to cut back - put on some weight, need to loose it !

I'll be celebrating the 15th anniversary of my 25th birthday this year. 1-2 pints after work/with dinner most days. A couple more on the weekends. Lose count when I'm with friends acting like we're celebrating my 2nd anniversary.
 
I'm 70.

I consume one pint of my home brewed beer per day. Then, a glass of wine while cooking dinner, and usually a glass with dinner. I also like to make spirits but almost never drink it. I almost never drink later at night or after dinner.

I thought my consumption was high but it looks like I'm a lightweight compared to some of you :mug:
 
40-something ;)

every day is different. sometimes i don't have a beer at all.
sometimes i'll have 4 or anything in between.
sometimes i'll have just one... 750ml bottle. usually something belgian, duvel, gulden draak, piraat, etc...

34 years old. In a given week, including weekends, i'll probably have 2-3 beers total unless there's a party or special event when i might have an extra.

I really love brewing and have nothing against drinking, I just don't drink every night haha.
 
I'll turn 42 a week from today. Don't really drink much during the week. Maybe a bottle once in a blue moon or a pint or two if we go out somewhere that has good beer. On the weekends I'd say an average of 3-4 pints total Friday-Sunday, sometimes more sometimes less.
 
I'll be 66 next month, I really don't count but I drink beer just about every day, a keg seems to last a little over a week at my house with two of us. I usually start in mid afternoon (retired) and sip slowly until I go to bed, depending of course on hat I'm doing and only at home. I'm never inebriated and I try to take my time but I do enjoy my beer. What I do kinda worry about is my growing beer gut.....
 
29. 3-4 beers a week. maybe more if what's on tap is especially good. less if all i got is commercial beer.
 
I'll play..

23, I don't count. Maybe 1-9 per day? I'm at a stressful point of my life trying to get my Ph.D, are we factoring alcohol percentage too?

Hang in there mate.... Once you get past your course work and qualifying exams things settle down for awhile... You're buried in research but it's not quite as stressful as pulling a full load with quals on the horizon.

Although, after passing my dissertation defense, I had 3rd & 4th year grad students tell me that it was the 1st time they'd seen me smile... So it wasn't a cake walk. 6.5 yrs for masters and PhD.

And to get back on topic... 49, 3-4 12oz / night... an occasional glass or two of wine with dinner... Some times a cognac or port after dinner, Some times a night cap of scotch, rum, or vodka. Usually not all on the same night...

Usually 😀
 
One month from turning 60. Daily consumption varies but rarely exceeds 4 pints from 5 PM until 9 PM. If I'm drinking strong beer it's less. I have a loose system where I mentally give points: A pint of 10% ABV beer gets 10 points, 5% ABV gets 5 points. So I try to stay around 20 points during the work week, 30 on weekends.
 
Turning 30 this month, Mon-Thursday I don't drink any alcohol. Friday and Saturday usually 2-6, and maybe 1-2 on Sunday.
 
I'm 30, and I drink at least a pint/bottle a day. Sometimes a few more, and usually a lot more when I go to my dad's or my brothers are in from out of state.
 
46. I'll have 2-5 pints a night during the week. Double that on wknds.I'm on call for a week,every 5,so I don't drink anything that week.
 
Just turned 60. Usually 2, occasionally 3, and all before or with dinner. Nothing after 7:00 or I drop off to sleep normally, but wake up at 2-3am and am up for the rest of the night.
And really age has nothing to do with it, I've never been able to drink late.

Also turning 30 this month, also just became a first time father.

No alcohol through the week. Maybe 1-2 on the weekend.

Brewing only milds, bitters, and other light/session beers this year (if I get the time!)

Congrats on becoming a father! I have two kids myself (4 & 7) and I'm 36 so very similar timing. When they get older they get more involved in activities so your time is still very involved. So it's different demands but it's all worth it 200%! Anyhow finding time to brew still feels hard for me sometimes but my kids sure know the brewing process. My oldest can't wait to try it when she's older she said. Well I let her take a sip of the OG sample (before the yeast was pitched) and let me say she may never drink beer after that. It was quite hilarious. She used to tell people I let her try beer but now she knows it wasn't beer but instead wort. Which still gets funny reactions from people.
 
I resemble that! But only 56 and retired at 46 with a bad back and shoulders and wrists...

I'll be 66 next month, I really don't count but I drink beer just about every day, a keg seems to last a little over a week at my house with two of us.

56 and who is counting! See above post! It is a muscle relaxer that works far better than the meds the docs threw at me that gave me a heart attack.. some days 2-3 some days drink enough to not hurt anymore...
