Average Drinking.....

[Whut]

Betty Ford can kiss my @ss!

I'll drink to that! But then again, I'll hoist a barley pop to just about anything

 

[BrewBrain]

.763 beers/night during the week. 1.246 beers/night on weekends.

4.349 beers on poker night and I'm wearing undies on my head. I can't keep them on after the second beer though.

 

[SkewedBrewing]

I'm at about 1-2 a weeknight, skipping a night or two a week, and much, much more on the weekends.

 

[Dwain]

They lock me up each night in the Mayberry jail and let me out in the morning to go to work.

Hell, even Otis could let himself in & out!
6/night, sometimes more on weekends. - Dwain

 

[bubbachunk]

10-12 on night I got out, 2-3 times a week.

 

[chri5]

I usually have 1-2 a night, more on weekends. Depends upon what is on TV. Baseball games tends to get me to drink a bit more than usual.

 

[knob]

Usually have 2-4 on nights that I'm off (I work 12 hour shifts, so I only work 3 days a week). When I go out, I switch to Bud Light (BMC is about all there is for selection in local bars) and can finish off 10 - 20 of them.

 

[Ryno]

Usually I'll have 2-3 at 7:00 am during the week, then a lot more on the weekends....
yes I work nights.....................suks

 

[JesseRC]

I drink 2 before /with dinner. After that, I just can't takem down. I guess I should start skipping dinner so I can drink more. Right now its more of a drink to wind down while cooking, and a desert with my meal

 

[Sigafoos]

Now that I've got a keg in the basement, I'll have 1/2-3/4 of a glass while cooking, then top myself off while we eat. A night or two off maybe if we're busy, etc. Weekends aren't much different, though I tend to do beer-related stuff then (club meetings, brewing, etc) so of course I'll have more. Some of you people are crazy though.

 

[Nugu]

5-9 bottles (12 oz) a week, generally never more than 2 a day ever except on a rare weekend where I'll have a max of 5 in one night.

I'm a light weight and it only takes 2 beers to give me a good buzz. 6 beers and I may end up with a small hangover.

 

[LooyvilleLarry]

2-3 a night on weekdays and on the weekends i punish my liver.

The liver is EVIL, it MUST be punished.

 

[Kuglehaus]

One with Lunch - usually
None in the evening on Weekdays
Saturday - if not doing chores/kids games - 2-3
Sunday - Brewday!... 5

But... in context

 

[TexLaw]

I rarely drink during the week unless I go out with friends. I rarely don't have a drink on the weekends, no matter what I'm doing.

[mcmidc]

I probably average 1-3 during the week, and anywhere from that to a dozen or more on weekends. Depends on what is going on.

 

[chris1979]

just recently got kegging so its hard to say. to darn easy to go pour half a glass. but id say 1 to 3 week nights. maybe six weekend nights

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

Monday - Scouts (No Beer )
Tuesday - Scouts (No Beer )
Wednesday - "Boo Lois, Yay Beer!" (3 or 4 Imperial Pints)
Thursday - One Pint (recover from Wednesday)
Friday - All bets are off, four pints for sure
Saturday - See Friday
Sunday - Two, maybe three pints

So average is about 1.5 pints a day.

Luckily, I have four kegs on tap, two aging, two lagering and two fermenters about to be kegged.

 

[Ryan099]

at parties i drink up to two beers , but in my usual routine, i consume lesser amounts, i have myths about the right amount of beer intake, within the safe limits, please brief me about this.

 

[user 33090]

6 beers a week usually. Only drink 1 or 2 on a night (i.e., usually just have 2 on wed or thurs, then two on friday and maybe 1 or 2 on saturday).

 

[Joos]

anywhere from 3-8 on weekdays,and lots on weekends.40-50 a week.And yes I get up at 6:30 am everyday.For work and a 2 year old.I don't get drunk too often though.I guess that makes me a functional alcoholic

Ha!

I remember when I came back from Germany TDY for 3 months for BNOC (Army school), two buddy's (all 3 of us went to boot and were stationed together the first 4 years we were in the Army) of mine ended up at the same place.

The first weekend we had a major beer consumption session. I could not get a freakin' buzz off the beer. Couldn't do it. After drinking German beer for over a year at that point, my stomach could not physically hold enough budweiser for me to get a buzz. I actually filled up with beer to the point of bursting.....and was stone cold sober. I had consumed at that point, an entire 24pk of cans myself.

I learned my lesson though......the next weekend I warmed up with a couple shots.......problem solved.

Monday - Scouts (No Beer )

I'm pretty sure that if you are young enough to be in boy scouts you shouldn't be drinking.

 

[nutcase]

eh. i pretty much drink at least 3 to 4 good beers a night. I love beer too damn much

 

[baru]

Guys, it all depends on what you are drinking. Not how many. I brew only 3.5-4.0 ABV session ales........So a kazillion per day is OK, no?

I drink a kazillion bmc everyday before cracking a homebrew. I didn't know they counted.

[USMC_Brewer]

Ill drink about 6-8 beers on an average night. My friends call me an alcoholic but I just say I prefer Champion of Beer

That's what we in medicine call a loading dose and a maintenance dose

 

[The Soft Underbelly]

Sigh.... i used to drink 2-3 a day and then my wife and i enrolled in a fitness program at our gym. Since we were paying good money for it i (shockingly) decided to take it seroiusly and gave up beer for about a month - exceptions were made for family parties and the super bowl - in that time my beer gut went away. If you find him let me know......

Nowadays maybe 6 beers in a week, unless again there's a function happening. I have upped my Bourbon and wine consumption though.....

I've gone the other way with my beer consumption-- I'm drinking way less liquor now (SWMBO and I still go through a couple of bottles of wine a week though). I find a beer 30 min before dinner helps me eat less which helps me cut out the potatoes and bread...ever hear of a full bar ? Still losing weight...I guess my body likes beer carbs better than bread carbs

 

[mmb]

Weekdays: Depends on what is for dinner. BBQ, grilled food, sure. Pasta and the like, no.

Weekends: Depends on what is going on. Fight night, yup. Brewing, not till the yeast is pitched.

Average may be 8 - 10 pints a week. If we're hosting a party in that time frame, all bets are off.
