4 to 5 months here..lol. I usually have wine during the week, considering I grow grapes and have about 500 bottles aging right now.
 
3-5weeks per keg. With a pipeline brewing a 5gal batch a week.

Depends in the gravity mostly. Usual gravity 2-4weeks per keg. I have a 3tap kegerator. The higher gravity stuff I still have a gallon or so of a strong spiced ale 9.1%ABV that's been on tap for a year now.

My wife sadly doesn't drink beer so a keg lasts me 3-4 weeks if it's just me drinking it. I got my buddy into AG brewing last month and we share our brews with our band and friends who swing by our jam space. With 4-8 people drinking out of the kegs we go through about 1 a week. Right now we're working on our own recipes and getting to know our equipment so we encourage everyone who stops by to drink as much as they want. I can't believe how cheap it is to brew when you buy your grain and hops in bulk otherwise we couldn't afford to give away all that brew lol.
 
Depends what it is. 4% ABV hefeweizen in the summer, with help, 3 weeks. I have a barleywine that's been in the keg for about a year and will probably take a couple more years to finish it off.

For something like a barleywine I think I'd just bottle it. I have 5 taps, but usually only 3 have beer and the other 2 are for water/soda. I'm the only beer drinker in the house and I drink probably 2 pints/day on average. A keg will last me what seems forever since I rotate between the taps. I do a little dance when a keg finally kicks and I can move whatever I have in secondary into a keg allowing me to brew again. I brew about once a month to every six weeks so I guess that's about how long it takes me to drink a keg. Although i'm about to bottle the 3 gallons or so of what's left of my Saison to make room for the Caribou Slobber.
 
2 to 4 weeks here, but there's 2 people drinking it.

although I did make a brown ale that was so good, it lasted 2 days, i'm never having guests over for a brew weekend again...bastards drink all my beer.
 
I made a Belgian Triple for Christmas lighting 2 years ago for when my son came home for Christmas. Lasted about 2 nights between people stopping by to sit by the fire and watch lights set to music and my oldest and his friends.
 
totally depends for me, I only have 2 kegs so i try and finish them or fill some growlers and keep them chilled so I can get more variety in the keezer. Sometimes i'll do 18L in about 2-3 weeks depending on abv and deliciousness and business of life. I will also share a few bottles with friends too.
