How long does it take to finish a 5 gallon corny?

I started kegging about 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure I don't drink any more than I did before I had beer on tap. Of course, I don't drink any less, either. :cool:

Seriously, 5 gal lasts me about 3-4 weeks if I don't give any away.
 
I'll fall back on another beer/bartender joke...I only have two beers a night; the first, and the last. Kegging makes it harder to keep track, since I have many sizes of glasses; pints, tasters from beer festivals, snifters, and the ever-ready Costco red solo cups that live in the garage. But it's nice if I'm just getting home from work at 11pm and just want a taster to help me sleep.
 
I just finished a rye pale ale bottled 6 to give away, keg kicked in about 10 days just myself 5 gallon batches
 
4-6 weeks depending how much I share / give away. I'm not that heavy of a drinker and usually stop after I'm feeling pretty good. As I've gotten older (and tired of hangovers) I drink more for flavor than getting wasted lol. Even more so if the surf is good, I'll forgo the extra drink if it means I'll wake up in time to catch the surf before the winds pick up the next day.

With that said, if I wasn't so serious about surfing I'd probably drink more haha.
 
About a month as I only have maybe 2 pints a night during the week. Maybe a bit more on the weekends.

I also have a bourbon as my night cap.
