I normally have 3 kegs on tap. If something isn't going to be drunk regularly, I will bottle it and get it into our Troll Closet (under the stairs) to make room for something else.

Some beers go fast, I did a Maris Otter-Azacca SMaSH that only lasted 2 weeks; and a SMaSH Maris Otter-Huell Melon that took two months, so not so fast. I share as much as I can with friends and co-workers, but for safety's sake, that is not as often as it used to be.

The wines go straight to bottle, the ciders and sours go into a keg only to carbonate and then get bottled. I just started using a carbonation lid with my kegs, so that speeds up carbonation from two weeks to 1-2 days.

I'm not sure we can fairly judge each other's alcoholism, especially when one is chained to the desk in the living room for 12 hours a day ;).
