How many beers do you drink a day?

[JBrady]

Just wondering what every ones average daily beer consumption is. I drink 4 beers a day average with a 8 beer maximum maybe one day a week, especially during nascar and college football season. Whats yours?

P.S.--I searched the forum to make sure there wasn't already a thread like this

When I drink beer, I only have one.

At a time.

 

[bbrim]

I usually like one with dinner and one after, but some days I will drink 3 or 4. Any more than that and I start to get a little drunk.

When I was younger every Friday I would buy at least a 6 pack and maybe have 1 -2 a week . . . When that shelf in the fridge filled up I'd drink them all to make more room the next weeks ritual . . . Something I still do 20+ years later . . . Now days I just have more friends and family to help out through the week.

Still a binge drinker . . . I save up all my 1-2 beers a day and cash them in about once a month.

I usually drink about 3 a night, on average. Maybe a few more if I'm hanging with friends. College Football season is the exception. All bets are off on those Saturdays.

 

[eppo]

during the week, i might have 1 or 2 over the course of the week. on the weekends i might have a few.
i'm trying to lose weight right now so i'll only have 1 or 2 after work some nights if i'm stressed.

 

[petep1980]

I prob ave 2 a night. I never drink on Sunday or Monday or Thur for whatever reason. Tues night I'll have 2, Wed 2, and Fri and Sat 4-6 each day.

Money and my pants are getting a little tight, so we're on only homebrew budget. A micro growler can cost ~$13 to fill, and a homemade one about $4 to make, so we're trying to cut back. With that said I really need to cut back.

I like to stay with 1-2 per night and maybe 3-4 on the weekends, but that is spread of the whole day.

 

[griffondg]

2 per day most days, ocasionally 3-4 on the weekends. Right now I'm in the midst of losing 20 pounds so 2 per day is the limit.

This is exactly how I do it. Something about watching sports that makes a glass always empty.

 

[Slipgate]

You should have a category for 0-1. I have 1 beer maybe 1-2 times/week. More on the weekends. But I also drink a glass of wine or 2 1-2 nights a week. Occasionally Brandy too.

 

[Beernik]

Ditto.

Unless I really need to empty bottles for bottling the next batch, I drink 0 - 3 beers a week. My alternates are mojitos and screwdrivers.

 

[JBrady]

wow, as compared to the rest of the herd, I guess I drink a little on the heavy side. lol

 

[RushN24]

I used to have 1 a night maybe 3-4 times a week when I bought craft, but now that I brew my own and have plenty on hand I find myself drinking 2-3 a night with nights off here and there. Sometimes I'll just have a 22oz, which really is a perfect serving IMO.

 

[Conodor]

I'm a binge drinker. After hockey games I have 2-3 big drafts.(twice a week)

Then of I have an event Friday or Saturday I pound them until my wife drives me home.

But the rest of the time I rarely even have 1. I Guess of I were in denial I would say I'm a "social drinker"

 

[JohnnyO]

I have 1-2 per night, 3 on some occasions, during the week. On the weekend, I usually up my intake to 4-6.

 

[TXCrash]

I normally have 1-2 beers every night, some nights (this whole week actually) I'll have none. Then there'll be weeks where I go back to the keggorator 4-5 times a night all week.

I voted 1-2 but my drinking really depends on many outside influences. When I started homebrewing, it was definitely 4-5 a night...

 

[david_42]

Where's the less than one a day? Much as I love beer, I don't drink every day.

 

[JBrady]

I can't find out how to edit a poll, if i knew I would put a option for those who drink less, sorry

 

[TomRep]

I voted 3-5 as an average. Some week days I may only have one or none, while on the weekends I will normally have 5-7 throughout the day.

to change the topic at hand slightly, I don't quite understand how alot of you can be homebrewers but actually drink so little beer on a weekly basis. I undertand that my comment is only my opinion, but in my case, me and the swmbo love our creations so much that we can't help but drink at the LEAST two a day.

 

[brewagentjay]

I drink if you average them out 1 to 2 a day. I usually only drink on weekends mostly. I catch on the weekends. I could however go a week or two with out a single drink as well. Them some times I'll put a case away in a day with no worries.....

 

[JBrady]

I'm not trying to say that to be a homebrewer you got to drink so much beer, but AS a homebrewer I know how good this stuff can be and don't understand how some can drink so little of it, maybe I am just and drunk lol, or younger than the majority, lol

I hear ya, even as much as I do drink, I can go days or weeks without it if I choose. If i couldn't I would probaly have to rethink how much I consume on a daily basis

 

[Wellshooter]

Are we counting the number of ounces, pints, quarts or gallons?

 

[RushN24]

I think I'm noticing a small trend here. Earlier this morning there was a much higher proportion of people voting 1-2 beers than 3-5. The proportion is steadily shrinking as the 3-5 drinkers start waking up from there heavier sleep. LOL the 1-2 drinkers were the ones up earlier.

 

[JBrady]

AHHH, Nice obserbvation RushN

I'd debate your argument if I hadn't slept in this morning and came to work late...


I'm in the 2 beer area most nights, but voted 3-5 because sometimes there's a hockey game on or I'm thirsty or stressed. This thread makes me feel better about it though

+1...sporting events and summer night backyard fires can empty a keg real fast

 

[PhillieBrewer]

I usually have about 1 a night during the weekdays, but on the weekends it can range. During baseball season though it's up for grabs, anywhere from 2 a night to 6
