How many beers do you drink a day?

[BlueSunshine]

Might have 1 or 2 during the weekdays if I feel like it and then I'll have a few on the weekends.

This problem is that I bottle with 34 oz. IKEA bottles so I drink them exclusively on the weekends. Not that's necessarily alot of beer, but drinking one of them is just under 3 beers which I usually don't do on weekdays.

 

[godofcheese]

1 a night at the most usually. Really, its more like one every other day. Also depends on what I have in the fridge. Im a type 1 diabetic so some beers mess me up more then others so I tend to drink them less often. Not that I don't like them though . . . .

 

[TheMan]

I have 0 beers during the week, for fitness reasons. After I started brewing I noticed the pounds packing on because I was having 2-3 a night lol. So I cut myself back to only drinking beer on the weekend. Friday to Sunday I drink however much I feel like.

During the week if I feel like a drink I go for whiskey or vodka, sometimes red wine.

Obviously my 0 beers a weekday thing gets blown off if I have a particular beer I've been waiting to try for some time...I give in on occasion.

i'm still young and dumb. a normal week day will see probly about 6 a night and weekends it's a 12 pack or more. i like to grab a beer first thing after waking up. at least it's good microbrew though instead of bmc.

 

[rod]

1 during the week and 6-8 between sat and sunday so it averages to 1-2 per day.
i was having 1-2 every night but the weight gain was giving me grief

 

[mosquitocontrol]

This thread has made me feel much better about myself! I'm usually at about 2-3 on weekdays. Except for Monday margaritas. Friday/Saturday/Sunday more like 6.

Sunday Football kills all of this.
Baseball season makes it more like 3-4 a night.

I'm trying to cut back to lose some recent weight gain. But it hasn't worked too well this past week.

are you a im a alcoholics?

 

[billvon]

1-2 per day, generally. With all these 10% beers I can't drink much more than that and not get drunk. Yes, I'm a lightweight.

We did a liveaboard dive trip in Australia one year. Four days, 4-5 dives a day. They had a pretty good selection of beer on board, but I was exhausted at the end of every day and had maybe one.

Coming back into port I was talking to one of the crew about why they stocked so much beer. "Oh, we have runs where it all gets drunk." "Really?" I asked. "Yeah, just last week one guy drank a total of 50 over 3 days." "Did he make all the dives?" I asked. "Yep" she said.

AA is for quitters and my momma didn't raise no quitter. in all seriousness though I can go just fine without alcohol. I been here in Iraq since last march and I've been just fine sober. I just really enjoy the taste of beer, the buzz is just a nice side effect.

 

[skirunnr]

I gave up drinking on weekdays for lent. Never have I wanted a homebrew, micro brew.... even BMC on a random Tuesday.

Haha sorry... it's a HBT "meme": linky

Thanks for your service!

I should have thought of that....I gave it up completely for lent. Maybe because I was in the 3-5 per weeknight range. It was exponentially more than that during college football season, I drowned my sorrows after my Longhorns lost in the BCS game Oh well, there is always next season and plenty more batches to make...HOOK'EM HORNS!!

 

[AirBronto]

I might have 1 on a week night. On the week ends I have no problems drinking as many as I wish but this is hilariously only 2 to 4. I dont like getting drunk to often as I dont like getting to disconnected from my mind.

I guess I'm still pretty young too and drink ~3 a day and 5+ on weekends if I am home.

Beer in the morning is great if you have a hangover. Its a tested Russian remedy to hangovers. Try it next time you have a hangover - when you wake up feeling all nasty drink some home brew and you will feel better.

 

[Retarded_Penguin_Brewing]

i think my favorite hangover remedies are greasy foods with carbs(pizza, burgers, etc.) or as you stated, more alcohol.

He's right I can testify. Russian people just advocate drinking period though, we love it, and it is part of our culture.

[LVBen]

Only 1 per day

 

[Martlet]

I only drink at the dropzone. That means no drinking all winter, then Friday and Saturday nights in the summer I'll have 2 beers, 3 tops.

 

[ToddO]

No beers at all during the week - a sixer or so on Friday night. On Saturday I can put down a 12er throughout the day if I am at home doing stuff (drinking). Sunday probably another 6er throughout the day.

 

[kabrew]

I'll have 2 at least 5 times a week and once or twice that will move up to 3. only time i'll past 3 is for events (hanging with friends). Prob only have more than 4 a few times a year.

so yeah, i drink almost every night, but limit my consumption.

 

[PanzerBanana]

Depends on the day, week, or month.

Sometimes I'll go a couple weeks without just to clear the system. I'll also hold off before we have a get together with out friends, so it's easier to enjoy the side effects during a festive occasion.(There is no driving involved, we get all we need before hand)

Now this week, I'm over my average, but only because I've been doing a heap of beer research for my own brewing. So I've had a couple of 3 beer evenings. Because I had to go retry a few "standards" and retry a couple of styles with a new found knowledge.

Had a couple "recreation" beers just because beer's been on the brain this week. hehe

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

I have cut the drinking down during the week for health reasons. Weekends I am trying to stay under 6 on Saturday and Sunday. I also though drink pretty high abv brews.

 

[BBKing]

Usually 2 a day. Sometimes 3 (Imperial Pints)

I'll have one with dinner with the exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays (class nights) and one (sometimes 2) before my boy goes to sleep.

Weekends its whatever I feel like.

And the only time I drink before dinner is in the summer when my friend and I go fishing. Then we drink a growler before 9 lol

 

[ronaldo_fanbelt]

I try not to drink more than 6 a night during the work week, but then once the weekend gets here I will drink about double that.

 

[PhelanKA7]

2-3 at most usually if at all. If i'm at a party, watching a Colts game with friends, or at one of my favorite breweries I'll indulge and drink 4-5 if I have a DD. But that's generally once a month or so.

One thing I will say though is I don't like having JUST one beer. I tend to drink my beers 2 at a time.

Absolutely. Good call!

 

[Endovelico]

Average of 0.5 a day.

 

[shaneogle89]

Bringing this thread out of retirement....sitting here at work enjoying this threat so I will chip in on this conversation haha! I usually drink 2 beers a night, sometimes 3. I just like to come home and get a nice lil buzz of my homebrew, relax and watch some tv

 

[zeg]

Wow, zombie threads!

My beer drinking is regular, but not heavy. I'm pretty consistent with 1 per day, with dinner. Almost never more than that, and some days I don't feel like drinking anything alcoholic. For me, any more than that on a regular basis seems unnecessary. That was my consumption pattern long before I began brewing, as well. I like my beer, but don't feel any urges to drink large quantities to show my appreciation.

Incidentally, I'm not fond of the stereotype that home brewers are all heavy drinkers. "Mostly" maybe, but not "all!" My reason for brewing is not that I want more beer, I just want better beer. So far so good!

 

[Bobcatbrewing42]

I've retired now and us old guys can't drink 3 beers and not get up 4 times a night. I often have one for lunch, one before dinner and one during. No more beer after 7 or so or the night will be long.
