I'm all over the map on this one. Some days none at all, some days 1 or 2, some days 3 or 4. Almost every friday I probably have about 7 or 8. Some saturdays I'll have a few, others I won't. I probably average 15-20 beers a week. Now that I say it like that, I feel naughty.
Remember I am 22, still in college. We are all health nuts and up until my surgeries to repair sports injuries I could drink as much as I wanted and it wouldn't effect my performance noticably.
I am now in the "washed up athlete" phase since my parents told me if I need another surgery before I have my own medical insurance, it is coming out of my own pocket I have added a little body fat since my last one in december so we all agreed no drinking on weekdays.
I'm 38 and nowhere near as fast as I used to be, though I am a lot stronger than when I was 22 (50 extra pounds will tend to reduce speed and improve strength). I know a lot more now and have a better mental approach to all the sports I play.

None lately,We're broke for the moment. Being retired does that. But,when we have money &/or HB around,maybe 2-3 by myself,6-10 if with my wife & it's average gravity stuff. But hey,I am German/Slovak after all,not to mention half of me is a red neck.
So we can put it away. Sometimes,none,sometimes a little,sometimes a lot. It varies quite a bit. Sue me,I like my beer!:cross:
Usually one a day for me. Beer for breakfast has actually become a lot more common for me for some reason. Started with me opening up a bomber at night, pouring out half and putting the cap back on in the fridge. Of course I don't want super flat beer, so I'd just pull it out and have it with my breakfast the next morning.
Kind of a weird habit, even for me, but a somewhat flat stout goes surprisingly well with eggs and sausage.
I actually keep track with a calender template that I print out every month. Elevated liver enzymes scared me a little a few months back. I keep my average for the month to less that 2 per day and never go over 6 in one day. I've also tried to seriously limit my intake of any beer over 6% alcohol.
I'm half Irish, and the half that's not Irish is half German..... After seeing all the standard DUI checkpoint answers to the op's question, I hesitate to say how many a night. But I do have 1-2 beers with my dinner most nights. Few more after that. It really depends on mood, company, what kind of beer, whether or not I have to wake up early, etc.
I try to go a couple nights each week without a beer. Usually Mon/Tues. The weeknights I drink it's usually 1-2 pints. Never more than 3-4, as I work at 7am, and it just makes for a long day.
Weekends.... Completely dependent on what's going on.
Actually, I'm trying to curtail my consumption to Sat & Sun. in the interest of reducing caloric intake. I've been pretty successful so far. That effort plus watching what I eat has made me 35 lbs lighter.
1-3 bottles a night. Never more than 3, but rarely less than 1 Being a homebrewer has definitely increased my quantity since I like the beer I make and am damn proud of it! I also try and go without a drink at least 1 night a week, but only because of a warped sense that if I can do that, I must not be an alcoholic. Whatever you need to tell yourself to get by...
