Sorry......so there is only 3/4 of you? the half that is not irish, is only half German?Half of a half is only 1/4 German.

Or maybe you wish not to disclose the half that is not irish is 1/2 german and 1/2 ALIEN?;)

Sorry! couldn't resist.

I drink 2 GIANT beers a day (24oz each)

I occasionally drink none, or one of SWMBO's Miller Lites (which equals nothing), OR very occasionally, 4-5 of the big steins.

More like half ninja!




See, I'm over here now! :ban:
 
wife constantly nags about two things

1. how much money we spend on beer/beer ingredients (i prolly average (1) 30 pack, (1) 5 gallon batch & (1) $10ish six pack per month.

2. how many beers im drinking when its just the two of us at home

because of those two thing i usually try to take 2-3 nights a week and drink nothing, these are usually tuesday, wednesday & sometimes sunday. The other nights ill usually have 1-2, once i hit 3 is when the "how many beers are you going to drink?" question comes into play. Weekends sometimes ill have 4-6 over the course of a day, if i do that on a saturday ill generally take sunday off from drinking. I find that my urge to not have to deal with nagging far outweighs any cravings for alcohol, so im pretty happy with my consumption levels. at this point in my life id say they are in the healthy range, hopefully making up for all the damage i did in my 20's.

the only time it gets unhealthy is if we have people over, go to bbq's, parties, etc. depending on who they are with sometimes ive been known to consume more in the 10-14 range.
 
I also keep a calender. Average less than 2/day over a month. Usually closer to 1.5 a day on average.

I usually take 2-3 days a week off with none, then I will have 2 if a weeknight, and sometimes more on the weekend days.
 
You're like my twin ;)

This will determine that... can you do anything without making an excel about it?

I have excel sheets for our budget, my brew pipeline, my commercial beer ratings, our monthly expenses, each of our bikes, our cars maintenance and expense records... etc... and these don't just log things. They auto calculate and other cool nerdy crap.

It's a sickness.

I even use excel to make decision trees when I have business decisions that need to be made. :eek:

The calender is nothing but the tip of the ice burg.
 
I try not to drink during the week even though I would love to have at least one of my home brews a night. I will drink almost every night of the weekend though. Usually no more than 3.
 
Probably an average of 7 per week, not every night, sometimes two in a night, sometime just one. Usually never more than two.
 
It's so variable for me. One major determinant is if I have a beer on tap or not. My pipeline is usually pretty solid but there are those 2-3 week spans where I'm without. I rarely buy commercial these days unless we're out and about at an establishment, so no homebrew often means no drinking for days/weeks on end. When the brew's on tap, I probably average 2 pints a day.
 
Sounds like I'm about at the norm. I'll average 1 a night during the week, meaning some nights none, some 1, some 2. Weekend I'll have 2-5 depending what I'm doing.
 
~1-2 an evening. Sometimes 3-4 and sometimes none. It's definitely calmed down from when I first started kegging. It was 5-7 / night back then. This was also pre children :D
 
One 12 ounce bottle per night with supper. Weekends are unlimited within reason and then it still depends on what I am doing. I'd say 3 to 4 per day on the weekends. Also going to start trying to incorporate at least one day a week with no alcohol.
 
Monday through Thursday it's usually none to 1 depending on what I'm eating and what beer is on hand. If it's a good food combo I usually have something light like an ordinary bitter, cream ale, pale ale, etc. Friday-Sunday all bets are off depending what's going on and in the summer there is almost always something. Still I try to keep it in check although I love me some homebrew.

The limiting factor is waistline. I try to balance beer intake with exercise - although not at the same time;)
 
ok so im the drunk here. 6-7 12ozs daily on weekend whith company no problams killin 12-18 solo style.

I like to joke about it and say i am practicing for when i move to germany. I must be doing something right cause when we visited there last year i had no problems keeping up with the resident "pro"
 
I'm in the one to four a day category if theres beer on hand and have a day or two where there's no drinking. On the weekends it really depends on what I'm doing. If were BBQing with friends and family than who know's... I work on satrtdays and sometimes Sunday's though so not really as much as it sounds... Ha..ha..:drunk:

Haven't had a beer in a week though and won't for another week and a half as I'm waiting for my dang beer to be done!
 
Depends on whether I'm pleased with my current stock of homebrew. A couple a months back I had a couple of green-apple bombs that I screwed up. Consumption was maybe 1-2 a night. Currently I have an IPA and northern brown that I'm pretty pleased with, so it's more like 3-4 a night.
 
During the school year, I generally don't drink Sun-Thu nights as my wife & I get up stupid early to work out before work. Then Fri & Sat it's pretty much wide open. In the summer, though, it's 1-3+ on any given day, with the + sometimes a very wide margin!
 
1 10 oz glass for most nights, sometimes none. But then again, most of the stuff I brew is north of 8%...I mean 9%...no, probably 10%. Living in the Northwest, I like my warmers.
 
I drink typically 1-5 beer total for the week (MON-THursday). Friday is typically my night to partake lol. Like last friday I had like 5 24oz mugs of Negra Modelo at the Mexican Resturant lol

But, i've had nothing since then, except for 2 fingers of Crown with a cigar on Monday night.

i'm all over the place with my drinking lol....Starting Friday though, it's on till Aug 15th.....VACATION BAAAAAYYYYYBEEEE!!!!
 
2 or 3 pints per weekday, 6-12 on Friday with the neighbors, very little on Saturday and then again 5 or 6 on Sunday to brace myself for another week at work. Depending on the neighbor's schedule we may do our binge drinking Saturday. If it is my weekend on call Then I probably wont drink more than 4 beers all weekend.
 
I very rarely ever drink a beer by itself, always with good food. That for me means it has to be black and full-bodied. I use to have an Anchor Steam Porter but ever since I brewed Denny's Bourbon Vanilla Porter its my favorite....now thats a brew you can almost chew. Maybe 4/week never more than 1 at a sitting.
 
I either have a beer or water with dinner, but if friends are around then maybe 2-3 beers.

I guess in a typical week I'll drink beer four times and have 5-6 total.
 
I blame the 90% German in me, i can kill a 6 pack everynight and have for a while now....trying to cut off at 3-4 a night but damn i love me some beer..

I lived in Germany for 10 years and after all my "conditioning" with the locals, no one could keep up with me stateside :mug:

To answer the OP's question.....my Irish heritage tells me to drink every bottle in the damn fridge, but normally limit myself to either none or 1 a night during the week. Weekends I'll put back 7 or 8.
