I knew you were working on a career change, but I didn't realize this is what you had in mind...;)

Actually, if it paid well I'd consider it since it is fun. For now, I'll just keep it to a part-time gig. Can't beat the 30% discount though. I mean I'd be buying the beer anyway, might as well get it cheaper! :mug:
 
Ok, now I need to revise my weekly intake:

This week before today: 6
Today: 8 or more...i'd be more specific but im a little druck
 
I've been doing a beer or two about 3 weeknights a week depending on the kind of week, and the weekends varying based upon where I am and who I am with. Being in college brings with it the occasional hazy weekend, but I don't head out of class every friday with the intention of making no memories until sunday afternoon. After starting brewing a year or so ago, I can't even stand some of kegged beers at parties anymore. I'd say I average maybe 10 or so beers a week. Interestingly enough I drink the most when I am at family gatherings, and not with friends.

I ran into an incident in the state of Montana over the summer. After taking a mandatory class I have all sorts of drinking statistics and such if anyone would like them. Now it is bitching/story time. I had three beers, was underage(20, though now 21), and my friend who was driving got pulled over for not using a blinker***. I had 3 beers all night and they forced me to blow a BAC. I blew barely a level, and of course I got a ticket. I think it was mostly because they thought my Wisconsin ID was fake from all the pastel colors. I asked them why I would give them an underaged license, and they spouted off something stupid, and thus I was out $300, and claimed in court that I gave them a fake ID. Despite the fact that my license was real, they refused to run it to prove it was fake, and testified in court that I gave them a fake ID. Regardless, I now dislike montana and will never go back.

*** - He got pulled over for not using a blinker. The entire time I was there, I never saw anyone ever use a blinker. I bet the looked at me like I was dumb for doing so.
 
I keep a keg of BMC on tap (don't crucify me, im a college kid and most of my friends havent been converted, yet, plus, its pretty cheap), my roommate works at a liquor store (he and his boss have worked together for 4 years at 2 stores - basically get things at COST), we have become friends with all of the beer reps in Boulder, and we brew our own beer.

That being said, I would guess 2-3 beers a night Sun-Wed, and anywhere from 2-8 or so on some combo of Th, Fri, Sat.

I know its quite a bit, but its my senior year of college, it just got nice out, and im about the enter the "real world" where I can't be as wild as I can now...
 
I seem to stay steady around 12 beers a week. Although there are those weeks when its more then double that and other weeks its less.
