How much beer do you drink per day/week?

[Jasper18]

On the subject of health I would like to say that my only crime is being overweight ( I'm 6'1" and 280) and at 25 I have high blood pressure. I don't get to have beer that much. I honestly wish I could brew, and give most of it away and keep some for myself. I really get a kick about giving stuff to other people. Now no funny men on here saying send it to me I'll take it lol. It won't be very good since I'm new and I don't wanna ship. If you're close stop by.

Usually 1-4 a day, depending on my mood, what's on tap, how much I have on hand, and so on. If I had a busy day, it's hot, and I have a good supply of lighter lawnmower beers, I'll have several. If all I have is a few bigger beers and I'll only have one or two.

Id say 1 M-T, and 2-3 F-S, so maybe 10 per week?

I think perspective is in order here! I could down 2-4 16oz glasses of a 4.5% pale ale. However a 12oz. double IPA or imperial stout at 9-12% and usually one is enough. Granted I may indulge a bit more in the company of friends, but I usually keep it in check.

Too much I'm sure. Atleast 4-6 a day during the week, rarely under 6% and up to 10 or 12 on a nice weekend day.

Usually a glass or two on a weekday, sometimes 2-3 on a weekend day.

But often my glasses are half pours because I'm working around the house or having to go somewhere or it's later in the evening. Plus I like a fresh pour better than warm, flat beer.

I think my mom was scared of being an alcoholic so I was raised with the advice to:

- Never drink alone
- Never drink when you're depressed

.

I live alone so most of my drinking is when I am alone.
If I am depressed and I drink, I forget that I was depressed. actually depression is very rare for me.

My drinking varies - sometimes I don't drink at all for a week of so, other times I drink 4-6 twelve ounce bottles a night for a couple of weeks.

It gets tough to keep track when I am drinking from the keg....

As long as I don't get the beer gut and don't get severely hung over - don't start thinking that I "need" a beer. I am not too worried about health concerns. People who drink a lot more than I do lead long healthy lives.

I drink a couple of drinks a day, whether beer or otherwise. My limit is two on school nights, though.

I try to keep my drinking in balance with not having to buy new pants.

I lost my twin brother and older sister to alcoholism. Both of them made it their life's work to be wasted all the time from an early age. (quantity not quality) I have always believed in moderation, and try to limit my consumption to 1 or 2 5oz tasting glasses a day and 3 or 4 12oz pints on weekends. If I ever get to the point that I HAVE to have one, I will just stop. I hope.
Odd note:
I did not even like beer until I started to make my own. The first brew I made was 1 month before my brothers passing.
