After a long 10 hour day of school and work I will sit down and enjoy 1-3 glasses plus a little something to smoke on. If I didn't have a productive day I try to not have any beer, because then I feel like I dont deserve to sit on my ass and drink. I look at having a few beers as an act of celebration, celebrating the small things in life like a long productive day, or just to cap off a good day. Weekends-generally a lot of beer is consumed with friends. Holidays-lots of beer is consumed with family.
