Before this thread commences, I'd like it to be known, no, I do not drink every day, yes I can "not drink" as in I can go weeks without having a single beer, and no, it does not affect my life in a manner that some could consider a "problem".
Ok, now that that's out of the way, I wish I could have just One beer in a sitting. What I mean is, when I do drink, usually on the weekends or multiple days off in a row, I "can't" have just one beer. I seriously don't know how folks can, but I'm honestly envious.
Now don't get me wrong, if I go out to dinner with SWMBO, yes, of course I can have one beer and that be the end of it. But if I'm relaxing at home grilling, playing darts, at the river, around a bonfire, or just hanging out, one turns into three, three turns into six, and six very often will turn into twelve (beer dependent obviously).
That's about the extent of my "problem" if you will. I often wonder how people can have "a" beer and be done, especially when they don't have to be. I would say it's a level of immaturity on my part, but I rarely drink enough to get schmammered. I do feel it obviously, but I truly just thoroughly enjoy the taste of beer. Especially good beer.
How many do you all have on a regular basis? Are you a "beer a night and good" kind of person or are you a "three brews before bed" person?
Again, and I want to reiterate, I don't drink all the time, and there's plenty of times where I'll have three beers in an evening and it's all I need, but a lot of times when I know I don't have to work the next day boy that fourth is just too tantalizing etc, etc.
Anyways, it makes keeping a solid pipeline fully stocked when in an evening it's nothing for me to go through a six pack. I've contemplated continuing to brew beer but take a hiatus from the actual drinking part for a few months to even possibly, dare I say it :-/, a year. But just to A, lose the beer gut I've developed from copious amounts of delicious homebrew readily at my fingertips, to B, maybe get a better appreciation of my beer so I can be satisfied with one or two in a sitting (aka lower my alcohol tolerance ).
Am I the only one who finds it so easy to binge drink or better yet, how exactly do you limit yourself to one or two in a sitting and be satisfied?
*Should have labeled this "Do you have just one" but don't see the option to change the actual post header from my phone.
