Is beer a common drink or a special drink for you?

[jeremy0209]

I'm a raging alcoholic.

 

[Nightbiker]

No, I really don't drink a lot. I'd have to say I give away most of my brew. I rather enjoy watching others enjoy it even more than I enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE beer, I just don't drink a lot. I do use it when I cook -and when I'm smoking meats (like pulled pork or ribs, if its going to take hours in the back yard) I'll pull a pitcher or two and yeah, then I'm pulling them down with my favorite mug -of when friends and family gather, I'll bring a couple of kegs over and enjoy -but otherwise at home, the keg lasts a long time in the kegerator.
My favorites tend to be a honey-brown ale and a porter -they tend to take age pretty well

Good to see that people are happy at your raging alcoholism

j/k

I'm usually 3 a night maybe a couple more on nights off.

 

[Skeptidelphian]

I have a pint most nights, on Saturday night or on special occasions I'll have 3, it's rare I have more than 3 in one evening.

 

[bobmcstuff]

I contain my "serious" drinking (say more than 3 or 4 beers) to Friday and Saturday nights, but I'll fairly often have a single beer one or two nights in the week. I used to have one or two beers pretty much every night in the week but I cut down to help lose weight.

Although if I often end up going out with work during the week and that means I end up drinking more (especially if the company is paying...)

 

[NoIguanaForZ]

Yes.

 

[day_trippr]

Agreed

 

[Beers4Fears]

I tend to not have beer as often as i would like as I am between jobs, but when things are going good I tend to have 3-4 22oz bottles a week.

I usually drink 1-2 beers a day all week, also in the weekends. Some might say that its a bad habbit to drink all week. I don't think so. I never drink to get highly intoxicated, as I don't really like the feeling of getting wasted, and I usually only drink after I am done for the day. Sometimes I wonder if it is more culturally accepted to binge drink anything with alcohol in it going out Friday and Saturday that it is to drink regularly during the week. Shouldn't be so.

 

[slym2none]

A little too common, maybe.

 

[catdaddy66]

It's a common (readily available 24/7) drink that makes me feel (very) special!

Is beer a common drink or a special drink for you?

It's the only drink for me.

 

[C-Rider]

Thanks to my German up bringing it's common. But not to say that my ales are COMMON. I have one a day unless something is going on w/friends and I like to think that my beers are far from COMMON.

 

[violinguy]

I split my drinking about 49% beer 49% wine and the rest liquor. I'm not an everyday drinker, maybe 4-5 days a week. If I take the trip to Total Wine or some other specialty liquor store (there isn't one within 40 minutes of me), and I buy some good stuff, I'll save it for special occasions. Otherwise, I'll drink whatever I feel like on any given night.

 

[Tombsy]

Common... very common. That's why I am brewing a lot of milds and other low abv beers lately. I really enjoy drinking beer, but I don't to be blasted.

 

[BeardedBrews]

1-2 with dinner almost every night. Maybe a couple more on a Saturday if I have friends over. But it's usually one while making dinner, one with dinner, and then water or tea the rest of the night.

Nailed it.

(Although I have thirsty friends and can't stand the idea of not keeping up on the weekends)

 

[Maylar]

I rarely drink beer. Usually only when I'm out with friends. At home I drink my cider or some bourbon. With dinner I drink Merlot.

 

[bobeer]

I've been drinking 2-4 beers every night for a while. Ive recently cut back to 1-2 a night 3 nights a week and then 3 on the weekends. Yea, i like to drink.

 

[Weezy]

I can't drink coffee *all* day! It's bad for my teeth!

 

[brewmore71]

For me, usually 2-3 a couple nights during the week then...... I lose count on the weekend

Same here. I've only been drinking about once a month these last few months. I'd like to have one every evening. I've been spending more time on this site since I miss it so much. Cheers.

 

[DurtyChemist]

You brought back a 3 year old thread just to say "Yes"? Seems odd. I had to start looking at the dates because it felt old just reading it.

 

[Porthos]

I try to keep most of my beer drinking at home to Friday evening and weekends. It's part of the reason I only brew 2.5 gallons. I also like to drink Craft beer and I usually have more beer than I'm able to drink.

Holidays are the exception though and that's when I catch up on my drinking.

 

[jamorgan3777]

I probably drink it more than I should. I have noticed that and plan to cut back some. I will typically have a beer with supper 3-4 nights a week. On the weekends I will have a couple more. On "special occasions" I will have 5-6 in one evening. I rarely have more than that.

That's about my pace also though I have been 'drying out' for a few days lol.

You're good...
