Somewhere down the line.
How much does everybody on here drink? Just out of interest. Don't consider myself a heavy drinker as such, just wondering what other people are like.

I don't really drink... probably have a bottle of wine once a month... if that. Even then i probably drink about half the bottle and leave the rest.. wasteful i know. Can't stand beer and alchopops are just too sweet and sickly.

I rarely drink , and to be honest im nervous around drunk people. I used to get drunk when i went to house parties, when i was 15, 16, 17...but it really wasnt that fun and it turns out i dont really like emptying my stomach before i can get to sleep.
I'll have a beer every noe and then with my mates or my dad, but only ever one drink
Matt
I have cut down my drinking big time these days I only drink when I am out which is usually on a Monday night then I only have a couple or glasses of wine
i drink beer. golden amber nectered beer.
about 6 pints a week is all tho.
Well I work 4 on 4 off night shifts, so obviuosly cant drink then, but on me days off I average a 4 pack a day, so about 12 pints in every 8 day period.
i went to the cricket the other saturday. we started drinking at 12 noon, and finished at about 12 midnight. we reckon we were drinking a pint every half an hour, take off about 1 hour when we went for an indian.
by my mathematics i reckon it was 22 pints. take off about 3 or 4 due to slowing down near the end of the night. prolly looking at a 18 or 19 pint day.
Too much.
Often go through 4 or 5 cans a night (if I can afford it!) during the week and more at weekends.
Not to mention wine, scotch, cognac, or anything else I have in the cupboard.
I know, I know. I need to cut down.

another in the too much category.
I used to be about 6 pints a night during the week and about 10 at the weekend. Now only tend to go out Monday, Thursday, Friday,Saturday. so I guess I have cut down by about 22 pint/week.
My quack dare not say anything. As he is usually in the pub before me.

Woo Keithd, snap! I was at the cricket on Wednesday, started drinking at 10:30 and didn't stop til 2:30 in the morning in a club with a curry in between. My best guess was a more sedate 12 pints however.
I am cutting back nowadays, as my hangovers are getting worse. Still drink -3-4 pints on 2-3 days a week, with the odd blowout.
I don't drink and neither does Pete. Not because we have anything against alcohol, it just doesn't agree with either of us.:D

You see that's the thing. I have bouts of having four cans a night after work just out of habit. I have had the other half take the p**s saying I have a problem!

Mr Warthog! You are the chap who enjoys his metal aren't you? Beer and metal go hand in hand I was told!

I drink more when am at uni but even then it's not a right lot - the pennies only stretch too far! Don't get much opportunity to when am at home really, probably for the best :-?

How can the scrotes that hang around drunks corner(every town has a drunks corner)can afford to get ratted every day all day when those of us who work for a living treat it as a luxury?

I have cut back on my drinking a lot, drink a lot less than I used to.
I find with work I can't drink it stops me from drinking really, I love riding my bikes so again don't drink around bikes at all. You may see have a few beers over the AR w/end, but it won't be much I love riding you see.
I enjoy a few beers on days off chilling or when I'm out. The last time I got drunk (well not very) was a mates leaving party at work.
Though I have been know to drink a bottle of wine or drink lots of vodka or JD in a night, but again thats with mates.
I can for sure say drinking less has allowed to lose a lot of weight, which I feel great for and feel better not being so heavy, being around 10 stone or less is awesome, I just need to build on that know with training!

i only go ou to the pub once every 2 months or so and when i do i spend about 40 quid
Cut down quite about since passing my bike test. Like having a clear head for the Saturday and Sundays so I can get out if it's nice. Work Mon - Fri 9-5 so can't drink to much on a weeknight. Though pub quiz on a Monday can sometimes get abit lairy ;)

I drink very little these days, I find it interferes with my crack habit too much.
most recently I have taken to about a few glasses of wine a week - i don't tend to aim to get drunk but the occasional Friday night tiddlyness isn't unheard of?!!

My former dentist recruited me to his practice in the pub over a pint. I used to then go in the night before an appointment to make sure he wasn't there

Strickly a binge drinker here, will have a couple if I go out for a meal and when I go on a night out (quite rarely) I get sloshed (10-20 depending on company and purpose!).

Bit of a bore me, I just have the occasional pint to be social. Christmas I do have more during the day because it is virtually on tap so dont count how many - I gulp my drinks, even tea or coffee but the worst thing is that I am not a happy drunk, even if I am on top of the world, I will definitely be moody and unaware that I was being filmed as watched it back when sober I did not like what I saw. For the last 5 years or so though, I have only toasted the new year in with a gulp of some rubbish and more or less become a taxi - dont mind really as it leaves me with a good feeling knowing that my family are safe and able to get home without being ripped off. Teetotal? probably.

It's because they go out with their pocket money and buy a bottle of white ace (a cheaper nastier alternative to white lightening) then buy a bottle of lambrinici (or something like that, which is a cheaperer nastierer alternative to lambrini) for the total sum of about a fiver! They are then left with about 4 or 5 litres of alcohol at about 7% vol. Bleugh!
As for me, I don't drink very much. I used to binge drink a lot but I've calmed down now. I probably have less than a pint a week now.

lmao.start on mon and finish on sun =once
im a good boy i dont drink or smoke i have only one sin lol:rolleyes:
and what is that? Fess up to the org;)
I used to get through a bottle of wine a night - but no longer. Cut back and went on the wagon for a month, and occasionally don't drink for weeks. Can't say I miss it, it was habit not pleasure and I didn't want to go there.
dont really drink much at all. I think the last time I had a drink was back feb at a works thingy. I dont have alcohol in the house as I have never been a drinker of alcohol for alcohols sake, if that makes sense.
Now Tea, now your talking!

its all paid for and sitting right here now. any thing u want. and never touched.
but I tend to have a bit each night. like a glass of wine. why sit and drink at "work" when u can see ur mates at the pub.
But it is a "heavy" drink group to say the least.
in the real world it would cost a huge amount. So when at home Im a very lite drinker each night...

Haven't done any drinking to speak of in years.
Got tired of spending more time recovering than enjoying.
When I was at uni I used to drink quite a bit (8 or 10 pints) on about 4 nights per week in the first year, then gradually tailed off.
Now I will have a couple of nice beers (real ales / belgian beers) about three nights a week, with the occasional blowout with my mates where I get silly and drink anything put in front of me.
Hangovers these days are terrible though, so I will only properly drink when I know I've got nothing to do the next day.

But you're not far off double my age (:smt110). How bad is that for me? :(
We rarely go out for meals etc, but when we do, I'll have a pint. But that's about it.

:cat:
its usually shared though isnt it... we will have a bottle between us and more recently we have cut down, at my worst I was on 3 bottles of red a week....which made the recycling trip a lot embarrasing.
If I go out i the evening or have a mate over for a drink I will demolish a 4 pack of 1664 which is rougly 3.5 pints.. then fall asleep.
I have only once got so blotto I have been poorly... but been blotto manya time.. Im lucky I just fall asleep and become lethargic. :smt015
when i was in the wrns I drank til I fell over every night. Then I stopped and had kids. Started drinking again only to find that after 3 pints I was tipsy and silly (or sillier)
teetotal at the moment

Never drunk until recently, but now I've discovered live music it goes down well with many pints and a taxi home.

Me n the missus used to drink a bottle of wine every night, and I finished with a couple of Vodkas...
She said if I cut out 3 nights I could buy the SV Curvy...
No contest eh?
BTW my Quack said, if I go on a bender... it takes the liver THREE MONTHS to recover!!!
