I don't know average I'd say. I tend to have a drink a night on average of course out with friends I might have more. I didn't drink for the last two week though because I was on painkillers I had two glasses porribly three I kept refilling the glass when it got low. And it's not ever chance I get and nor is it socially at parties I like the taste of alcohol if I wanted to get drunk every night I could, but I don

I have never been drunk in my life. I do like the taste of wine and rarely will have a small glass of it.

no only on my first glass of wine actually, but I also got 4 hours of sleep last night. The bed up here is too hard so my mom is sending up a mattress pad to see if that helps because I go to bed at 1-3am and wake up about 6-8 if I'm really tired 9. oh and the three never ending glasses of wine was last night actually. I could have sworn I had that in their

I like really girly drinks that are red and pink and green that probably have an accompanying scented cantle. I probably have 2-3 drinks every week because I'm fully stocked. I've been drunk twice in my life and it will never happen again. I prefer being tipsy; just happy enough for the filters to come off.

I drink socially, only alone if I'm ill (since I believe the benevolent spirits of the alcohol will chase away the evil influences), but come to think of it, I partake in a lot of social events that will have me drink something where I could easily choose not to. It's a lifestyle choice. I seldom get drunk, though.

My lifetime alcohol intake has been four cans of Heineken (not all at once) and I don't like the way it makes my head feel. No more booze for me.

I used to be a very heavy drinker- we're talking putting away a fifth a night! :blush: I don't do that anymore though ;)

I usually have a glass of wine with dinner every night and occasionally a drink later, and I'll have up to 3 drinks while at a party or bar, but no more than that! :yes: I limit me

Would you like a subjective or objective asnwer?

Honestly, I was just wanting a factual cross-section of the drinking habits around here. Also, I am inquisitive of why said individuals make the decision to drink.

It's all relative but I probably drink more than most people. For example last week I consumed.
- a 12 pack of Heinekeen 12 oz. cans.
- a small bottle of malibu rum.
- 4 bottles of wine (3 white one red).
- about 15 cans of bud light.

You got it. For drinking habits please see post #15. That is a fair representation of a typical week for me.

Why do I drink? Mostly because I enjoy being inebriated. I don't like to get fall down, blackout drunk. I usually drink just enough to melt away the world.

I agree, however in the last two weeks I have consumed;
48 bottles of Budweiser, 12 bottles of corona, 30 cans of Busch, and 18 bottles of Coors. (I had some help...)

I would say that I drink to circumvent the drudgeries and repetition that my life has become.

Do you feel that it's a problem? I don't really drink too much as I have no interest or time for it. But when I do...I'm a champagne kind of gal.

It is quite a problem, but when the booze gets flowing, well, there are no problems any more.

I think I am right there with ya Metal, and I don't mind it too much.

I drink beer primarily, mostly a 6 pack per weeknight. Weekends it's usually a 12 pack and a bottle of Shiraz. I am sure it is probably too much, but I don't wake up and need a drink, I don't drive while drinking, and at 34, I haven't gotten into trouble by doing it.

I honestly love the taste of beer, no one beer in particular, just the taste in general. Wine is evil, but so wonderfully yummy.
