How often do you drink?

[viper37]

Self-explanatory poll.  I'm about once or twice a month, frequently to real drunkenness because my tolerance is so low. 

haven't touched a drink in nearly two weeks.  I think I'm far away from "World consolidation into a few Mega States?" for now, at least.

[Syt]

Huh.  I find this very strange.  I can drink quite a bit, say around 4 hard-hitting cocktails, and wake up feeling, if anything, refreshed.

It depends on quantity, speed, accompanying food etc. Though I have to say even feeling tipsy is more of a nuisance these days. I like to spend my sparse free time clear headed. If I were allowed to drink at work, though ...

[Josquius]

Yeah, so many other factors. Some nights I've drunk liters of vodka and felt fine the next morning, other nights I had two beers and felt like hell.

[The Brain]

I'm super tired.

And super emotional?

[Maladict]

Not since 2002.

[Queequeg]

I'm super tired.

And super emotional?

I'm off my sleeping pills and working out two hours every day.

I have over 10 different beer brands totaling about 25 beers in my house.
I will drink maybe 3-4 a month.  No where near drunkeness as that would mean consumption of upwards of 15 beers or shots to get me plastered.

I've cut down a lot over the past year, so I only drink about once a week now, usual dose is 3 pints of beer. Every now and then I forget how old I am and overdo it.

I'm in agreement with Syt's comments, nowadays the cost-benefit analysis for drinking is getting increasingly unfavourable for me. The drink often seems to have no effect, then if I keep on drinking tips over into drunkenness too easily..............the middle ground of finding things more entertaining and fun is being squeezed. I've even skipped the Saturday night drinks a couple of times lately, there seems to be a feedback loop in operation which leads to cutting down even more.

I've always said the upside of being a social drinker is my anti-social behavior.

[Grinning_Colossus]

About once a week, though I haven't gotten drunk since I took the LSAT in December.

[The Brain]

About once a week, though I haven't gotten drunk since I took the LSAT in December.

How did that work out for you?

[MadImmortalMan]

TBH I actually don't like that definition though.  I think "incoherence" is probably the best distinguisher from drunk to non-drunk.

I met incoherence once. I didn't like him. He hasn't been back since.

[celedhring]

Between 2-4 times a week. Friday or Saturday I usually end up properly drunk, but not always.

My problem is that due to size and habituation, getting drunk is expensive.

[PJL]

Yeah, so many other factors. Some nights I've drunk liters of vodka and felt fine the next morning, other nights I had two beers and felt like hell.

It's the dark stuff in beer (tannins?) that gives you the hangover. That why.

[PJL]

That depends.  I brownout; I drink, have fun, then misjudge the amount of alcohol I need to consume to continue the present state of drunkenness, and then become tired and have to go home or find a place to nap/sleep. 

Pretty much the same for me too.
