How often do you drink?

[Queequeg]

Ah.  By drunk I meant coming close to passing out or passing out, not necessarily getting sick.  I get loud, obnoxiously drunk pretty quickly but have only vomited due to alcohol consumption once or twice in my life.

Ah.  By drunk I meant coming close to passing out or passing out,

Ok, by that definition I have never been drunk.

Btw, why would someone do that to themselves?

[Queequeg]

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.  That said, this is obviously not something I do that frequently after college. 

[Queequeg]

Again; I'm weird with alcohol.  I get drunk very easily, but it takes a lot in order to make me feel truly sick, and very rarely get hangovers. 

[Queequeg]

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

[garbon]

I think "incoherence" is probably best distinguishes from drunk to non-drunk. 

[Queequeg]

I'm super tired.

[sbr]

Too much and more often that I should.

[Queequeg]

This is probably the best spread on any poll I've ever seen on this board.

[Caliga]

I would guess about 3 times a week on average, and I haven't been drunk in probably a decade or so.

[Jacob]

It really varies. My parents are staying with us right now, and we often have a beer or glass of wine with dinner. Probably 5 or 6 times a week. Other times, it's more like once a month that i have a drink.

As for getting an actual buzz on, maybe twice a year. Sloppy drunk? Not for years and years.

... not sure how to vote, but those are the facts.

[Syt]

Maybe a beer or a glass of whisky per week. But it's been a loooong while since I've been drunk. The recovery time afterwards is just not worth it.

[Queequeg]

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. 

[dps]

Very infrequently.  I generally get us a bottle of wine at Christmas, and another for New Year's and maybe 2-4 6-packs of beer the rest of the year.

I don't think I've actually been drunk since 1988.

[Habbaku]

Once or twice a month, at most.  Usually to fun-level of inebriation, but no further.  I think I have a pretty good sense of when to cut myself off and I simply don't drink anything other than water or soda once I've hit a good buzz.

I occasionally have a cider with lunch when at home, if that counts too. 

Spellus, I'm like you.  I have never had any of the usual side-effects I hear from people (blackouts, bad hangovers, etc.).  Probably because I don't drink enough?
