... do you go through at home?
Just usual consumption, not counting nights of partying or excessing.
I live alone and find I usually use up maybe 1 or 2 bottles of wine and a 750 of Crown Royal every 7-10 days. A shot or two each day after work.
Is that a lot?
 
I live alone. I go through a 6 pack every 8 weeks or so, and a bottle of single malt can last a year. I only open wine if I have company over.

Drinking out with friends is another matter.
 
Alone - none - except to cook with.

Alcohol is one of my motivations to socialize.

Of course I'm saying that on a Friday night but tonight I'm on pain meds that are almost as good.

Lots of alcoholics in my family so I try to be careful.
 
Geez. Am I the only Scotsman around here? I guess that most of the Terb regulars are OUT drinking right now. LOL.

Anyways, when I am not working on CGA course material (including right now), I average about 15 drinks a week at home. It's too damn expensive to go out to drink most of the time. I was in a bar down at the Queens Quay a few weeks ago.... I had 3 Stellas, and I ended up paying $32 for them with a reasonable tip. That's BR and FYEO prices.

However, when I'm working on CGA course material, it takes me about 2 months to go through a 6-pack. Quite the difference.

Cheers *Burp*

It really depends on why you drink it. If you are doing it just to relax, then a couple of drinks a night is no big deal. However, if you are doing it to "dull the pain of living" or "to forget your troubles", that is a potential problem.

I only drink (beer) on weekends, while I am preparing dinner for me and the missus. I get through a doz. Creemore every 2wks.
 
I have some isopropyl alcohol that i use for cleaning lcd monitors.

I haven't drank it yet.
 
Far to much - I can go through 24 beer and 5 or 6 bottles of red wine in a week and that is not counting what my guests bring in.
 
Tally from last night:

16 beers
5 Rum and cokes
2 Screwdrivers
4 and 1/2 tabs of MDMA

(I only got 4 hrs. of sleep)

This morning I feel like my head's been hit by a Mack truck :(
I just took 2 tylenol 3's and an aspirin

Let me guess, you are...22 years old

Was like that at that age but got tried of feeling like crap more often than feeling great. First I cut the booze out in my 20's, then the weed and pills went out in my upper 30's. Now I use just about nothing and feel great 90% of the time.

Getting old stinks, party up well you still can enjoy it.

Nope I'm 42 years old, believe it or not
I look a lot younger though, I got asked for ID at Casino Niagara Falls last week.

But I hear you mate, I cant do the E thing more than once every 3 months, my body cant take
the abuse anymore
 
Dam I am right up with you, be 44 this year.

WTF is wrong with me? I take one 222 pill, the next day I have a headache half the day. If I smoke, my throat gets sore-well thats cause I don't stop :p

I am told I don't look my age but then I have never been ID at any casinos. Then again for a 42 y.o. to look like 18 is darn good, I look mid 30's.

That E stuff I never tried, maybe thats my problem, lol

Depends on your POV: to me, that's a lot....especially if you're doing it ahem alone.

When I drank, rarely would I ever have a beer or two alone. Usually when someone came over or once in a blue moon I'd buy a poverty pack for home. But out? socializing? or taking a gang out on the lake? that's a different story......

That sounds about right, except that I usually only drink on the weekends and sometimes before work (not much).
 
I am good for a few glasses of red wine per week and shoot for 1 per night since they claim it is good for the ticker.

At 43 I have definitely slowed down but feel like a big break out is due soon :)
