How much beer do I drink?

I only have one.......................at a time. :D

:drinks:
I have been known to pour myself a beer, lose it, pour a new one and then find the first. So I guess I can't honestly say one at a time as neither go to waste.
 
I use a 1 litre jug so that I can keep track of the quantity that I am having - 1 jug during the week, then 2 during the weekend. However if a friend happens to be there wanting a beer that may change!
 
Much more than I or anyone should...
 
usually 1 pint every other night during winter and maybe 1or 2 middies every night during summer
Winter is usually dark/heavy beers, summer is milds/mid strengths
 
Lucky to be 4 or 5 pints over the course of a weekend lately. Just cant get into the grove. Bring on summer.
Plus my heroin habit tends to be a bit of a distraction.
 
I usually drink most of my weekly intake on a Friday/Saturday which might mean around 4 - 5 pints per night (lately it's been less). I also generally have one beer on a Thursday (just in case Friday never arrives) and probably every couple if weeks, one or two on a Sunday afternoon. I say moderate, but my Dr says "moderately heavy" consumption.
 
Many many years ago I didn't have a drink for a week. Feeling unwell I went to the doc who informed I was dehydrated. Haven't been dehydrated since!
 
Trying not to drink mon-wed but proving difficult. Generally 1 or 2 schooners of a week night and then a dozen saturday night. If I'm brewing on a Sunday I'll have a couple more depending on if I went past a dozen.

Nothing like I used to when I was single, almost every night was a dozen

I feel ur pain, brother. The compulsive masturbation gets in the way of holding a drink steady here. Drug habit/love habit. Been mentioned elsewhere.

It's still better than the other sex addiction I used to cultivate, except when they had a flat head to rest the beer on.
Is anyone really reading this?

You mean like, right this second?

Well..um...no. Of course not..
 
Two or three AFD's per week depending on where I work and stay. the other 4 or 5 nights I'll have about 2L and on weekends if I dont have to drive, it'll be 3L.
Bit too much I guess. I enjoy it though and dont have a problem NOT having a drink.
 
I only drink a reasonable quantity of beer on days ending in ay the other ones don't count in my opinion
 
I normally taper down on Monday and have only 1 or 2 beers, then have a couple of AFD's then get back into it.

Thursday to Sunday is normally around 6 stubbies worth.

I don't think this is excessive. You will go to a lot of funerals caused by a lot of things before you go to someone's funeral caused by beer consumption.
 
I will most likely drink 2 -3 pots a night only because I have 3 kegs and no else to share it with .
 
Around 3 a day normally, some days I won't drink other days I will have 7 or 8 though. Averaged over a week maybe 4 or 5 sixpacks.... certainly a lot more than the pre brewing days.

Feel your pain..

Cocain is so bloody expensive now...
 
I have been drinking more since I started brewing and when the beer got good it certainly increased some what. Truth is before I brewed I couldn't have given a rats ass about beer, now I am in heaven...hop heaven that is :icon_drool2:

The usual week will be a couple of schooners a night or even just a couple of 250ml glasses, nights like tonight when the bride is out I have been through about 5. the weekends are decent with at least 4-5 on friday, sat and sunday...when it warms up that will be sure to increase....good reason to have some session IPA's on tap.

Now that i think about it...i make 20lts every fortnight = 520lts of beer = 10Lts per week which averages 1.42Lts per day

approx 3.5 schooners per day.....oh dear I love beer!

I wouldn't go that far but before I started brewing I definitely drank more wine than beer. Beer was my poker night and pub drink; wine was what I drank at home or out for dinner - heavy reds and dry whites.

But now I could count the glasses of wine I have drunk since I started brewing on my fingers!
 
I drink enough not to care and just enough not to remember something about the thing with the thing
 
My girlfriend thinks I didn't too much, but after reading most of this, I'm not even close to being up to par. I have a few AFD per week and then when I do drink, I reckon I drink 1 stubby with maybe three on Saturday and one on Sunday.

I also seem to drink less now I brew my own mostly because supply doesn't keep up with demand, but also because I savour my own more than the mega swill.
 
6-7 bitterly chilled beverages of a mildly intoxicating nature on a Frid & Sat night when I don't have to get up early the next day..
 
Nothing for two weeks when I'm on site. Then as much as I damn well feel like when I'm home for a week. Ranges from nothing to half a keg (or equivalent of commercial) per day.
 
Been pretty slow drinking for a while. I'll drink 3-5 nights a week having 1-3 pints and not usually consuming any more on the weekends.

When I was doing an unpaid internship a year ago and working a 6th day trying to get some sort of income the only thing that I wanted was a few beers at the end of the day. I bought a playstation to slow the weekday drinking. Looking back I was a miserable prick for that 6 months for a few reasons, basically I was working 6 days with almost no income once travel expenses were factored in there. I'm nearly as busy now but I'm much happier and have a healthier and more varied lifestyle
