How Much Ethanol Do You Tip Down Your Gob In An Average Week?

[Lucio]

well.. about 30 units last night, and about 40 in an average week :\

Think your estimates are a little off OR you drunk those units over a 12 hour period! 30 units = 1 bottle of spirits or about 10-15 pints.

It's not entirely unheard of to drink that much in one night tbh.

None here..last time was Xmas..drink i mean

[idimmu]

a couple of times a week i'll go buy a 4pack and drink that, then at weekends maybe a little more. i tend to drink often, but not in large quantities.

theres a little blood in my alcohol stream, just enough to keep my heart beating

[mediaboy]

None. Don't like the taste of anything I've tried so far

I drink quite rarely these days, might have the occasional drink with a meal.

I did drink quite a bit at uni and have been through all the vomit, memory loss, drunken injurys (thankfully no fights...) that seems to come with heavy drinking, and felt I'd rather not make a habit of it. I've found it more pleasant to get drunk as a side affect of getting carried away while in good company rather than going out(or staying in) specifically to get drunk.

Also beer seems to taste much better when its been a long while since I've had one.

sometimes one drink a week.
I go on drinking weekends with friends sometimes but genrally dont drink.
plus have a few drinks when at gigs.
sprits mostly.

Been teetotal going on seven years this year, ever since my little lad was born - and that goes for smoking and indulging in illegal substances as well

Used to go through 5 to 7 bottles of wine a week, and two big blow out nights Friday and Saturday where I'd regularly spend £75+ a night on Vodka Redbulls, up in Leeds. So probably a good thing I stopped when I did

Used to have about 4 pints per night until I moved, now it seems I don't even drink the cans that are in the fridge/in crates under the stairs which is most unlike me!

Although I did go out and play pub golf last night and got very very drunk and today have had 3 glasses of Champagne and am now on my second glass of white wine, hair of the dog and all that

About 12-15 pints a week and a bottle of Sambuca. Im Irish and student. This is really quite mellow :/ Would be more but money is short

Just had a doner kebab so I must have had a few Mayday went mental recouperating since to be honest.

BrOw

I have the odd pint or two when eating out but that's about it really.

Any more and I'll have to book a bed at the local hospital for a few days until the internal bleeding stopped, and my blood pressure was back to normal.

Had my first beer for several months at the weekend. Just the one bottle. Not been tipsy for about 18 months and even that was the first time in a couple of years (and I didn't drink that much because my abstinence had made me a lightweight )

I'd never really been a big drinker anyway, but I kinda got a short, sharp shock about 5 or 6 years ago on a work's xmas do where I was alternating between beer and vodka&coke, obviously forgetting my limits. Ended up being picked up off a toilet floor covered in my own sick, thrown in a taxi, where I was sick, and was apparently sick on a door inside my house then went to bed. This was at about 8PM! When my wife got home with our young son (about 3-4 then), after I'd gone to bed, she was greeted with the sight of a fresh pile of vomit on the carpet and door frame, explaining to our son that "oh dear, daddy's feeling poorly". Some might think that's funny, and yes, the "daddy's feeling poorly" does bring a bit of a wry smile on my face, but it's one of the few moments where I've felt absolute pure shame at my behaviour and the inconvenience I caused :-/ Never been anywhere even half near that drunk since, and only ever have the occasional drink a couple of times a year because sometimes I just feel like one.

I do think it's a bit unfortunate though, when people reckon they have to get wrecked to 'enjoy' themselves, but the thing that makes me really, unfathomably angry is when people go off on a bender, wake up the morning after a few hours sleep and then get in their car and drive without a second thought, as if a short session of shuteye magically flushed all the alcohol out of their system.

These days very little tbh, probably less than 25 ml of Remy XO, JW blue or one of my favourite Speyside single malts in a week! The reason is that it is shockingly hot here in Colombo, a terrible heatwave.

I do frequently order Cafe Royale's when I go to my usual hotels in town but sadly they do not stock anything above Remy VS (sometimes VSOP). I might make it a habit to decanter some XO into my hip flask for the occasion...

Hopefully, once it cools down, I'll be able to indulge a little bit more
