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

    Thought it would be worth seeing if we are all binge drinking binge drinkers, or more the half-a-shandy-at-christmas types.

    So, in an average week, how much do you drink?

    2-3 pints or so

    Really cut down on drinking recently, got the 2 for £10 crate offer at asda a while ago on blackthorn....not even half way through one yet.

    Rarely have a big night out as with the exception of the odd weekend im normally driving next day, or working late.

    Couple of pints of beer usually. Not much of a binge drinker, especially as I often seem to be driving home.

    Varies.

    It can be weeks (perhaps even a couple of months) between drinks or a couple of big nights out in a week.

    Not a massive drinker though, I don't miss it when I'm away and can't drink.

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

    Im not a binge drinker at all...

    I spent alot of time and money getting my car so i like to drive everywhere and drink softdrinks when im out...

    occassionally i'll go pub with my boss after work and have a pint, but not often...

    then once in a blue moon (about 6 months apart) I go all out and drink til i drop... although going on tour with 2 rock bands next month might see me pushing new boundaries...

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

    29th of May will be 2 years since my last drop of alcohol. I don't miss it at all and I have no desire to go back to it. I used to spend £20-30 a week on beer at home, about £15 more if I went out for a drink. In the first two months after giving up I lost about a stone and a half. I don't see the joy in it any more. Some people do, but that's their choice.

    So far this week I've had 0 drinks.

    In an couple of hours I'll have had a couple of pints of stout, all being well. I've sure earned it.

    Uh got pretty drunk last night - it was my sisters flat warming.
    I don't do much 'casual drinking' unless its maybe a glass of wine with dinner with the gf
    Other than that I go out once, twice max a week, and can drink around maybe 6-10 pints depending what I'm doing... I'm quite happy to not drink a drop for weeks at a time.
    Alcoholism runs in the family so I keep a very close eye on my appetite for it.
