I very rarely drink in all honesty.

most my likker is aging, beeing "tested" by everyone else, or is waiting for a spirit run.

when I do drink, I have about 3-5 beers.. unless it's a special occasion (21sts etc..) then it's a bottle or 2 of my good stuff,

I actually haven't had a drink from my own stuff or anything for 2 months now, (apart from making cuts)

go figure, But I have noticed, alot of people in this hobby, don't drink to much, and if they do, they are using turbos, for turn around time...

I'm a bar room beer drinker and usually drink till I feel a little full which is pretty easy to do.Love an ice cold beer after mowing grass. Haven't touched hard stuff in years with the exception of some 'shine now and then.The little bit of UJ I make is usually gifted to friends.

I get drunk very rarely.

I drink more than I should, but I'm also 25. 8)

I've actually started drinking less since I started distilling. I tend to make more fruity stuff for everyone else, I just like a non fruity whiskey.

ATTENTION: There will be an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting sponsored by the town mayor with snacks provided by the Ladies Book Club at the Liar's Bench tonight. All who may think they have a problem are invited to attend. Drunkards and hecklers are encouraged to attend as their intolerance for elegant society are cries for help and need of order in an otherwise chaotic life. One step and one day at a time. If you know someone who may have a problem, you too are invited to attend.
Hope to see you there. 7 pm sharp!

2 of us drank 2 gallons of brew last night sittin around the fire till 1AM. I know because I filled 2 64oz growlers up twice each. About 10 beers each. Started the night with a tall pour of some bourbon. LIttle sluggish today......

Was switchin back and forth between a Czech pilsner style and an IPA. Funny tricks on the tastebuds. The flavors really jump at ya when ya switch like that.

Sounds like bragging on binge drinking there Jimbo. The methanol in the beer is a good thing to help prevent alcoholism! You're safe for now!

I'm not an alcoholic, they go to meetings. I'm a drunk. I go to parties. Haha

No I don't, I have one shot in a glass of coke or dry ginger ale most nights after dinner. Maybe a few more on a Friday or Saturday night.

Jimbo, with friends like you who needs more than 1 friend?

The whole family here drinks socially, but not in bars. My wife is pregnant so that has cut back considerably for me, seeing how that she was my drinking buddy. We don't drink much in the winter as compared to summer months anyways. In the summer I might consume 6-12 units of alcohol on an average day, consisting of micro brewed beer and shine'. The winter average is closer to zero.

when summerrr git heree, MY POSZT b LIK....! hiCCUP...

wut wuz I sayin...??
