How much do you drink?

[MORGAN]

I don't drink much beer except in real hot weather. Since I am in the middle of wine country(my basement) I enjoy a bottle of my own with friends. Now this stuff out of my still is another story. Two or three a day, mostly over ice. Try not to try to type after three. On # two now. See yall ,Morgan

Blanik, I suspect our new PM is not really a drinker, might even be a bit of a workaholic wowser.

Our new PM is what ever you want him to be, apparantly. Dont get started on politics As for the drinking question, I have been in most of the boats outlined in the answers. When I was an apprentice Chef, and subsequently a qualified Chef, it was a standard day to sink a 6pack in split shift then another 6-8 tinnies after work. That was them days. I then went through a 10 year period of abstinence(the result of my passed sins cathing up with me and a serious car accident). I now cannot drink beer- too much yeasty gas in the stomach. When I last went to central QLD I had a rum and coke, which by a system of slow evolution has led to distilling my own rum. Love it; the whole process, fermenting,distilling, cutting, ageing, bottling and DRINKING it. I dont drink much of it, but when I do I give it a good nudge. A bottle of750ml@40%/ week would probably be a generous average.
Really though, if you are not going to drink it, why bother?

Fair enough. I think that is actually one of the rules of the forum. No politics, and no religion.

Exactly.

I grow a stack of vegies i won't eat.
Woudn't mind trying my hand at cheese, but wouldn't eat it on a bet.


It's all about learning skills...

Just discovered a great way to cut back on your drinking ---- put tooooo much tails in your favorite mix.
Works a treat.

The trouble is, tracker, you only realise the day after. At least you know to be a bit more prudent with your cuts next time. It is really a time delay system, eh? I have noticed when I get greedy for quantity, and take my cuts to a lower ABV, that the result is a big headache.

[Tater]

enough

Just right!

I love to distill because I just like doing things from scratch. That and it's in the genes.

I'm not a big drinker though. I usually have 2 or 3 drinks and 2 or 3 pints of homebrew a week. Got plenty of wine too but that's usually for dinner with friends, my wife doesn't drink wine and I don't like a full bottle by myself.

[Usge]

I drink till its faare and partly cloudy. Then I take on some ballast. That sets me akeel for a while but, also gives me sumthin' to heave ovaher to right
meself should a sturm cumon.

ARRRrrrrrrr.

[BrianC]

I either drink beer, or spirits.
not both.
So,
if its a beer week.....
on average 8 cans a day ( over 8 hours )
if its a spirits week.....
1L of my own RUM

Should probably stick to my rum, but, as Homer says......
"mmmmm Beer"

[RoundEye]

Shit, I feel like a drunk now. I drink every day after work. I never really get drunk but just get a decent glow that helps me get some sleep. I got multiple sclerosis so it helps with the pain. The doctors used to give me handfulls of valium and baclophen. I stopped that so i wouldn't become a junkie.
I just toss in a few ice cubes then fill it up with something nice. Usually a Makers Mark or a Johnny Walker. I can roll through a 1/2 gallon of 100proof vodka in about 9 days time and never have gotten drunk. Maybe it's because I'm a big guy so it doesn't hit me very hard.

After the past weekend I have sworn off drinking for the next 30,000 hours!!

My wife was not happy on the third day she picked me up. Nor was I for the next two days.

It gets worse. I discovered today at the RSL that we went out looking at christmas lights in town. I wonder if I had fun.

Someone has to do it, Thankyou!

[bushido]

I drinks a bit. Not much for beer though. Hard to say how much exactly, as I seem to usually have help, but 4 to 5 litres a week of high test usually goes across the bar. I would venture that about 1.5 litres of that I am personally responsible for. Haven't gotten fall down drunk in ages though, just recreational drinking. Never worked today, had maybe 12-15 shots.
Like someone above stated, "I don't make it to look at it"

[BrooklynTech]

Started brewing and distilling about a year ago. Before that I didn't drink a lot of anything. Afew bottles over a 3 hour period at a bar on the weekend.

Now I have at least 1 beer (home brew or S.N.) a day around 3 p.m. and one show of my brandy, and a glass of wine just before bed. Just learned about Irish Cream and me and the wife have been downing a liter about a week and a half. Been alternating the wine and irish cream daily.

I'm 70 and I g uess my liver is in pretty good shape.

[Bonjimmi]

I drink to make other people more interesting.....
Some days I don't drink at all... Some days it's 8 to 10 shots...

[USACelt]

enough to float a battleship.

[Prairiepiss]

I poured 3 fingers tonight. And the last time I had a drink was 2 weeks ago. What does that tell ya?

[fullhouse]

Not near as much as I used to, and prolly still MORE than i should

[Fastill]

2-3 drinks a night after work. If I don't, I won't sleep and that makes for a very bad day at work tomarrow. If I have 4-5 drinks, I won't sleep either, just winds me up. I need to keep my ballance between not enough and too much. Sometimes it is harder than it should be.

That you probably have a lot stored away.

[bentstick]

2 to 3 good drinks a nite, but like they say when you go to the doctor and they ask "how much and what do you in a day/ week" they are taught to double it automatically, so just sayin

[Odin]

No! Mr. P drank everything already, that is why he is so low on consumption! I am right, there, am I not, Mr P?

I mind read mentors. Another one of my hobby's.

BTW, I drink maybe two, three glasses an evening, when the weekend starts. Ah! It is Friday today!

Odin.

[Bayou-Ruler]

I don't drink at all

[Odin]

But I bet your car does!

[Uncle Lozza]

I used to drink every night and had a crap diet and ended up with very high blood pressure so I cut out the meat pies and only had one bottle of brandy every two weeks, very boring! now my BP is normal but it took a year to do it so now I eat sensibly and have one bottle of spirits a week. I long for the old days but still have fun on weekends.

[Bayou-Ruler]

But I bet your car does!

Indeed it doe's Odin!
