    I don't know... if we're talking cheap shit like PBR or Genny Cream... probably around 60.... but if we're talking high octane like Flying Dogs double pale ale or Leviathans great scott..... then the numbers begin to dwindle a wee bit........

    1 or 2 per night... sometimes 3. I agree with the percieved need to feel embarrassed when discussing with medical professionals...

    Cheers!

    Up until recently probably ~15 per week. Trying to cut weight so I have cut it down to 1-2 on Friday and Saturday. Zero during the week. Numbers in general are deceiving; Does a 750 of Black Tuesday count as one beer just like a Duchess? Luckily my gf is a BA so we tend to split 2 22oz bottles each night. I am quickly learning that you don't need to drink every beer in one night to appreciate the craft. Sadly it isn't making my budget any less as I opt for high end beers to splurge on the weekends. I read on another post last week that a bottle of Chocolate Rain is like 1500 calories, so that was an eye opener.

    Lets not be hasty here, first you have to catch the witch, tie something heavy around its feet, and throw it in the lake. If it floats.........then you burn it. If it doesn't, you notify the poor girls family.

    Haha there is no need to feel embarrassed... I'm sure your doctor has heard it all... Though there's a line between alcohol usage and dependence, typically its recommended to keep it under 14 per week and no more than 4 per day... but the funny thing is those numbers refer to those weak 12 oz 5% abv BMCs... and those numbers get considerably deflated when you do the math and factor in how much you equivalently drank after polishing off a BT. I guess as long as you aren't using a BT for an eye opener you'll be ok haha

    I would say I average between 40 and 50, with weeknights checking in anywhere from 2-5 and weekend nights going 10+.

    8-12 per week. It all depends on the ABV of each, but there are nights that I go through 4.

    I average about 1 a day but I definitely don't drink 1 every day and I frequently drink 2 or 3. Uusually not more than 3. Tonight I didn't plan on cracking any open but since I'm enjoying the Devils getting trampled (pure spite) I'm going to make it a Founders evening.

    If you are keeping track of the exact number you have to much time on your hands!

    If I had to give a whole number I'd estimate it at more than I should, less than I want.

    Probably will back it down a bit in the summer as I usually exercise more and have less of a desire to drink- right now I'd say 10-15.

    Just started going out to a bar to socialize with friends once a week so the number probably jumped from 15ish to 20-25ish.

    Generally one or two a day, 3ish on weekends.

    1-3 per day, sometimes none, hardly more.
    15 or less per week.

    Now if we factor in Old Fashioned's...heh.

    I flinch at the alcohol question on health assessment surveys and such.
