How many beers do you drink a week?

Short of a tasting or festival I average about 10 a week typically spread out over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

 

A few months ago I was drinking about 14 a week but in order to keep up with the the physical demands of my job as I get older I decided to start eating better and being more healthy. I began when I went on vacation the first week of June and after doing some research on what I should be eating I discovered the paleo diet which has changed my life. I work 10-12 hour days 4 days a week and I no longer feel tired at work, and my back isn't killing me at the end of the day any more. Since June 3 I've lost 26 lbs and Im in the best shape I've been in 20 years.

At the moment I'm pretty much down to a beer on Friday and a couple on Saturday. During football season I'll switch to beer on Sunday instead of Friday. Over the next couple of weeks though I'll have a beer on a few extra days to get through the two IPA 6-packs I recently bought while they're still fresh.

 

I plead the 5th! My wife may be reading this thread in secret.

 

I'll say between 4 and 7 per week. Depends on the week, if there is softball (which usually only means 1 more beer on a week night), if we go out to dinner, or if it is the occasional bad movie night with friends where we share multiple bombers / bottles.

 

2-4 pints, which represents a dramatic reduction since last year. Quality over quantity.

 

2 a night usually, maybe a night capper once in a blue moon. Rarely more on weekends, drinking early really screws me up, makes me sleepy and bloated.

 

Interesting thing about this thread is that some people's answers have changed since first answering (and possibly even forgetting that they had responded, as it was started 2 years ago).

My son advised me that if I don't eat bread while drinking, I won't gain as much weight. I've tried it and it's true.

 

2 or 3 a week.....other than

when I get together with family or friends about once every two weeks I will have anywhere from 2 to 6 then.
On vacation (usually after 3 or 4 hours of mountain biking) I will have 2 to 3 a day

 

Seven or so.

 

20 or so. bombers mostly.

 

On average, one beer a week, usually on Friday or Saturday night after a meal. On holidays/birthdays, I'll splurge and go for an extra beer, but not often outside of that. I typically stick to stouts, particularly big stouts, so I see having a single bottle as ideal - won't leave me feeling wrecked in the morning and keeps in line with my fitness goals. I typically run 5 miles a night, 5 nights a week, but most nights by the time I get in from my run, a beer is the last thing I really want to drink to cap off my evening. Kinda works as a double-edge sword haha.

 

30 glasses of beer per week would be average for me.
(3/day M-Th., 6/day F-Su).

 

I am right there with you, brother.

 

I tend to drink a bit more during the summer. Probably been averaging around 20/week over the past couple months. Will drop it back to closer to 12-14 when the weather turns cold.

 

depends on what I am drinking. usually 1 to 6 a day just depends, for 1 I am retired and it just depends if I need to do any work or not....

some days I do not drink at all...

 

5 to 10 cans of swill with a bottle of something nice most days. I almost run, cycle and eat well enough to make up for it. But then there are those nights where a friend shows up from out of town; just the other night my buddy Bob appeared from Seattle and in the morning the two flats of Rainier I had in my garage we gone...

 

Ill normally drink 1 beer when i get home from work every night. I probably drink the most on wednesdays seeing its my day off and i get to spend it with the girlfriend. She likes her ciders so we will have some drinks throughout the day and when we go out to dinner.

Total number 7-14 per week with it rarely hitting over 10

I'm in the 6-12 range now. A month ago I'd say closer to the 6 range.
