    2-3x/week - I usually hit the store near work once, the store near my house once, and make one trip to a third store on the weekend, but not always (depending on how the first two trips worked out :stuck_out_tongue:)

    I used to go evert single day after work. Grab several singles. Every day

    Now i work 9pm-6am so no store is open and the bennies coming to the shore would make me late for work so i go maybe 1-2 times a week before work. It sits in my car all night until im home in the AM. Gets all warm and ends up being not as good.

    Every Monday either while grocery shopping at Wegmans or hopping down to the local Total Wine for something specific.

    Wouldn't "1-2 times a week" cover once a week?

    Right, I was just thrown off. My bad. But shouldn't it still be: 1-2 times a week... then 3+ times a week.. then Every day if we're working in that direction?

    Generally hit when my local shops get their shipments in... bottleBOX Tuesday, Total Wine Wednesday. Kinda sucks because I don't know if I could pick up X for cheaper at Y. But it's worked out so far... I have a tendency to know what bottleBOX will get that TW never will.

    I used to go around once a month, but now it's once every couple of months so I can drink what I already have.

    Generally 1-2 times a month, but I also live withing walking distance of 7 local breweries, so there's a fair amount of draught consumption.

    While I do the rounds of three favorite stores once a week, and visit several others occasionally, I only buy beer maybe 40% of the time, and then it is typically one or two singles or bombers.

    Lots of very good beer stores within a few miles of the house. If I include Wegmans, which I visit at least once a week, I have 3 stops in a typical week.

    Unfortunately my go-to bottle shop is attached to the bar I work at a few nights a week. It's hard to walk out of work without $100 work of beer.

    Once every 5-6 days seems to be about when I run out of my home stock and need to restock. Usually buy a mixed sixer each time and drink1-2 beers a day. Occasionally cellar a big beer, about once a week do a bottle share, maybe once a week get a beer out in public somewhere.

    Every day except Sunday, closed by law. I live so close I let them store beer instead of me filling up valuable refrigerator space.

    I've only been to the beer store once this year. Breweries are a totally different story though...

    Typically, twice per week. However, if there is a cookout or I have a softball/hockey game, I'm going to stop and grab a six pack.

    I probably go twice a week some weeks, and not at all other times.

    So probably once a week on average. Don't always buy either.

    Once a week usually. Though many times I find myself picking up a random bottle or two at the grocery store.. I can't help but wander into their craft beer section. Every. Time.
