    In the past six months my craft beer intake has accelerated. I'm typically having a beer a day, not getting drunk, just enjoying one or two a night after work, then I'll have a handful on the weekends. Do most of you craft consumers out there indulge daily?

    Not daily, but most days I'll have a beer in the evening.

    I find myself doing the same, maybe splitting a bomber with the girlfriend if she happens to be over that night and even once in a while having another 12oz serving for myself or something else. Agreed not getting drunk by any means but I drink them because I enjoy the flavor and want to try new things.

    On the weekends I will indulge in a few extra but again usually to the point I am just tired and fall asleep

    Several months ago my intake also started to increase. I usually have at least 1 a day but rarely more than 2 or 3. Ive also noticed I haven't been sick since I started this trend.

    Im good for 3-4 nights a week. Usually less that 4-5 for those nights. Unless I have to watch Teen Mom with my wife, then the intake triples!

    Ideally, yes. I'd like to have 1-2 beers a day. On days where I have nothing going on, this can turn into 3 or 4, especially if I have friends over who enjoy beer (although we often split them at this point). On days where I play sports or eat too much earlier in the day, often I won't have any. On average I probably drink about 10-12 beers a week. I don't really get drunk anymore unless it's one of those 3-4 nights, as I generally consume higher ABV beers (tripels, quads, dubbels, DIPAs). If that is the case, though, I try to at least start off with some sort of pale ale or wheat beer.

    I'm typically 1-2 a day as well with a few more on the weekends. And for the record, I don't get sick either:wink:

    If I'm able to make a trip to the liquor stores around me, I'll usually pick up enough to drink 1-2 a day. Especially if I'm drinking high ABV, I like to limit my intake since my wife doesn't drink and would prefer me to not be all red faced every day, haha.

    I usually have 1 beer every weeknight except 1 and that's a designated beer free night. Then I'll usually have 2 per night on the weekend and sometimes 3. I often want more and it's just like food - I want to eat everything I see but I try to be disciplined to maintain optimal weight and health.

    Yup, every night I have one; rarely two. I just hit 800 reviews and I'm just about at the 2nd year mark (I think next month).

    One a day, but my schedule is such that not every day is a beer day....

    Enjoying the variety.

    I usually will have 4-5 a week. Seems like a good limit for myself. Never more than one a night though.

    Since I have started the craft beer kick, I almost drink 1-2 a night, execpt on the weekends when the consumption is around 4-5 (depends what friends I hang around). Just like lookrider said above, I try to keep it at a minimum in order to maintain a good weight and health (but my other hobbies are wine and cigars...so there that goes). For the past 2 nights, I have decided not to drink, but will remedy that in another hour or so...lol.

    With so many to try and review, I could do it all day but realize it's not a race and just want to enjoy this hobby.

    If I wasn't a poor college student then I'd be trying a new beer every night, but seeing as how that is not the case, I try to at least try two or three new brews per week.
