    Whenever I see one of these threads I am amazed at the almost Tibetan monk levels of asceticism professed by so many of those who also deem themselves "enthusiasts" and "connoisseurs" and "advocates." A chacun son gout, I guess.

    I guess no one but me actually sort of occasionally maybe sometimes kind of drinks for the health benefit. :wink:

    Anywhere between 0 to 3 every day including most weekends. Occasionally More on Fridays or Saturdays, Sundays too during Football season.

    Thank God someone else has a consumption level more like mine. I keep seeing, "No more than 1 a day," and thinking to myself, "Well that doesn't sound like fun."

    I usually drink anywhere from one to three on a work night, but it depends on what's going on. I don't artificially limit myself, nor do I set a goal. I do drink at least one beer almost every day, though (yesterday was a day off). I might pop one at lunch, or right when I get home from work, or as a nightcap.

    Weekends aren't much different, really. I'm a coffee fiend, so I almost never have a "breakfast" beer (or even brunch, for that matter). It's usually anywhere from 2-4 pm before I start drinking on the weekend, so I still usually max out at about three beers, although I'm more likely to have a big beer or two in the mix than I would on a weekday.

    I rarely, rarely, RARELY get drunk (I am not in my 20s, and that next day feels worse and worse every time). I honestly don't get buzzed too often, either - probably once a week, usually Friday or Saturday.

    I kind of use those as gauges: getting buzzed, getting drunk, or not taking a day off. All of those are triggers that tell me to take a day (or more off), or slow down on for a while.

    But honestly, beer is culture. I enjoy drinking a beer almost every day, and just because I had one beer at 5 pm doesn't mean that I'm not going to have a second at 9 pm.

    I've had this avatar for a couple months now. Almost about time to change it back. The BitStrip thing came and died faster than Pogs.

    Typically 2 every day unless I've gone overboard the day before. Overboard is usually like 6 over the course of a day. I'm not getting shitfaced or anything but sometimes I just need a break.

    Doesn't always go exactly like this, but something like:

    Monday - none
    Tuesday - none
    Wednesday - one or two
    Thursday - one or two
    Friday - four or five
    Saturday - four or five
    Sunday - one or two

    One on work nights. Usually two on Friday nights. One immediately when I get in the door, one later at my leisure. Saturday and Sunday, whenever I feel like it. But never enough to prevent me from driving or taking care of our one-year old.

    1-2 after work, 2-4 on weekends. I try not to get smashed so that I can enjoy the beers I'm spending all this money on.

    I love, love good beer. It makes me happy.

    I could easily drink 3 or more every night. That would be problematic because I have kids (including two under 3) and a day job! I consider myself being responsible if I keep it to two per night. I do not drink to get drunk, although that has happened on occasion.:wink:

    My question is, how much beer do you drink, and how often?

    Typically 1-2 a night, but I've started back going to the gym and have been trying to hold off until the weekends.
