Do You Set A Limit on How Much You Drink During A Setting?

I generally have 2-3 beers during the weeknights after work. It's my way of unwinding after the day (I work 12-13 hour days) and on my day off it can be 6-8 depending on the ABV of the beer. All beer counting is off during brew days and football sundays.

 

No

 

If I drink during the work week, I typically limit it to just one and it's typically a 12oz variety. Weekends I'll bust out the bombers.

 

This is pretty much my condition as well.

 

I just try to start late, so needing to go to bed naturally limits me.

 

I usually drink a bomber and 2-3 12oz bottles/pint cans on weekends. I also start late and I just end up passing out after a few hours.

 

Weeknights I usually don't drink, except for tonight because Bell's just hit CA and I've been excited to try their beers. Friday nights 2-4 12 ounce beers depending on ABV or 1-2 bombers also depending on ABV. Sometimes Saturdays and Sundays and if I am on vacation I'm drinking almost everyday with very few restrictions . My drinking also depends on how many hours I work in a week, it varies from 35 (more drinking) to 50 hours (less drinking).

Limit it to no more than one weeknights and go heavy on the weekends.

 

I consider 12oz at 5% as one beer unit (based on medical guidelines) and try to keep weekly total in the moderate range.

 

Do you mean "sitting" and not setting? Or perhaps session?

 

I don't set a limit. My wife does.

 

I try to stay at two 12oz beers or a bomber during the week (take Wednesday night off) and not great at counting during the weekend. Not having football on does help a lot, so Wednesday now has a friend in Sunday.

 

0-2 beers 5 nights a week Unknown the other two

 

Yeah... I like to call that 2 beers.

 

I stop when I try to stand up from the couch and am unable to.

 

I came up with a general guide I use for myself that I like and is fairly simple. Take the ABV of the beer in your glass (outside of a taster, glass size isn't taken into consideration). For each beer you drink, just add up the numbers. So one glass of 7% IPA + one 5% pilsner = 12. When I reach the number...

15: I won't drive

25: I stop if I have anything important to do in the morning

35: Start drinking water, take an asprin, plan on sleeping in.

40+: Fuck it, give me another beer.

Obviously this can vary based on time of your setting (20 over like 3 hours I'll still drive), and the driving limit is the only one I'm pretty rigid on, but it works for me.

 

Not really, I just kinda feel it out. I never drink anywhere but home, so driving isn't an issue for me.

But for reference, I drank 5 Little Sumpin' Sumpin's on Saturday night, and that was a lot for me. I hardly ever drink 5+ of anything in one day.

 

Weekends only. Anything goes.
