    I've been drinking beer for many years and the amount I drink as dropped as I have aged. Why? Drinking to much beer has diluted my fondness. I still drink, however it is only when I stumble across something that I have not had or I have a desire for an old standby.

    You are correct thou. Do what ever you want and what ever fcuking works. Cause those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
    Drink beer. Run some Kms, drink your beer sweat then drink some beer. With a little more beer.

    I can't drink everyday, just can't do it. I'm on a 2-3 times a week rotation now. And I'll admit sometimes I drink more than I want to or should. I'd probably benefit from cutting back but it's not like I'm doing anything bad by imbibing either (in good health, always go to work, never miss a bill, not out driving, and so on).

    I've been an everyday drinker since November 2012. But earlier this summer, I went through a 3-4 week stretch when I skipped beer all together for as long as a week to 10 days at a time. Over those 3-4 weeks, I may have drank a full six-pack total. Normally I drink a six-pack every two days.

    I didn't mean to take that break ... it just happened because that was the mood I was in. But I must say, I think I needed it. Not only did I dive head-first back into the good beer at the end of that stretch, I found myself much more open to styles I previously didn't enjoy.

    It's not for everybody, but a break from beer did me good. And when the mood hits again, I'll take another break knowing how much better beer tastes on the other side.

    I usually drink every day, even if it's just a single beer.

    It depends. I know I will drink on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. But sometimes when I am at work, for the life of me it comes down to 1) throttling someone, 2) losing my shit and going Office Space, or 3) telling myself I will treat myself to a beer within a mile of leaving the office. Since 1 & 2 would definitely put a damper on my employment and being able to drink on T,F&S I usually opt for 3, which means that I drink almost every day. Then there is Sunday. Sunday is a day to be looking forward to the upcoming week. I find on Sunday nights, I usually drink also, due to the fact I am looking forward to and dreading the upcoming week. So I guess I find myself drinking every day.

    I agree. I used to drink at least one beer every night for 9 months. I needed to cut back so I drink 2 of my beers a week plus sometimes I'll have a beer when I go out to eat. I feel like I can appreciate beer more when I haven't had one for a few days.

    1-2 an afternoon, seeing as I work early mornings. Pretty much never after 7pm and actually rarely on the weekends because I work weekends. But if company is in town, that changes.

    I look forward to having a beer with dinner every Friday night. I also have one with lunch and dinner on Saturday. I am only 23 but there is something to be said for delayed gratification and the heightened level of enjoyment that it can bring. That being said...different strokes for different folks.

    Given my affinity for D/IPA's, I usually have a bunch in the fridge and will have one or two most nights.

    Calories in Calories out. I don't drink everyday because I can't afford it. But if I could I would.

    I started home brewing which has made me drink less and savor beer more. Even though I bought good craft beers, I was downing 2 or 3 a night. I feel better now and lost a ton of weight.

    I usually drink 1-2 every evening after work. Sometimes more. My wife(she drinks wine) and I sit outside, weather permitting, and enjoy our quiet time. Up at 4:30am, home at 6:30pm every day that I work. Our quiet time is very appreciated, and I usually start with a lighter style and go to a heavier style, so I don't burn out. Oh, and I don't care what others think of my drinking habits either. To each his/her own. Cheers BAs.

    Sometimes, I try and fight the urge.
    But then I go into my garage, look at the fridge, and open it.
    The light is so beautiful and I just can't help myself. They need me, and I need them.
    Cheers!

    I try to keep it to once a week, sometimes two, so that I can train (compound lifts, cardio) on the days in between. With football season just a few weeks away though, things might soon change. :slight_smile:
