    Bwwwaahahahaha! For real!

    I have a bad ice-cold habit ... I put all of my beers in the freezer for a short spell before drinking them. The habit itself isn't so bad; it's borne out of necessity because I've had crappy refrigerators most of my life, plus it's very easy to let an ice-cold beer sit and warm up if the style calls for it.

    The problem happens when the beer is in the freezer too long.

    I have a bad habit of having fridge full of beer and telling myself I'm not going to buy anymore beer the next time I go out. Then my gf asks me to stop by the store to pick up a few ingredients for dinner. I find myself going to the beer section first and start filling up the basket and paying, then telling my gf that I'll have to stop at another store and buy her ingredients....then it's the same cycle over and over again. But I don't think I have a problem...

    There is not enough space here nor do I have enough time to list my bad habits.

    I buy big barrel aged beers to save. I tell myself I'll drink them on a special occasion. They're gone in a week and memorialized on my instagram.

    I'm guilty of this. On top of that, I'm always buying people drinks as the buzz grows.

    I'm assuming you mean bad habits related to beer drinking. Well, I don't think I have bad habits related to beer drinking but I do have a bad habit related to glassware. I love buying glassware from breweries I love to drink beer from and every time I buy beer I browse the glassware section with a strong desire to buy a glass. But most of the time I tell myself I have enough glasses.

    I don't have any bad habits that I know of, but I have been known to have some pretty bad ideas from time to time.

    Being on this forum makes me glad I'm single. Peoples' girlfriends seem to give them shit about everything. I wouldn't put up with that.

    Don't know if it's a bad habit or coincidence, but most of my favorite styles are big ABV beers. Tripels, Quads, Imperial Stouts, Barleywines, DIPA's. Also, I tend to drink these styles at more or less the same speed as I do lower ABV styles.

    This definitely was a bad habit, but I've tamed it. If the LCBO ( Liquor Control Board of Ontario) got a good IPA or DIPA release, I'd buy way to much and then use freshness as an excuse for drinking it all to quickly.

    Whenever I travel, I always try to get something I can't get back home, which equals over 200 beers in my collection.

    I'l be adding more when I go to my uncle's wake tomorrow night.

    Definitely smoking. Not attributed just to beer but that's mostly all I drink. I gave up daily smoking around 5 years ago, but after a few beers I start chaining. Been trying to kick it but have been unsuccessful.
