    I'm trying to reduce the amount I'm drinking due to training for the Urbanathlon in Chicago. (Anyone else doing it this year?)

    So 1-2 nights during the week I'll have 1 beer. On Saturday and Sundays I'll have 3-4 each day just depending on what I have going on.

    I usually open 1-2 beers/bottles a night regardless of the abv or size of the bottles. (12oz, 22oz, 750ml, ect.)

    I feel like a may be border line alcoholic. I go by glasses not beer bottles. So around one or two glasses a night and on the wkend it may reack three to four glasses a night. I'm trying to cut back but after a long day at work it's like the beer is calling my name. I start to get that heroin itch and I need a glass. Help me stop???

    Lately closer to 7 days a week. M-Th is generally only a 12 oz. F-Sa is a 22 or 2. Maybe a 750 and a 22 if I am feeling frisky.

    Cheers!

    I try to count drinks in terms on how much alcohol I'm consuming. One 12oz 5%abv beer counts as one. So a bomber is almost 2, and if the abv is 8 or 9% then I factor the ounces by 8/5 or 9/5 respectively. Cause I think we can all agree that drinking a HoTD Adam at 10% is not the same as having a Boston Lager.

    One new beer (12oz/Bomber/750ml) a day (unless something comes up to prevent that).

    On Saturday night I sit ticking aside and go for quantity.

    On average probably 6 days a week, 1-2 12oz beers on a weeknight, who knows how many on a weekend. Sometimes I'll have a couple beers lined up and only wind up drinking the first one. Cheers

    I pretty much drink everyday. I'll tell myself that I'm not going to, and I have on occasion just passed on a drink that evening, but more often than not I have atleast 2-4 beers after work. Be it between getting home and going to bed.

    Some might be "1" and be 750s' or bombers.. or hell a growler.. I normally split my bombers and 750's and re cap them and drink them the next day.

    Sometimes more.. Average is probably 2, or 3 at best. Weekends is no different. Same amount really. Maybe 2 more than normal and thats because I crack them open earlier.

    If I have homebrew on tap, I'll end up pulling some pints of that more often than not.. Wonder around the garage bored.. drinking.... it sounds worse than it is. :wink:
