    This is a serious question. Obviously, we are all fans of alcohol, and drink it on a pretty consistent basis. A lot of the stuff we sip on is much more potent than the BMC that the masses consume. I'm interested to see what the drinking habits are with everyone, and how often people here get drunk. Do you save it for special occasions (holiday parties, birthdays, New Year's, etc.)? Or do you indulge every weekend?

    I just...don't...When i was younger I partied more than I would like to admit...I think I kinda just got my fill of it then. Back then, it was all about drunkest fastest. Now, I would rather drink a small amount and actually enjoy it...and remember it.

    I don't get drunk per say, but I do enjoy at least 1-2 beers a couple nights a week. Sometimes I have a few more than I intended and do end up getting drunk, but that happens minimally. I only really drink heavily on weekends. Not every weekend though

    Every time I set out to try and get drunk and have a good time I usually end up getting bored and go to bed after 4 or 5.

    Stupid high tolerance, Taking forever to get drunk.

    Actually drunk (beyond buzzed) maybe a couple times a month. All of which are social occasions.

    I will get drunk on a friday or saturday accidently but that is only because I have so many awesome beers lined up I just want to get to them all. But I hate hangovers, so I really try to not get drunk... But if it happens I still enjoy it for what it is and have a little fun.

    I don't like to get drunk and generally I try to avoid getting buzzed. However, on birthdays, beerfests and other special occasions I indulge not for the sake of getting drunk, even though I know I'm going to, but for the fact I get to drink a lot of good beer at once.

    I've never been drunk. Don't know what it feels like. And I've never lied, either.

    Never. Hate it. Really hate it! A simple rule for me: Always, usually, sometimes, never! Always have one, usually have two, sometimes have three and never have four in a day! Keeps the creditors at bay too.

    Probably get drunk once a week and I catch a buzz more often than that. With alot of these beers it's hard not to catch a buzz after 1 or 2. I don't really drink for the purpose of getting drunk anymore, except for special occasions. It's more of a happy byproduct of having alot of good beers to drink.

    Every "tasting" I've ever been to has resulted in a lot of drunken people (myself included)...owing in all probability to the high ABVs and massive numbers of bottles being opened. I get drunk much less frequently when I go to a pub or a beer garden drinking my usual go-to beers (the most recent exception being drinking 4 liters at the Augustinerkeller in Munich while watching the World Cup...ouch).

    Sitting in front of the porcelain god, waiting to spew, is something I gave up a long time ago. My apologies for the graphic nature of my reply. Oh, and that spinning bed...only cure was to sleep on the floor.

    I do not deliberately drink to get drunk. I drink to have great beers and if a nice buzz comes along with it then that's a nice bonus. Back to the original question. I get drunk usually during special events/occasions where there is good beer. There is always a big quantity of beers some with high abvs and its easy to loose track.

    Love this thread! Let's think about this. Do I work in a beer store as the buyer? Yes. Do I own a kegerator? Yes. Do I love the way the beers I buy taste? Yes.
    I don't call it drinking, I call it studying. And in that case I am really smart.
