    Hello guys,

    Recently I've picked up the habit of drinking 5-6 0.5l bottles of beer a day. It's mainly 3-4 different IPA-APAs (interesting beers) and 2 bottles of lager to call it a night.

    I have a job and gf etc, so it's not causing any problems in my life.

    Still I would like to know how I fare compared to more seasoned beer drinkers.

    Thanks for the replies.

    How old are you?

    Generally when people ask this question, it may be time to taper off a bit.

    Not judging, but 2,5/3l of beers every evening is prolly a tad too much. Hope you have the toilets close enough to your bedroom.

    Maybe this sort of thread, with its dozens of incarnations, needs to have its own forum.

    I'm 23. As you said though, it feels a bit much. I was more of a 420 guy before so it's a switch for me. Just recently got into beers.

    How much do you drink, personally?

    I probably average only a beer, or two since this past summer now.

    For many years I was probably more around three beers every day, some high ABV.

    Alas, the older I get the tougher it is to stay in shape.

    I'm pretty close in age. It honestly depends on the day. I would say 2-3 per day on average, but there's some days I only get around to 1. Weekends can be a totally different story

    I did notice beer takes a toll on my weight. At my job I'm very physically active so it's not a huge problem. I prefer staying below 5.9% ABV.

    Oh really anything lol. I like to try as many different beers and styles that I can. Like you I enjoy balancing out the big NEIPAs and such with lower abv lagers and Goses

    Same tbh. Great fun. The only thing I can't stand is high ABV red/brown ales. Do you have any recommendations along the lines of IPA/APA? Some that I can get in Europe, so more commercial.

    It depends. There's 2-3 days a week that I don't drink at all. Then, there's days like Sundays, where while participating in NBS, I'll drink and review 2-5 new beers, then maybe have a couple of fridge beers after that. Somedays it's just a couple. My average over a year is probably in the 3-4 range (I've got 520+ new reviews for the year already, and the year isn't over), when ya add in the regular selection, the number climbs easily.

    I try to steer clear on the weeknights but I’ll do an easy 4-8 pints per day on the weekend. If I do go in for some during the week it’s probably 3 or less.

    Haha that's reassuring. So "fridge beers" is indeed a thing.

    I was gonna say, I could count my reviews, but with all the 4 packs purchased, I could fool myself pretty easily.:wink:

    Can't go wrong with DFH 60 Minute IPA and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, their Celebration is fantastic too when in season. I'm fairly certain you could get those in Europe, but as far as other IPA/APA available to you I can't say with certainty

    HU :slight_smile: Craft brewing has really seen a rise in this area in the recent 5-6 years.
