Any other weekend warriors here?

Am I the only one here that always drinks on Friday through Monday?

My plan is always to be the weekend warrior. I'll buy a bunch of beer on Friday, and drink 4 or 5 on Friday and Sunday. I'll say that I am going to save the rest for next weekend, but I always end up finishing off whatever I bought by drinking a little on Sunday and Monday.

 

perish the thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O

 

Its tough as I get older beer is more tempting than short skirts!

 

Was enjoying things a bit too much during the week so I have cutback. Trying to be good Sunday-Thursday and then enjoy some nicer beers Friday and Saturday. Recently started again acquiring some better, pricier, and often higher abv beers so telling myself if I want to keep enjoying those I need to cut back the rest of the time. Stopped buying whiskey right now too since I really enjoy it. Only stuff I have in the cupboard are super nice bottles from japan they are for special occasions.

Occasionally a Thursday pops in or I trade off and enjoy my Sunday. Couple weekends ago on Sunday I was stripping wallpaper in a bathroom and it was a blizzard out so some beer went nicely with that. I think some large football game was occurring too, not that I watched it. Or this Thursday hoping to hit up hopcat with a coworker, it's been way too long, and enjoy a $7 burger and beer and dark horse happens to be doing a mini tap take over / release.

 

I used to average 5 days a week drinking. Typically two weeknights I'd have 2 beers each night. Then hit it hard Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Now being almost 30 my metabolism is slowing and I've put on 10 pounds. Also have a kid on the way so I need to tone it down. Last two weeks I have been doing the following and plan to stick with this:

Monday - Thursday: 0
Friday: 2-3
Saturday: whatever, this is the really bad day.
Sunday: 2-3

I tend to enjoy drinking while watching sports with the fall period being the worst with Football and soccer. Now that football is gone, especially on Sundays, I am cutting it back.

 

Monday fun-day for me. I'm typically off Monday and Tuesday so nows the time.

 

You guys sound like my kind of drinking buddies.

 

AM or PM?

 

Maybe Bed, Bath and Beyond. I dont know if I'll have time

 

I try to take advantage of my youth while I still can. The only thing that could prevent me from having a beer when I want one is the wallet. And fortunately that hasn't been an issue....yet

 

AM or PM

 

Only on holidays or vacation will I drink during the week. On a regualr week it's Friday, Saturday and Sunday only. I really enjoy beer, but if I crack one open on a weeknight, I usually have at least 2 more, and that does not bode well for the next morning and getting out of bed for work...

Congrats on the wieght loss OP! I'm trying as well and am limitling my intake this month to 1-2 beers a week to see if it helps. My issue is I can do well all week long, but come the weekend I lose any ground I made during the week.

 

After gaining more than I should have last fall, this has been my go-to routine (in terms of libation consumption) for the last couple of months. It works two fold...I can lose some weight during the week overall and still enjoy ticking a couple beers and some favorites on Friday/Saturday evenings. Best of both worlds really. Though I do miss opening that beer fridge door whenever I wanted.

 

Monday - Thursday I have one per day after work.
Friday-Sunday I have a 6 pack total over the 3 days, in many different combinations. Last weekend was 3-2-1.

So essentially I have 10 beers a week, have been doing this for about a year. I have not gained one pound of extra weight during this time.

 

Most weeks look like this:

Sunday through Thursday - no beer
Friday - 2 or 3 beers
Saturday - 2 or 3 beers

Every now and again, I'll have a brew on a Thursday and during football season I might have a beer or two on a Sunday

 

During the winter I /m pretty much on a two or three beer drinking days/evenings per week routine. The others ziltch.

Calories are a factor; there is no thirty mile bike ride to knock them off when the roads are snow packed.

My main thing is there are certain basketball games that are rather intensely felt at my house. I can sit sober through a Big Monday game, if the workday Tuesday seems demanding ( especially as long as the game goes well.) Those Saturday 1PM tip-offs have a way of setting my agenda for the whole day.

Other than the two CBB games per week there is the occasional party, tasting, visitor.... And I'm still working on the rules for my Ancient Aliens drinking game.

 

Id like to try to cut beers out of the monday-wednesday nights. Im going to SF beer week tomorrow so obviously Ill be drinking a significant amount, but when I return Im going to put a lot of effort into reshaping my habits. Just want to feel more on point.

 

Monday=1
Tuesday=2
Wednesday=3
Thursday=4
Friday=5
Saturday=6
Sunday=marijuana

 

Im on same page as OP. Lost 25-30 lbs a few years ago and they havent come back. mostly because I run or play basketball every weekday.

I may have 1-2 during the week, but only if I run first.

Friday and Saturdays - no holding back.

 

right there with you
never drank during the week (outside of college).

i've got young kids and i like staying employed.
