Do You Set A Limit on How Much You Drink During A Setting?

This depends on what I have at home or, if I'm out, whether I'm driving or taking transit and how much cash I have to burn. (Yes, cash. To stay on budget.)

 

Some of you people drink a lot.

 

I set my limits as I like to catch a nice buzz after work during the week. Weekends it just depends on the occasion and setting.

 

I always set a limit and pretty much never go under the limit but very often go over

 

No limit.

If I feel like having a beer, if I don't, I don't.

Usually that works out to me maybe having 1 or 2 beers during the work week and the weekend all depends on what I'm doing.

I'd say I average maybe 4-6 beers a week. I like good beer, but that doesn't mean I drink a lot.

 

No, but my old ass body & mind do. Some times I'm good for too many, other nights I think I want a beer & 2 hours later I wake up on the recliner/couch with the TV or radio going , wondering how I got there with 4-8 ozs of semi-flat beer...

 

I am pretty good at self limiting. I get to that point right at the edge of "happy" and stop. Though there are exceptions. All you can drink deals can push me far past that limit. This past weekend I did all you can drink Karaoke for the first time in a while, and ooh boy there were no limits there. It was worth a late morning the next day.

 

My deal is I would rather not drink that night than limit myself to a specific number that I almost always break, the less beer I tell myself I am going to drink the more I end up drinking, so I don't put parameters on myself. Sometimes its a 15 beer night and sometimes its one and done. I have made the mistake numerous times as this last weekend proved to be the case but it happens!

 

Per sitting, I try to limit myself, but don't say any specific number. Weekdays is hardly ever to get drunk. Just a beer, maybe two with dinner. Weekends I actually drink less, unless I am going to a festival or brewery, then it is all bets are off. I do try to limit myself to tasters at breweries though to try to keep the drinking down to reasonable levels. Normally it is so good that I would just drink too much if I had the full serving.

 

No, but I should.

 

I limit myself to about 3 on an average day just for money reasons.

 

No i rather limit to how many days a week i drink.

 

Weekdays, two is usually my self-imposed limit, so I don't have excuses in the morning when I rise (at 4AM) to workout.

Weekends vary and the amount is usually dictated by the social situation--or absence of a social commitment if we're stuck at home in all this wonderful snow. It takes about three beers to numb me from the reality that I'm going to have to watch Frozen (kids!) for the 17th time that Saturday or Sunday.

 

I LIKE YOUR STYLE!!

 

I have no patience to put so much thought into drinking beer. Formulas, numbers, articles about healthy drinking? It's not that serious. I drink beer to enjoy the experience, discover new flavors and styles, and enjoy tried and true ones as well. I might have a 12oz bottle or can on a work night. Don't really drink during the week unless I'm off from work. Fridays nights and Saturdays I'll have 3-4, maybe a couple bombers.

 

I work 10-12 hours a day, depending how work goes, If it goes bad with stress and frustrations ill have a drink, Bourbon, scotch, Rum, whatever. if it goes good i don't drink. on weekends depending on how long the day is due to Errands and tasks needed to be done driving around, ill have a couple beers, unless i want it to be a special night and crack open some bombers.

 

Depends on the situation. During lecture free time like now I'll have a beer here and there on weekdays. This usually also stays at 1-2 beers. When lecture free time is over it's restricted to weekends and more specifically social occasions.

I'd note that I generally also trink exclusively in the late afternoon/evening, doing so before kinda feels weird to me.

 

If I'm out at a bar, after three 5% abv beers (or their equivalent) I move to another barstool.

 

With exception to the 5 Little Sumpin's, I could have written this. Same exact thought. For reals.

 

Monday to Wednesday....completely abstain (workload demands and sleep deprivation and overall desire for "balance" are essential for me)

Thursday...one, maybe two (ABV 7-9%)

Weekend Nights---really depends when I start. If occupied by work/family obligations it is easier to delay the inevitable. Once started, an average of one per hour (seems like the first two go within one hour, actually)---usually no more than 6-7 in a day/night. Nothing short of 7% ABV with the average usually being 9-10% (due to "destroyed palate" and desire for thick/big taste and impact).

However, this site has been very influential in my popping and posting early morning on weekends...so hard to be disciplined when you see so many others enjoying tastes/sounds and connections....all good

"Balance"....a constant work in progress, trying to avoid the epic "fails"....and enjoying the overall life moments presented
