    I've had periods where I didn't drink very much beer at all. Times where I've been dieting for a particular purpose or another. That said, I didn't lose interest during those times, just kept myself from having beer.

    I have been a BA for only about two and a half years, so I'm still peaking. But I try to practice temperance with both consumption and spending. I haven't had a beer in three days (too hot) and now I'm enjoying a Trader Joe's Mission St. IPA. A BA needs to appreciate easy on the wallet and easy on the liver stuff in between going after the Beasts.

    When I think that is happening to me, I start to explore other styles until I find one that works for me.

    For me it's usually around November-January. Especially at the deer lease when bourbon and scotch are the nights drinks of choice. And yes beer is drank in the day.

    I'm at the stage where I want to drink more beer. I could easily drink a 6 pack a day if my wallet and my conscious would let me. Before I started drinking better beer I would go long periods without having any at all. Now that I drink crafts and local good stuff, I have to remind myself to moderate. I seldom if ever get drunk though. A good buzz, sure. Drunk...hardly ever.

    I lose interest when it starts to take a ridiculous amount of effort to land beers

    I may lost interest in certain styles of beer from time to time, but beer is very near and dear to my heart. No way have I ever lost interest in it.

    Don't really lose interest in beer so much as having a longing for something different, usually wine.

    I've had periods when I've gone as long as six months between periods of interest. I took a liking to Bacardi 151 a few months ago, and I've been 99% drinking either that straight or in blends line 24 Karat Nightmare. (That's equal parts Bacardi 151, Jagermeister, Goldschlager, and Rumpleminze, very German). But as of tonight I'm back in with beer. I have over 120 bottles in my cellar and it's time to go through them.

    Never get tired of beer, nor to I get the taste to switch to hard liquor or wine.

    I do however go through periods of time where all I want to do is try new stuff, and then periods where all I want to do is drink beers I know are favorites.

    Same here. When I'm working out a lot my body craves water, protein/fruit shakes, and food. When I'm not working out, I basically just drink a lot of beer haha.
    Haha this too. I insist to my wife that I'm done with beer forever and I'm going to start being smarter with our money and not drinking too much and then that same day a local bar posts that they have a beer or two that I've never tried and suddenly everything I said goes out the window. :slight_smile:

    Occasionally when I am getting head I stop thinking about beer. Occasionally.
