    12-15 a week. Unless we are camping, how could you keep count?

    Usually around 15-20. I never really binge, but whenever I'm sitting at home watching TV I tend to have a beer or two.

    I stopped counting the number of beers I drink a week and started counting the times I drink something other than beer.

    I find that my beer consumption is directly related to the amount of overtime that I work. If that logic applies to others, you guys must work alot of OT! :grinning: All kidding aside, 6-12. Usually no more than 2-3 at a time.

    I'm doing this for myself. I just want to keep an eye out for my alcohol consumption. I find that I want a beer every day. I can go for multiple days without one, and I'm "happy" to do it, meaning I don't get the shakes or become irritable, but the only times I do this are the times I "have" to do it, like if I'm at my parents. When I drink, I'm fine sticking to just 1-2 beers. They aren't strong beers either. I'm a noob homebrewer, so I'm beginning to drink my own beer now and buying a little less at the store. I don't care for getting drunk, but drinking just 1 sometimes can get a buzz going. If I'm out with friends who don't drink as much as I do, if they even drink at all, I still want some, and get it. I know I'm driven home DUI, but never found myself driving off the road or into another lane, nor do I drive excessively slowly. I've been in a car with people do that - driving 45mph in a 55-60. You have to tell them to speed up. The driving part is what bothers me the most. I have a home breathalyzer but haven gotten out of the habit of keeping it in the car.

    I have one beer every day when I get home from work. Always have. And then comes the weekend.

    I drink one or two per night, trying to stay below 120 ABV-oz. I'll take a day or two off before and/or after any day I know I'll be drinking a lot (e.g. wedding)

    In a week where I'm home all the time, about a dozen 12oz (Thur-Sun, 3 a night, Don't work Fridays) However, I've been doing a fair bit of traveling the past 6 months, N&S Dakota, Minnesota, Florida, Tennessee, and that's where the trouble starts. Every day is off work, and I'm on vacation. No limits! Wife unamused. How soon she forgets I give up the ale for Lent.

    I average between 15 and 21 (5-7 three times a week).
    With a couple bourbons sipped alongside.
    Perhaps a fattie.

    I've been on a small bender for a bit, so I would say... 45-55? 6-8 an evening with an occasional afternoon couple, 6 or 7 days a week. My usual routine is 6-8 with an occasional afternoon couple, 4 or 5 days a week. :grimacing:

    I generally have at least a 12 pack and a bomber or two over a week at home, if not more. At bars, it depends on whether I've driven or not. I do share a lot of my beers I open at home though.

    It all depends. Lately maybe 12-15 which is on the lower end. Regularly probably about 20-30.

    Generally around 15-20 a week here too. It depends on work and Uni to be honest. And if friends are around. I'm happy if the standard drinks are under 25.

    2-3 per week. Although the average may rise due to Philly Beer Week....:wink:

    Usually five per week, I like to keep things slow, leading to even more enjoyment when I finally decide to have a beer (usually drinking days are thursday to saturday for me). That being said, I like to convice other people of smaller breweries and therefore share a lot, which rises up the beer amount slightly.
