    Wait, that's when I was a ticker once upon a time.

    In all seriousness, I strive to be <3 drink units per day on average.

    Between 2 - 6 when I know I have to get up for work. About 10 on day off (but since my sleep-wake pattern is odd, I'm usually awake a day and a half when I'm off so it's not like 10 beers in 2 hours or anything...)

    Which may seem like a lot to some (it's a lot to me, thanks to my budget), but when I went through my lowest point in life, I drank about 12 a day when I worked and about 26 on days off... and it was usually half craft, half budweiser. Not proud of those numbers, but I'm proud of the vast decrease I've made in consumption.

    I think it's funny the OP specified craft beer. Clear discrimination against the BAs who drink tons of BMC.

    I'd say 2 a night is a good estimate.

    i average about 2 per day, but it varies. Sometimes more if there are a lot of social events or stress level is high at work, sometimes less... I am trying to cut back somewhat... got put on cholesterol meds recently and the doc said that I should limit it to 2 per day while on the meds. While I am at an ave of 2 per day, I know that the medical def of 2 per day is 2 12oz beers at about 5%... and I am not sure that I have a beer in my fridge at 5%.

    On average, 3-4 through out the day. Usually it's only 2-3, others it's around 6-7. So, around 300-350 oz. a week.

    Hmmm, I want to say the number would go down if I worked more because I'm only part time, but I tend to drink a beer or two a night at work. When summer hits and I'm working 70+ hours a week, you'll probably see a lot less of me on here..... or not.

    Typically anywhere from 1-5 different beers...bombers, taps, cans, or 12 oz.

    Hm, a good but dangerous question...I'd say I average anywhere from 2-4 beers per day/night. Perhaps more on the weekends. I tend to buy build-your-own sixers, so I have more variety and more to try. Maybe my number's a bit high but hey, it's quality stuff, and life's too short to miss out on fine beer. Unless your my doctor, and it's much too much.

    4-6 beers a week, usually split into 2 days. It slows my weight loss, but I just don't care.

    Just FYI, >14 beers a week can be concern for alcoholism. Not always though.

    More than my wife would like, but I probably end up drinking 5-6 days a week with averaging around 3 per night, always after the kids are asleep.
