    I am interested in knowing how much a person that is interested enough in craft beer to read message boards about it drinks in a regular week. I could not search the forums for "how much" so I thought I would post it here. Feel free to move or shut it down if you don't think it contributes to the conversation.

    one a day, sometimes two. This is consistent across weekdays and weekends. Sometimes I will do a little more on weekends, but I mean my 1-2 becomes 2-4 on saturday. Sometimes none! If I'm busy with family sometimes I won't drink at all on weekends. That's awful.

    I can down a case in a week. Sometimes i do. Sometimes i dont. I chose 19+ because so far this week, its thursday and im at 11 beers already in the past 4 days. There's STILL tonight, then a Halloween party, so thats that. But i average 1-3 per day.

    I chose 4-6.

    I rarely drink anything at all M-TH. Then Friday night I'll have a couple...sometimes a couple more on Saturday/Saturday night...then usually a couple more on Sunday during football season...

    I don't understand how you can drink 19+. That's called being an alcoholic.

    Depends.

    If I'm reviewing, about 6-8.

    If I'm just drinking to get drunk, maybe 15 a sitting. My liver tried getting emancipated but I have a good lawyer so

    14 beers a day is just crazy to me. Your liver still works?

    I put 13-18. That's probably on a really good week or a really bad week. 2 a day puts me at 14, so probably about right. Over 19 does happen though and I don't feel badly about it. Except some mornings.

    Probably about two a day on average for me…obviously can be more or less but I rarely drink to get drunk. It's more of a beer with dinner and then possibly another after.

    Depends. I can't say 1 a day because there are multiple days a week for whatever reason I have have none.
    Usually 1-2 in a sitting. But if tailgating or apres ski that number increases, sometimes significantly.

    I chose 4-6. It's more of a "some days" thing with me. Some days, like today, when I have nothing to do but be a homebody I'll have two or three, maybe even four. Some days after work I might have one or none. I might not have any for the whole week. If I don't feel like one today, it'll be there tomorrow if I do.

    Normal week:
    Monday-Thursday: 0-2 max, usually no more than 3 total over that time.
    Friday-Saturday: 2-5 max, some nights less, some nights more.
    Sunday: The opposite of what happens Friday-Saturday in total. So if I haven't had many, I'll have a few. If I've had a lot, maybe 1.

    I don't think 19 beers in a week is really all that much too be honest, 2.7 beers a day? not exactly hardcore. I think quite a few BA's would be in the 50+ with ease.... well honest ones at least.

    It's hard to say exactly how many a week. Maybe a better question would be "how much alcohol do you consume via beer per week"?

    For instance, I had one beer last night. It was a 500ml bottle of an 11.9% beer. Total alcohol delivered: about 1.42 ounces. So, I had about two and a half beers if we use the standard of "one ounce of alcohol per serving", which is about what you'd get from two and a half 5% ABV beers in a serving size of 12 ounces.

    For example, I got smashed nearly unconscious one day on two beers. Two bombers. Firestone Parabola and Abacus. 6.16 ounces of alcohol., or the equivalent of drinking nearly a 12 pack of longneck Buds. In two hours. Yikes.

    Realism! To say drinking 19+ beers a week is an alcoholic, is just nonsense...There are beers that have 2%abv and beers with up to 20+%abv. So if you have a few "wine-coolers" a day, you are an alcoholic??? Judge your beer, not others!
