How often do you get drunk?

Or you could do what I did tonight. I finished the second of two 8.5 oz glasses of DFH Bitches Brew (the wife drank the other 8.7 or whatever it was) about 15 minutes ago (just after 11:00). I cracked the bottle about 7:30. So, yes, I had just over a pint of 9.0%ABV beer and didn't get drunk. You can call me a liar if you like, but I know how much I drank.

To answer the original question: Depends on your definition of "drunk." Enough to feel that I've been drinking something: Once every 7-10 days. A good buzz, enough that I shouldn't be driving: 6-8 times a year. Usually when I'm at a beer event or my brother's in town. Or there's a West Ham game on and I don't have anywhere to be that day. Good and drunk: About once or twice a year. Rum is usually involved. I drink a beer after dinner most nights, but I usually nurse them for a good long time, so unless it's 10% or over, I don't usually get much of a buzz.

 

I drink craft beer 5-6 times a week but usually 1-2 beers. Friday is typically my heavy night of drinking where I indulge in *gulp* all of 3 beers. Sometimes Saturday I'll have 4 but only if I drink in the afternoon and the evening. That said I will exceed those limits on occasion, _maybe_ once a month and drink 4, maybe, maybe maybe 5 beers in an evening. I typically drink strong-ish beers (IPAs for example) but it usually takes me 45-60 minutes to finish a 12oz-er, so even drinking 4 of those I'm only slightly, if at all, 'drunk'. I like to get growler refills but I have to share them with the wife as I don't drink that much in a night.

I'm well into my 30s and it's all about moderation for me now!

 

Almost never. Back in the day, a couple decades ago, but there is no appeal now.

 

Yes. I'm sorry, can u please repeat the question?

 

I abstain 4-5 days per week. But Saturday is my day to relax. I do have a high tolerance though. So I suppose this makes me a binge drinker with a high tolerance. Then on Sunday ill enjoy 5-6 brews before abstaining for the coming week.

 

I get drunk as often as the situation is right for it. Got drunk for the Bama-Georgia game, because we had a bunch of people over here and the vibe was right. Before that it was our Oktoberfest and it may be another month (or day after tomorrow) before I get drunk again.
Strangely, my wife and I do a lot of beer tourism but I rarely get drunk(even by y standards) when I'm "travelling for beer". Also I may have a beer or 3 in town, but if I want to drink more than that I'll probably be here at my house.

 

On purpose? Almost never. Accidentally? Let's just say I really enjoy my beers.

 

Almost never ...except those rare times I figure I can tackle a 750 of high abv beer. Last time was Melange #3. I just couldn't help myself, it tasted too damn good!!!

I believe you based on that. That's about 3 drinks over the course of the 3 hours. I doubt anyone would get buzzed off that. However, I'm just saying the majority of people out there don't space out high alcohol beers over a couple hours, only drink one or eat a lot of food. A lot of people lie about their drinking habits. That's understandable but it's pretty lowly to lie in an anonymous internet forum.

 

That is priceless. Not that it has happened more then once or twice but drunken purchases are always funny. Dropped $200the on northern brewer for supplies a couple years ago. Not the $450the but still a wtf did i do but still reaping the benefits moment. The best though was my roommate freshman year of college. Drunkenly vought a $100good knife and sword set on homeshopping. Showed up a week later. Not really the kind of thing to have in a college dorm but still hilarious... luckily no one got stabbed

 

That's a nice avy you got there.

 

i love getting a buzz, which i do pretty much fri, sat & sun

get sloppy drunk every few months

 

I only drink 2, maybe 3 days a week. If I have 1 beer, I'm having 6 or 8 or something like that.

 

About once a month I'll go out to a bar, though I'll have a beer about 3-5 nights a week after work. When you're actively losing weight drinking really cuts into that, though the bright side is it takes far less to get me buzzed than it used to!

 

Sorry, it just made me laugh to see the picture of Charlie Brown with the comment "I get sloppy drunk every few months." No wonder Snoopy hides in his imaginary world.

 

I hardly ever get drunk. When I do, it is when my friends are having a party, or we are going out to the bars. I do have one to two beers a night, however, simply because I enjoy the taste. Depending on the night, this may stretch to three or four, but I have a pretty high tolerance so this will usually give me a buzz if anything. Of course, this all depends on the beer, and as with most people, bombers count as two.

 

Slightly drunk maybe once or twice a month but buzzed probably once or twice a week. I only get very drunk about once or twice a year and it's usually not intentional. I generally drink 1 to 2 beers a night, sometimes 4 to 6 on the weekend.

 

To the point where I legally can't drive and would blow over the limit if I was pulled over? 3-4 times a month.

To the point where I'm uncomfortable and actually drunk...maybe 2-3 times a year? If that.

 

Its all about quality of life.

I consider it a win if I don't drink 1-2 days a week....
