    For me, its once every couple of weeks. I only drink on the weekends, so if I picked up a couple six-packs, they tend to last me a week or 2.
    I tend to frequent the Grandview Market District, as they have a pretty good little beer section and its within a few minutes drive to my house. If they dont have what I want, I'll hit up the Dublin Market District on my way to work, as they have a bit bigger of a beer section than the Grandview one does.

    I go to Binny's downtown every day around lunch. A nice little walk for some midday exerices and in Chicago, beer hunting season never ends.

    Didn't vote because my beer shopping MO wasn't available. I usually go 6-8 weeks (sometimes longer) between stock ups, which average about this much in size...

    I drink only 3-5 beers per week. I also homebrew 2-4 batches fall-spring with a friend, splitting 5 gallon batches.

    At least once a week, usually Friday afternoon, occasionally Saturday, and if I am looking for something in particular, like a recent release, I'll hit my local bottle shop during the week.

    Shopping and buying are two different things for me. I hit multiple stores multiple times a week, especially if I think something desirable is on the way, but I only buy what I was searching for, except for rare occasions.

    Every Friday after work I make my own six pack in which I choose singles of different styles. I usually go for beers I haven't tried but will also occasionally throw in a favorite.

    No set schedule. As often as I can.

    Runs in cycles depending on the beer seasons but averages about once a week.

    I window shop regularly but as I do not buy I don't count these times. I only shop to buy once a week based on my other fact finding forays...

    About twice a week. Try to hit delivery days. Not adverse to special runs.

    I go shopping whenever I need more or want a style I don't already have. Comes out to about once or twice a week. It also depends on if I happen to be in the neighborhood of a good beer store.

    I only shop for beer on Sat., Sun., and weekdays, that's a rule I have been able to stick to.

    Never less than once a week. Sometimes (who am I kidding, often) more.

    If I am delivering in a particular place with unique beer, saw Indiana as compared to home turf in Cincy, once a week is suffice.

    Once a week is my norm. Part of that is the fact that its a thirty minute drive to the closest good beer store. I used to have a steady rotation of stores, but lately it's been one primary store and the occasional special trip.

    Anytime there is any present. Sadly, I am not joking. I always have too much to drink, but something always looks soooo good
