Self-Imposed Beer Limitations?

Money is my HARD limit.
I drink to enjoy the beer and life, yesterday I had 5 nice beers....

 

Some very meticulous people here.
I try not to be too hungover the morning after, and generally like to have at least two days a week where I don't drink at all. "Too hungover" may vary, depending on what I expect to do the next day.

 

It may be time to move on..

 

Drinking good beer usually take care of that problem

 

This thread just makes me sad.

 

Not having any beer makes me sad

 

I usually try to avoid drinking on an empty stomach. That's about my only rule though.

 

I give up beer every third day. But only cuz I work a 24 hour shift every third day.
My two days off I typically drink 4 to 8 beers one day and 3 the night before work.
Typically ...

 

rock solid logic here

 

i think you might have missed his point

 

I presume this is a serious thread, so I will answer it seriously. I think there is a difference between purchase and consumption.

I try not to spend more than $50 per month on beer, but I have been known to spend closer to $100 when my enthusiasm is high. Last month, I spent more than double that (about $250), something I have never done in 15 years of drinking beer. I don't necessarily regret my purchases, which included KBS, Black Note, BA Biscotti Break and BA Even More Jesus, as well as a find of some Thomas Hardy Ale. But I cannot say that I made the most responsible decisions, either--especially considering that I didn't put any money into savings last month and I have quite a few house issues right now.

As for consumption, I permit myself one 12 oz. bottle per day Sun-Friday and one bomber on Saturdays. I teetotaled for almost two years while I lost a considerable amount of weight, and then shifted to becoming an occasional drinker (say, 1-2 beers/week). Now, I've allowed myself to drink a bit more and this is the best I can do in terms of moderation. This is just me, but as long as diet/exercise are on point, I don't see why beer cannot have a place.

 

Sometimes I feel like I spend too much money on beer, then I realize I just need to make more money.

 

You are joking right ?

 

Do I follow it? How can you?!

 

Dude I would hope not !!

 

It's impossible

 

I drink like its my fuggin' JOB. As if it were my duty to enjoy what this planet put here.

I dont really drink to excess, its only 1 per night during the week. But when I'm in the beer shoppe, I act as if ev-er-y beer on the shelf is available for one day and one day only, and that I just happened to be there for it. I tell myself that they are never going to make this beer again....not next month, not next year....never ever again. I'm not even talking about rare stuff. I'm talking about everything I see.

So i need to get it right away, b/c despite the fact that the beer shoppe has been around for yeeaaaarrsss, there might not be any beer tomorrow.

 

Living with my gf who is also into beer makes it a lot easier to drink good beers regularly. I'd hate to be on the hook to drink an 11%+ Barrel aged beer on my own. We generally open something nice very night. Sometimes 2, depending on volume. We try to limit it to a bomber or two 12oz bottles a night.

 

Beer also among other things has caused my waistline to increase to 38", so now I have limited myself to beer consumption only on Wednesdays and weekends as Wed's are my group's beer tasting day of the week, and try to limit it to one/day on weekends, but that's hard when you've got Daytime and GoTo in your fridge

 

If I hear someone say bro and then follow that word with some assanine post like this one where it is required to be an almost functioning alcoholic to be considered remotely a "beer advocate," then I have no choice but to put you into the category of douchey fratboy idiot, and that's mostly because you said bro twice
