how many bottles of Bourbon a month do you drink?

[spun_cookie]

I was trying to figure this one out last night for a swag of how many years of stock of bourbon I have.

With a quick, 1 per month I had 40 years worth of bourbon, but that seemed low... The 1 per month that is.

I pretty much only drink bourbon now days due to my travel again, so at 2 oz per night average, that is 60 oz per month and 2.2 bottles a month.

I do not always have 2 oz and I do not drink every night, but close the last year.

Anyhow, I am going to say I go through 2-3 a month, and I plan on mapping it a while to see...

How about y'all?

As a matter of fact I to am on a mapping of what I drink.

When I finish with what's open now (11 bottles, they are all real low) I am going to do a thorough inventory and drink everything that I have of 2 bottles or more.

Then at the end of the year compare it, with any additions, to what is left.

Also as I have stated elsewhere, my goal this year is to buy as little as possible.

I'd guess I go through 1-2 bottles a month, give or take.

Also 9 weeks and 2 days of no smokin',....

Great job! It may not be easy but I know its worth it in the long run.

Congrats on the not smoking thing... it's not easy but after a few months cigarettes made me sick. I had one after quitting and almost threw up, tasted awful. Did wonders for being able to breath and such as well!

How many bottles a month... hard to say. I would say 1-2? 2 oz a day on the high end, lots of days I have .5 oz or 1oz... others I have 3. Really depends.

As am I, but I have already purchased about 12....

Hmmm, 12 in 6 days, you are on track to buy 730 bottles this year.

Bring up a couple of cases of your favorites this summer, (I still remember your goal).:grin:

[unclebunk]

I'm guessing I consume 1-2 full bottles per month but you can add another bottle or two if there's a special occasion or holiday in a given month.

[barturtle]

Last, best estimate was 15 bottles/year. I'm stocked for somewhere around 20 years. I last bought bourbon in October (that has to be a new personal record for since I was 16)

[fishnbowljoe]

I'd estimate that I finish 2-3 a month. That's a real rough guestimate. There's times when I have a lot of open bottles with only a pour or two in them, and I'll finish 3-4 in a week. Then I won't send anything to the recycle bin for 2-3 weeks. I also share a lot of my stuff with my bowling team, (and others) so that kind of throws my count off a bit. Joe

[hectic1]

I typically have about 2oz when I drink and I would guess that I have a pour 3-4 times a week...I would guess that puts me between 1-2 bottles a month! At this rate I'll never run out as I buy about 4-5 bottles a month...

I know... but dusties are so hard to pass up.... I have a planned dusty trip soon as well, so I might be close to that 730 by the time things are up

[Westernboys]

I would say 1-2 a month but probably a little more during the holidays...... ( New Years, MLK day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas):shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Of course my wife is the one who usually says, "let's have some bourbon" and I gratefully share:rolleyes:

[ratcheer]

I drink considerably less than one bottle per month.

[independant]

At my current rate of consumption I am knocking out 3 bottles a month and will be out of bourbon in a little over 3 years.

Luckily I am still buying bottles so I will never run out.

[IronHead]

I probably knock down just over a bottle a month. At that rate I currently have enough bourbon for just over 5 years.

Also 9 weeks and 2 days of no smokin',....

Oscar,

9 weeks and 2 days! Good for you! Congratulations, you're past the hard part. Cold turkey works. I did that on 3-15-1982 at 4PM. If I hadn't I would have been buried by now.

Now, what's the tread about? I think I drink about 18 bottles/year or 1.5/month give or take. Perhaps more in the winter and less in the summer.

I'm counting on my consumption increasing when I retire, but at any rate I too could go the entire year (for several years) without purchasing any bourbon but what fun would that be?

[spun_cookie]

Now, what's the tread about?

Did you mean "thread" .. just random Cookie thoughts... someone asked me how many gallons I had of juice, so I started thinking how much I have and how long it might take me to drink it....

... I did not like the answer. Hard to justify buying more when you have 40 yrs worth, so now I know where to move my consumption level to so I can justify buying more

[birdman1099]

If you feel you have too much, let me help you out.....:grin:

[NYtaster]

My best estimate is a bottle or so a week. I just tend to buy what I drink unless its somthing special and that tends to hang around for a few weeks. Mostly thats due to the limited selection I have here in winter wonderland. The best stocked place in 100 miles really only has the most common of what some of you lucky guys have access to.

[theDon]

I really thought I was on a bourbon drinkers site. Am I? I have at least 3 shots worth every day. 15 shots in bottle that's 1 a week plus maybe 5 shots each weekend night. That's with a full time job 2 kids and a daily exercise program. Seriously, some of you only drink 2 oz or less a day? I'm going to rehab.....I mean to the liquor cabinet.
