How much and how often do you drink whiskey?

[ViperGlock]

I've had approx 3.5 oz in 2011...but the year is still young! :grin: :grin:

**ǝʇɐpdn** - Add another 1.5 to that total! :grin:

You might as well switch to ovaltine. Malt taste, but no alcohol. I have had more than that since 5.

You're definitely on a roll....keep it going!:drinking:

Maybe an ounce or two a couple of times a week and often less.

At this rate, it makes the size of my bunker pretty comical. :cool:

I've thought about that reading the threads on here. Some of you seem quite wealthy and have hundreds upon hundreds of bottles stored up. I can only assume you are raising some kids with a taste for bourbon as well. :grin:

I drink 1 or 2 shots (about 2oz) each night, skipping evenings I don't feel well or I just don't feel like a drink. I actually have a circulatory condition called Raynaud's Syndrome that can be largely repressed by alcohol consumption. It keeps my blood thinner and dilates my blood vessils- ensuring good circulation. It's much tastier and cheaper than prescription meds!

What'chu talkin' about, Willis?

To answer the threads question, to much, to often.

[George]

I rarely drink during the week, and when I do, it's not more than 1-2 oz. On weekends, I'll usually have about 2-3 oz. each day.

[Happyhour24x7]

I never really measured my pours until now; turns out they're about 4 oz or so. I generally have 2 of those a night, with maybe a smaller third, neat or with a cube depending on the whiskey and my taste at the time, 3-4 nights a week. The other nights are martini nights. :cool: And thanks to ethangsmith's lost above, I now have a medical reason for doing so!

[RegChumpington]

I tend to average 2oz 4-5 nights a week. Occasionally I'll double up and do 4oz but I tend not to sleep as well those nights (although, as noted up thread, I tend to not have as much heartburn as I used to before I got into it).

That being said, I've been on the 4oz/day pattern lately as I've been on vacation, and there's nothing wrong with an early afternoon pour to go along with the after-dinner pour.

[MissinER101]

Almost every night, not sure the amount, I drink neat from a Glenncarin filled to the bottom of the full swell of the glass, probably 1.5 oz. I'll usually have 3 a night, sometimes up to 6.

And some of you call yourselves "Enthusiasts" with your not drinking during the week and only having a half shot when you do. Bravo to all you true bourbon fanatics who have multiple pours every night and fill it to the top. Add me to that list. Drink and drink often!

[Tucker]

3-4 oz. nearly every day. Doctor's orders.

[silverfish]

Doctor's orders.

Dr. Feelgood?...

[IowaJeff]

If I exercise later in the day I generally don't have any. Most other nights I have about two 2-3 ounce pours on average. Probably shakes out to about 4-5 nights a week. On weekends its probably a bit more.

Once again...that do you mean? :hot:

[AaronWF]

I've been trying to cut down the last few months; sometimes the holidays and winter in general put me in a pattern of just about daily drinking that can really start to wear on me. I pretty much let 'er rip on Friday and Saturday nights with a few beers and maybe up to 5 or 6 pours. I'll try to grab a few dry days Monday through Thursday, or at least limit my alcohol to a glass of wine or a beer or two with dinner - sometimes I'll sneak a whiskey in there as well.

It's the gin Sundays that make my liver feel like it's been in a fight...

[gblick]

Some weeknights I won't have any, others I'll have anywhere from 1oz to maybe 3oz. On weekends I may double that amount per evening when staying up late. Lots of water in between pours.

[chefnash51]

I would say 2 to 3 oz Mon - Thur, with a a day sometimes two, where I have none thrown in there. Fri - Sun maybe 4 to 6 oz?
