How much and how often do you drink?

[jcg9779]

4 or 5 times a week. Sometimes a single small pour and sometimes more

It's a rare night that I don't have at least a little bourbon........ just don't tell that to my doctor!

[Restaurant man]

100% of the last 1 Thursdays have been a fantastic night to get plastered.

Amen! Hell I might even go back 2 Thursday's. But I'm not able to humor any questions from an alcoholic on the next one

My doctor friends automatically double the amount their patients claim to drink.

[Tony]

Been not drinking Monday through Thursday. Friday to Sunday probably 10 ounces or more each day.

Best regards, Tony

One thing I have stopped doing entirely is the "nightcap". I have trouble sleeping if I go to sleep with even a moderate amount of alchy in my veins.

I have apnea and use a CPAP anyway, so I don't need any more problems in that department.

Usually I cut myself off at 6, sometimes I'll push it to 7 - 7:30.

I enjoy drinking, it relaxes me after a hard day, sometimes I do feel the need to take a drink, but I go months sometimes without drinking. At my hardest drinking point, I drank a pint a night. Too much, I have 3, 4 ozs now. I have to watch it, alcoholism run in my family bigtime. But I know how to handle it. Biggst thing I get asked is, I bet you drink all day, since I make it. Nope, never do I drink on the job. All y work is by nose and sight. And barrel samples I need to try to see if they are ready, I drink at night.

[SMOWK]

I usually partake in 6 or 10 ounces daily.

Ever since I tried my first bourbon in February, I've had at least two 2-oz. pours just about every night. I've probably taken a total of 5-7 nights off during that time.

Interesting this is that I've only had two non-bourbon drinks during that time — a vodka tonic and a margarita — and both just made me think how much better bourbon is.

[squire]

I rarely drink after midnight or before 6:00 am.

I usually drink between 1 and 4 oz daily. Usually around 2.

I when discussing my consumption with my doctor and she started doing the math, "Let's see, 4 oz, at 80 proof...."

80 proof. Yeah. That's the ticket.:skep:

I chose not to correct her.:grin:

I try to avoid drinking on work nights. Like Alden, I have trouble sleeping soundly if I imbibe too close to bedtime so a little extra sleep time the next day is a must. It's usually 3-4 1oz pours on other nights. Seems I don't produce as much aldehyde dehydrogenase as some of my brethren here. Too bad there's not a supplement. :grin:

Good policy you have there, Squire.

[squire]

Yeah, if you tell 'em one small glass of wine a day they start that alcohol percentage body weight calculation like that applies equally to all.

[Jono]

I usually partake in 6 or 10 ounces daily.

6-10 oz of whiskey?

[gatsby]

I don't have a fixed routine but I drink at least a small pour almost every night. Sometimes i'll take a few nights off or drink some wine instead.

[Yeti]

6-10 oz of whiskey?

Sounds about right. :cool:

When he was Prime Minister, Winston Churchill's daily routine began with the paperwork while he was still in bed. And with some Johnny Walker. Then he took a bath--with both his papers (??) and JW. With lunch he always made a point of having a bottle of vintage Champagne. In the afternoon, he continued to work--with more JW. With dinner there was wine and after dinner some port. And over conversation with staff and guests until 1:30 or 2:00 a.m. more whisky just to keep his tonsils lubricated.

It is reported that he was rarely under the influence, probably because he sipped his Scotch with water. Eventually, though, all that liquor took its toll. Winston S. Churchill, 1874-1965. Only 91 and dead far too young.

I respecfully refuse to answer based on my fear that my wife may know my SB login.

[AaronWF]

I drink more. More than I used to.

This inquiry comes up every year or two which is perplexing as one's answer is basically meaningless. Healthy consumption and tolerance differs greatly per person based on many variables.

[VT Mike]

I believe alcoholics are compulsive drinkers who cannot get enough and don't really give a rat's ass what they are drinking as long as it has a lot of alchy in it.
