What's your consumption?

[Tony Santana]

Well, if you practice what doctors and nurses do when they ask you how much you drink, just double what everybody says and that should make you feel better. :cool:

A buddy of mine said he went to the doctor and was asked how many days a week he drinks. He said "no more than seven".

[bingstein]

I'll say probably 2-3 bottles, sometimes more, sometimes less. I go on spurts where all I really want is 1 oz per evening. I then have nights where about 8 different bourbons sound great and I take about 1 oz of each. Then there are times where I cannot stop drinking VOB BIB after getting a few. I'm like most folks here, though, in that I rarely finish a bottle so it is tough to tell. I probably have between 20 and 25 bottles open at any time and twice (or thrice) that bunkered.

These days bottles tend to get opened more frequently than they get emptied. Before bottles started multiplying in the house it was pretty rare for 750ml of anything to see the same weekday twice.

[RWBadley]

I have a collection of empties going back three years showing my average is about 2.5 750's spirit/month.

This includes supplying friends stopping by and-- for the last year an equally thirsty as I lady friend for whom a little bourbon has proven quite the aphrodisiac. This has increased consumption a bit... well, a lot ;-)

4-8 oz. per night.

Hey, I'm a bartender after all. Its my job.

Having referred my doctor friends to this web site I ain't saying.

I probably go though a bottle equivalent (I drink a variety of bourbons) in a typical week.

[Ravensfire]

Across beer, wine and whiskey, it's probably the equivalent of 15-20 drinks per week. I tend to have a beer or glass of wine when I get home then shift to whiskey once everything is done and I can relax. Most of my pours are at or under an ounce though - I'm still in a sampling mode (not to mention with ADD I love variety! OOOOOHHHH! Shiny!)

I think we are on the same schedule. Get home from work and have a glass of port or wine while I read the local daily news paper, then before bed have about 1 to 1.5oz of bourbon to settle in.

[Flyfish]

Not nearly enough.

[weller_tex]

2-5 oz. 3 nights a week. If I am on travel for work for long stretches of time..let's just say it goes up

[theglobalguy]

Estimate 1-2 bottles on avg/month. Heavily weather dependent as the heat kills my thirst. I figure 4 years or so in reserve.

[Special Reserve]

Last year I went through <6 bottles of bourbon. I have about 10 opened at one time. About half of these have been opened for 2-3 year now.

[393foureyedfox]

Do you have any doctor friends who practice in southwest Michigan?

[squire]

Of course it doesn't count when they're drinking my booze.

[Paddy]

I honestly don't wanna know... :bigeyes:

I probably am in the 2 to 3 bottles a month range(closer to three). Currently about 45 open. This varies upward depending upon the number of friends that stop by or samples handed out. Projected to run out in 18.5 to 28 years.

maybe 1 to 1/2 per month. Not counting what is consumed on travel time for work. I have about 6-7 open bottles at the moment & one 18yr single malt currently.

I like the fact that you don't count the travel time for work...I agree that should not be counted..)
