Tony Santana Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingstein Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 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.

Yeti Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBadley Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 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 ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suntour Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 4-8 oz. per night. Hey, I'm a bartender after all. Its my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar Dan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I probably go though a bottle equivalent (I drink a variety of bourbons) in a typical week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensfire Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 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!)-- Ravensfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

theglobalguy Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Estimate 1-2 bottles on avg/month. Heavily weather dependent as the heat kills my thirst. I figure 4 years or so in reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docbible Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) 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.

redhouse1969 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
