Usually 1-3 pints of cider on a weekend in the pub, maybe one midweek with dinner.

In my youth I could caount the days on one hand where I was sober. When I turned 25 I decided it was enough. Lost a few friends and saw a couple go off the deep end. Didn't want that in my life anymore and since you can't change what the poeple around you do you have to change what you do by changing the people you have around you. And that's what I did. Moved out of the city and stopped going out. Worked like a dog for a few years I didn't sleep at all. It was tough but I really didn't want to live without ever knowing what life was really like.
So, to answer the OP's question, I drink about once every 3 or 4 years. Mostly during get togethers with the friends that I left behind to sober up. Sure I'll get drunk that one time but I won't do it again until the next meeting 3or 4 years later.

I'll have a glass of wine on special occasions, maybe an odd beer here and there (usually after I come home from hiking

). Also, if I'm around sick people, I may have a shot of schnapps; it helps prevent any potential sickness.

That's about it. Never was much of a drinker. Don't think I've ever been drunk, either.

I was drinking all the time when was 13-20, then at 21 stopped all of that, now only few times in year, and not to get drunk, just to make company to others

I drink 3-4 times a week, usually a 22oz of IPA, sometimes with some Jameson. I usually drink too much on Wednesdays for some reason. cest la vie

FINALLY!! welcome to the club brother!

"Hi, i'm Pogo and I'm a... well you know why i'm here."

so umm, between four to eight cans a night. Every night. But that's because I've stopped smoking cannabis and started another addiction and boy, is my waist line expanding.

next question?

but I'm gonna stop, honest. you just wait.

I had some new Goldwasser for my 40th in Feb. That was some smooth schluppage.

Few times a week. Really depends if it's one beer or 10 beers + vodka + whisky + wine.

I buy a bottle every 2 days, so i'm looking at up to 4 bottles during the week not including the bar. I'm slowly admitting to myself that yes... i have a problem

hey, you should see the six shopping bags full of beer cans in my kitchen. I recycle them (then find another six bags next week) on a regular basis but mostly I let them build up to remind me that i too have a problem.

anyhoo, let's get this back on a positive note. It's not an AA meeting.

Ahh thursday, I've hit that bottle of wine and I'm heading out to get smashed on cheap pre-weekend booze deals.

The clubs round here run a half price night each Thursday, the girls are half as hard to pull too.

I'm a drunk, but hey. I'm Canadian. Beer, Hockey and getting arrested is a tradition in my country. hehe.

Rum is my favorite liquor and i drink at least 2 half glasses (or 1 full glass) of dark Rum daily, without ice.

when i'm done, i make a couple of cocktails like Cuba Libre, Daiquiri, Pina Colada or my favorite the Mai-Tai, i use Captain Morgan White Rum.

once a week i drink a full bottle of Coconut Malibu (straight from the bottle).

Edit - i'm not a drunk, i rarely get drunk and i can go without alcohol for many month sticking to juices and milkshakes, i only drink to spice up my evenings.
