Well, this poll is the result of curiosity spawned after a night of extremely heavy drinking on my part yesterday. While I don't drink all that often, I've drank enough where I can hold my alcohol fine, but yesterday passed my limit by far; I think my liver is broken, and this hangover has me feeling pretty woozy.
But enough about me. More or less, all of us are relatively young; college age, some still in high school, and some living on their own. But all of us are of an age where drinking is a pretty accepted pastime. So, I pose the question, how often do you drink?
-
Kind of hard to answer for me. I voted every few days or so (like 5 days average I guess..) cause sometimes I drink only once a weekend, and other times go through the week randomly drinking.
-
I usually drink once a week or so if I can afford it. I don't mean going to some club or bar every weekend though, just drinking with friends or at home.
-
I hate having no money on Friday.. Friday is like the day I have to drink.. A buddy might drink me up or something but not always and I'm stuck playing xbox or getting baked at least.
Changed vote to every week or so, cause after thinkin about it mostly I just drink Friday and Saturday. Just on occasion during the week.
-
Not too often anymore, maybe once a month.
-
once per week usually, sometimes i do it more but then its usually not the im going to get wasted kind of drunk
-
Almost every day I have a drink. Thursday was the bar, friday played rock band and had some beers with friends, and yesterday watched American Gangster and had some Rye and 7ups. It's not like I make a point of drinking every day. It just seems to happen.
Friend calls you up and says, "Hey lets go to the bar," or "I'm bringing over a case of beer and rock band."
-
im drunk right now fuck off
-
once every second week i'd say
-
Not too often anymore, maybe once a month.
thats about right for me too. once in awhile.
-
weekend warrior
-
every weekend WITHOUT FAIL
-
mainly on special occasions like oktoberfest etc, at parties if it doesn't suck, and other times just to experience different beers/drinks.
-
I drink on rare occasions, but when I do drink, I tend to get drunk, and try to stay there as long as I can, without going on a bender. (Stay drunk, not at the place I'm drinking)
I just wish I could drink more often than I do, but again, I'm underage for 7 more months...
-
if im at my friends on the weekend we may have 1 or 2 casual drinks if that, but i dont count it cause its not even a buzz worthy drinking.... once every 2-3 months i go drinking and have a blast
edit: Brad's back? WTF?
-
once every second week i'd say
WHAT!, This is shit for you!
I personally drink every weekend and go out without fail, quite often I go out twice a week.
-
I enjoy the pub, or just having a few with my mates in the comfort of my/their home.
I'd say every few days. Also, I tend to overdo it a bit when I do drink.
Probably quite bad for me.
-
Atelast once every week, and always to get drunk.
-
I used to drink at least once a week when I was under 21, but now I don't see how I ever liked it. Alcohol tastes nasty, you can easily get sick, you have horrible coordination, if you drink too much its no longer fun, you get hangovers, and it always makes me incredibly sleepy, incredibly fast. I actually take it to help me fall asleep nowadays, just doesn't seem as fun as it was when I was doing it illegally with friends.
-
Welp, apparently I'm an alcoholic cuz I tend to have a drink everyday. However, this is mostly a social thing, such as going for a beer after class. I only drink to get drunkernated on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
-
I've actually never tried alcohol, so... yeah. =/
-
Voted every week, because that's generally true.
However i've quit for a little, decided i should only drink when an events dictates i should be bollocksed.
-
It's been 8 months since I don't drink. I rarely have a cup of wine with food, but that's it.
-
i can't stand most alcohol, beer of any kind disgusts me and anything i've liked is either expensive (this cinnamon vodka that was awesome) a heavy liquor (tequila, margaritas specifically), and i've only drank a couple times, with my parents too
i don't get kids my age who go and binge drink every weekend, its totally stupid
-
i do not drink at all ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
okay I believe you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
in fact in all seriousness i have never drunk anything ever.
-
I try to once every year.
-
I drink every now and then. 3-4 days. The funniest thing is that I don't get drunk.
In fact, my face gets red. That's about it.
That's why I don't drink with lightweights...
-
If you mean any alcohol at all, then my answer is once a week. If you mean drink as in more or less get drunk, then I say once or twice a month.
-
I don't drink.
-
My drinking periods are too erratic to properly give an answer, as they can change at a minutes notice.
-
WHAT!, This is shit for you!
it's because of the damned university!!
-
I guess I'm currently recovering from being an alcoholic. I've been building up my
habit for the past four years, with random events leading to a drastic increase in
use. It somehow led up to me offing half a bottle of wiskey a day.
I decided i couldn't live like that any longer, especially seen my age, so I've
been recovering for the pas few months. I started sports again, making it
so I can't drink, and I only drink on weekends and when rehearsing with
the band now.
-
I generally have at least a beer or a glass of wine or something each day.
-
I rarely do. I'd like to drink more, but it tends to get expensive.
-
it's because of the damned university!!
University is supposed to be a four year long bender.
-
I drink pretty rarely, also arent you like 14?
-

Who's 14?
-
I used to drink on a weekendly basis before I turned 21. I've been 21 for about 3 months now and it's freakin awesome. I'm drinking right now. And since then I've probably gotten to the point of feeling it virtually every night. Beer and whiskey rule.
-
When I drink I do it with the intention of getting totally shitfaced. But only when the mood strikes. And the mood only happens to strike once every few months, i'm not much of a social drinker.
-
Nah, don't drink I'm afraid. Can't really find a reason to do so and for some odd reason, I find that my nose is really sensitive around alcohol...might be something within me calling me towards the drink...no, but I've gone so far (without drinking) amidst people who drink so why stop now? Yes...to have fun would be an answer but I do usually take the sober/take-care-of-the-others role when my friends and I go out. Besides, it's hilarious when you can remember stupid things your friends did and all they can say is, "huh?".
-
I have a casual drink every now and then, but I'm rarely drunk. I don't like to drink constantly because it's expensive and pretty shitty for your body! So yeah, pretty rarely.
-
Same as GB pretty much. I don't really ever get SHITFACED but I just have a couple every fortnight or so. I'm a ridiculously expensive drunk anyway ;(
-
I never drink. I'm a teetotaler... So I don't even drink socially or drink like one beer a year. I drink 0 alcohol per year.
Wow, UPRC voted "Rarely" and that is a lie!
-
Nope, never! I don't really like the taste from the little I've ever had, which is tantamount to none, and I don't really see the reason behind doing it anyway.
-
Basically whenever I can. I had a bottle of whiskey and just drank like 6 days out of that week, but usually I don't have alcohol so it is pretty sporadic. I guess that is a pretty bad way to approach alcohol, but whatever!
-
Mostly whenever I drink it's to get drunk because I find it fun, that and I don't particularly like the taste of alcohol so i feel there isn't much point except for getting tipsy or drunk or whatever.
I only ever drink with friends, and usually only for birthdays and things.
before school finished like once every 3 months or something, now that im just working every now and then probably like once a fortnight or longer XD, was different this week though because I had 3 18th birthdays and went clubbing last weekend, and had a 21st this weekend, so i drank a fair bit.
I don't like drinking too often though, I know it's really bad for you :x
-
I got pretty fucked up* last week, so I'm abstaining from drinking for some time.
*Alcohol Poisoning Drunk:
16 Triple Shots of Ciroc Vodka (48 shots total; pretty much 3/4ths the bottle)
A whole bottle of MD 20/20
6 glasses of Gewurtztraminer (best white wine on the planet)
4 Guinness Longnecks
-
My drinking habits are pretty erratic. Before I started living on my own I drank perhaps five to ten times a year, y'know, at parties and stuff, and usually just a beer or two (but I got drunk really fast).
Then I went to university and the introduction week was practically made out of beer. I even had to miss an entire day after a cantus the night before (for the unenlightened: beer, song, and more beer). Since then, I've gained some weight and I can stand alcohol a little better (i.e. I can actually stand).
After I moved out it dawned on me that I could basically do whatever I liked, including drinking. I'm not that good at making friends, so a lot of evenings I was just sitting in my room getting drunk. I sobered up after I failed maths pretty badly (lectures of which took place early in the morning and I almost always had a headache).
I made some more friends after that so now I'm back to only drinking at parties. It's picking up a little because I have this amazingly sweet girlfriend to go out with as of recently, but she won't let me get drunk (which I really appreciate).
So now it's at once every other week/once a month I guess.
-
I go out every weekend, pretty much, either Saturday or Friday night.
I like to have a beer when I get home from work or college, it helps me relax, although not every day due to me wanting to keep fit and expenses.
My sister is a complete pisshead though, she goes through like 2 bottles of wine a night.
-
I don't really drink as much as I used to. Maybe once or twice per month.
-
I used to drink a lot and then I got put into hospital and was given the whole IF YOU DRINK YOU DIE speech although it's probably not that bad so now I only drink once or twice a week and never heavily.
-
The clockwork kaworu takes another gulp of wine.
-
Out of his goblet.
-
I drink somewhere between once a week and rarely/on occasion.
-
I'd like to change my answer.
Now that I have my car back, and my friends are 21, I drink about 3 days a week. Monday - > Wednesday. I've been living the High Life, and playing Rock Band Vocals completely smashed. It's awesome.
-
every chance i get! never while alone, though.
-
I never drink. The taste of alcohol doesn't appeal to me and the thought of losing my inhibition and control over my faculties isn't very appealing either. I might have a glass of wine or champagne once in a blue moon but besides those rare occasions I don't drink.
-
A cup of wine per day.
-
Fine Scotch, Whiskey and varying beers have become my buddies. Never thought I'd see the day, but I did. The stories...
-
during this spring break i am 100% certain some sort of alcoholic anything has entered my mouth and mildly destroyed my liver. combined with perkocets its win-win and a lose-lose for my liver.
-

Well at least it's champagne or something. Champagne is pretty tasty.
-
I used to drink a pint of Guinness daily, you know, for STRENGTH. I also enjoyed the occasional bottle of Newcastle. But since I've been married, I don't drink at all.
-
I drink a few times a week.
I get drunk about once a fortnight.
I get shitfaced drunk about once every two months.
I nearly die of alcohol poisoning once a year.
-
I'm nineteen and I've never drank -- nor felt the desire to -- in my life yet.
One time a friend of mine thought it would be funny to try to get me to drink alcohol. She mixed vodka in some coffee and offered it to me. I took a sip, but before I could swallow it I noticed something was up and spat it on her face and proceeded to pummel her in the abdomen. Needless to say, we aren't friends anymore.
-
I usually have at least one drink a day, usually with dinner. But, I very rarely get drunk.
-
rarely.. I only drink on deaths and birthdays..
Also one time illegally at school
-
i used to drink like a champion, just very little now
-
i only drink when shit gets really bad
like when people decide I'm not allowed to have a toaster because it is a "fire hazard"
-
rarely.. I only drink on deaths and birthdays..
Also one time illegally at school
deaths or funerals?
-
my drinking habits are completely random, but it averages out to between three and five times a week.
-
deaths or funerals?
Deaths, usually it's his drunkenness which causes them!
-
I used to be fairly adept at holding my liquor, starting at age 14. It lost some of its luster once I turned 21 and the "thrill" went out of it, although I did pick it back up for a while around my 23rd birthday.
I quit drinking and haven't had alcohol in over fifteen months. Most people assume I was an alcoholic or something because I made a choice to stop - I just wasn't getting anything out of it that was worth what I had to put into it anymore.
Go spend X dollars to buy a bottle that I'll kill in a night, feel happy and stupid for a few hours - go to sleep, wake up with a headache (if I forgot to drink a gallon of water before bed)....the cost(monetary & physical)/benefit analysis just came out severely lacking for me.
Of course since I also don't smoke or partake of recreational drugs people tend to label me as straight-edge. My band mates love it though, since they get my drink tickets at our shows.
-
Not so much recently because I've been trapped in the middle of the yellow sea for the past 2 goddamn months but as soon as I get home (which will be pretty soon) I plan on staying steadily intoxicated for the next few months.
-
I am usually broke and can't afford to buy liquor. The only times I usually drink because of that are on weekends, usually Fridays with friends. If I find myself with a bottle of wine though sometimes break this pattern so it doesn't go bad. Yep, nothing like re-opening a bottle of cabernet that has been in your armoire only to find out it's turned into vinegar. :blarg:
-
i drink sparsly, and when i do i don't drink much. I don't really like the taste of alcohol so i'd rather have a softdrink.
-
I rarely do. I'd like to drink more, but it tends to get expensive.
It's become like this for me without the 'rarely'. Everyone wants to go bars nowadays so I'm paying 2-3 times as much for alcohol as I should be, and when you're studying I can't work as much as I could when I was studying less (obviously). It seems like a lot of my money goes into alcohol.
I usually buy a six pack once a fortnight and have a beer at home every now and then and go out once every two weeks or so, which works for me.
Do people tend to drink a lot more on holidays? I know that seems like a pretty obvious question, but I'm just wondering. Do people drink more at parties or bars/clubs?
my drinking habits are completely random, but it averages out to between three and five times a week.
And like, what, a year ago you weren't drinking at all? That's a pretty awesome turnaround.

That is funny as haha. I have a beer or two like every few months, I used to drink hard though, but I don't really see any point in getting drunk, plus I replaced drinking with Weed, and now have replaced weed with smoking.. yeah it's an awesome cycle.
-
i drink sometimes! and sometimes i drink a lot! DEAL WITH IT.
-
I drink every Friday but It's usually no more than 2 or 3 beers with friends. On occasion (3 or 4 months) I drink and get pretty drunk but not pissed out of skull drunk. But once a year I get absolutely pissed which is usually just Hogmany!
-
I'd say I was drunk probably 14 or 15 days out of the past three weeks. Fuck yeah for you puking in the school bathroom! :fogetsad:
-
I retract my vote man.. I'm fucking drunk right now.
Almost everyday after work I need something to drink to forget all the HORRIBLE SHIT that happened in the past nine or ten hours.
-
Since my body started telling me I was Prego (and not the sauce) I haven't been drinking, but I was drinking a lot for a long time before that, usually once a week and very heavily.
-
your eggo is preggo? ~juno
-
About a year ago I decided that I didn't like alcoholic beverages and stopped drinking. Haven't had anything alcohol-related since then.
-
Never. sXe for life.
-
i drink with my crew on friday nights in the school yard sometimes the cops come and they take are beer and tell us to go home tho i like bud lite and bacardi rum
-
I often drink red wine with supper. pretty much at every day(lol im sooo french) . I never get "wasted" though, I think its retarded.
-
d00d!ur avatar is awesome did u aminate it urself?
-

Hahaha! Drinking on private property after dark and being underage probably isn't the best idea. Plus, Bacardi and Bud Lite...ugh. Well at least you're not drinking Mad Dog 20/20 or the likes. Just try to be responsible, no lectures that's all. =D
Hibiki/UPRC: I hear ya', sadly I do.
-
i don't drink at all, because i never developed a taste for it, and as a result the large majority of alcohol tastes completely disgusting to me, especially harder shit and red wine. the only stuff that tastes okay is shit that's too humiliatingly feminine to order or buy (re: bay breeze, wine coolers, etc), and besides that booze is pretty expensive anyway, so i just don't bother.
i can drink beer, though. i usually don't, but i like it fine, and it tends to be what i get if i'm in a situation where i feel like i should drink something other than water, like a bar or whatever.
-

Hahha that's awesome.
BT - I know a few mates like that. They just don't see the point of drinking something that tastes bad. It's got to the stage with me that I actually enjoy the flavour of beer and can appreciate different beers blah blah, much like the stuff wine drinkers go on about. But fair enough - for the first couple years (granted I was pretty young, 13-14) I hardly drank because it either tasted bitter, sickly or like petrol.
-
If forget who it was, mabe Terin, but someone said a few years ago they couldn't drink because they were allergic to alcohol or something and it made the lining of their stomach peel.
But yea, gettin drunk is pretty sweet, but I don't like hard alcohol that much.
-

Pretty much exactly this, only very rarely do I drink beer. I do kind of like Smirnoff Ice; it's pretty fruity but it's not really that gay.
People ask me why I don't drink, like there is some secret reason or something, but the answer is really just "I hate the taste". Plus a night of drinking at a bar can cost like $80 (or more) so fuck that shit, I'd rather have the money.

yeah, i can drink smirnoff ice and it's okay, and the same goes for shit like mike's hard lemonade, and whatever other drinks that are sort of like wine coolers but not quite. still, that's STRADDLING THE FENCE at best when it comes to things i'd be caught holding in a checkout line, and when the only reason i'm drinking it is because it tastes sort of like things that are cheaper/less embarrassing, only not as good, i don't really see the point in not just buying regular lemonade or something.
-
i miss alcohol........so much.........
-
Although i never drink when i am alone, i usually drink a bit on Saturday's if i go out with my friends
-
I pretty much drink and smoke weed everyday.
Although to be fair I only drink to help curb my social anxiety and as such I only drink if I'm with people and I rarely get drunk enough to, say, pass out or throw up.
-
Like 3 times a week. Probably daily when I'm on Uni campus with my gf.
