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.

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.

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.
