Fine Scotch, Whiskey and varying beers have become my buddies. Never thought I'd see the day, but I did. The stories...

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.
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.

my drinking habits are completely random, but it averages out to between three and five times a week.

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?

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.
