Alcohol … how’s your relationship with it ?

[Kurt.]

Probably been a thread on this before but I can’t be arsed looking.
Personally I enjoy a few beers, probably more than I should to be honest. My shift pattern is great in that I work 4 days on 8 days off. I never drink the night before work but enjoy a few tins at home on my first day off. I like to go out on a Friday (if not working) and have a few beers with friends but at home I do like a couple of beers most nights … never to excess but occasionally have more than 2 or 3. I’d say I’ll have a beer on 4 or 5 of my nights at home. Statistics will say that this is too much I suppose but it is what it is. I’m saying this, I can take it or leave it… doesn’t bother me at all if I go a few weeks without a beer. Just curious to know where others stand (or fall down) on this.

I drink six nights a week because I'm an exciting and glamorous person.

By long habit I don't drink Tuesday nights. Tonight for example. This hasn't made me any less exciting or glamorous. Oh no.

Typically drink 2 or 3 nights a week, rarely Mon Tues or Weds unless I’m traveling. Usually 1-2 beers although I like the heavy stuff. Nothing very exciting but also entirely manageable.

I never been drunk yet and I'm 63!, never been a drinker, I have an occasional half a bitter shandy or Archers and Lemonade and at Xmas I push the boat out and have 4 bottles of Snowball

My drinking decreased as I got older. Used to drink every weekend in high school now I rarely drink. I never drink alone and tend to only have a drink or two at social occasions.

I've tried to not get in a loop with drinking as I've had family members really struggle with it

Never mind the booze, what I'd like to know is what job offers twice as much time off as in work?

I'll drink socially. Dad used to come in from work and drink 8 cans and fall asleep. It nearly killed him.
I don't drink in the house unless I'm sharing wine with the wife.
Right now I drink after footy every weekend and it's 3 pints of Guinness.
Beside the not wanting to get blitzed or hungover just the sheer calories put me off tbh.

I drink Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays. Normally 2 pints and a whisky or 2, but much lighter on a Sunday. Some days the beer is replaced by a bottle of red wine - especially if pizza is involved. I drink slowly and never to get drunk - I love the flavours. If friends are involved there might be an evening of 4 pints.

When I was teaching Friday nights were far heavier affairs and it wasn't just about the flavour.

Hi my names John and am an alcoholic.

I don't drink that much, never drink in the house, but I quite like a couple of beers if we go out for a meal.

Will usually have 1 or 2 at the match. I dread it when I end up going out with mates and I know it will be a heavy one, the hangover is a killer.
