Ok, with it being a new year (and the UK Government always telling us how we all drink too much!) I thought I’d start a thread to ask how much everyone drinks.

I’m cutting down a bit, although I wouldn’t consider myself a heavy drinker. As a student i drank a lot at university but now i normally drink 1 or 2 half bottles most weeknights and then have 4 pints on a Friday and Saturday.

However, I’ve decided to cut out those ‘odd’ bottles of midweek beer and reduce it down to 8 pints over the weekend and a couple of jars down the pub on a Wednesday.

Anyone else trying to keep tabs on how much they drink and how many unit’s a week they consume?

Drink about 8 oints a week, as free time is whenever i have it.

Occasionally go the swan in town for a few but aint done that in a while.

how much do i drink? dunno really. i don't touch a drop on a monday, limit myself to 2 glasses of red on tue/wed, then thu/fri/sat it's whatever i fancy at the time. might be 3 or 4 beers, might be a proper blow out. sunday varies, usually a few beers

i probably booze too much but i'm not bothered. the whole 14 units for women/21 for blokes was plucked out of thin air by doctors & politicians years ago (they've admitted as much) so borrocks to it. i'd rather die happy at 70 than bored sh*tless and full of regrets at 80. and i'll have 2 quadruple whiskies and a pair of pints please barman

I get absolutely fucking annihilated on Saturday nights, every Saturday night without fail, (indeed Saturday just gone I don't recall how I got home) and don't touch a single drop for the rest of the week.

I know I've logged on here ratarsed on more than one occasion in the past, but that's how my social life has been for going on the last twelve months now. Just Saturdays for me. Although I do get stupidly messed up so I more than make up for not going out through the week...

It's both fair and true to say that I used to be a very heavy drinker a couple of years back. But who the fuck isn't when they're in their early twenties? I like going out...

None in the week unless im going the pub and a sh.itload at the weekend, friday and saturday nights ill be f.ucked

I tend not to drink over the weekends as I work. (Unless someone offers me one, in which case I'll have a pint.)

Midweek, it really depends what I'm doing. Atm I seem to be at the pub Mon-Weds, but I never have more than 2 pints. (Quite often I don't have any.)

Occasionally I'll go out with my best bud and we'll get completely tw*tted, but that's less than once a month as we both do the same job, and we need to look after our voices. (And a night on the lash does nothing but damage for your throat!)

So basically - zero up!

Made the mistake a few years ago of starting to drink Vodka/Coke out of a pint glass,I thought it would save me going backwards and forwards to the fridge, but in fact it just meant I made more trips to the supermarket. It dawned on me one day (when I ran out of vodka again) that I was getting through a litre bottle every 48hrs and I wasn't even getting p'issed ,just merry. In an attempt to preserve whats left of my liver since the new year I've cut my intake by half and I'm down to about 2 litres of vodka a week plus the odd beer here and there.

Yikes indeed JB, I'm hoping I can cut my intake even further . Trying to limit the booze to friday and saturdays only.

by **JamCar05** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 2:37 pm

I usually get pretty p****d once a week, which happens either friday or saturday (though lately I've gone a couple of weekends without really drinking). Other than that I limit myself to a couple of beers in midweek (tuesday and/or wednesday mostly) whenever I watch the mighty reds play or just the champions league in general is on.
