I am a hard but not excessively hard drinker

I love a good dark beer (Tooheys Old, white Rabbit Dark Ale, most porters), prefer red wine to white, and my spirit of choice is either scotch, vodka with lemon squash, or a gin and tonic.

I probably average a heavy drinking session every couple of months these days, generally at a major celebration, a debating tournament or a party at our house. For me, really heavy is a couple of bottles of wine, well over a dozen bottles of beer, or as much of a bottle of a spirit as doesn't get drunk by someone else (those nights are the messiest of all).

Lighter drinking happens whenever a social situation calls for it - trivia nights, afterwork drinks, Friday nights at the pub, watching the footy. Probably at least once a week.

Also, I down a bottle of red most Monday nights while watching Mediawatch and Q and A on the ABC.

I'm calling BS on 15 pints every wedding. You would die.

Nah, that's quite do-able in a long session.
 
at uni i would go out and get properly drunk once a twice a week, usually drink cider before going out proper, something like magners, bulmers, kopparberg or brothers, never strongbow then id be drinking spirits usually vodka and coke or jaegerbombs,
would have a few pints of cider when i watched football in the su bar

now im not a student its much less often like once or twice a month
 
I was going to include a time-frame Arwon. But I'm thinking of it like an average evening out, that would be extreme, lets say from 11 - 3. That would be..a bit much.
I've started drinking at like...2 in the afternoon and ended it at 2 in the morning and it's messy XD
 
If we count schizoprenia or however you spell it as 'not significant', I suppose...

I no longer drink, but I'll confess now that I used to write cheques that my liver really couldn't cash. You can't spell paralytic without para, after all!

...and I'm fairly sure I can't spell it anyway.

You can't spell paradise without para, either... Wait... I think I'm missing a point here.
 
@RR, You definitely fit the definition of a binge drinker.


My habit: I drink about 1-2 servings every couple of days, mostly red wine, though occasionally beer. Lately I've been very dry about a few months.

The whole wedding process can last for hours.

If an Irish wedding is anything like a Scottish wedding, then Quackers' 2pm-2am binge is quite likely closer to the mark. The Gaels are a people who take big family gatherings more than a wee bitty seriously. ;)
 
I have not yet tried a single alcoholic beverage in my life, which has nothing to do with illegality. I am 23 1/2 now, and had hard drinking roommates throughout college. I could have taken a beer at any time, and at age 20 had plenty of access to vodka and absinthe too.


I'm not opposed to having a few glasses of wine as part of a romantic evening with a significant other, but I don't see me drinking in any other context as very likely.

This was my thinking, yes.

I've never actually been to a wedding myself.
 
I will have usually 1 glass of wine with dinner, whether it's at home or out. If I am at a party, it will usually be somewhat more, maybe 2-4.

pretty much this, though it's usually 2 glasses (one with dinner, one afterwards while relaxing). usually red, I never really got into liking white wine.

when having a bbq with friends it tends to be a bit more up to a nice buzz.

last time I've been really drunk probably was my stag night 3 years ago.
 
Don't drink at all. Could never see the point.
 
I tend to not drink very often anymore, as I've been rather alcoholic like in my time. But when I do drink I tend to only drink hard liquor and even then only in very large quantities. I can put back half a gallon of Jack Daniels in a party night.

Have you ever been drunk?

Anyway, I don't drink that much. I'm drunk maybe once a month (I do enjoy a few shots occasionally without getting drunk). I have a large variety of hard liquors in my booze cabinet and while I drink all of them, I suppose mostly drink beer, vodka and absinthe.
 
That all depends on how many weddings he goes too:p

For the record, I don't drink, it would be illegal and I don't see a need (I have no moral problem with it aside from its legality, just don't see a need at present.)

i found it quite weird in america, im 22 so im getting asked for id less and less over here in the uk, but in america i got asked everywhere, its odd thinking something i've legally been doing for 4 years here i'd only have been able to do for 1 year in america, always seems a bit odd to me that some actual adults cant legally drink over there
 
Not a fan of beer, it makes me feel bloated. Never had wine, as far as I can remember. Happy to drink most spirits though.

I don't drink very often because I have no job and therefore no money, but even if I did drink more frequently it wouldn't be in excess. Only twice have I gotten legitimately drunk, and the most recent of those I threw up blood, so I try to avoid letting it get that bad these days.
 
These days I usually go all out on the weekend. Starting with dinner and beer at about eight or nine. Progressing to soju (20% spirit) in a pub, then more beer with a couple of 40% shots in the nightclub. Home at 5am on the first train. About 6 or seven beers, about 4 soju shots, and maybe a couple of harder spirit shots. This is spread over at least 6 hours so I'm usually not too pissed. Peaking in drunkeness after the soju. Wild stuff altogether.

During the week drinking is usually about 4 cans outside the convenience store.

Back home I almost only drank beer, on a "night out" I'd drink about 5 or six pints.

2am would be an early bedtime for a wedding.
 
Whenever the mood strikes me (but not for several months because of my living situation) I usually:
A) Go out to a bar get drunk with a set of friends I see drunk more than sober.
or
B) Stay inside, and get even drunker watching either MST or Star Trek TOS, or a really bad episode of TNG.
