Rob's House Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 That's my question. If that's the daily amount that's a LOT. My routine was Thurs (sometimes) Fri and Sat (every week) Sun (sometimes). And it would be 6-8 drinks per day usually wine or beer. That became too much so I've been dry for about a year (ok ok so I fell off the wagon that day in Sept and lost the car keys...geez). That sounds a lot like my routine, but I don't always stop at 8, I put whiskey in the rotation, and I try not to work Thu and Sun into the same week. Rule of thumb: Don't drink more than 2 days in a row, and if you do, take the next 2 days off. If you break those rules you're going to have a bad time.

flomoe Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It's rained here everyday for the last 3 months so the FAIRY deck is SRO today. 😄 Bring back the drought! San Fran I'm guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullim4 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I don't have a hard-and-fast rule. If I feel like drinking a beer or a glass of wine, I'll do it. I will rarely drink more than 2 beers in a sitting, usually just one. My liquor of choice tends to be rum... again I won't usually drink more than two. I'd say I would average about 2-3 days per week where I have a drink. Beer festivals are where things get interesting. We go to about 3 or 4 of those per year but with the oddly sized sample glass and wide variety of ABVs, it's hard to know how much alcohol you consume at them. My wife and I were with friends down in New Orleans this year for Mardi Gras. I got enough drinking out of that trip to last me quite some time... haven't had a drink since. When I drink too much, I will wake up in a sweat with my heart racing... it's an unpleasant enough feeling for me that I don't like to do it unless it's for a specific occasion.

flomoe Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Sorry KD, the opportunity was there. Thought it was funny. No rules/restrictions here. Usually beer and/or bourbon or scotch on weekends. Wife likes wine so usually a bottle or two between us a couple nights a week with dinner. We just generally have fun no matter what, alcohol or water, we have a good time.

RaoulDuke79 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I see a lot of wine drinkers here. I'm pushing 40 and I can probably count the number of times I drank an entire glass of wine on 2 hands(not counting Boons farm or mad dog 20/20 in my younger days). Is that even wine? Maybe I need to step it up and get refined. Edited March 11, 2017 by RaoulDuke79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Had a Molson Brador yesterday; Friday afternoon has become my gaming day since that is when my coworkers have off same time as me. I have no desire to drink a lot but it is a change of pace from my usual ice tea or diet soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Friday, Saturday for me. Will start with a few nice local beers then move to either straight whiskey on the rocks or vodka/soda/lime when it's hot out. I'm pretty good holding to my Friday, Saturday only rule but will stray from time to time. Last season with the Sharks in the playoffs I needed a little help to mellow me out during weekday games.

You sound like yet another person who couldn't control himself enough to drink socially -- i.e., anyone who drinks is a drunk. Glad you're happy and healthy but your path isn't the only one.

4BillsintheBurgh Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Let me guess. Wine? I have a rippin hangover from drinking white wine last night. Red doesn't do it to me. That's a rule to live by. If you get a hangover drinking a particular brand or type, find something similar that will not give you a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
