How old are you, what do you drink and how often do you drink? Be honest.

I'm 21 years old. I used to only ever drink once a week (sometimes every two weeks) but since the coronavirus lockdown, I've been drinking 3-4 times a week. I drink Bushmills whiskey and Budweiser beer.

33. I drink mainly just Miller Lite sitting around the house, 10+ a day when working, more during corona. When I'm out, I drink mimosas, nicer beers, gin and tonic, jagermeister, and other shots as the group is going.

I drink daily. Yes, yes, I know I'm an alcoholic and this won't last. Whatever.

27, mainly beer (usually craft) or the occasional whiskey or gin and tonic. I drink most days of the week, but only get drunk once every few months. I had a terrible habit of binge drinking in my early 20s, but have since turned that habit into more of a hobby.

41,female. I drink wine and mead (homebrewed for some of it). When I was super overweight I couldn't drink much without feeling like shit so I didn't for a few years. After losing 85 lbs it doesn't cause me to feel like crap while drinking.

I now have a glass or maybe two a week on average. I have two jobs and lots of hobbies so I'm usually too busy to drink. Since it messes with my concentration I really don't drink much at all anymore.

[Anonymous No.14236882]

I turn 34 next week.

I never drink at home, but I go out to the bar 1-3 times a week.

Depending on what bar I'm at and whatever special is going on, I'll stick with a cheap beer and shot of whiskey, gin and tonic, whiskey coke, or a local microbrew.

I usually drink til I can't stand up. Last night I think I had 8 double whiskey cokes, then ended up at another bar and had 2 Millers and 2 shots of whiskey.

Usually forget most of the night. Go on bizarre rants to my girlfriend. Smoke til my chest hurts.

I don't consider myself an alcoholic, but I'm definitely a binge drinker. The hangovers are starting to really take a toll on me. I was just furloughed too, so I need to start saving money.

But fuck me, it's a lot of fun going out and getting obliterated.

20. Calvados and tons of cocktails. My issue is that I can go months without drinking, I did for the longest time. However, during weeks where I'm overwhelmed between college and work, I'll go for one day when I overdrink, and then I have to slowly build down from there. I'm in one of those build downs right now.

25. I'm struggling to keep myself to 3 litres of 40%/80 proof a week and it often topples over. This was before the lockdown too. I'm on a horrible slippery slope - I've shown strong willpower before, I have stopped myself from drinking several days in a row and have fully quit (illegal) drug use - I'm just hoping I can start a career before I end up on the streets somewhere.
My loves are animals, food, and technology, so I'm hoping Zoology, maybe a culinary school leading into work (have worked in the industry before and know how to cook from life experience but I'm struggling to get into a real restaurant), or I'd otherwise be happy just working in an office or admin for the comfort of it.
Easier said than done of course.

29. I drink beer, spirits and cocktails (very booze forward ones). I tend to stay dry most of the week but then drink for a long period of time on the weekends while also smoking. Mostly drink traditional British style ales, bitters and stouts, but I'll also have Belgian trappist and sours and German wheatbeer as well. Booze wise I tend towards various scotches with a bit of bourbon and rye (but I usually use them for cocktails) as well as gin both neat and for cocktails.

I'm 26. Left to my own devices I'd drink one per day. But generally I forgo that and drink 12 with some mates on a Friday night.

At home I have Benromach/Benriach peated and Glenfarcles 12. Generally this serves as a cache to bring to a mates place so I can buy on sale exclusively, but I've been dipping into my stocks during the quarantine.

Last night I went to said mates place and had Glenfiddich 15 cask strength, Henessy master blenders no 3, plantation overproof, blantons, jura 10, talisker distillers/dark storm/port ruighe, redbreast 12, connemara cask strength, gin lane rhubarb, aberlour abunadh, clynleish 14 and ailsa bay.

Should that friend be occupied I go to a bar and drink a couple of beers, the house red and white, a rum and coke, and a whisky and dry. Depending on company we follow that up with a trip to a whisky bar where we share half pours and try 20-30 new drams or we go to clubs and have a bad time not dancing and getting ignored by girls.

It's all pretty routine by this point.

32, I was drinking about about 1-2 pints of hard liquor a day during lockDown and before that it was pretty bad too. I've gone to AA, done cold turkey, and even went to live on a farm where there was no store for miles to buy booze and had the house lockup the liquor cabinets but I still relapsed as soon as I got back the city.

I don't like the word "alcoholic" because AA treats it like I'm some powerless sinner about it and that shit does not work for me. I did recently find an online doctor on Monument to just prescribe me some naltrexone and it's worked like a charm. Only been a few days but as soon as I took it I lost pretty much all desire to drink day one. It's kind of a miracle. If I do have a beer or something I don't just immediately want to pound 6 more and my doc told me I can drink whatever I want on the meds. I have a half empty can of pic related just staring at me that I couldn't finish last night.

23, drink rarely, like once a few months ill have a glass of wine or some beers or whatever. Last few weeks i kicked up my drinking a bit. On average maybe 2-4 beers a week i think.

Favorite beer: weihenstephaner hefeweissbier. Looking to find some others that i might like. Been checking out stouts recently, but im generally unimpressed. Guiness draught was pretty flavorless. Warka strong (not sure if it was a stout, but was dark and coffee flavored) was good. Any recs? People told me to try founders but no sources nearby.

My girlfriend says she’s going to leave me if I don’t stop drinking, and frankly I don’t really respect her problem with it. Like honestly, to me, so what? What’s the problem? The only problem is that she yells and gets angry. I mean I think I’ve found the psychology to give it up today, but honestly the notion that I’m supposed to sit there sober all day is a bit nonsense.
Like, I get it, it’s unhealthy and no way to be a parent and whatever, but we don’t have kids yet, and I manage to work to pay for the entire apartment, cook every day, clean, we go out, have vacations, and everything, she just goes apeshit when I go to drink. I don’t know what to say, at this point I have evaluated how I use it to quit life and distract myself from the constant anxiety of looking at the clock tick away your precious seconds of life, the rest of it sold to some business, and I could probably do without drinking at this point. At the same time, I really don’t want to talk to her about it and do take it as basically banning a source of enjoyment for my entire life based on, honestly what seems like vague conditioning to avoid alcoholism rather than any specific problem I’ve caused

It's more that for people with poor impulse control, keeping drugs/drink as a strictly social activity serves as a good barrier for abuse. Sure there are people who abuse these things socially every weekend, but it's a lot easier to fall into the addiction trap if you're happy drinking alone, it can be a real test even for those who thought they had good impulse control.

I enjoy drinking alone too, but somebody asked the reason for the rule and there it is. It's a bad idea to rely on a substance for any occasion, even social ones, but it's better to limit it to occasions that occur less frequently than existing in your home, so it's definitely a helpful social pressure to have.

it wasn't as bad when i was 20-24 when i would go through a handle (1.75L) of plastic bottled vodka every few days and if i stopped i would get delirium tremens. rarely had beer or anything but hard liquor. at the time i was high functioning, drinking 350-450mL in a day (sometimes twice) and wake up completely fine the next morning with no hangover or late dry heaving. sometimes of course sometimes i would drink > pass out > wake up > drink for days. my liquor tolerance is abysmal compared to when i was younger.

of course it's a legit book but the content in it is mostly garbage in regards to your average drinker.

if you ever go through the DUI process (which can happen to anyone who isn't a teetotaling faggot) here's what to expect:
1) "you should feel bad about yourself forever" because you could have killed some nigger family in their oldsmobile and spent the rest of your existence in prison
2) the state will do whatever the fuck they can to extract as much money from you so expect to pay on average about 2 thousand dollars per beer that you drank on all sorts of shit including a lawyer, court fees, MADD attendance, Counseling/therapy, breathalyzer/interlock, SR-22, house arrest, drug tests, and transportation to all of these things because you wont have a car.
3) those books and all of the programs are designed to treat you like an 8 year old and say dumb stuff like "if you drink more than 2 beers a day or 6 beers a week you are an alcoholic." They are books directed at people who literally can't stop drinking a pint of vodka a day so all of the 'advice' is overblown and garbage.

that being said I'm 33 and i go through periods of heavy drinking and dry spells, sticking primarily to shitty macro beer and occasionally shitty wine. I haven't drank in a bout a week but when I do i usually crush a 12 pack of yuengling and repeat 3-4 days later

yes, you have to have drunk enough to have a certain blood level alcohol, yes you have to get caught - but all sorts of people make mistakes and theyre are subjected to the harsh penalties designed to be severely punitive. what might have been considered as a deterrent really is a fucking hole some folk have a hard time getting out of

Since the shut downs I've dropped the urge to go to bars and prefer to drink at home.

Turning 30 this year, started drinking at 16, had a borderline alcoholic, now I drink twice a week and get drunk maybe 3 times a month.

My go to is Jameson. I rarely drink alone, but when I do it's usually one or two glasses without ice. I swig bottles with friends, or shots if we don't trust each other's hygiene. Even at parties, I go for whiskey shots.

Beer, definitely Beck's, I tried budlight in America and it was really good and went down too nice that it scared me thinking I could drink it like a coke or juice, so gonna stick with Beck's.

Wine, merlot, I don't care if it makes me look like a fag, it's the only one i can tolerate and you are fag just for drinking wine so fuck it.

As an arab I have to like arak, but it's only really good on a hot day with a bbq.

Vodka, if it's properly distilled I can go for shot or with a chaser usually lime, mixed maybe redbull.

Fuck craft beer, I never bought a 6 pack and enjoyed the same beer after 2 bottles, expensive scotch is expensive and the rest is trash (maybe a few cocktails and jager).

22. I usually go through a bottle of liquor or wine once a month. It's not spaced out responsibly through the month though, I buy it and then finish it in the span of 3 or 4 days and then get sick of drinking for the next month.

I like cheap wine and alcoholic seltzers. Nobody likes plain vodka, but Stoli is something that I can tolerate enough to drink straight. When I'm out, I'm all over gin and tonics. It's probably the only drink that I actually legitimately like the taste of. I recently got Four Roses bourbon and it's fucking horrible. Maybe I just don't like bourbon, but I'm halfway through the bottle and I might just pour the rest out or give it to a friend. Drinking it really just makes me want to vomit.

This. The amount of times that I hear someone say, "They aren't strict enough on DUIs!" is ridiculous. My dad got a DUI last July and he is STILL going to classes, doing therapy, using an interlock, etc. and he hasn't touched a drink since his DUI. Like I get that it's fucked up and there should be consequences for unacceptable behavior, but Christ, it's fucking nuts how much they drag you through the mud for something an astonishing amount of people have done and without even causing a collision.

By volume most intoxicated drivers with crashes involving death are illegal aliens with no license that smash the car and just fuck off after they get out of jail for the night. Thus, we need hyper strict laws for people who actually have a part in society and will actually answer for their crimes to make up for the fact that the majority of the issue is simply totally unaddressed (and unwilling to be addressed)

If your still here how does your liver feel? I'm the guy who had the inflamed pancreas and liver damage. If i drink i get various levels of discomfort coming from my liver area. It can range from a slight itching on my bottom right ribs to full on soreness and stabbing pains. I had quit the drink till lock down. Now I've been drinking a moderate (4 to 8 units) amount every 2 to 3 days and the pains are getting more frequent. Going to try quit once work starts up again. It really pisses me off because i haven't drank heavily for a year and yet I'm still having problems. I guess i need to stop for good or at least a few years.

I don't have a definite taste yet because I'm quite young - 21 years old to be precise. I like wheatbeers like Weihenstephaner's, Paulaner's and Benediktiner Weissbier. I also like dark Belgian ales like Rochefort 8 and St. Bernardus' Abt 12. I also liked brews like La Trappe tripel. Lately I've been trying out various local beers and a brewery called Flying Monkey caught my eye. They make a nice triple IPA (I don't know if that's an actual term or just a marketing thing) and I bought a "barrel aged Russian Imperial stout" from their online store. Should arrive tomorrow. I drink on weekends or when I feel like it. Usually once or twice a week. I only drink a bottle or two because I'm a lightweight.
