How much do you drink

I don't drink right now but before I would never say I had a drinking problem. I might have gotten drunk once every couple of weeks. When I say drunk... I mean out of control.

 

My GF and me split a 6 pack of cold tasty micro brew every few nights, 3 beers each or a couple of pints when we go to one of the local micro breweries.

I used to drink 4 or 5 beers a night when I was brewing beer every week but I haven’t brewed in a couple of years.

 

I have at least 2 shots of tequila a night and 1 cooler or beer. I don't like the feeling of being drunk. I stop myself when my stomach starts to grumble which means I'm gonna puke so I rarely ever get drunk.

I have a different addiction. Pills. Yes. I said it. Fuck.

 

i drink probably 4 or 5 days a week. i will have a beer sometimes but i prefer wine. no i dont think i have a problem. i had 2 kids and stopped drinking for the duration of my pregnancy and breastfeeding and i drank WAY more before that and i had no problem stopping, so i think i'm good to go. :cheers2:

 

the only time I feel like I have a problem is when I realize how fucking hard it is to fall asleep sober.

 

ahhh ... the problem with being sober. if there isn't a better reason to drink.

 

there are nights that I lay in my bed until 2am, get up and pour myself a large glass of wine, just so I can fall asleep - not even because I desire alcohol!

I've always been an insomniac though

 

Best cure for insomnia is to get plenty of sleep.

 

I only drink with friends or on special occasions, both of which don't come around too often. But when I do, I have a lot of fun.
It doesn't take much for me to get there. 3 or 4 at most. I wouldn't consider myself having a problem.

 

This is true, the first week after I decided to quit drinking, I had the worst insomnia. But now I have a hard time staying up past 9:30. I also decided to remove most caffeine out of my daily routine.

 

I quit drinking after taking 5 hits of acid .

 

mm. i almost never drink anything with caffeine except for the occasional cup of green or black tea.

 

Jesus, I'm flat out on my back after 7.

Congrats on the sobriety.. Willpower or rehab?

 

I've never been much of a drinker. I may pour myself a glass of red wine for dinner but then I end up sipping it all evening. Then occasionally I go out to the pub for a few pints or out for cocktails, I used to do that a lot more but now it's maybe.. twice a month or so. Can't remember the last time I was drunk.

 

I cycle. Sometimes I drink every single night. If we have beer here I will drink it until its gone and then get more from the store at midnight, drinking until I pass out. Yep that is a problem....but tends to happen when I am in the summer months. Never when I am depressed though..

then other times, I go weeks and weeks without having one drink at all.

Hot damn, I sound almost bipolar.

And currently, its more of a social thing. Last three times I have drink is only when someone is around.

I quit smoking cigs about a month ago and if I drink, I smoke. This is my way of ridding the smoking habit.

 

i drink beer every night, me and dave cook some dinner, hang out in the kitchen and talk, get the girls in bed and then have a beer in bed while watching the program of the day. tonight is supernatural. :cheers2:

it's a ritual for me, really. i noticed that really what i need is some sort of beverage in my hand. i do really well with tea if it's yummy. but i love beer. it makes me happy.

 

I hear ya....it makes me happy too lots and lots of it

 

yup.

 

well, you know. it's not interfering with my duties, my family life, my happiness, my relationships, my sleep, etc. but yeah, i'm addicted.

 

got a sister?
