how often do you drink/get drunk?

[HotAndWet]

I usually go out one to two times a week, but lately I've been going out more and thus getting wasted more, :(
Does this make me a "binge" drinker? Should I be on intervention now????

[Bob]

i hope not

[HotAndWet]

thanks, bob.

It used to be a weekly thing. Now it's something I very rarely ever do... The last time I ever had any alcohol to drink was early October and that was only a couple drinks.

Before that it had been MUCH longer. Enough to the point that after those couple drinks I was pretty well drunk. I'm sure it was sad and pretty pathetic to all those college kids I was hanging out with.

if you're blacking out more than once a week, that's kind of a red flag

[Bob]

i usually drink at least 2-3 times a week. it depends on the week. some weeks i'll have a few every day.

[Randetica]

like twice a year/never

[Elusive]

Sometimes I get drunk and its great,
other times you recollect your night before,
and your memories are embarrasing,
but sometimes also it seemed embarrasing and it wasn't really.

I think germans and mexicans make some great beer,
but I usually have to go for the miller because I am retired and on a fixed income

[mikizee]

Yeah I guess I drink a fair bit.

[Elusive]

I don't do the heavy stuff. only beer, you know, keep the downward spiral on cruise control.

[beastieangel01]

it varies. Sometimes once or twice a week. Sometimes zero.

In the 21-23 range I was going out to drink almost 4 or 5 times a week.

As long as it doesn't last forever, I think you'll be fine.

[Echewta]

I like to robo it daily.

[rirv]

A couple of drinks with my cornflakes helps the day go smoother.

[jabumbo]

i probably average some sort of drink 2-3 days a week, but i havent been honestly drunk in a good while.


once i got slapped around with some medical changes, i started to allowmyself to become a drunken mess only once a year. although i didnt really get drunk a whole lot to begin with

[Rock]

It varies. It used to be a few times a week and it was always Hammer Time. But then I chilled out from that for a while. And then it was once a week or sometimes zero times a week.
Ever since I moved I've only had a few people to drink with and I never drink alone (never have) so that has helped me save some money and my liver.
But today I've been drinking since 9am and I'm waiting for my wife to get home so I can keep it going.
As long as you aren't puking or falling down or blacking out or causing problems with your relationships everytime you go out or more times than not then you should be ok. Cheers fuckface.

I don't really black out, I just end up reaaally drunk. Usually the next day I remember some stupid shit I ended up saying or revealing about myself and I feel stupid.

[ms.peachy]

I have a glass or two of wine with dinner 3 or 4 nights a week. I used to drink more, but I don't get out much these days, plus mornings with both a hangover and a toddler really suck.

You should post some pics in the drunk thread to prove how drunk and stupid these revelations are.;)

[Myu-to]

Oh yeah, and me hardly ever. Drinking dosen't mix well with vicodin addiction.

[Lex Diamonds]

When you're not working a full time job I see no reason why it's not acceptable to drink as much as you like every day. And, a few days a week, much more than you like.

[hpdrifter]

Sounds to me like its not the relative amount or frequency of the drinking that's the problem for you, its the things you do and say when you're drunk. I am the same way. I get very lovey dovey and complimentary when I'm drunk and I always tell people things about myself that I subsequently regret.

Not sure how to mitigate this problem, I have had no success in doing so except to just laugh it off, try not to dwell, and hope everyone else was as drunk as you and doesn't remember/has their own regretful memories to chew on.

[Planetary]

drink most days, get drunk half the time im drinking probably

[taquitos]

drunk everyday by like 6 or 7 i'd say. drunk as shit right now anyway.

[ericlee]

I only drink on Fridays and Saturdays and maybe a few on Sundays.

Fridays and Saturdays are my drunk days so, I drink 3 days a week and get drunk 2 days a week.

[Dorothy Wood]

I get drunk on mondays when I have my secret club meetings. I was typically getting drunk at my friends' house on wednesdays when project runway was on, but that's done now. it's rare for me to go out on both friday and saturday nights, but when/if I'm going out, I am drinking to get drunk.

I'd say I usually try to keep the drinking to not more than 4 nights a week, and I never really get fall down drunk anymore. I've never blacked out and I don't like hangovers, so I usually keep myself in check and don't drink more than I can handle. just enough to get toasty. I could probably stand to drink less though. :/

Isn't binge drinking classified as drinking more than 2 or 3 standard drinks in a single session?

Anyway, I've been a binge drinker since I was 16. Since I became single I drink alot more often, usually 2-3 times a week, more if there's a public holiday or I feel like going out. For awhile there I was getting drunk 3-4 times a week consistently.

fuck, i hope not. i heard 5 in a sitting for a man, 4 in a sitting for a woman. i do that pretty regularly and i don't feel like a binge drinker. all this time i've been an alcoholic and i never knew, goddamn. science!!! :mad::mad::mad:

during college, it would be thur, fri, sat drinking and getting very very drunk. but that is college (uni). since entering the work force, if you keep up that kind of pace, I think you should worry about it a bit and question if it is really necessary and calculating the cost (health and financial).

I like a glass of wine with meals on average 1 or two times a week. Friday night after work I like to release (even if it is just at home) and drink some beers or a 1/2 bottle - 1 bottle of wine, but not every week for sure. I have always had a high tolerance though too, so for my wife, on glass already puts sparkles in her eyes, so that concerns her when I put down half a bottle.
this is good though, like this I feel a little guilty and moderate it for her sake :)

[Schmeltz]

Since I moved to Australia I've been drinking every day. Today I had three pints with lunch, then three more while I sat around the mall, then three more with dinner, and I'll doubtless take down a couple more before I get home. I mean it's not even 9:30.

Damn. :(

[Tzar]

I only drink on Fridays and Saturdays and maybe a few on Sundays.
word. beers are on constant flow on saturdays+sundays. it's not that we wanna get pissed but it's just better than water.

[kaiser soze]

Very rarely now.....since my girlfriend got pregnant we both have cut the cigarettes and alcohol.

I might have a beer here or there, but rarely go out. It is nice though when I get a nice little buzz after three bottles.

I used to be a grand ol' lush....High School, the Air Force, and my dj'ing days in Buffalo took a major toll on my mind and my liver.

I don't miss it
