Thread: How often do you drink?
A Elbereth Gilthoniel
The only question that matters is can I kill it?
I come from a family with a history of alcohol issues, so I never touched the stuff until I was about 28. Then I realised how stupid it was to deprive myself pleasure because of other people's problem. Now I drink two, sometimes three strong beers (or ciders) a day. I'd like to cut back to lose weight, but life is just so much more enjoyable with a drink.
Same, started drinking in my early 30s but in my case I once spent more than 5k$ on booze in a month. Got rehab treatment but I always restart drinking. I got much body damage from it. Typical night is usually up to 15 drinks but I'm functional the morning after with no hangover whatsoever. I'm muscular lean so no issue with body apparence.

Voted daily, as other options are too infrequent
Drank on and off since i was a teenager and maybe it's an English thing but most other people i know do too . As someone with anxiety issues It's also a good social lubricant and many a party or family gathering has been made easier while drinking.
But I've managed to offset any weight gain by keeping active and doing physical jobs , however I'm under no illusion it isn't a slow poison. Damn tasty one though!
Respect to anyone that has never drank or keeps it to a bare minimum. I'll raise a toast to your resolve lol

Handful of times a year , not opposed to drinking it just doesn't do much for me anymore .
If socializing sure but at home I very rarely drink , maybe during dinner parties on holidays . Hell I still have beers in my fridge that are probably 2+ years old . Probably a good reminder for me to clean my fridge

A six pack will last me the weekend these days but I'm thinking about just cutting it entirely. It hurts more the older you get and honestly if I'm gonna waste calories I'm at the point now where I'd rather do it on something tasty instead.
Never realised what a bunch of namby pamby, prissy little dweebs so many of you lot are.
Drinking alcohol regularly has been the norm for thousands of years, especially in Europe, where we did it so much we've evolved better enzymes and liver functionality to break it down than those in the rest of the world.
Also I call bollocks on the fat processing thing. Alcohol consumption has dropped at the same time obesity has risen. People in the 19th century were knocking back gin by the pint on a daily basis, and weren't all the massive gut lords we have today.
Just got these today from my local brewery and tap room. Going to have a great relaxed weekend with the wife and enjoy half of them, with the rest for a group camping trip we've got coming ip with friends.

Yeah look into ultra processed foods as to why obesity is on the rise. Most things we eat aren't even real food and yet I'm expected to feel guilty for drinking something that's been a staple of our diets since jesus was a lad...
The best tasting beer I've ever had is this one. I drink 5 and I'm good for sleep afterwards.
It's a bumpy road to go down if we're gonna "do things we did for centuries"Never realised what a bunch of namby pamby, prissy little dweebs so many of you lot are.

most of that drinking:
- was at 2-4 percent ABV
- aided with digestion of sub optimal, high fiber agrarian foods
- accompanied all day labor (e.g. Benedictine monks claiming wild territory and turning it into farmland)
The solution, of course, is to drink while exercising! Even 100 years ago, lot of the hard laborers drank all day for the calories and pain relief. Steel workers and factory workers, especially. But the battered wives and the liable companies weren't fond of the effects which at least in the USA led directly to Prohibition
If we're talking food and drink wise modern diets, particularly those of urbanites, are vastly worse than our ancestors, whose main problem was lack of food full stop, not poor nutritional meals.
Most obese people are also malnourished, having lived a life eating processed crap made with factory farmed, high yield low quality ingredients, then pumped full of additives and sugars.
Sure, knecking ten pints of lager a night will give you a beer belly and fuck your liver, but drinking the same volume of coca cola is going to be as bad if not worse for you, while having a glass or two of locally made, traditionally brewed ale, made with nothing more than grains and hops in it, is going to be doing zero harm to you, with literally millenias worth of evidence to support that.

From like 17-25 years old, I drank way more than I should have. But then I sorta just "had my fill" I guess. I stopped liking the feeling of being drunk and my hangovers were getting worse.
So now I can easily go a year without a drink and not think about it at all. I only drink now if I'm at like a hockey game with family/friends or at a get together where everyone else is drinking. I can still pound a ton of booze despite my low tolerance. I get drunk as fuck, but I mean my body seems like it can handle it really well.

The food we eat, the booze we drink, and the work we do—none of it is nearly the same as what the people even a hundred years ago were getting up to. None of us are drinking beer daily because it's the only way to be sure our water won't kill us, for example.

When I do drink Beer, 9 times out of 10 it is a Pilsner. I appreciate craft breweries and their Session Boomerang IPA's that tasted like Grapefruit, yet having no fruit added (it's weird but works), Porters, Bocks, and Brown Ales etc... All Beers are all Good, except Belgium Ales give me a headache if I drink more than one.
I am always looking for a clean, crisp, malty Pilsner. Mainly due to living in summer 9 months out of the year, but when you find a craft brewery that actually makes a quality Pilsner and doesn't hide their inability to make a quality beer by over-hopping and slapping an IPA label on it, then you have something special.
There is a reason why all American Domestic (and Mexican) beers are variations of Pilsners. And I wish small craft breweries would work to have at least one quality Pilsner on their roster. If I was an heir to an original American Beer Magnate, I would challenge my company to work to make an actual Pilsner of old which put said company on the map. Just something special to offer for those who are looking to see why Pilsner is a sublime offering.
Oh yeah, the other Beer I DON'T like was some fucked up Craft beer from San Francisco that was brewed with OoLong Tea. Horrible.

Yeah I replaced getting sloshed for the night with getting absolutely baked and sipping on mtn dew and eating munchies. I get more gaming in, not hungover, im not a drunk slob around the family, I lose weight, everybody wins.
That being said I am *not* a 1-2 drink person. If I start I typically don't stop, even if I've learned to "pace" myself.

Haha tight dude.
Ive really been into Heineken Silver as my light beer lately. But I enjoy everything. Those beers you posted are probably mighty tasty.
I drank pretty much everyday from 19-30, of course with the odd day off here and there. Not to get drunk, just a drink or two at the end of the day. But yeah, when I did go out to party, I'd drink a lot (and I partied weekly during the entirety of my 20s). I never got hangovers and always got up fine the next day, so I told myself that eventually I'd get old and the hangovers would start, at which point I'd stop drinking. That day never came, so I just decided to quit. I still have a drink at my gigs, and I'll go out for drinks socially on occasion, but I haven't been shitfaced in a few years. Never say never but drinking to get drunk seems to be behind me at this stage in life. I had my fun, time to move on. Plus everything is so expensive now it's pretty easy to cut the stuff and put the extra money into my savings.
I'll put myself down as weekly

My grandma died aged 52 of cirrhosis (I never got to meet her) and I had many drug and alcohol addicted relatives, it runs in my mom side of the family, everyone is addicted to something whether it's cigarettes, cocaine, alcohol, prescription drugs, you name it. I think I'm right to be scared, so I never developed a taste for it.
I wholeheartedly agree with you that urban and modern diets are total shit and that people who drink cola as if it was water and complain about alcohol are fucking hypocrite.
