Socially, and not much at all. A couple of beers.

once or twice a month, can range from a couple to a few beers at a time. anything more than that is degenerate and leads to problems.

Probably once a week and a few beers/glass or two of Crown at a time. I only drink a lot a few times a year(I have some scheduled events that I do every year that usually include a lot of alcohol).

Same here. I usually reserve my drinking for Sundays (football season, especially). During Spurs games I might have a beer or two.

3-4 times a week, anywhere from 2-8 beers and some Bulleit Rye. Two of those days are at the pub

3 or 4 a month unless I'm on the road at which time I step it up a bit. It has to be the good stuff though.

There are probably only 3 occasions that I'll drink more than a couple beers or an old fashioned--that's my birthday, the Super Bowl, and whenever the Laker season starts :cry. Normally, I'll have a craft beer or two on the weekend but not all the time.

I usually go out once during the week and once on the weekend; have 3 beers/drinks at the most. I like to have a beer while I'm cooking dinner too, but since I don't cook much it's not that often.

That stressful eh Gem? 48.5 would cause me anxiety too. Luckily Football season starts first to soften the blow. I'm hoping the offense really breaks out this year with a healthy line and a lot of speed on the outside.

As far as myself, not that often, and when I do, never enough. Beverage of choice is typically Bourbon on the rocks, or neat.

About 3 times during the week, couple of glasses of red wine or a couple of beers each time. On the weekends, it depends on our plans - we've been going to weddings, wedding parties, etc etc a lot lately and with my friends that usually turns into a good ole drunken time.

The last few years--it has been hard. However with the Seahawks and muh Kangs ringing, it hasn't been that hard. I normally break out some Glengoyne.

Rarely, a glass of some excellent French, German, Australian, Italian, Texas, or Californian wine with a special meal about once every six months or so.
Same for a shot of some single malt scotch like Dalwinnie, or a margarita on the rocks at a party.

2-3 times per week on average, 3-8 drinks per sitting depending on the scene. I never drink alone, however. It's always in a social setting with other people. Drinking alone is never fun imo.

Usually Fridays and Saturdays. Quantity ranges from very light to pretty heavy. Occasional during the work week for happy hour or sport events. Used to be a lot more regular during the week but i've cut back big time on that.

When I was 18-23 I would drink like once a month or so. By 25-27 with med school being extremely intense it kind of became my escape tbh. At 29 now, its so hard to enjoy a weekend without having a drink with the lady. It feels like a weekend wasted, I hve had numerous occasions I take off 4-5 weeks from drinking to remind myself that I 'can' but ultimately I like 3-4 drinks a weekend. As a doctor I know its not good for you though, but I also see plenty of my colleagues smoking like chimneys.

Actually I have heard that one once of alcohol a day is very healthy for you.
Have you never heard this?

Ive heard it a ton, in fact men have an enzyme that allows us to drink more than women. It improves cardiovascular health and stress management. However, I was in awesome shape prior to drinking about 4 drinks a week. My blood work is spot on but I put on weight much faster now because alcohol is like a weight gainer. Its worse than soda in my opinion.

One drink a day is actually good for you, this means about 2 shots a day for men. When I drink on the weekends its more than 2 shots, I'd say about 3.5 shots.

Hmm that is interesting. Why do you think you didn't drink much at 18-23? I would guess because you were getting your schooling done like a good boy. 18-23, my entire life revolved around partying & girls with 1 or 2 courses being passed a semester

No I partied a ton actually, but for some reason I was fine drinking once a week or so. I could have just 'a drink' at a party. I think getting older you get more used to it so one drink turns into 2-3 or even 4.

I didnt drink enough in my life to be that guy that needs 4-5 shots to 'feel anything', but it feels like a waste to just have one shot and kind of get dick teased. Might as well get the full blown 2-3 drinks.

Well...being on call seven on and seven off and working 12 hours shifts(5a-5p) limits my consumption. Even on days when I'm not on call, a couple of drinks after a 12 hour shift and I'm asleep on the couch. I love my craft beer and my Crown, but unfortunately adult responsibilities trump those loves.

I don't drink much during the offseason but during the regular season that is when my drinking goes up. If the Lakers lose a game then I drink 4 beers but if they win I'll just drink 1. I have a feeling I won't be drinking much next season since God will be returning.

This.

I may not get trashed or rage every time I go out here, but I can't think of a single social event I've participated in since moving here that hasn't included a drink (or at least where it wasn't an option). Including going to the movies or just walking around outside with friends and daiquiris.

That said, I am exclusively a social drinker. If I'm by myself, or if I'm with people who aren't also drinking, I'm never even tempted. In the six months since I've been too overwhelmed with 40+ hours/week of work AND a full graduate course load to be as social as I'd like, I've had maybe three drinks. Maybe. And my liquor cabinet at home as been untouched. I don't think that would be the case if I liked beer, though. If I did I would probably be more likely to come home from work and relax with a beer than I am to go to the trouble of making a cocktail.
