A glass of Dos Equis when eating at a Mexican restaurant. A couple of beers (max) at a baseball game. Other than that…nothing.
 
Two or three drinks a night a few times a month.

And I try to go on a bender every month or two. The morning after reminds me why I don’t consume regularly.
 
Im a quarter Irish,German,Norwegian and Italian. Ill have a beer or two a night usually. Some days none. Some days a few more. I don’t really keep track. And I def don’t drink to get drunk… anymore.
 
I drink a 32oz of miller highlife beer everyday after work with a meal. So that equals 2 and 2/3 of a beer. Then sometimes I drink a tall can of Budweiser by itself a little before I go to bed. Some days I don’t. Beer is like soda-pop to me. I like how it tastes. I use to have a real problem with my drinking and I always drank to get drunk but not anymore. I think the way I drink now is the way it is supposed to be enjoyed.
 
I used to drink far more frequently. I think it was in the neighborhood of a beer or two every other night.
My husband and I like to pair beers with dinner…sort of like pairing wine with dinner. We used to frequent beer tastings too.

I’m a mom now…so my drinking habits have changed substantially. I’m pregnant now, so nothing and when I’m nursing…I’d say it’s next to nothing. Maybe a beer or two on special occasions.

I don’t drink any hard alcohol and I don’t care for wine (except for my mother’s homemade sangria and wine coolers…they are quite yummy on summer days).

When and if we slow down a little having babies…I might go back to enjoying one or two beers a week…either to pair with dinner or to wind down from a rough day.
 
Jesus made wine for free !!!11

does it say in Bible that Jesus ever drank wine ???
 
I drink a beer or two every few weeks, and maybe a Jack and Coke a few times a year.
 
hi,im english,here in northern europe-britain/ireland/germany/scandinavia,there is a massive drinking/drunk culture within mainstream society.
people drink to get drunk every weekend in britain,it is hideous,iam nearly fifty and friends i went to school with still drink in the same way they did as teenagers,some people think you are strange if you are out in a bar and you are NOT intending to get drunk.
alcohol abuse is a massive problem in britain,and is one of the very many terrible aspects of living in the modern uk.
i used to drink very heavily before i found god and became a catholic,but now i know drunkenness is a sin.i still drink regularly,maybe three times a week,but the intake is limited to one,two,two or three drinks.i do not drink to get drunk.
god gave us hangovers to show us that drinking to excess is wrong!
 
I live in the land of micro brews; I average one bottle of beer a day - some days none, some two and an occasional pint out with friends. I like wine but can only drink it with meals and so maybe 4-6 times a year a glass or two. Can’t stand scotch; a shot of bourbon maybe once every 6 months to a year, have no patience to mix drinks and won’t pay the freight when out on the town.

I have made beer, taught beer making, and was invited to go commercial once (figured it a quick path to bankruptcy). And it would have to be a very hot day before I would have a schludweiller…
 
Usually when we go out to dinner I’ll have a glass of wine…so maybe 2-3x a month…and if we’re at a party I’ll have a glass of wine or a margarita…so maybe 1x a month with that.

Just out of curiosity, how many people here drink alcohol?

Me? I’m a teetotaler! I don’t have a moral problem with alcohol, I just don’t see any reason to consume it. I do personally believe, however, that many people drink far too much and that alcohol abuse has contributed to untold amounts of woe for mankind.

I would appreciate anyone’s perspective on the subject.

I find this question interesting, because of the difference in family cultures regarding drinking.

I grew up in a household where parties/social life centered around food.

My sisterinlaw grew up in a household where parties/social life were all about the drinks.

This came to an interesting convergence when I attended the after-wedding gift-opening party of my brother and this sisterinlaw at her mother’s home.

We were invited there at noon. As soon as I entered the house I was offered a drink. I declined, and almost said (but for some reason, thankfully, I held my tongue, ) “I’ll just have a drink when we eat, thanks.”

We never ate. We were never offered food. It was simply a drinks and opening-gifts party.

Thank goodness I hadn’t been obvious about my expectation that we would be eating. 😃

That’s interesting because down here in South Louisiana people pursue eating just as much as they do drinking and the sad fact is that they indulge too much in both. I keep my opinions about drinking to myself but I think there is something very wrong with the way many people, both young and older, drink. I have always thought it strange that no one would sit down and drink half a gallon of orange juice from start to finish but mix alcohol with it and many will drink until they either pass out, vomit or can’t go anymore. I don’t understand it but then again, there are many things I don’t understand. Thanks for your comment!
 
I have a drink about 3-4 times per week. It can range from beer, wine, a brandy or cordial depending on what I am/have eaten.
