How much do you drink?

[Reep]

Ive had a bit over the past week, usually a six pack a night because of all the 18ths ive gone to. Usually though its about a 6 pack over a month.

Hey fellow Escapists, im just back in off a few jars in the local and was wondering, How much do my fellow escapists drink? Obviously I mean alcohol , now i was recently in the USA for a visit and found that my drinking habits by far exceeded the norm, but also that i was not as "adversly" affected by booze as your standard yank. good times lool. But that was my average drink on a night out, now im Irish, we have amongst the highest alcohol consumption per capita in the world On a Friday/Saturday night out i would start at maybe 4-6pm and finish between 2-3am drinknig around 10-12 pints and 2-5 shots, on a heavy session like a party or such it could be much more, how much do m fellows consume?

I'm an American by birth but by genetics have ALL the heavy drinkers in my bloodline and it shows when I drink. I'd say what you just listed is my minimum when I do drink. Since I work a lot and all at night......tends to have the wrong effect on my drinking habits. Plus my money needs to go elsewhere.

For the 4th of July(Independence Day for us Americans) I drank a little over 16oz of 100 proof Southern Comfort (or So Co as a lot of people like to call it including me) and 8oz of Bacardi 151. Yeah it was all mixed with coke/dr. pepper but not much of the drink was the soda.......and the only reason I stopped was cause I had been working hard the previous few weeks and couldn't stay awake any longer..... and all that was within a few hours....like maybe 3 hours......the 151 was at my house and the So Co was at a friends house a bit up the street from me so I drove myself home in between the two(in my whole five minute drive)

I had the wonderful fortune to be in Las Vegas for your Independance Day, Its no Paddys Day, but its fucking close

I was up the street from my house shooting off fireworks

I know you're referring to alcohol, but I rarely even drink water. I probably have eight pints a week, tops.

I don't need to drink much- this saves me money and time
I don't care what anyone else thinks

 

[Epitome]

And why is that?

 

[Jark212]

Eww really fat man? Champagne is so gross...unless its really expensive. Even so, its for weddings and girls nights. Come on fat man, grab a propper pint.

But it tastes so damn good!

And, well, I am partial to Cider, if that counts.

I'm most fond of White wine, the sweet stuff.

Never wanted to. It just doesn't look good and its horrible for you. I guess its fine if you drink because you're thirsty but Ive never understood getting drunk.

Yet another night of stupid drunken antics with one of my best mates, haven't done this in weeks though.. another bottle of vodka finished, at least this time I wasn't so enraged by a film we watched that I had to write another nasty review (watched 'wild things' this time, perfect drunken entertainment!)

Sadly I hit 19 soon and I haven't been drunk yet because all my idiot friends back out of our drinking plans at the last minute. For me its usually a Whiskey like Jim Beam.

 

[Jon Etheridge]

Usually about every Wednesday and Saturday nights. Wednesday is "Creative" night and Saturday is "Hang out at the bar" night.

Depends on factors
Event, Place, Company, Mood, Health...
But on a heavy night maybe a bottle of JW Red and a coupla Jagers-Cokes plus whatever else I can get my hands on. On a light night (which is most nights now days) 2 or 3 double JW (Red/Black).

There's a variety of reasons at this point in time, it has become a social norm, nay a procedure to get wasted every time you drink. A product of my generation, and when you talk about drunk you really have to define the stage of "drunk" because there are more than one... and they are different in every society.

Personally I get drunk when I've had a rough week or two and so have a couple of mates, we'll get wasted head back to a mates place and play Guitar Hero/Rock Band all night.

rums my drink. good ol cap morgan. i usually only have a pint and some beers....but ive downed like 3 pints B4. i dont like getting so drunk i cant move....but i do get pretty hammered

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

I drink very very rarely, but when I do, I have quite a bit.

Only Champagne, though.

meh, last alcohol I had was on my visit to Berlin. I had a few glasses of White Wine.
that was... 4-6 months ago, probably.

So I don't drink much. and if I do drink, it's only White Wine and Champagne
not very often Champagne though. can never find a good source.

When I said I never understood getting drunk I mean drinking for any reason other than you are thirsty and you like the taste of the drink. I'll never understand drinking for the sole purpose of getting drunk because there's so many bad effects, hangovers being one of them.

Thats like not wanting to go on the rollarcoaster because it may induce vomiting, hangovers are not a sure thing, throw a few pints of water down your neck while your still on teh beer save alot of teh pain in the morning. People are way more fun when they are drunk, social interactions are more fun , group events are more fun, having a valid excuse for halving your mental age, stealing a traffic cone and runing down a street at 3 in the morning claiming your harry potter (if you think its not a valid excuse then you have never had drunk thoughts ) Beer is fun, sure it can lead to some bad stuff if its abused, but for th most it just creates a relaxed atmosphere where fun is had

I do not drink. My father's side of the family has a long history of alcoholism and I want to break the chain by outright abstinence. I may make exceptions like, say, champagne at weddings, but I haven't gotten to that stage of life yet.

Sweet Pericles, 5 pages and no one has admitted to drinking goon? Liars! The lot of you. I'm sure someone else here partakes of the silver sack, the nectar of the gods on occasion?

EDIT:

Wednesday is "Creative" night

Is that how Apocalypse Lane gets written, may I ask?

 

[iJosh]

Dozen Heineken + Shots of whiskey ( Usually end up consuming a pint)

Er if its just beer. I can do 24.
