Rarely. The hangover extends over 3 days now. It’s just not worth it.

It’s been 796 days since I’ve drank alcohol.

Way too fucking much.

Probably should consider myself a functioning alcoholic.

Usually go through a 1.75L of Jack per week on my own.

Been through a similar phase ~12yrs ago, but pulled out of that one changing jobs.

I drink when I’m stressed, but it’s a vicious cycle because I know I shouldn’t and that stresses me as well.

I used to drink every Friday, but recently quit. 3 weeks free now

40’s. I stopped almost completely since last October, before that though the average was about two six-packs a week. A combination of wanting to reduce costs and health reasons made me drop it. I had just gotten back a blood test showing elevated levels of cholesterol, so I’ve been adjusting my diet to reduce it and apparently alcohol can contribute to cholesterol/triglycerides. Also should end up saving me somewhere around $1000/yr I think, as I tended to drink pricier craft beers, which are $10–12 a six-pack.

I thought it was going to be harder to stop, that I might have more urges to drink or more breakdowns, I’d been drinking semi-regularly for maybe decades now, but it’s been fine. I’m really curious to see my next blood test results to see what kind of an impact it might’ve had.

I have one beer most nights now, since like a year ago. I never drink more or anything else other than a glass of wine instead occasionally. Before that, maybe once a month. I’m not in race shape (bicycle) any more but for my 30’s, I’m in far better shape than most.

Never. I have this weird thing where my liver doesn’t process it correctly. If I have one beer I’ll throw up for 3 days.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17659-alcohol-intolerance

"When most people ingest alcohol, which contains ethanol:

An enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) helps metabolize (process) the ethanol.

Your liver converts the ethanol to acetaldehyde, a substance that can cause cell damage.

Another enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) helps convert acetaldehyde to acetic acid (vinegar), which is nontoxic.

In people with alcohol intolerance, a genetic mutation (change) makes ALDH2 less active or inactive. As a result, your body can’t convert acetaldehyde to acetic acid. Acetaldehyde starts to build up in your blood and tissues, causing symptoms."

Maybe 1 beer a month, on average. And spirits maybe twice a year.

Sometimes not for weeks, sometimes nightly.

I used to have a beer every few days, now I’ll have one every few weeks. They also hit like a truck now. I have no tolerance.

Once a week at most, usually I go two or three weeks before heading over to my local pub.

Cocktail hour doesn’t take a vacation

0 times a year.

There isn’t really an upside to getting drunk, but there are a lot of downsides.

Incessantly

Almost Daily. I make wine and drink about 2 bottles a week. 🤗 usually spread out a few glasses in the evening for a few hours after I’m done with anything that requires leaving the house up to bedtime.
