How often do you booze?

[Redway]

Are you the type who can put easily down a six-pack of Red Stripe (or a good bottle of red) every night or is drinking strictly a weekend affair for you?

[joeysteele]

Rarely drink alcohol.
Before the pandemic, ONLY if out with family or friends, then only a couple of drinks.
I can't stand beer either.

A glass or 2 of wine with a meal is usually all I have.

[Crimson Dynamo]

its not for me

[Dogeatdog]

Only weekends atm. I may have a couple on a weekday (depends if football is on really) but otherwise it’s mainly just a Friday & Saturday evening.

[Calderyon]

Never.

[Kate!]

I've been teetotal for a long time now.

[Niamh.]

One night on the weekend, usually Saturday night

[Toy Soldier]

Last time I had a drink was in August when I met up with some old friends for the first time since Covid. Last time before that was a wedding in September 2019, time before that was the stag night for that two months before. And the time before that was at another wedding in 2017. So, not very often :joker:.

In late school it was Friday nights and a very occasional Saturdays, most of University was Wednesdays and Saturdays. So twice a week I guess when I was a regular drinker.

There was a spell in first year uni when I was out Weds/Thurs/Fri/Sat for about 3 months and I ended up really unwell. Lost about 2st and I was poopin' blood :umm2:.

[Cherie]

I generally drink twice a week - 2 glasses of wine

[Vicky.]

Weekends generally. Especially for getting totally wrecked. I might have one or two through the week if I have had a crap day though.

[bots]

Sometimes I kind of wish I could be that guy but at the same time all these vices make life more bearable/fun so it is what it is.

[Vicky.]

Thanks. Its been very therapeutic being back actually. Moreso than I thought it would be tbh :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Actually, I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it

[bots]

i drink when i feel like it. I can go months without and then have a couple. I don't have the capacity that I had when i was a young student... those were the days

[Nicky91]

Never any alcoholic beverages for me, Never anything with sparkles or bubbles or whatever you call it in english either, i prefer regular lemonade, and other flavoured lemonades you gotta fill up with water


i never drink coffee either, i prefer tea

[Strictly Jake]

Very very rarely drink to the point of being drunk now. However I like to share a bottle of wine and we tend to have it on a Thursday Friday and Saturday so I prob drink 1 and a half bottles of wine each week

[Gusto Brunt]

I don't drink booze, nor do I take drugs and don't smoke. :p

How much do we all tend to drink during the weekend, by the way?

The same as I do in the week.

The question is is it better to drink daily at a sensible level…or drink nothing during the week and then hammering it at the weekend…?

It all tallies up to the same amount anyway so it is what it is.

No one’s going to stick to the “recommended guidelines” (one drink for women, two for men) on a Friday night. Some people can’t get away with drinking on weekdays so weekends are their only chance to indulge and enjoy (and that’s something we all need to do more of). I’m sure it’s more sensible from a health perspective to have CBD tea every day instead of waking-and-baking with the potent stuff as part of a weekly routine but someone who’s looking to get properly lit isn’t going to want to sit around drinking CBD tea or rubbing hemp cream on their faces as a substitute. Sensible isn’t always fun.

Not to preach but… If you put the pseudoscience aside… neither. Any regular alcohol consumption damages pretty much every organ in your body and increases cancer risk.

About 20 gallons recently.

[smudgie]

Can’t drink now, but in my younger days it was normally 6 nights and 1 afternoon a week.:blush:
Had no problem getting up for work early every morning but it’s a good job I was picked up at the door.:laugh:

I know the risks that come with drinking...smoking...taking any drugs including prescription drugs...driving a car...walking in the dark alone etc etc etc....
We all know what is good for us and what isnt....but anything in moderation. My dad has a whisky every evening and he is 92 and going strong and is in good health...so its done him no harm.

However I have heard that binge drinking at the weekend can cause more damage than a steady drink during the week.

How did you come to that conclusion?

[Vicky.]

Pretty much everything that feels or tastes good is bad for you.

[Redway]

Yeah, I’m here for a good time. Not an especially long one.

I’m pretty sure it’s been proven that moderate consumption of red wine (and even beer) has/have quite a few health benefits so I don’t know what Toy Soldier was saying about regular consumption being sure to erode every internal organ and give you cancer. But then TS is forever the killjoy so.

Yeah me too....I have recently had my eyes opened to the realities of old age...its not a pretty sight.
A lovely lady who retired from my old company only last year just recently died from Cancer having being diagnosed in january....she didnt get to see much of her retirement having worked until she reached 67. Her words to a collegue were just live your life whilst you can because we do not know what is around the corner.....my outlook for the past 10 years or so.
Do everything in moderation...have fun and live each day like the next is your last...:dance:i

Yes thats the advice I heard....hence my one glass of wine a day for its health benefit..the odd southern comfort is for my own pleasure :laugh:

[Redway]

You might as well throw in a bit of dry Gordon’s as well for good measure.

[Vicky.]

I used to love southern comfort. Until I drank a bottle of it when being very silly in a short space of time. Now cant even smell it without feeling ill.

Blue aftershock, same story. Though that was my jobs fault at the time.

[bots]

red wine is full of anti-oxidants, beer flushes out you kidneys, what more does anyone need to know

I’d be interested in knowing why some people are so annoyingly deliberate on putting a damper on anything fun by reminding you that regular alcohol consumption is going to rot all your internals.

I only drank it once and I was so ill, like you the smell of it makes me gag
