Poll coming..... wait for it!!

Do you lie about how much alcohol you consume - lie to yourself, to friends, family and anyone else that you may discuss the subject with.

Do you even say you DON'T drink... when you do - even now and again? Are you truthful about it?

I tend to go through spells: of not having anything for weeks (mostly due to work) then I'll go through spells of having a drink at the weekend or very, very occasionally, midweek - but never spirits.

Depends on what's going on: and when I'm on holiday: I probably get 'that light headed merry but still in control' - that very relaxed but not wanting to get drunk way about every other day, then back to normal when I get home. Mostly because travel figures much for me in my normal routine.

I don't drink to get drunk anymore. My hangovers have always been terrible. If they weren't so bad, I'd drink a lot more. Even being sober after a couple of pints pretty much means I'll wake up with a headache. Get drunk, and I'll feel ill for the whole day.

Ooops I meant yes lol thought it was do you lie about how much alcohol you drink

[Suze]

I stopped drinking alcohol years ago apart from the occasional Birthday, celebration or holiday drink, and that's usually just the one then. Water suits me fine as a thirst quencher. When I used to drink socially, never saw the need to lie about it though or even to go out of my way to talk about social drinking. Sometimes out for a drink I could get blotto, mostly I wouldn't though.

I haven't ticked an option as none fit, as I will probably only have about three single glasses of drink in a year now.

No reason to lie.

Normally get completed drunk once every couple of months or so. Recently anyway, it's hard when all my friends are away at uni most of the time.

[Redway]

No. I'll still be living with my parents for at least a good two years still (I changed my sixth form course) and they know where I go over the weekend and if I go out to drink it has to be with my friends, so there's no point in hiding anything.

I have to say, I'm the same. Getting super sparkled now - I suffer for about 2 days - it is so not worth it!

yet I recall when I was so much younger: I could be out on the serious lash and fully operate without problem after one or two hours sleep !

Aaahhhhhh......... old age creeping up! but I actually have more fun now - now that it's not all a drunken haze!


InOne: tbf: the first post does throw the poll off a wee bit... I should have worded it better- mind you the poll does have a heading that's self explanatory to a degree but the OP is a bit wooly...... Sorry!

I will punish myself accordingly. In fact, I may have a drink in the midday sunshine .....

[Omah]

I used to drink alcohol morning, noon and night ..... well, mornings only at the weekend - now it's noon and night, but noons mostly at the weekend .....

[Niall]

I have it a few times a month with dinner or something.

[Josy]

Strictly Teetotal.

I used to drink every weekend but it gradually dwindled down to a glass of dinner wine every now and then and a drink at xmas/new year but now I don't bother with it at all, the hangovers leave me ill for days and thats enough to put me off.

[Shaun]

None of the options really apply to me - I only get drunk about once a week, and it's rarely the weekend. Student nights

But I do sometimes have a cider or a glass of Pimms without the intention of getting drunk

[King Gizzard]

I only ever have one if I'm forced into it, which is probably once or twice a year, but I don't drink, and never have

Never been drunk, either

[Scarlett.]

Basically every few months, I really don't like getting drunk, plus its not worth the next day being ruined by a hangover

[Locke.]

About twice a month I'd say usually, but as we get closer to July/August usually 2 or 3 times a week

[Redway]

To be honest, getting drunk has its advantages and disadvantages. I actually need alcohol or drugs to loosen me up a bit. It doesn't come by nature for me. I'm sociable and all that but I'm very stern and not that much of the smiling type so I need some drugs (legal or illegal) to help me relax. For me, all that beats just half a day feeling lethargic and all that. I think drugs are better, though, as you don't have to cope with a huge hangover. It just isn't the healthiest of options, but neither is alcohol.

3-5 nights a week

Carry on drinking like that and you may never slip out of your intoxication. Although that may have already happened, as reflected in your posts...

[Bollo]

A few times a month...usually either every other saturday or on the odd wednesday as thats when I don't have work the next day....I can't even drink one glass if I have work the next day as I feel fuzzy headed

[joeysteele]

I only drink alcohol when out socially with other Students or family and friends. Never to excess,just no more than an hour or so and a couple of drinks only.
I will have wine with a meal in or out,as in meal a dinner not just every meal.

The only time I setlle down with either Whiskey or Southern Comfort is on Zee's most loved poll results night on here.

Other than all that,I can easlly give alcohol a miss.

[Black Dagger]

Erm, I barely drink, mainly because I'm the worst drunk ever. I need to remain sober, my dignity is at an all time low when I get drunk, every three/four months I'l get drunk.

[Jords]

Mostly at weekends but Ill have a few bottles of cider in the week too.

[Kizzy]

weekends, even when I'm not working it's just a habit I got into...Must have a bevvy at the end of the week ... odd really

Me too, I don't go out that much but I love a few glasses of wine on a Friday night

[Kizzy]

Yea otherwise the week has not officially ended...haha

[Tom4784]

I don't really drink, I don't like the taste of anything apart from Mickey Finn's but that doesn't count since it's basically pop.
