I thought you meant the whole week. On mon-fri I say you drink at most 6 alchoholic beverages and 2 at a minimum.
Do Y'all Think I Drink Too Much?
- Thread starter IrishCanadian25
- Start date
I'm going to try and say my beliefs in a simple manner, which is difficult to do, considering the nature of this discussion.
I am of the belief that one becomes an alcoholic when one allows the alcohol to consume them. When one has allowed the alcohol to replace the important things in life, such as a roof, your significant other, your family, your job, etc. then it may be time to look yourself in the mirror, and question your ability to control the substance. If you feel your life is managable, than I don't see an issue.
In short... It's really a judgement call, and the only one that can decide upon that is you. If you feel you drink too much, than that is your personal call, if you feel the alcohol is taking over your life. However, if you're able to function, and live your daily life, I don't see a problem. You don't seem at this point, IC

The correct answer?
Zero.
I drink zero alcoholic beverages during the week. Exceptions can be made - as NorCal mentioned, a sporting event. A nice gourmet dinner may be accompanied by a single glass of wine. But other than that, I don't drink during the week.
I should have said Sunday - Thursday. Then, I pick either Friday or Saturday to go out and have a few. When I do actually drink - meaning Becky or someone else is driving, I have 5-8 drinks, but no more than that generally. 85% of what I drink is liquor such as scotch, whiskey, or gin.
I actually don't drink very much at all. And when I drink, I never drive.

As for how many a week, not sure what the definition of a drink is, but mon-thursday, maybe 1-1.5 a day on average. Friday/Saturday likely more. Sunday, barring a major PPV at the bar, not many.
Edit: just saw the actual answer. That's fine boss. Actually it's good. While I don't drink, I see little wrong with going out and having some fun a night a week. It's hardly like your life is dependent on it.

Yep, and believe me, when I don't drink, Becky has a few. If anything, she's concerned about how much time I spend on a wrestling forum, not my drinking habits.
BTW, I am the classiest and most affectionate drunk you'll ever meet. 4 or 5 scotches and I will tell you everything I love about you before thanking you for being my friend. It's sappy, but that's me drunk. Ask D-Man, he'll tell you.

I think I was the closest with my second guess for just mon-fri.
And that alone gives me a lot of respect for you. Again, I don't think there's a problem, and I see that the rational decision, and ultimately, I feel the one that matters most, is being made on your part.
Applause for you, IC. I have much respect for you.

Well yesterday you told me I don't get the respect I deserve, where you drunk or not?

This thread makes me feel like shit. I know damn well I probably drink more then I should, but oh well. I end up getting drunk about 3 times in a week, but every now and then I'll have a single drink if a friend offers me one, that comes up at random occasions like dinners.
I usually just stick to the natural things though. If it grows out of the Earth, it's fine by me. I just finished burning down a few trees in fact.

But, once it hits your lips, it's so good!!!
Hmmm. Alcohol. I've had a sip of wine, a glass of champagne and a stolen bit of my mom's drink when I was in Mexico. My friends ALWAYS have alcohol at gatherings and get drunk as fuck and I'm the only one who doesn't. Of course, they have about a drop of it and say they're wasted out of their minds but ya, I'm the only one who avoids the stuff. I'm not sure when I'm going to start, actually. When did y'all start drinking?
The first time I was ever drunk was probably 10 years old. It was New Years Eve, my mother had champaigne (before she quit drinking), and I didn't realize it was an alcoholic drink. I poured myself like 3, 4 glasses of it thinking it was just some kind of cider or something and ended up drunk and falling asleep on my bed next to all of my new christmas toys, lol. That was a pure accidental drunk though.
The first time I got drunk on purpose was probably 12. Me and a good friend of mine used to just nick stuff out of his parent's liquor cabinet (which was always stocked), so we'd drink all sorts of random stuff from E&J to vodka to whiskey.
I wouldn't recommend starting that early, or even now Jane (do ya mind if I call you Jane?). Are you in high school yet? Either way, I'd wait until 15. Seems like a reasonable age to start. Just don't go overboard on the alcohol and you'll be fine and end up having a whole lot more fun at parties and getting into crazy situations that you otherwise wouldn't sober.
Alcohol really does connect people man.
Not as fun as drunk rep, but still rep

Stop being such a jerk, Jane!!! There might be people here with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome!!! They had to start drinking right after they were conceived!!!
True that.

Meh, I'd say you seem more like a weekend drunk, nothing wrong with that really....though, and this just might be me, but the drunken posts thing can get a little annoying at times
