How much do you drink?
Throughout my childhood in an Italian household, home made wine was consumed (by the adults) on a daily basis at dinner. A glass or two was customary. FYI, home made has a higher alcohol content than store bought wine. But still, you never saw anyone sloshed. It was just part of the culture.
As an adult, I (infrequently) have a glass of wine (or two) with dinner. I rarely have beer. But I do have the occasional martini (or three).
How much alcohol do you drink? What do you have? And how often?

I'm not a drinker (21 yrs old). When I'm out with friends, I may have a colada.

Doh. Of course. Thanks.
So you're not a wine drinker?

I'm Italian, and sometimes I'll have red wine with my mom at dinner. When I go to Italy to visit family (every other summer), I end up drinking every night with them and since I'm not use to it, i get dunk dirty style.

I don't drink all too often. During the summer months, we pile some wood in to our chimney (pronounced, 'shim-i-nay) in the garden, and light that, then sit around it with a few beers and some wine.
Depending on the weather, it can happen between one and three times a week.
Although, I often do not drink at those times. When I do though, I generally drink beer, mainly budweiser, or the original version (non-Americanised version) of Budweiser, called Budwar. Maybe the odd San Miguel.
When we have a full blown drinking session though, I tend to drink a few spirits, mainly Aftershock, and vodka+coke. Although, I have very bad memories of Aftershock, so for the last 4 months or so it has sat on the shelf, slowly fermenting and collecting sugar at the bottom.

I only really drink Courvasier or Hennessey. If I go out for a laugh, I stick with Smirnoff Ice.

I plan on staying fresh, rather than getting legless at the BBQ, Vito. As you know, I'm attending Wonderland the day after the BBQ, so getting legless is out of the question. Although, I'm sure you can all force the beer down me, but be warned, I *will* get myself arrested if you do that.

I don't drink enough!
Currently about once a week - two or three beers per sitting.
Stella, Corona, etc.

I usually drink twice a month if that and its a lot when I do (at least a 26 of Vodka) because any less really isn't going to do much. I'm not a beer drinker but I will have the occasional glass of wine with the family. I love my hard liqure

I don't drink a lot anymore, I used to drink pretty much, social drinker and whenever it gets hot and a nice beer will cool you down! I've gotten "used" to the heat as much as possible, while working in the heat, I can't drink of course so I just drink water or a pop here and there. I still drink a beer here or there, never was a wine drinker, probably never will be either.Tyler Cole

I best not, Michael scares me, I wouldn't dare confront Michael, with his debating skills here on WHT I'll keep well out of the mans way.
Anyway, if you go down with food poising at the BBQ, Michael is our next best cook, so I have to be nice to him.

How much alcohol do you drink? What do you have? And how often?

I lived in Holland for 15 yrs and drinking is a social event, it would be rare to get really drunk and if so it would be after many hours - now back in the USA everyone seems to want to get wasted as fast as possible.
I dont drink much now but enjoy a good bourbon from time to time or some wine though there are not many good brands here unless you really go shopping around.

On average, possibly around 3/4 beers a week at the moment.
However, over my lifetime it would be very little - in the 0.000 - 0.001 range per week! (Probably)

I love beer and wine, but as someone who appreciates the characteristics of their taste, not the effects on my memory
I have a bad habit of enjoying very expensive beers. My beers of choice are Corsendonk Brown Ale, any of the Three Floyds pale/India ales (I hate pale beers normally, but Three Floyds is exceptional), and practically anything from Rogue Brewery. Shakspeare Stout is my all-time favorite. It's so thick, you can almost stand a spoon straight up in it I'm not generally a fan of Lambics, but Kreik has its place in my pantry here and there. I've splurged on occasion on a bottle or three of Chimay, but at $10-15/bottle, this is not a good habit to keep (plus the lighter content beers aren't all that good). I generally hate hefeweizens, but drop a shot of Chambord straight down the middle of one, glass and all, and you have an interesting treat
But I don't drink very much beer at all really. My main love is wines, again, from the perspective of an appreciator of viticulture and the product it creates. I would hesitate to call myself a connoisseur , because I simply haven't done enough tasting or research to put myself into that category. Perhaps I'd say I'm a casual connoisseur, something in-between the non-wine drinker and the afficionado.
As for drinking "on a mission," I do this rarely, but when I do, I play for keepsStudio1337___̴ı̴̴̡̡̡ ̡͌l̡̡̡ ̡͌l̡*̡̡ ̴̡ı̴̴̡ ̡̡͡|̲̲̲͡͡͡ ̲▫̲͡ ̲̲̲͡͡π̲̲͡͡ ̲̲͡▫̲̲͡͡ ̲|̡̡̡ ̡ ̴̡ı̴̡̡ ̡͌l̡̡̡̡.__Web Design

I drank way more than my share for many, many years so I don't have any more shares. I gave up drinking 10 years ago.

Last night i had a 20 something ounce bottle of sierra nevada pale ale (beer).
A few weeks ago, i drank a quart of captain morgan parrot bay rum.
A week before that, i went to 2 different bars, and had 3 white russians.
A few days before that, i drank 3 beers, and about 5 shots of jameson.
If i have the money, I'm probably going to go to the store and pick up a bottle of malibu rum I've had my eye on. If i don't have enough, I'll probably get some vodka.
I don't like beer much. It's much too bitter. I'll try and make sure to buy some orange juice with that vodka.
I usually drink to get drunk. It's just more fun that way.
