I have one a night, usually Italian bitters like a Negrino, old fashion or even just campari and soda.
The mrs is having a glass+ a night of red and it's seriously costing us big $$$. I say we spend, between ourselves and social occasions, $300+ a month on booze. |

;( I miss that guy. Show will never be the same. Amazingly he played such a good drunk when he was really sober. Only thing he was addicted to earlier in life was VLTs! So cool what he built in his free time:

Just last night, I did some computer work for a school teacher. He brought me a bottle of Maker's as payment. We had a snock and then he left. I poured another couple of fingers, and sat to watch AHS- Apocalypse. My youngest son's diabetic GF walks thru the kitchen, and as a parting blow tells me "Don't eat too many of those candies" I wasn't even aware of what I was doing 217 at bed, 153 fasting this morning. |

Hey, have you seen the new glucose testing machine where a "pellet" is inserted under the skin every 3 months, and then you just wave a sensor over it? I just finished my latest drug trial and they were trying to push one on me. I called them aliens trying to tag me Eversense maybe?

It's nice that this poll capped out at "16+" drinks (per week).
My 'natural' rate of alcohol consumption is about 7 - 8 standard drinks a day. That's generally a six pack of beer in the afternoon on weekends or two to three glasses (a bottle) of wine per night after work. ... I prefer to put it that way, because it sounds far less outrageous than "at least 50 per week". I do try to limit that - but some weeks are better than others. I love spirits. There's nothing like a good quality Vodka or Gin straight-up; but I really don't buy them any more because I'll burn through $60 in a couple of nights. (And, you know, that level of drinking is unhealthy ) Last edited by xQx; 10-02-2018 at 09:35 PM.. |

My current lifestyle and where I live puts me in a position where by normal standards; most would say I drink a lot... and I would agree. But easily up to 6 in the weekdays and another 6-7 on the weekends. That adds up to around 13, so almost the highest bracket. I know for a fact this will change within a year or so... typically I will never have more than 2 drinks a day but if you do the math though... thats still roughly 14 a week. I never drink a large quantity at once; however it is quite often.
Liver panel looks quite solid though... |

blame college for it - im sober during the week, not a single sip of alcohol mostly because lack of time.
come friday 5pm though, happy hour begins. $1 jager bombs + friends is a dangerous combo, only to be fueled by a food break around 9ish, bring people to my place/go to someone's place to continue drinking then head out again until 2am. rinse and repeat on saturday as well dollar bombs combined with knowing many of the bartenders usually leads to sub $10 spent including $5 cover and 5-6 blacked out people, at least... if you were one, how did you go from a high functioning alcoholic in college to a grown up human being after graduating? |

Those who don't, generally become high-functioning alcoholics in the workplace. ... Then you either quit entirely on your own fruition or due to a health scare; or drink more than average until you die. |
