FabSwingers.com forum: How much do you drink

Like during the week, I'm only saying generally as I know at Christmas and other times of the year it possibly doubles in a normal week, then some months barely anything.

I'd say I drink equivalent bottle and half of wine a week.

Twice a year tops depending on how many work parties we have.

So that's one work party a year (which rarely happens) and 1 freebie after work Xmas day.

Don't drink during the week, just 2 or 3 weekends a month when I go out drinking, it's usually a lot when I go out as I drink to get d*unk only. I'll drink double gins but we'll all get a round of shots in with our own drinks so sometimes 3 or 4 shots each with one round of drinks.

I think that’s rubbish.

Surely alcoholism is a ‘need’ to drink, which could be more or less in quantity.

I have a glass of Guinness with my dinner most nights.

If I haven’t been to the supermarket and don’t have any, then I don’t drink

I'm sorry, that's utter gibberish.

Alcoholism is about dependency, not volume.

Not much. I don’t really have a weekly total. If I go out on a night out I’ll have quite a few. Then I might not drink for 2 or 3 months. Sometimes I’ll have a gin or wine at home but not often. It I want one I have one. Bit like smoking. If I want one I’ll have one but it could be weeks/months.

Occasionally I'll have some wine or gin, maybe once every 6 weeks. I'm a terrible lightweight so will feel crap the next day after only 2 or 3 glasses of wine. That's why I don't do it more frequently.

On average about 6 pints and 3 bottles of wine a weekend and nothing midweek.

If out then much more.

I have a glass of wine every night along with my evening meal, at other times it depends on how good the company is.

I wouldn't worry about it too much op. If you believe in the teachings of the good book, have a look at 1st Timothy, chapter 5, very 23, and by doing as Paul suggests there, it should save you from having to spend all eternity stokering up the boilers for old nick.

I'm not very clued on the good book, however I've heard of this verse before and I think what the metaphor is trying to capture is that sometimes you should use things that could be seen as bad if it means the usual is going to somehow not do you any good.
