FabSwingers.com forum: Alcohol : how much do you drink?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

On the news today they were advising 45-65 (I think that was the ages) to have at least two alcohol free days a week.

I’ve had two bottles of beer since Christmas. It doesn’t bother me and I am happy to stick to soft drinks when out. It’s for health reasons too that I just decided I’d sooner not drink nowadays.

Hardly any. Since Christmas I've had half a Somersby cider, a shot of rhubarb vodka in and a bottle of strawberry and lime cider.

I used to drink about 10 pints on a night out at the weekend, now quite a few of ma mates have sadly passed away with alcohol related problems, so I don't drink that much these days.

Phil Lynott still owes me a pint as well the bastard

We used to drink beer and wine most evenings at home but various medication put paid to that most enjoyable pastime

I rather partial to a nice gin, I probably drink far too much of it, if I'm honest.
