Default What do you drink & how much a week?

I personally don't really like beer,wine or spirits cause i have tried the lot and one way or another they either make me feel sick or give me a hell of a hangover.I've been drinking apple cider for awhile now(8.2%) and have two 1.25 bottles in the weekends on a friday or saturday and it is just right for me.Saying that how much do you drink a week and what and why?.

Depends if i go out or not, If i do then it's a few shots and beers' or spirits depending on what i feel like, otherwise in any other week, generally a casual beer or 3. Why, purely social, out with my mates.

Beer usually does nothing for me, though sometimes one goes down nice. Usually Drink Jack Daniels & Coke. Mainly only drink on weekends at the pub...

Have the odd beer here and there after work ... maybe once a week though ... sometimes if that. I barely even get the time to get a drink in really.

Might have a glass of wine with dinner on a rare occasion ... but don't mind a nice port later in the evening on a cold night.

Drank jacks and coke for my Heathcote trip, but usually hit the woodstock 440 cans to save dollars, or beer if I'm at the pub. At the moment I am not spending much, got a car to spray, and other bills. Usually if i'm on a night out I spend around 150, but those nights are rare. I stop in at the pub Wednesday, Thursday, Friday for knock offs, usually have Saturdays off to compensate.

I still have a bottle of jacks I opened 2 years ago and it is still 3/4 full. I drink about a 6pack a year.

I don't drink, but my old man 50 and a motorcycle enthusiast ;) drinks more than anyone I've ever met

He drinks at least 1 bottle of red wine a day chilled and countless cans and stubbies and you'd never know other than the gut, been to visit once and he had 2 bottles of wine and a dozen cans/stubbies and was still thirsty LOL alcoholic much.... Mind you this is every day he drinks a bottle of wine if it's finished off at lunch then it's a new one dinner time, if not it's finished off with diner, everyday..... Supprised he's lived this long... Side note I think heavy duty livers run in the family, I used to drink, and drink shedloads too both me and the old man don't get hangovers and it takes a lot to get tipsy, I mean a lot..

Only drink at social occasions. With the friends all starting to have kids and less time to catch up, those occasions are getting few and far between.
Even being married to a winemaker doesn't increase the wine intake at all.
The choice of drink is either beer or scotch and coke.

We already have enough alcohol discussion here, there are much better topics to be discussed on an automotive forum.
