Not quite zero, but closer to zero than 1. Maybe once a month, sometimes not at all. I've got whiskey that was bought as a Christmas present 2 years ago still unopened.

Yep, we've also got unopened whiskey, port, gin, and numerous wines from golf wins and presents. Just realised I've had 1/2 pint Cobra and a white wine spritzer in December. Had a few brews with my Christmas dinner

Every night a large glass of red wine, sometimes if the mood takes me I'll polish off the bottle, if I don't have a glass of wine I'll have at least 1 or 2 bottles (pints) of real ale of various brands that I try, I blame MH for this 😂😂🍺

When I was singing in pubs and clubs I used to have a couple of pints a night and used to work 5 to 6 nights a week, since stopping 6yrs ago I dont drink at all other than the odd bottle, I would guess last year I had 4 pints tops. Now a cup of tea is a different matter.

When the wife had an operation in September she was told no alcohol for at least 6 months, she needs to get her blood checked weekly, anyway today with the Heamatologist Dept appt she asked about having the odd glass of wine once she's allowed, the answer was a little bit surprising, obviously the Doctor said nil would be best but if she was going to drink he would prefer her to have 1 or 2 glasses a night rather than 3 or 4 glasses once or twice a week, the reason being a small steady amount her blood will naturally balance out, were as the other way can cause havoc with the blood levels and lead to false readings.
I use to drink every day, and I mean every one, with no breaks for years. It use to break down something like
Monday-Thursday - 4-5 pints per night (call it 18 per week for argument)
Friday-Saturday - 7-8 pints (call it 8)
Sunday 6-7 (call it 6 as it was quiz night and so there had to be some question answering)
That's 40 pints per week every week. Doing it for so long, I became immune and never struggled with hangovers (if only that was true now) and so never thought I was doing any harm. It came to a head just my 40th (blue lights, do not stop at A&E reception - 3 1/2 weeks in HDU, and allegedly an hour or so from croaking according to several specialists - to my wife not me!). Diabetes as a Brucie bonus. Stopped entirely for five years, and much more circumspect. I do drink but rarely to excess anymore (and the hangovers take a day to clear now).
All my own fault and I take nothing but full responsibility but it was a very stark wake up call. If you are a regular drinker, it may be worth looking at the longer term effects.

Another big fat zero, on average, but would be classed as a binge drinker.
From 17 to 30 was generally out every Friday and Saturday, or Sunday, if I'd missed one of them. Drank till I was "ballooned", as always like a good dance at the end of the night. If I didn't have my dancing legs on by 12.00, I'd go on the cider.
I rarely ever just had 2-3 pints as a social drink, and would then probably just drink soft drinks. It was all (anything between 12-18 drinks) or nothing.
I rarely drink in the house, just the odd Glayva, and normally just one. I will now just drink 2-3 in a social setting, and enjoy them.
I may have only 1 blow out every 3-5 weeks where again I'll drink a good 12 pints or more, but rarely get "wasted" these days.
Can now go years without drinking on a school night, whereas used to do that years ago and go into work the next day, totally hungover. It's not worth it nowadays.

I was. I'd admit but at the time I was in denial and because I could function every day I didn't see it. It was a case of there's the pub with me inside and world revolving around it. I couldn't see it and while I didn't want such an sharp wake up call or the diabetes I guess it was inevitable at some point

I think the elephant in the room has pulled up a chair, ordered a flaggin of ale with a whisky chaser and settled down for the night.
Anyone want nuts?

I love decent wine, good beer, malt whisky, boutique gin and above all, champagne. All fantastic in moderation although I definitely drink too much and am trying to cut down, having Monday to Wednesday off every week despite the fact that my doctor assures me I am in excellent health.
That said, I don't ever envisage being teetotal as I enjoy drinking so much. It is not just the taste although that can be quite exquisite. It is the opportunity to learn and understand new things, invariably bringing shared experiences, often in combination with wonderful food and fabulous times with friends that simply would not occur if everyone was drinking peppermint tea.
I am also wary of anyone that doesn't drink. In the main, they tend to be, in my experience at least, sanctimonious bores with a desperate need to retain control of themselves. There are exceptions of course - my friend Simon is wonderful company and hasn't touched a drop in ten years.
In the main though, non-drinkers tend to be as dull as the drinks they order.

I love a nice red wine, a few beers, not big on shorts although an g&t is not unheard of.
I have been drinking too much recently so have a dry Jan with the wife, it should help us both, then it will be sat evenings only I would say, just playing it by ear but going to try to stick to once or twice a week if I can.
