Tuesday's I normally drink a fair  bit...5 pints and many whiskeys.  If I'm gigging weekends I'll probably have 1 or 2 as I want to stay the top of my game, if not I'll buy a pack of 4 beers and drink them while watching a film or playing PS3 with Alice. Maybe an odd pint or can during the week.

Less than monthly. Stomach can't handle it; I feel like utter shit the next day even if I only have a couple of drinks. But I do enjoy it.

I don't. I've never been drunk. I've been buzzed on wine 2 or 3 times, but that's it.

However. My friends have informed me that on my 21st birthday (this December) they're taking me to Austin, Texas to get me shitfaced. Apparently there's a bar street in Austin where if you can prove it's your 21st birthday, you get free shots at each bar. So I guess I'm looking forward to that. :lol

I really want to be there to witness this.

Gadough, get ready for two things:

1) For your friends to get you a lot of Jägermeister.
2) To throw up a lot.

About 10-15 drinks per week.   Mostly beer, but sometimes wine.  I just had 3-4 glasses of wine with dinner last night.  And 2 beers after playing hockey the night before that.   And I'll probably have about 5-6 beers when I shoot pool with my buddy in the city this friday nite.   And another 4 beers to go with my buffalo wings after playing a round of golf this coming saturday afternoon.   Maybe another 2-3 on sunday when I'm watching baseball or hockey playoffs on TV.

Hardly ever. I probably add up to two drinks (beer equivalence) per month.

Umm...beer is drinking alcohol.

If we were just talking about hard liquor, my answer would be quite different, cause beer is the only alcohol I drink. My booze days are over.

Got tipsy once. Haven't drank for a while due to being underage. Probably won't drink that much after hitting 21, either.

It changes, to be honest. Sometimes I drink almost daily but sometimes which I mean maybe a "year" I don't even drink. So there are no options for me. But maybe statistically monthly basis option is where I belong.

Since being able to drink like a man is an honorable trait, I'll throw out a couple of pieces of advice.  Eat a nice meal before hand, and I'd advise against Tex-mex.  A good CFS will serve you well.  In between shots, alternate between beer and a glass of ice water.  If nothing else it'll help you feel a little better the next morning, and the three beers you skip might be the differnce between looking cool and projectile vomiting all over 6th Street.  Most importantly, if you're going to smoke grass during this occasion, only do it before you start drinking.  Don't smoke after you commence hard drinking.  As plenty here will attest, few things suck worse than the spins.

I probably drink on a monthly basis. I seldom get "drunk" unless I'm at a party (infrequent), camping (even more infrequent) or over at my buddy's place and we're playing Rock Band (this is probably once a month), and even then it's four or five beers and that's all. I was never a big drinker in university either - I had a couple nights where my drink count hit double digits, but there were probably about 4 or five of those across the entire time I was there.

Rarely. I only drink every now and then socially at parties, and even then it's only one or two drinks if I'm feeling dangerous and edgy.
