GF Census: Drinking

[Elanor]

I would say I am an occasional drinker. I probably have about 2 bottles of wine per month on average, with the occasional beer or cider. I drink because I like the taste, not to get drunk. I hate being drunk, and I don't understand people who go out, get pissed and throw up. There is no fun in that at all.

The last week or two, I have probably drunk far too much, especially NYE. I am going to join ginock in no alcohol in January, it can only be a good thing.

I'm another 'Rarely' because I probably have 2-3 glasses of wine a year.

 

[CaptainObvious]

I'm going with rarely because every now and then I'll have a beer or a glass of wine, or some Gentleman Jack and Coke. I'll go about 2-3 months without a drink and when I do it's one to two drinks at the most.

 

[Envy]

I never drink.

I tried a couple of drinks a couple of months after I turned 21 (and I mean literally on one day and outing). All I ended up doing was taking sips. I found nothing appealing about them at all, and seeing as they would have adverse effects on me, it wasn't a taste worth acquiring, at all.

I don't drink for the sake of drinking, I drink when it's hot weather and I need to cool down and when I am out with friends or on a holiday where I know I won't be driving anywhere.

I used to drink pretty heavily. I'd drink a lot on weekends. That eventually spilled into the week and a couple of years ago, I'd say I had at least two or three stiff drinks a day, for a solid 5-6 months. The hangovers were brutal.

Then, for whatever reason, I just quit cold turkey. I hadn't had a drink in almost 15 months. I broke that to have shot in my brother's honor.

It's been two weeks and I haven't had an urge to take a sip. Here's to another 15 months. Haha.

 

[Impaired]

Occasional. I don't drink every day. I don't drink every week although I generally go out with a friend every week and we often drink a little scotch, but not always.

I do like drinking. I love beer, wine and all kinds of alcoholic beverages.

My scotch collection. I really do like to drink. I've just learned to pace myself. Only took about 35 years.


I've woken up cloudy recently - which I blame on my friend deciding to bring a ice shot luge to all our parties but I can't recall the last time I was hungover.

Both of my daughters (grown) have their parties at our house and my friend always has a shot luge ready.

While we do have a stocked bar of vodka, whisky, wine and such at home, we rarely touch them unless it's a special occasion or we're having friends over. When I do my drinking, it's mostly going out with friends to bars or parties. For the most part, it's just a social thing, but unlike my younger years, now it's half of what I use to consume better in the evening after having a DWI in 2009. I don't wanna go through that again.
