    I don’t think I’ve been “drunk” in at least 10 years or so. But, I tend to have one drink most days after work.

    1 beer about 5 days per week. Second beer maybe once or twice a month. Haven’t been drunk in probably 5 years or so.

    Essentially the same as when I was in college except when I was in college it was social drinking. I try to not drink a lot, so sometimes I’ll just stop after two or three a day, some days I have none. It basically starts with me not buying alcohol, when I only have expensive wine and stuff I tend not to casually drink. But I don’t drink if I drive, if I work or if I have stuff to do later.

    At the moment? Once or twice a week maybe. And only one or two drinks. A few years ago it was a lot more. But then I was living in a condo downtown with a top notch cocktail bar on the block. I was out most nights doing something or other.

    About 12 drinks per week on average (1 drink = ~1oz of at least 40% alcohol). It mostly depends on what I have on hand. If I have a good bottle of Cognac, Bourbon, or Scotch I will probably have 2-3 drinks every night until it’s gone. If I just have a handle of Kirkland Signature then I may only have 3-4 drinks a week.

    A few times a year. Usually in the summer when I’m outside grilling. Drank a fair amount in my 20s. Then I had kids. I didn’t want to be hungover and having to deal with kids. Also didn’t have time to drink after kids.

    Rarely. Maybe one drink every other week or so.

    I want to enjoy what I’m drinking. I like Islay single malts. I can’t afford the Islay single malts that I really like anymore. So…

    A beer or bourbon a few times a week depending on how wound up I am after work. Haven’t actually drank enough to get drunk in months. The last few times I did it was hitting me weird and just making me tired anyway.

    Depends. 4 litres of Wine a week or 750 ml of Whiskey can be considered standard with long gaps in-between.

    I have one beer most nights now, since like a year ago. I never drink more or anything else other than a glass of wine instead occasionally. Before that, maybe once a month. I’m not in race shape (bicycle) any more but for my 30’s, I’m in far better shape than most.

    Never. I have this weird thing where my liver doesn’t process it correctly. If I have one beer I’ll throw up for 3 days.

    https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17659-alcohol-intolerance

    "When most people ingest alcohol, which contains ethanol:

    An enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) helps metabolize (process) the ethanol.

    Your liver converts the ethanol to acetaldehyde, a substance that can cause cell damage.

    Another enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) helps convert acetaldehyde to acetic acid (vinegar), which is nontoxic.

    In people with alcohol intolerance, a genetic mutation (change) makes ALDH2 less active or inactive. As a result, your body can’t convert acetaldehyde to acetic acid. Acetaldehyde starts to build up in your blood and tissues, causing symptoms."
