Half the GB are alcoholics

[Noor]

okay, I could be wrong, could be more than half

I am kind of wondering if most of the US is. I know very few people who don't drink at all except AA members, and very few who don't at least episodically drink to excess.

Poll to follow

 

[IrezumiKiss]

I prefer the term "self-medicators."

 

[unregistered]

 

[pointless]

only half?

 

[Wings]

I voted wine with meals but that's really only occasionally. I am not for or against drinking, I just don't do it often.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I have a drink and a good book when I go to bed.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I don't drink at all. I've never been drunk. Not my thing.

My brother in law is always trying to get me to taste his high end alcohol collections. They all taste like vulture piss.

 

[Adre]

I enjoy vodka and wine on a daily basis.

 

[remy_lebeau8]

I drink a beer just about everyday and whiskey a few times a week

 

[smoothg103rd]

I'll say I'm tipsy at least one a week.

 

[domroger]

Stopped drinking regularly when smoking was banned in bars .

Edit .
It did wonders for my weight ,lost about a 100 lbs ,now I am cuddly instead of a fat bastard .

 

[RjThoughts]

I used to drink and drink well

Used to piss off my wife, the more I drank, the better I talked and walk, plus it would make me hornier, sometimes hungry as shit, too!

I stopped when I realized I had 6 long-neck Michelobs, 6 rum and Pepsis, and 8 "Fireballs" - cinnamon schnapps with hot sauce dropped in - over a 7 hour period and was not feeling it, wasn't feeling any different. I was stammering like normal, tripping over my own feet like usual. And...I didn't want to eat!

So, I gave up the demon alcohol to excess that night, went to a beer or two, drink toasts at weddings....

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I'm not opposed to alcohol, I simply go years without it and never give it a thought.

 

[pink]

I go months and never think about it.

 

[yossi]

I'll drink socially, usually either wine or tequila, but more often than not I'm the designated. I've never been drunk enough to have a hangover, but I've been more than tipsy. I might have a drink once a month and maybe two or three times a year have more than that in a sitting.

 

[Tryharder62]

I got drunk once when I was a teen and it kind of cured me of ever wanting it. I just don't like that taste of most drinks.

 

[Wife of Bath]

I have a drink very occasionally. Maybe once or twice a month. Never more than one.

 

[parodyluvr75]

I enjoy drinking but I do it in moderation, once a week, if that often.

 

[Noor]

I don't drink, never have. I don't like the taste.

 

[butters]

can drink a fair bit on special occasions, but normally one or two bottles of wine over the course of a month, sometimes one bottle of wine one week, a quarter-size bottle of whiskey/brandy or rum instead of the other bottle of wine. this month i bought 4 bottles of wine that were heavily reduced, and i'll likely drink them one bottle a week.

 

[Aquagal]

None of your poll options fit me. I drink socially or occasionally wine with dinner. Once in a while I'll make a drink when I know I don't have to do anything or drive anywhere. I made a cocktail last Saturday after the day from hell. The previous drink was New Years Eve.

I like wine with steak.
Beer with pizza.
Milk with lasagna or spaghetti.

I doubt I'd drink beer with cardboard pizza though.

 

[Mr Noone]

A bottle of wine with my evening meal.

 

[SBroadB9]

I checked the box "wine with meals", as it was about the closest to the way I drink. I will have a glass of wine, or a beer, with a meal. Maybe 2-3 times a month. It's been several decades since I last had too much to drink. As Kristofferson said, the going up ain't worth the coming down.

 

[Saint Peter]

I can drink all of you pussies under the table.

 

[Aquagal]

I can drink all of you pussies under the table.

It's usually already under the table.
