How much are you drinking?

[martin grant]

Most weeks I'll have a drink 5 nights a week. Usually I'll take Monday and Tuesday off, give myself a wee rest. When I do drink I'll probably have a couple of drams in the house. If one unit of alcohol is one dram, one glass of wine or a half pint of beer, how much are you drinking?

By the time you add in a couple of glasses of wine (and the odd cocktail!) I reckon I get through about 15 units a week. How does this compare with everyone else?

Martin cocktails don't count they are free units . As they are girly dinks and come under the banner of slimfast.

[Wave]

5~10 'units'
I really don't drink all that much now and haven't for the last several years ...Doctor's orders.


Cheers!

Sorry, should have previously mentioned - same rule applies to white zinfandel

[Feldrin]

5-10 units...I think (or perhaps I should say, hope)

I've gone down to limiting a 'dram' to 1cl if I'm tasting a lot in an evening. Otherwise, I pour 2-3cl and usually not have more then 2 drams. Neither my body nor my budget whishes to be stretched to the limit so I'm quite happy with small amounts. And heck, if I really want to enjoy the evening I pour something from Islay which afterwards stays in my mouth and nostrils for another half an hour or so. Lovely finishes always.

Around the 20 mark for me with about 6-8 units being beer, the rest being whisky.

Missus normally makes up cocktails when I have whisky so maybe a couple of these too (but they're just juice and don't count).

Too much, and not enough.

Brilliant Les your killing me here ....





Sorry Martin but it was funny.... good come back though with the white Zin...

What's a unit? I think mine are 5-6 cl. Several on Friday and Saturday night. Only occasionally do I have some Sunday through Thursday. "After 8 or 9 though, it's liable to degenerate into drinking."

[Quaichuser]

I'd have to say 5 or 6 but since I haven't used a shot glass in 30yrs it's probably closer to 10.

I might say two fingers worth but depending on the stress of the day that could be 2 and thumb's worth ...or 1st and 4th.

25+ I drink to forget - what was the question again?

[LeoDLion]

One drink before dinner, another drink while eating. After eating, none. So that adds up to two.

If I am on vacation, all restrictions are off. I drink whenever I like too.
