So over the past year I've noticed my drinking had crept up, despite still living an overall ostensibly healthy lifestyle. I've had thoughts I ought to reform for a few months now, but the weekend comes around and then... well, you know.

Currently sinking three bottles of red per week, and maybe every other week I'll have a large vodka rocks midway through the work week (triple measure more or less.)

How much is too much? I half justify it by saying I'm a fairly large man, but that ain't it.
 
Shoot for zero. Alcohol stops gains. Drop the red and pick up some whey.
 
I drink about 2-3 beers a day. this is sort of excessive (by my own standards) but still objectively moderate

to clarify, I drink because im bored not because I crave it. if I wasnt so bored and had a more exciting lifestyle then I probably wouldnt drink everyday
 
Nothing, and you should be drinking water too anyway. You are mostly water, give your body the shit it needs, not literal poison and a depressant. Abused it at college age in the service, and do not miss it now.
 
Three to four ounces of whiskey per day

I like the way it tastes man, I can't help it

That said, if I only had shitty whiskey like Canadian Club at hand, then I'd probably stop drinking altogether
 
Too much milk. Probably has more sugar than diet coke, right? Eh.
 
I find if I drink too much pretty quickly other negative physical symptoms creep up and cancel out any (already minor) positive effects. Absentminded drinking is the most dangerous option, the kind where you aren't paying attention.
Plus it's one of the easiest ways to completely throw off your sleep schedule.

So idk, 2-3 drinks a night, liquor diluted with water and sugar free drink mix.

In terms of water though quite a bit, like up to 2 gallons a day most times. Just keep a gallon jug with you and refill it.

Also usually two cups of green tea.

That's about all of the fluids that enter my body.
 
As of today, 30 day moving average, 11.55 drinks a week (1.65 a day).

For men heavy drinking is defined as 14 a week (2 a day) and higher. I'm trying to aim at 1.5 and then work down from there.
 
I literally just missed a flight today due to overdrinking at the airport bar and passing out. I didn't think I had a problem, but this shit doesn't happen to functional people. I guess I need to reevaluate things. Fuck.
 
I drank heavily for years but was up to a 5th a day from 2018-2020 and that started creeping up to an additional pint with covid. Went to rehab, been sober for over a year now. ... its nice.
sucked for a long time though
 
i tend to drink around 8 cups of water a day. i also drink a cup of oatmilk as part of a protein shake every day. i also drink a few cups of herbal tea during some weeks. on occasion i also consume sugar free powerade. ive been alcohol free for 5 years, ive avoided caffeeine for two years, and ive consistently been avoiding sugary drinks for a year, but with a few here or there. you've got to take care of your body.
 
Not much. I’ll typically drink a beer (dark stouts or porters) with dinner every night, but I don’t really drink hard liquor or cocktails unless it’s a holiday I’m celebrating with family.

I've learned that if I allow myself to drink on my own it quickly becomes a problem, so at most a beer or cocktail in a social setting.

There's three big bits of folk wisdom to follow, never drink alone, never drink liquor, and never drink to get drunk (which eliminates the point of most drinking).

I'd also advise myself/a younger man that if a person doesn't already drink, it is a terrible idea to start, not because it is a net negative to most people - it isn't - but because if you're in that small minority of people who will have a problem with it, it's disastrously bad. (Low chance of catastrophe for a high chance of small benefits.)
