In 2017 I used to drink like 30-35 standard drinks a week. Every other week I'd go through a handle of vodka, giant bottle of sake, and few cans of cider/other stuff and was drunk enough I'd make bad decisions like joining Kiwifarms. Then I decided to get a real job that wasn't just to support my drinking habit and start looking for a place to live that wasn't my parent's basement so outside of the scamdemic years it's been like 5-10 standard drinks a week, usually on the lower end. I spend more than I used to though since now I buy 40 dollar bottles of rum that take about 3-4 weeks to drink.

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

That's the way it starts.

I've been a functional alcoholic for nearly half of my life. A year ago I was drinking five or six cases of beer a week. I'm down to two or three now. Age started creeping up on me and I couldn't drink that much and live a proper lifestyle anymore so I've been weening myself down. My brother went into AA around my age and as far as I'm concerned that's a damn cult. It's too complicated to explain. He's happy in his life now though and I'm happy for him.

unfortunately that video doesnt play for me.

yeah I get what youre saying, although im older and been drinking for years, so im already on the down swing when it comes to alcoholic consumption, I cant knock back drinks like I used to be able to, its just not pleasurable like that anymore
 
I might have a beer or a few shots on special occasions or celebrations, but I don't regularly drink. I used to go out drinking with friends quite often and get absolutely torn the fuck up at bonfires.

Now that most of the group has grown up, gotten their shit together, started families, moved away, etc, I seldom drink. I've pretty much always been a strictly social drinker. Don't really have a reason to drink by myself. Getting drunk usually just ends in me getting stupid emotional and that's not something I cope with well by myself. Not really a mean or aggressive drunk, just a whiney one.
 
I seriously cut down drinking along with quitting smoking at the start of this week, after drinking sort of heavily every day for almost seven years. I cut out spirits and wine last year to just beer and cider, but as of last week I was on anywhere between ten and twenty beers/ciders a day, with more at weekends. Right now I drink three or four pints of beer every day with a friend at a bar after work, but on Monday I'll cut that back to just one.

As for water, at least a gallon/four litres a day.
 
Probably too much and having a high tolerance makes it an expensive habit. I've been cutting it down a lot after seeing Rackets going down the Ralph path because of his drinking.
 
I generally have a 375ml bottle or two of vodka in a week (usually one) and generally drink a full bottle in a sitting. I drink alone, I think I've only ever had a drink with other people twice in my whole life. Been cutting down a bit since I'm trying to lose weight.
 
Zero alcohol, for just over 5 years now I've got myself sober and kept sober.

At my worst 70cl or 1ltr bottle of rum a day, and some beers I was a physical, mental and emotional wreck before the end and I'm now back on track doing better than ever before, healthier, happier, more fulfilled.

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.

Listen mate it's not going to be easy BUT that's exactly the sort of thing you should take not as a wakeup call, but a fucking cricket bat with the words GET HELP getting slapped into your face, it doesn't have to be AA (that program isn't for everyone) it could be a friend or family member you trust, a more 1 on 1 program, or a different group therapy program but you need to get help now while your in the frame of mind to get help before you nose dive into a harder to escape situation.

I'll have a 12 pack then not drink the rest of the week but I usually can't finish it anymore because my stomach is fucked up
 
I usually get through half a box of goon a week, which works out to around 3 standard drinks a day. Most nights I'll have 1-2 drinks, and then a few extras on weekends.
 
Zero. If I'm out with the boys, I would get a non-alcoholic beer.

Constant drinking is low-life shit.
 
Zero.

Never acquired a taste for alcohol. Which is probably a good thing because there's a lot of drunks and addicts in my family.
 
every friday when the sunsets ill polish off a good amount of evanwillams honey , or honey flavored whiskey. or if its a holiday or occasion i will pull out the blue label

but if your really asking if you may be drinking to much go to a doctor and check your liver out but if you want a personal opinion<as long as you don't reek of it at work and its not affecting your work production fuck it.
