For the last few years, I was drinking daily.
It didn't start that way though. It was progressive. I began by just drinking ocassionally at weekends. Then it was every weekend. Then it was binge drinking every weekend.
Before long, the weekend binge drinking was bad enough that I'd have to have a drink on Monday to get over the hangover from the Sunday session. Then I started allowing myself a drink on Wednesday nights too, because I figured that four nights a week wasn't too bad. This was just drinking at home by the way - if I was out after work, I'd happily drink on Tuesday, Thurs and Friday as well.
The last few years though I drank every day and always at home. I wouldn't go out, because I couldn't drink without getting drunk and I couldn't be trusted not to make a fool of myself.
My life back then was pretty damn sad.
