Heavily every weekend from the age of 15 to 19. Every single day from the age of 20 to 37.
On week days I would start while driving home from work. Usually 2 - 6 beers, then 2 - 5 glasses of wine while cooking dinner and eating, afterwards, several strong bourbon over ice drinks.
Weekends were they're own craziness.
Oddly enough I did all of this while obtaining multiple pilots licenses and ratings as well as going from an entry level position in my current job ( not aviation related ) to running the entire operation with 35 employees in 10 years.
It's amazing i didn't blow all that but somehow I kept up with life, someone or something was looking out for me for sure!
The past 18 months however have been terrible, it's like my body went from a mid 30s guy to a near hopeless alcohol dependant loser overnight.
Sorry if I got off subject there.
