For the past year and a half I was a nightly drinker. I had bet 3 and 7 mixed drinks a night, usually vodka and diet ginger ale. I was hungover every day, and blacked out more often than not. I drank mostly at home with my husband.

I was good for a fifth of whiskey plus a few shots of Jager.

3 nights a week (1) 750 ml of wine, sometimes an extra glass if I had more in the house ..more on weekends, especially in the summer because I would start earlier while around the pool!!!!! Would usually lay off 2 nites a week for "recovery" purposes! LOTS of empty sugar calories!!

I didn't drink every night, was a binge drinker, so maybe 2-3 times a week.
I drank only beer, anywhere b/w 6-12 or more in a sitting, usually I would pass out, somewhere in the house. Once I had left the stove on, thank god, I didn't burn the house down.
Did most of my drinking alone, didn't want anyone to know or stop me.
Thank God those days are over, celebrated 1 year sober July 30th or 31st.

I wish I could accurately describe my drinking patterns as looking back it is foggy (now 6 weeks sober).
At the end of my latest "drinking career" wanted to stop but couldnt so tried desperate bids to control.. by tipping a little wine out after opening bottle...measuring and documenting intake etc etc . It might not sound that bad, but to me this was painful and not normal.
I believe it is not how much or how often one imbibes but what the end result is ..my personality changed quite dramatically even after just 1 drink, to being someone quite repulsive..the post depression,withdrawals just worsening as time wore on..life going backwards..

Can't remember. Enough to get me fired and 3 times detox.
But l do know l used to think "Oh.. l should not have had that last one..."
Truth was, l should not have had that first one

I think the problems alcohol cause are the important thing to look at rather than the amounts we drank, but to answer the question- Near the end of my drinking I was up to a fifth and a half of Vodka a night until I blacked out.

Suprised my liver didn't check out years ago to be honest.

Weeknights 12-18 beers afterwork/into the evening
Weekends 20-30 beers a day

I'm so happy that I somehow came across this site otherwise I'd still be at it.

Hard to judge. I drank every night (and during daytime on weekends, sometimes), with rare exceptions, for about six-seven years. I considered it very good if I only drank 3 drinks (since these were often cocktails I mixed for myself, that really means nothing . . . you can get a lot of liquor into a 10 oz tumbler); I considered it "normal"/not really a big deal to drink 6, which was to me a bottle of wine plus a few of these "mixed drinks." (Oh, how afraid I sometimes was that someone would grab my drink by accident.) On a bender night, who the heck knows? It wasn't abnormal for me to go out several times a week and have 8-12 at the bar.

Work days: 4-6 glasses of wine after a work shift.
Days off: 6-15 glasses, spaced throughout the day and evening.
I would go through 5-7 litres of wine in a week.

UUgh I was drinking about a 26oz bottle of vodka a day, everyday if not more.
I don't know how i functioned. well I guess I didn't really.

qs4thinking

what's really scary is i drink more than some of you

hollybear

wow reading all these amounts its amazing many of us are still alive!
We should all be counting our lucky stars that we've been given a second chance... I'm feeling very grateful for life right now

AMEN to that

Depended on the day really and if I was trying to be good or would let myself be bad. I could go from none a day to one a day....then on to a couple gulps from the vodka handle in secret and a beer or two in public so my wife knows I was drinking something. However I was always trapped when she wondered how i got so drunk on two beers.

shaun00

all of it.

I drank 18 beers a day. Around here they call them tractor pistons. 24 oz. Budweiser everyday for about 7 years. Of course the weekend came and anything was possible. So glad I've been sober for a few years now.

I am a binge drinker. Can go a month without anything.. Then a business lunch would turn into a liquid one and we would drink all afternoon untila bout 11pm or so.. Next day was always tough, but 3-5 pints of beer at lunch would take care of that...

So really, 20-30 drinks per day during my binge. Complete insanity.

I would also only hang out with people/clients who drank like I did...

Weekdays:around 18-20 beers
Weekends:I'm embarrased to admit.
