Were you a daily drinker or every other day?
I am very curious to find out how many daily drinkers we have vs people who binge drink or drink heavily every few days.
Please take this poll! Thanks!

Hi Shelly!! Near the end of my drinking I was drinking every other day, just because I was sick from drinking the night before....I tried to just drink on the weekends, but never made it that far...
However in the early days of my drinking, I was more of a weekend drinker...but one heavy one!! just shows how slippery the slop gets....

The poll doesn't really fit me... I mean, when?
First 5 years: Friday evening, 1/2 750 bottle
Second 5 years: Friday & Saturday: full 750 bottle
Third 5 years: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, & Wednesday: 2 750 bottles plus beer.
Last 5 years: Anytime I can get away with it, 2-3 bottles plus a case or two of beer.
I live a flexible lifestyle, and that just made it easier to hide. As long as I could function in public as much as was necessary, I could drink the rest of the time. Scheduling drinking (amount I could drink vs. time to sober up to function) became an art form. What a waste of time. (i.e., life)
When did I drink? Yes!

I was only NOT drinking for 9 days total in 2009....and it was not by choice, i was hospitalized for a neuro issue...once i was discharged, I waited about 3 days then started up again, escalating...to where I drank from the time I got home from work, until the time I fell asleep...drinking to help me sleep....
when I didn't go to work for the day, I would start when I got up and the day went downhill from there.

I can really relate to that. I've thought back about how many days I actually did not drink. I think in 2009 I maybe had three days off? That's when I had the flu.

Every waking minute that I wasn't at work, morning till sleep, would even drink when I would get up to use the bathroom at nite (would bring two beers to bed with me every nite). Drink when I was sick, wouldn't go out to eat unless they served beer, have brought beer on bike rides around town in my water bottle, and so on. Little more than month later being sober I can't believe the life I was living and all the things I was missing out on just so I wouldn't go without. What a waste! Flip.

Beer first thing in the morning (usually motivated me to get my day started aka an eye-opener)
Frequently drank during the day while I was at work
Always drank during the day on a day off
Always drank in the evening
x8 years of that gave me the liver the size of a small puppy
