An important ? to me about your alls history
Hi, so yes I am doing some research and I came to ask you all 3 questions:
1)how long did you drink for?
2)how often in like a week span?
3)what did you drink mostly?
I would be very grateful if clean or anyone still in the throws of alcohol abuse can answer my questions. Thank You!!!

Depended. A lot of weeks I would only drink 2 or 3 days (weekends), other times I would drink every day and then reel it in back to just weekends.
Wine. Wine. And more wine.
Wow, that is alot. I made this thread because a co-worker who didn't know aa or alcohol treatment programs existed asked me these same questions and wondered how many other people consume as much as I did.
Me:
I drank for 8 years, drank everyday of the week and drank about a 12 pack of beer a day.
Thanks for the comparisons so far everyone.

I drank for 20 years, started off a weekend binger, eventually drank all day every day, preferred beer, but particularly in the later years drank whatever was available or I could afford.

1 ) Lets See, I'm 52 now. Started probably around 18, right when I went to college. So 30+ years.
2 ) Binger pretty much since then. 2-3 sometimes 4 a week. Didn't really start getting bad until about 5 or 6 years ago when I started keeping hard liquor in the house. Before that I'd actually stop once I caught a buzz, before I'd pass out or fall asleep
3 ) Beer and whiskey earlier, then beer and vodka. The taste of whiskey wore on me.

2. Maintenence of at least 1 bottle of wine a day, but binged every other day or two. Sprinkled with "benders" lasting 3-4 days here and there-drunk full time. Rinse and repeat.
3. You name it, I drank it. Used to be vodka and wine. Then I "scaled back" to tequila, wine, beer. (Normally- but add whatever combo you like)
REAL EYEOPENER to write this out and read it. A first for me...

I'm 34 now, and i would say I've been an alcoholic since I was 21. I started early, mostly binge drinking and with anything I could get my hands on. At my worst I was drinking around a gallon of vodka every day and half to two days. I almost died several times. Ruined careers and a marriage. Went to mental institutions, ER's, and jail. Still struggle but now have a great full time job and stay in contact with AA members and recovery groups.
20+ years
Every day
Mostly beer (and lots of it) but also shots with the beer if I was at a bar or nightclub.
Some of those years also included drugs (anything I didn't have to shoot up) in addition to the beer/shots.

Thirty five years-ouch, it kills me to see how much time I wasted...
Mostly weekend binge drinking when younger, but 3-4 nights a week as I got older and it progressed.
Beer when younger, Captain Morgan after that. Vodka when I was trying to cut back, which never worked well.
