Hi guys,

Drinking in excess as we know isn't good.

How much was everybody drinking at the height of their problem.

I was hitting 5 or 6 pints and a bottle of wine after work.

Not good is it. The damage that I must have been doing to myself is frightening.

I've had a good day at work today business wise and I'm going to celebrate in the garden with a cup of tea. The weather is gorgeous here at the moment.

Bruno.

I was drinking 2+ pints of Vodka a day. Each day was an absolute haze . . . alcohol-hell, really. I was worthless. After almost a year of sobriety (1-year on the 27th of this month), I am still amazed at how efficient I am when not drinking. I almost feel superhuman.

Makes me want to vomit when thinking about those days. Urrgh

Hey Bruno,

I think I was probably drinking about the same as you but I never had a 'peak' as such because I've drank like that since I was 18. There were times which were worse than others though. Ultimately I don't think it really matters...the only reason I ever really wanted to know how much other people drank was so I could compare myself to them and try and convince myself I wasn't an alcoholic. I was actually relieved that there are people on here that drank less than me and still considered it enough of a problem to quit

2 bottles of wine every night. Open a sparkling rose at 8 then a Pinot grigio at 10.
On a night out you could throw a few beers in there too and maybe a cocktail.

Hi Bruno

It was 4-6 500ml cans of 5% beer for me typically, sometimes more. Some days I wouldn't drink, but most days was 4 or more cans (I could never see the point of drinking fewer). Weekends this rose typically to 6-8 cans at least on one day, though I would often have one dry weekend day.

pinkroses

Between 16-20 drinks on my heavy days.

My last drunk day I swear I had near 30 drinks, between beer, shots and mixers. Terrible. And I'm a 5'5 140lb woman. I had the shakes for 3 days after that.

soberlicious

Way too freakin much. period.

Zube

15 beers after work every night, and a case of beer every Saturday and Sunday.

Wow, the amount of alcohol some of you were drinking is staggering to me.
My last relapse I drank about a pint of bourbon and 12 beers over a 3 day period. I just turned 50 so I guess my age has turned me into a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. The biggest reason for me to quit was the horrible hangovers after only a few drinks.

LoveMeSomeBeer

...and I was drinking LOTS of wine first thing in the morning (on Sat and Sun), and then pass out early afternoon, then grab a bite and hit the beer. My wife would get home from work around 7:30 that night (nurse). This pattern allowed me to stay coherent and keep her from noticing.

Not proud.

Fallow

6-8 drinks on drunken nights. 1-3 drinks on most other nights. Drunken nights 1 or 2 days a week.

Between 200ml and 500ml of 80 proof on a normal night. And once or twice a week (or on vacation) I'd day drink and polish off a bottle between waking up and going to sleep.

In the end, enough to float a battleship.

Easyrider

Before I quit I was having 8 cans every night then probably 12 on fridays and saturdays, then drank all day on sundays maybe 16. Then there's the days (not often but still bad) where fuelled by cocaine god only knows how much I would drink. Sitting here sober as a stone it...I don't know what to think. If ever I think, maybe I don't have a problem I can come back and read this post!

I could drink anywhere from 12 to 24 beers in a night. If I was on vacation or at a show and started around 11 AM, a lot more!

SOBERINNEPA

One bottle of Stoli between 4:30 and 8:30 PM with two beers for a chaser. Nightly.

Up to a case of beer a day mainly. Sometimes a fifth of vodka or blended whiskey.

sugarbear1

I drank enough not to care about anyone or anything and to pass out with.... and enough last night then became illness in the morning and for most of the day until I could drink once again....

DryScotsman

Between 6 and 8 pint cans of lager a night cut with half a bottle of vodka.

If I didn't have beer and vodka then up to 3/4 a bottle of whisky a night.

IslandGirl1203

1-2 bottles of wine a night
