Usually around 8 drinks a day.

More on weekends.

21 drinks was one of the highest nights I'm able to barely remember.

In the beginning of a binge, it was always a pint of vodka and a 12 pack. By the end, it was usually a litre of vodka and maybe an 18 pack. John

Years 1-2: 375 mL vodka starting at 5 pm til I went to sleep/passed out.
Years 2-5: 500 mL vodka a night, every night 5 pm to pass out/blackout/sleep
Years 5-8 : 600-675 mL vodka, every night 5 pm to pass out/blackout/sleep.
Last year: Tolerance went down, 10-12 beers a night.

Hangovers turned into daily withdrawals around 5 years of nightly drinking.
I had my measurements down to a science.
I was very, very sick in the last two years.

All of it, often.........

Glad you're here with us!

I don't know which is technically worse, but when drinking daily, 4 stiff drinks (doubleshots at least) nightly. Then switched to what would be the equivalent of 750ML a day for the 2 day weekend. The heavy 2 day drinking was much harder on me than the few stiff drinks nightly.

8-12 beers nightly - some with high alcohol content. More on the weekends. Once I consumed nearly a 30 pack on my own in day :/ smh

Glad that's behind me...

I had to stop reading other people's amounts because I didn't want to start comparing, feels like AV bait.
For the last 2 years 6 to 14 high grav beers a day pretty much every day, with occasional nights of wine and liquor consumption which I never measured. Always too much, and it was never enough.

Not sure but the handle in the house never emptied. Lots of empties in tool cabinet in the garage and in the shed though. I guess, like everyone else here the answer is, Too Much, otherwise no one would log onto this forum.

10-12 beers or glasses of wine 3 days per week, usually. But I was scared that I wanted more.

advbike

3-4 microbrews or glasses of wine most evenings for purposes of self medication. Occasionally more.. but I'm a controlling bastard and managed it pretty well. Of course my life was still a mess because of all the unresolved issues with work, money, relationships, etc.

I realize now that my alcoholism kicked in almost immediately after I first started to drink 10 yrs ago. At first less than a bottle of wine would get me blitzed in an evening.. The increase was gradual and sneaky over the years and I was always in denial. In the end it took at least 750ml of vodka to get the same effect. The point being I couldn't stop once I started drinking. One drink would turn that 'switch' on in me. So it was always whatever amount made me pass out

Venecia

Too much, too often. And both increasing progressively.

Until I said "no more."

CaseyW

Like MelindaF, by the end my tolerance was definitely starting to lessen. I wasn't drinking quite as much as I did a few years earlier but it was affecting me mentally and physically worse than ever.

HeartsAfire

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say.

alphaomega

1-2 bottles of wine a night. For years it was every night. Then every other. The yhangovers would last for days.

In the beginning those two bottles of wine would make me throw up in the morning. By the end, they barely got me drunk, I no longer vomited, I just shook from withdrawals.

Venecia

(((((Hearts)))))

At the end, probably about 7 drinks on a standard work night when I had to function the next day. And seriously, that meant if there was literally no other excuse to drink. If I had an excuse to drink, such as a happy hour or social dinner, it would be maybe 8 to 10 drinks? On weekends or trips up to 15 a night, maybe a little more. At my worst days I wouldn't be the least surprised if I reached 20.

I was constantly trying to conceal my level of intake. It actually makes me really sad, because only after I started to get better did people around me reveal that it was obvious that I was drinking in restaurant bathrooms, behind bushes, in my car, for all those years.

Madruski

I must say, reading all these amounts is not productive. But too add, either a bottle of wine a night or 6 pack, then 24 beers on Saturday and wine on Sunday (that's in between binges)

MelindaFlowers

Yep. The quantity was less but the hangovers had entered a different dimension where it felt like my insides were trembling and my head was about to explode and I was going to have a nervous breakdown at work. Luckily I stopped before that happened. But it was close. I could feel it.
