I never used to... always out wining & dining, for the past year or so I've began to have the odd tipple on an evening... however, this has now turned into a 'nightly' thing...

Should I consider 'upping' this curve and look to start teaching myself how to play the penny whistle as well as buying a scrawny mutt... so when the times right I can sit in shop doorways with my can of special brew!

Or am I alright, albeit slightly overdoing things...??

Hard to say, I never used to go out and generally have 2-4 cans a night sat at home with say up to 8 cans on a friday or saturday night, since I was single I was going out every night downing 8-10 pints at least but now Im seeing someone again I dont go out often and rarely drink at home, but when I drink I go for it in a major way. Probably aim for 15 pints with a few shots chucked in.

Drinking at home I never do unless footy is on telly or I have a few lads round. Nothing wrong with staying in and having a couple of social drinks if you have company

Sometimes share a bottle of wine at home, but thats about it, very rarely drink more than that unless we have company

Shark Man

Just a social drinker, me.

Although am partial to the odd tipple after getting back in from the pub

Not entirely work safe....

Ditch the cans and get straight on the Whisky

sti-04!!

Case of beer gets done in during the week most of the time & if i am not out there is usually people at mines over the course of the weekend & can skelp a fair amount then

classic Subaru Si

Every night mate, between 3 & 5 cans, finished off with one of those funny cigarettes!

GazTheHat

Never used to drink at home, now i do, maybe a bit too frequently.

Wine, beer, beer, wine. Leave the hard stuff alone, unless i make some cocktails.


You don't need to know songs, just mumble. Maybe time to start growing the beard though.

StickyMicky

normally 1, maybe 2 cans a night after getting in from work.

unless i`m going out, like tonight

sometimes i will hammer them for no reason, like last month when i managed to knock back 8 within an hour while playing on the xbox, not really sure what happened but i do remember loads of Americans on my team kicking off because i couldn't shoot properly on gears of war

Leslie

Nothing wrong with a nightly tipple at all-probably good for you. As long as you don't get sucked in onto the slippery slope.

Les

GazTheHat

Define "slippery slope".

j4ckos mate

we have a drink at weekend and maybe once in the week

sod it who am i kidding.



gene has it to kill the pain of not having kids

stilover

I drink too much at home. Seems every month I'm off to Macko for a few more cases of Budvar.

According to this, you may have a problem, Gene

alcoholic, test | Are you an Alcoholic? | A simple test that only YOU can answer.

I Definately have one!!!

Ns "They're trying to make me go to rehab" 04

GazTheHat

That's a bit harsh that test.

- Do you drink alone?

What happens if you live on your own, you're an alcy?

New_scooby_04

iTrader: (4)

Basically, yes - it indicates you may have a problem

I think we're all guilty of at least two of those on occassions!

See you in hell, Whinehouse!

When I lived on my own and was not working (many many years ago) I would drink a 3 litre bottle of cider most nights and just watch job finder till the early hours........

I used to work 4 on 4 off and on my days off I would start drinking at around
11 am whilst doing DIY, by the time the wife got home at 6 I would be half pissed, had to knock it on the head after a few months due to her moaning about me being drunk when she got home.

I still drink 2 or 3 cans a night and enjoy getting wasted on my own....strange I know.

DCI Gene Hunt

If you have answered YES to three or more, you are definitely an alcoholic.

1. Do you lose time from work due to drinking? - Every lunchtime
13. Has your efficiency decreased since drinking? - On some mornings yes!
16. Do you drink alone? - If Sky+ doesn't count then yes!!

Well that's that then... spare some change guv??

8. Does your drinking make you careless of your family's welfare?

No, but then again I don't have much of a family...they were tragically killed in a house fire when I left the microwave on re-heating a kebab I got when pished.....oh! My bad!

andrewdelvard

Only ever drink at home never (except if its at a mates house for dinner or something) when I go out. I'm not really a beer/lager drinker, stick to spirits. To be honest I rather cozy up with the missus with a fine cognac than go out and blow an easy fifty notes.

Consciously avoid it Monday - Thursday. Get through a bottle of wine each night Friday to Sunday, with a few beers mixed in aswell.

I enjoy it too! I like a tipple or three every night and can have a really nice time when I'm alone, the other half often works nights so it's just me, the JD (or wine), Sky+, my laptop and the sofa. *Bliss

*Except at the moment because I'm some medication that I'm not supposed to drink with

GazTheHat

Class!

Compared to rabskyline you are teetotal that raving alcoholic scotsman drinks like a fish

DCI Gene Hunt

Phew!! Then Rabskyline can be the "alcoholic benchmark".... thus anyone not Scottish and who doesn't "drink like a Rab" is alright

Righty-o then.... my round

A'K

I can do 4 cans a night while playing on the xbox easy, but only after all the jobs are done in the house and the kids are in bed. Friday night can get messy though, can do in well over 10 cans in a long xbox session (mainly on live though with my xbox live buddies). Think I need to cut out the drinking mid week though, starting to feel guilty drinking ALL the time..

Clarebabes

I am completely teetotal, and that's the truth!
