Not very often, kids and all that.

Fancy a pint?

Hmmmm, twice !

Not counting club runs and holidays, but there is a quiet pub about a mile from home that is really quite inviting on a warm summer's evening, the dogs seem to agree !

LOL

If you discount our local club meet (where we rarely go in, and if we do, we don't have a proper drink), emm... never anymore.

Once a month sounds good to me, although I try to better that to some degree.

Does it count if you plan on going to the pub, but just end up staying at your mates house cos the beer has made you legless too quickly?

There's no point in pubs anymore. Booze is cheaper in supermarkets, and who wants to talk to a stranger anyway?

Exactly. For what you would spend in a pub on even a quiet night out, you could have enough drink from the supermarket for a good few nights/weekends depending on how much you put away.

Also, there is less and less atmosphere in pubs nowadays, at least the ones we used to go to.

The last time I was in a pub was just before Christmas, and that's because I was staying in one when I was working near Preston. Like to get out in Glasgow at least once a fortnight, but never go into pubs.

Never nowadays, unless you count the pub at the speedway then it's every Friday, great wee place, great people, good laugh and I'd **** the barmaid up the council till her eyes fell out!

One of my favourite landlords once said to me, "I only see `em (customers) when they`ve split up with their girlfriend/wives". Must say that was true of myself too. When I was free and single I was out every night. Working away contracting, out every night. Got married, went out once a week. Divorced, back out most nights. Now remarried and I can`t remember the last time I went out for more than one.

Every Friday without fail and occasionally one other night in the week.

I'm getting excited thinking about it now, it's a great way to finish up the week.

Typically twice a week at lunchtime only. The kids don't allow for evenings out! Will be more this week: we went yesterday, and today to Monday the pub next door will be holding a beer festival!

I like to tick off as many beers as possible during the 4 day binge.

Not looking forward to Tuesday morning though,

Very rare you will find me in a pub and i got about 6 pubs within drunken walking distance.Reason well two of them are now restaurants,the other is full of yob chavs which is now up for sale.i will either be round a mates house having a drink and a laugh or in one of the two social clubs where they don't allow chavs and yobs..Or will just go to a club once a month or something..To be honest just don't enjoy pubs like it used to be unless im abroad where i feel i can relax more and have a laugh without looking over my shoulder so much..Now i am quite capable of looking after myself but what stopped me from going out to clubs so much was ******** guys who wanted to start a fight and just got tired with getting into a punch up every week and giving some a guy a bleeding nose+the job im in kinda causes complications if i got into trouble,that about sums it up........

Twice a week without fail...

I love beer,and always have done.I dont drink in the house at all though.

Drinking is a social thing..Although i have to agree,the price of beer is scandalous in public houses and bars.

There is only 1 pub in our village and its full most nights,so there is still a good trade locally.
Many pubs are closing though,its a bloody shame..
