Okay my fellow quaffers and carousers..... time to fess up- how often do you swill? Please be honest. According to recent studies, drinking is way up around the nation, probably the world too.
As for myself, I must say that I drink about every day whether I have money or not.:Spin:
 
I drink alcohol very rarely, and I really hate being drunk... IMO it's weird how so many people really like it. Sometimes it's quite nice to have a beer, cider or some wine, but as I said it's seldom.

It is nice to get drunk, by drunk I mean legally drunk (you know, over the limit to be driving) So in my case, that is if I drink 4-5 drinks in one hour. For me that is a good feeling, and I try not to exceed that. Because it is really bad to lose your senses and then of course you get sick the next day.
For those who don't know, in the US, most States have a legal limit for alcohol consumption while driving, in my state the blood alcohol level cannot exceed .10
I know that some states have lower limits, like .08 for instance. Actually, I don't know what my new state is now. anyone know the legal limit for Oregon? Would be nice to know!
Thanks :)
 
I used to drink much more when I was in the army and had a steady - albeit lousy - income and no expenses whatsoever. Now that I have to pay my rent, food clothes and such whatnot, I've eased up on drinking.

So, it's perhaps a few drinks to a night of carousing (At home, of course - drinks in bars are way too expensive for me. :) ) or a few more, if it's a sauna night with good old friends. :grin:
 
I drink every few months... I save my voice and my head. I had a mild brain concussion just a few days ago so I have to say goodybe to alcohol, headbanging and any kind of wildnes for a few months :(

I'm just clumsy, that's all. After 3 hours of rehearsing I got tired and my legs and back started to hurt, so me and my keyplayer went out of the room to stretch and I fell and hit my head :lol:
 
I drink when there is a party, which isn't often for me. I only drink until I have a buzz, because I think drinking until you pass out or get sick is just plain stupid. You have to know your limits. Once you get that fuzzy feeling in your head, that's when I stop...
 
I've never been an alcoholic, just did it a few times when I was 15 or something.

The day I decided never to do it again was when I saw the reaction of my cousin (after one bottle of red wine and one bottle of whisky). He fell asleep and started throwing up and no one could wake him up. There was vomit all around him and it was just the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. I lost all respect for him and every other drunk on the planet. :yuk:

I don't get why you should drink a lot. Not calling you all pathetic, but if you can't have fun without alcohol then... The thing I hate most at concerts (right after being demolished by the crowd in the first row) :zombie: is some drunk bastard screaming in your ear, spilling bear all over you. Thanks a lot! :bah:

(Not meaning to sound bitter, I just got carried away)
