Topic: Curiousity: How much a drinker are you?

I'm taking advantage of my extra syrup to make a poll(I hope to god it works ) Topic randomly came up in an IM conversation, and so I am curious about what EC is like number wise.

Me? I don't drink for reasons of age. At most I figure I'll be a light drinker once I'm 21...except for my birthday when both older brothers and an aunt and uncle are taking me out. I fear the day after.

If you feel like it say why you do drink such as you do.

I'm only 15, so...

But I did have a few shots of 100-proof whisky. It was, surprisingly, good.

18, almost 19. I don't drink by choice. (Aka, my age is not the driving factor)

Yeah, age is pretty irrelevent when it comes to whether or not you drink anyway...you can choose to get drunk almost whatever age you are, just have to know how to get it.

I didn't figure for much in the way of response there, but figured the option should be around.

I would call myself a moderate drinker that drinks occasionally. I can go weeks or months without a drink by choice, and then sometimes I will have several in any given day or week.

I am also a social drinker, so if we are in a situation where other people are boozing it up, and I don't have to drive, I will most likely have a couple drinks.

I say a light drinker. I have a glass of wine once or twice a week, or I attempt to. I get buzzed on half a glass and by the time I finish the whole glass my lips are nice and tingly and I am extremely warm.

Technically alcohol is a no-no after surgery.

Somewhere between none-choice, and occasional. I chose occasional anyway.

I'll occasionally have a little wine, maybe a little beer, but not nearly enough to even get slightly buzzed. I like the taste of wine, but I very much dislike all consciousness-altering substances. I intend to almost never be drunk in my entire life.

Currently on a year off from the booze.

Been dead sober 2 and a half months, and it sucks. Used to go to the pub weekly, and drink socially, and all that, but after a little incident on July 4th, i decided it was time to take a break..

Penance, ya know.

I'll drink at parties when there's liquor around. I can't do beer. Honestly, I've tried to do beer, because I know how cheap it is, but every time it just makes me want to vomit.

I haven't actually been drunk in like a month and a half or so. I decided to take a small break after that incident. Tomorrow, though, there will be a party and there will be liquor. Yay.

I'm 18, so I can't really drink whenever I want...okay so I can, but I don't. I get drunk when I feel like getting drunk. I have older friends who will buy it for me whenever I call them, so it's easy to get access too, but I've recently decided to lay off. The last time I got drunk, I couldn't remember alot of what happend that night, and I didn't like that much. So I figured I was drinking alittle too much.

I don't drink, by choice, and the binge drinking society here in the UK really pisses me off. The UK is now top of the worldwide charts for all-night binge drinking and extremely heavy drinking in the female population.

I checked moderate, because it's the closest thing to both heavy and light. I am a purely social drinker(I never drink alone), but when I drink(1-3 times a month) I almost always drink quite a lot.

Basically, what Nae said, except I suspect I drink more when I do drink.

Also, if I'm out with friends playing pool at a bar or something simliar I'll have a beer or two. I don't even really consider that drinking, though, because I'm getting very little effect from it. I just like beer.

I drink a glass of wine at family dinners because my grandfather does and that's the way Sicilians do things. It's also very healthy to drink a little wine once and awhile. Other then that I don't drink at all.

I checked moderate. I like to drink, and will do so at least once a week to varying degrees. Recently it's been pretty light, but I've just finished freshers week, which has resulted in a pretty bad hangover. I've got to pick up my proper timetable so no boozing for me for a bit. At least until I've got the hang of getting up before 9.

I'd say moderate. It's been a while since I've gotten drunk, I usually have a beer with dinner 2-3 times a week, and one or two Sunday afternoon when the race is on. Add in the occasional party/nightcap, and it's still pretty light. But over in Germany it was fuckin' Booze-a-palzooa, so I figure the two average out to moderate.

Very very very occasionally. For a long time I couldn't bear to drink alcohol due to my esophageal reflux. Was like swallowing burning napalm. Now that the reflux is in remission I can drink it, but eh...

Plus I downed the better part of a six pack once and didn't feel anything

I'm 20 and I drink ocassionaly, though only when I'm back home (since 18 is the legal age there). But I really only drink at family gatherings and just a small amount, like a glass of wine or a rum and coke.

My rep on the board notwithstanding, I'm actually a moderate social drinker.

BUT given the proper circumstances/motivation I can do some serious damage to brain cells/my liver/bottle of whatever's being drunk at the drop of a hat. I've got enough experience to know not to drive drunk and having to take a health day the day after sucks serious monkey nuts.

I checked heavy.

Lately I've been drinking a lot, usually to temporarily forget about problems, which is a bad thing. I've even found myself drinking a six pack by myself, sitting at home gaming, which is also quite bad.

Yeah...I dunno, lotsa weird shit going on in my life right now.

And I'm 20, age is 19 here, so that's not an issue.

A social drinker is a person that will drink during parties, gatherings of friends, dinners out, etc. They don't usually drink alone, but if they are with a group of family or friends where drinks are served they will have a few.
