Default How much do you drink?

I must admit that im probably wrong in what i do, but ive kind of, you know, got in a habit as it were. Get home have a bath/shower, grab some food then ahave a few beers. Thing is, it kind of amounts to like anywhere between 4 and 6 sometimes 8 tins a night especially on a weekend and stuff.

Thing is, am i alone in what i do, or does pretty much most people do this to wind down a bit??

dont really drink much at all, I dont drink through the week. at the weekend I will only have a couple of JD's or a couple of whiskies.
Anytime I have been over to Oz, people come home from work and have a few beers everynight, maybe around 3 or 4.

I love to wind down with a beer and tend to have a couple every night, and a few extra on a weekend!

As long as you don't go mad I don't see the harm, it's just those pesky calories!

6-8 tins a night is alot imo.

I'm off it totally for now but usually only drink on a sat night, tends to be a fair amount then though. 7/8 pints then probably 10-20 vodkas at a guesstimate. Sometimes alot more sometimes alot less/none at all, depends whats happening.

do you think binge drinkings worse or a steady flow of alcahol is easier on you.

Don't really get pissed any more, hate the hangover the next day! Normally have one or 2 pints at the weekend, then maybe a can in the evening if there's some in the fridge. Didn't get drunk this new year for the first time, was quite nice waking up new years day feeling good!

I have between 2 and 4 cans most nights,sometimes I might miss a few nights in the week, I hardly ever get pissed now days.

Also it supposed to easier on the body if you don't binge drink as the liver and kidneys don't get a sudden burst of alcohol.

2-3 cans of stella on a week night, 4 or 5 pints at the weekend.
It just helps me to chill after a day at work and I get right fidgety if I have not had a can in the evening.

Right well i went on the downward spiral after i stopped smoking , have put on 3 stone since i stopped

I then started to drink at home , instead of as usual the pub with mates
It was the stella for a start , used to get the bargains at tesco and drink like it was going out of fashion , pissed every nite
Then in the summer i went onto the cider , again tesco for the bargains and as usual like it was going out of fashion , every nite
Then started on the port for some unknown reason , again every nite , unknown reason
Then went onto gin , plymouth navy strength gin for a start 100% proof from the factory itself , eventually started doing sloe gin , every nite , fashion and all that

Now im on the vodka , tesco own brand cos its cheap and i get thro half a bottle a nite in the week , more at the weekend

So at the end of the day im pissed , but would it be cheaper to start smoking again ?? i think i'd be better off to .
