Not frequently because it is too expensive to drink quality spirits lol.

Maybes 3 or 4 times a year have shots with close mates.

Some quality stuff no articular order:

Bacardi 151 (buy it if you can find it, no longer made because it is too strong)
Talisker (single malt whisky)
Glenfiddich (single malt whisky)
Jack Daniels' Tennessee Fire
Chivas Brothers Lochan Ora
Captain Morgan (Original spiced rum)
Krupnik Vodka
Belvedere Vodka
Wyborowa Vodka
Zubrowka Vodka

I use to be frequent, then decided (with the disappointment of my friends) to not drink as much. So now I drink every now and then, but I'm trying to not drink anymore because alcohol is bad 

Edit to add; It was vodka that I drank, I have some left and a part of me wants to finish it, but the other half is like "no, drink is bad"



If you require alcohol to have fun, then you have a problem

I'm a social drinker. I only drink during parties, sometimes at home. A bottle or two of beer, never the hard stuff. Never enough to act like a fool.



Social. I haven't had much if anything to drink during lockdown. It got relaxed somewhat in my state and I ended up going mental. Went out twice, got drunk twice.

One of the nights I ended up sick, not throw up sick.... But almost.



Never drink alcohol, can't stand it

I am grateful my taste buds reject that devilish beverage.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I don't drink.



Very rarely, I'd say anywhere from two to four times a year, one is usually on New Year's Eve and one around November/December when we have the traditional Christmas party at work. Other than that, I don't really like going out for drinks, I guess it's because I worked in bars for over a decade and saw how people behave, as well as the immense issues the staff had with their drinking habits (as well as various drugs).

If I have a drink, I usually have classics like rum and coke, or something fancy with fruit in it (which has the added benefit of being really manly). I prefer beer though, usually, a good IPA or even a good Lager, more towards the sour end than the bitter and dry (I cover that with my personality).

I just never enjoyed drinking all that much, I think it has something to do with the horrible drinking culture where I'm from. I usually drove others to parties and made some money instead, or I simply spent weekends with by best friends playing D&D or video games or watching movies.



In my college days, I tried alcohol a few times out of curiosity in social gatherings. My most wild alcohol-related memory from that time is when I drank absinthe. I don't regret it, because I'd rather have the experience than the curiosity, but I remember I ended up like crap with just one shot.

Once my curiosity was over, however, I didn't have any reason to drink anymore. I've drunk some alcohol with friends in very rare occasions after that, but not because I genuinely wanted to. Still, if there's some wine around, I can have a finger of it during a meal and like it. And I don't mind to drink a beer if I'm meeting someone new, but... well, that doesn't happen too frequently. And I'd rather take a coffee anyway.

About my favourite alcohol beverage, does non-alcoholic beer count? =P Apart from that, there's actually a well-known cocktail that I don't dislike, but I never remember the name.



I'm mostly a lurker now.

One or two beers once every few days, occasionally something stronger. strange to see so many non drinkers here. I live in the city, almost everybody drinks here.
