I mostly drink rum and beer, but will occasionally drink gin and cocktails. I do not get drunk often, as I drink at a leisurely pace and slow down even more if I start getting more than tipsy. I drink between one and two evenings a week, and always in social situations.

I drink maybe 2-3 times per month now, usually 1-2 drinks. Before I had a kid I was drinking 2-3 times per week, 2-4 drinks each time. I just don't have the time available to drink much these days.

I drink rum and Coke often when I'm home. I also have a beer or two once in a while. When I'm in a bar or restaurant, I often order gin and tonic.



0. I’ve never liked the taste. People kept telling me I will like it and get used to it as get older.That never happened. Same with carbonated drink. I just don’t like the fizz.



Hit pretty much a perfect balance last night; got tipsy enough to feel fuzzy and relaxed, but not drunk enough that I feel sick this morning or did anything stupid or embarrassing. It's a difficult point for me to hit because it takes a lot to get me tipsy, so by the time I get there I can easily overshoot.

Fun fact; even when we were in a Stage 4 lockdown here, the liquor stores stayed open. Government knew they'd be hell to pay if they tried to separate Australians from our booze, pandemic or no pandemic.

I drink maybe 2-3 times a month on average. Sweet wine, Peach Bellini, Hawaii Surprise, Bahama Mama, and Banana Daiquiri are my favorites, but nothing beats a good Blackberry Thicket wine from a local winery. People that know me and my personality think it's really amusing that the only alcoholic drinks I like are these really sweet ones haha.

To this day the only beer I've ever fully drinked was an IPA. Had a person convinced if I finished it, I would quickly fall in love with IPA and all beer shortly thereafter. Took me 1.5 hours of sipping but I did finish it. Was one of the most bitter and foul things I've ever consumed in my life and I still don't like beer (this was years ago lol).

You guys go to liquor stores?

Isn't it easier to just buy your booze from the supermarket or something as part of your grocery shop?

I get mine delivered from my local supermarket as part of my grocery shop, but liquor stores are still a common thing.



I would say I do except I had to stop because I can’t seem to regulate or moderate it. Once I get going I keep going which kinda sucks. I start smoking cigarettes and I stay up way to late. The next day is totally shitty. I was also dating an alcoholic all year and haven’t had a drink since we broke up. I have a Kylo Ren “MORE!” mentality with anything that feels good. Favorite drink is Pilsner, or Long Island.

Same for me, it's either no alcohol at all or ALL the alcohol. 



Yeah same here, once I start drinking it's very hard to stop, it's taken me many years to train myself to pull back once I start to feel the buzz.



No drinker i was only drinking 2 glass a year, one to the birthday of my mums and one at christmas, but since i moved in other philippines 2 years ago, i don't drink anymore now like my wife !
