Gave it up for Lent, but before that I was drinking every day.

It was 1/3 to 1/2 a bottle of wine every day. Now that I've gone back to the gym, I drink the day I dont go work out which comes out to about 2-3 drinking days per week.

drew

wine every day, beer very infrequently, liquor even less often

My doctor told me if I quit drinking, I'd live longer. I said "No, Doc: It'd just seem longer!"

Usually only when it's free, and usually only one or two, if I'm in the mood.

In the last year, I'd guess I've had about 15 drinks. 95% on airplanes or in airport lounges. I will occasionally drink a sip of wine or other alcoholic drinks I haven't tried before, to see what they taste like, but rarely a full drink of unknown "amIgonnalikethisstuff".

Whenever I'm in an airport lounge - ~100x a year;
whenever I'm dining in a restaurant - ~100x a year;
after every concert - ~100x a year;
when I'm with friends - ~65x a year.

I used to drink 3-4 times a week... Each time being enough to catch a buzz, although sometimes much more.

When I was travelling, it was out to dinner, at the hotel after work, on the plane, at the lounge. 7 days a week.

Since I have been dieting, I have cut it down to once every week if not two weeks. Much much less. And I am sure, better for me.

It's happy hour somewhere.

I drink more when I'm traveling. It helps alleviate the stress that comes with all of the security crap, long lines, delayed flights, etc. Its much more likely to happen if I'm in an airport with a smoking bar. I've never gotten too drunk to board a plane but I'm quite sure boarding agents could smell the booze on many occasions.

I once met a guy at MSP in a tiny bar nestled in the Intl departure area. (Some of you may know it. It's the one with all the foreign currencies displayed) The guy had gotten smashed and was told he couldn't fly. What does he do? Return to the same bar and have more drinks while waiting to (hopefully) catch the next flight to his destination. The bar owner kept serving him and said he could stay as long as he wanted or until the bar closed. The guys speech was slurred and he was staggering when he tried to walk. Some people never learn.

No, the correct answer: It's Beer O'clock.

Hats off to those of you who, despite having free minibars as a RA or other program benefit - or having access to half-decent wines, spirits and champers, can take a couple of days off every week to allow your liver some rest!

Having a few days off makes the other days more enjoyable.

When on a holiday, of course I must sample every drink on offer - unless there is a nice single-malt or wine which I need to try in-depth.

at least one a day...after that London Study where they said having 1-2 drinks (any drinks) will lengthen your life by 7 yrs...my wife has stopped nagging me about it.

This was published in Dec 2007 while I was in India and I saw it in the Time of India.

Couple of glasses of wine a day. Also a G&T before I get on a flight if in Y.

I don't drink all that much--I will have a glass of wine or an Old Fashioned now and then, or a good beer (life's too short to drink bad beer) or two, but in general, maybe once or twice a month. I've been known to go six months without a drop, then have a few beers and then go another six months without. Not because I'm anti-alcohol, just not something I do often. Though I have come to realize that when drunk, I seem to think I'm a genius and offer my opinion to any and all. This assertion (that I'm a genius and everyone needs to listen to me) has yet to be corroborated by anyone who's seen me in that state. So I try to hold myself short of getting that far.
