Whether it be a cocktail when I come home from work, a glass of wine (or two) with dinner or a beer. I have 1-2 drinks*, three or four evenings out of a week.
*Ok, when I make a vodka tonic, I tend to go a wee bit heavy on the vodka so maybe each of my homemade mixed drinks counts as two.

I may credit you because I may have to use that. I typically drink 4-5 days out of the week. College football Saturdays are often excessive. During the week, generally one double in a pint glass.

Friday and Saturday nights, usually.
I've been mostly drinking wine these days.
I hardly drink during the week -- M-Th is my time to eat healthy, exercise, and treat my body right. Weekends are for fun.
I have to say that I've cut down my drinking a lot in the last year, and I feel 200% better.

For me, it depends if I am travelling.
Travel - every day after work, taking advantage of free beers in Club lounges etc.
Non-Travel - Fri/Sat/Sun only, taking advantage of my home brew - at .20c a beer, you can't go wrong.

I used to drink on Friday and saturday nights twice a month.
Wierd thing is when I drink now I feel a painful burning in my face and it slowly spreads accross with a bright red outbreak as well.
I tried looking it up online and it seems to be something called asian flush but I am white?

I do my part to balance out the sobriety of other posters by drinking as often as possible. However, in my current location (where alcohol is difficult to procure) and with my omnipresent cough (where alcohol is less likely to stay in the shot glass and more likely to interact with medication), I am drinking a lot less than I used to at home.
Ah Chicago, I remember you fondly.

Usually a glass or two of wine at dinner, sometimes interspersed with a martini, such as tonight, when I mixed my favorite: Lychee Martini taught to me at the Felix on top of the HKG Peninsula.
