    At most twice a week. Sometimes i might not drink at all.

    Unless there's a Judo competition coming up, most nights.

    I work crazy hours and a drink helps settle the ol' body clock.

    I think i'd probably drink less being on the dole. You know given that i'd be on less money and looking for a job and shít.

    I haven't been drinking much lately. Was sick for over a week and just haven't been arsed really. Usually it would probably be once a week.

    I'm confused.com.

    How does being on the social increase your drinking?
    I can barely afford to drink now in full time employment?

    But to answer your question, 2 nights, sometimes only one, depends on how busy I am at work (ya jammy bugger)!

    Normally a few on Friday after work. Maybe once a month on Saturday too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,059 ✭✭✭Buceph


    Once a week, mostly. That's all I can afford to seeing as I'm living off my parents at the moment. Hopefully I get my social welfare decided and can head to Fás to see about getting a job.

    I don't actually drink that often but when I drink, I drink. Nothing really appealing to me about having one or 2 drinks aside from wine with food if it's an occasion, but if someone offers me a drink and I know it's just gona be the 1 or 2 I'll usually refuse it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭markesmith


    Almost every day, but I'm looking into changing that...

    Should add a poll btw.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Phoenix Park


    Once a week. I'm early 30's, generally 5/6 pints on a Saturday night, occasionally 8 or so if its a big one. I just can't work hungover and haven't drank midweek since i was a student.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Have cut down on my drinking lots over the last few months since I started taking anti-depressants,at most now I'd drink twice a week,this week I've only drank once,that was on Wednesday and I had 6 or 7 pints.

    I used to drink 6 or 7 days a week,and I'd be drinking cheap Aldi vodka and Southern Comfort/naggins of Jameson as well as pints in the pub.Actually have managed to save some money over the last few months instead of pissing/puking it all away!

    Zero.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I not to rigid with it , usually 2 or 3 days a week were I will either have beer or wine at home .Think it's good to give it a rest for a few days but am usually up for a drink out anytime


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    It all depends, if Liverpool have a mid week televised game sure I'll pop round the boozer for that, though I usually only have a pint each half and head home, unless the pints go down particularly well and it gets out of hand, I think most of us know that situation :)

    Fridays is usually a gang of us for pints, happy days.

    2/3 nights a week, I guess. though I've had a few Anomalies :o

    I drink maybe once a month, and then I have a good few drinks in a row.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Normally just Friday and Saturday properly, then a few on a Tuesday

    Ya, I'm a Friday and Saturday man myself. Then there's the odd Thursday and sometimes Monday and occassionally Wednesday, Tuesday and maybe Sunday


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    Very few. I'd usually have a night out about once a month now, and don't drink much at home.

    2 or 3 nights I'd say. One big session on a Saturday night and usually end up going for pints after work one or two evenings, which sometimes turn into sessions too. There would be an odd week where I might drink 4 or 5 nights if there are a lot of things going on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭seanbmc


    Once a week usually, if I have college during the week. Twice at most, with the sole purpose of getting drunk :D.

    Sometimes I might not drink at all, all depends on college and money situation.

    I don't really drink that often. Maybe once a week although probably not even that. I'd say maybe once every two weeks, I wouldn't drink that much when I am drinking either. I can't really afford it (student on grant). And I'm in final semester of college now so I don't really have the time. God, I sound dull! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭EverEvolving


    Anywhere from none to seven :pac:

    I used to be a much bigger drinker than I am now, not trying not to just not as interested as I used to be. There was a stage where I didn't feel normal if I wasn't getting sozzled at least once a week, that was when I was working though so I probably needed to blow off some steam.
