How many Schooners/Stubbies per day?

V1113B · Post by **V1113B** » Wednesday Feb 14, 2007 9:47 am

Just wondering how many drinks you guys have on a daily basis?

I go through phases where I might drink 5 or 6 a day more on Friday/Saturday nights.

Then I might go for a few weeks where I dont drink during the week at all.
Usually always drink Fri and Sat night without fail.

One or two per week night with one AFD per week. Friday night & weekend can be more but rarely more than 4 pints or 6 stubbies in any session. I try to balance the consumption with exersise as I've gained some "beer muscle" in the last year.

For a good ramble on consumption rates & taking time off drinking, check out this thread - http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/i ... opic=13944

Probably 8 to 10 schooners a night thru the week and about 15 on Saturdays and about 10 to 12 Sundays.

The there's the Bourbon......just joking!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't drink more than four stubbies a night during the week. Most often it will be two stubbies or one longneck. On weekends it's roughly the same if I am drinking at home. If I go to the pub with mates I would drink up to eight schooners. There is a guide to alcohol consumption. I think it has been mentioned somewhere here previously. I think it said 3(maybe 2) standard drinks a night, with one alcohol free night per week.

One longneck a night during the week, sometimes none. Never more.

Three-five longnecks a night on weekends, less if I have a bottle of wine.

My normal drinking week is (approximately):

Mon: AFD
Tues: AFD
Wed: 3 long necks
Thur: 3 long necks
Fri: 4-6 long necks
Sat: 6-8 long necks
Sun: AFD

Noodles · Post by **Noodles** » Wednesday Feb 14, 2007 2:48 pm

Wow, just worked out that's up to 20 long necks per week. Better either cut down consumption or increase production...hmmm...I wonder if I could fit an extra carboy in the....

Before starting Home Brewing - during the week up to 6 longnecks a night (usually not more than 5) weekends I don't count.

After starting Home Brewing and I've got a stockpile of beers to choose from I might do 3 longnecks a night during the week. Again weekends I don't count, but couldn't do more than 6.

Try to have 2 AFD in a week, doesn't always work though.

My conclusion - I'm learning more about beer and drinking my homebrews is more satifying tha commercial beer

Usually a couple of stubbies across the week, after tea or something, then approx 10-12 stubbies each on Friday and Saturday night.

I'm a bit random, usually one or two schooners every 2nd day I guess

It is men shouldn't have more than 4 standard drinks a day and should have an alcohol free day per week. Women shouldn't have more than 2 standard drinks a day and an alcohol free day.

I vary a lot. On average I'll say have the equivalent of 3 schooners per day.

Usually 2-3 pints, but on weekends could get as high as 12. Trying to cut down as beer muscle is growing

well............no wonder the doc told me to cut back, when I was in my prime I would have spilled more than a lot of you blokes drink, I wish I had known, or believed a bit sooner what it was doing to me though. I never had AFDs, apart from years ago when I was working in the Pit lands and grog is illegal, we went dry for a couple of weeks at a time then. But apart from that, plenty every night, not that I ever kept score!
Now I have one maybe two longnecks a night, at least two AFDs a week and maybe one or two sessions a fortnight, but that only equates to four, maybe six longnecks per session.

I'll probably have 4-6 stubbies a week if there's nothing special on (like parties, brew days etc)

When friends are around the drinking rate goes up.

Nice one Lethal

After reading this thread, I may need some AFD (Alcohol Free Days) too.

My peak on a weekly basis was 6-8 schooners a night when I first started brewing as I could not wait to taste each one.

I have cut back, but AFD's seem to be the go.....man that's going to be hard.

Cheers
