On average, how much beer is consumed in your household?

Another big fat whopping zero here.

Whoo boy - I’m not even telling - the repercussions would probably be ugly. :slight_smile: But this household has everyone of you beat. By a long shot. A real, real, REAL, long shot.

Missy2U, I want to have dinner at your place!

:smiley:

I rarely ever drink when I’m at home, but when I go to a friend’s house I always bring something with me. It’s either a six-pack or a twelve-pack; I usually consume about 8 beers in an evening and I wish I could find beer in an eight-pack to accommodate me. In the summer I may buy a six-pack of a summer ale to have around because it’s so fucking hot here and there’s nothing like coming home to a cold beer after work.

On a “per-person” basis, I doubt it. All by myself, I quaff 10-12 liters a week (more during college football season and “special events”). I homebrew, and if I don’t brew 5 gal. (18-19 liters) every other week, I run out.

Someone once said, “Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy”. Well, I’m pretty happy.

We don’t drink that much at home. I’d say a six pack lasts a week or two, depending. We probably also drink a bottle of wine per week.

sounds like I’m middle of the pack here. 2-4 a night for me, and the wife likes a couple towards the weekend, so add 8 a week for her. a case and a half (36) a week I guess.

My wife and I put away a bottle of wine a night, when the evening meal calls for wine. If I feel it’s a beer meal, I’ll have two while she drinks a half bottle of wine. Rarely, she drinks beer along with me…last night she did, because I made jerk chicken.

I generally go to the big beer store once every two months and buy four cases (24 bottles or cans) or so. Plus little treats, like sixes of Red Stripe or Rebel or Sapporo.

So far, Pianola and little Banjo aren’t drinking any beer at all. That I know of.

Speaking of the big beer store, Biggirl, what happened to the place on the SW corner of 12th Street and Fourth Avenue? Did they close down? Every time I go past, the gates are down.

When I was living on my own, about 3-4 sixpacks a week, judging by pitcher-equivalents.

After living with my fiancee, and up until a few months ago, about a sixpack a week unless Cerowyn is in town (a drink or two on the weekends, and about 3 or 4 cans/week at work).

I quit drinking at the beginning of September, so I’m down to zero right now.

None. No alcohol at all, except to cook with.

gatopescado, I may be mistaken, but I believe that was Ben Franklin.

Depends…

Sometimes I’m at work, and my tongue is hanging out thinking about beer. I am determined to go home and knock off six or eight if them. I go home eventually, and for some reason I just have one.

Other times, I will polish off eight cans.

Other times, nothing at all.

If I’m in the mood though, I can demolish a carton (24 x 375ml 4.9%alc/vol) in about thirty-six hours alone. This is rare, but it happens. Also, if one of the lads is over at my place, the carton may well go in one evening, and we go out to buy more.

I just got back from a doctor’s appointment. In getting my medical and life history, he asked me how much I drank. When I told him he stopped writing, looked at me wide eyed and said “In a day?”
Oops.

We have a keg refrigerator at my house, and we go through a keg about every two weeks. That is mainly my husband, though. I don’t like keg-beer much.

Every two weeks we go through a keg and 2 or 3 thirty-packs of miller lite.

What’s the conversion rate between cans of beer per keg??

Well, between me and MrsTuffPaws, it averages 12 a night each day of the week. That makes it about 84 individual beers each week. This does vary over time though. I go through fazes of different alcohol consumption. Kick’n’ Chick’n’ is a fine substitute for me, but of late, I have been sticking mostly with beer. MrsTuffPaws sticks with beer.

Alcoholics? Yes, but we are functional :wink:

Did we win anything?

Depends on the week. Sometimes I’d drink nothing in the house for the whole week.

This week I’ve drank 32 500ml cans of Guinness and it’s not the weekend yet :wink:

When I lived in a house share with two guys from my job I’d guess we went through 100 - 200 cans a week. We’d just get 4-5 crates (24cans) any time we’d got low.

With dinner, I’ll either have wine, beer, water or, rarely, Coke.
Wine’ll be 3 glasses or so — a third to a half a bottle, minus any wine that went into the dinner.
Beer’ll be one 500ml can or bottle, or 2-3 stubby bottles of cheap French lager. I used to drink more beer than that.

No beer, but on average Mrs Phoenix and I drink a bottle of wine a day together. Hey, this IS France. :slight_smile:

12-15 litres. Equaly distributed through the week. That would make me upper middle class, eh…

As a tag team, Mrs D and I will go through a six or 12, and maybe a bottle of red most weeks.

I have been intentionally moderating my drinking the past year and a half or so, so I RARELY exceed 4 drinks per day, a total of 14 per week, or alcohol on more than 2 consecutive days. Basically the Moderation Management recommendations. My rare excesses have been at lengthy parties, holiday weekends, etc.

High consumption probably involved a base-level of 24 from the grocery every week, 2 24-ouncers on the train ride home 3-4 evenings a week, supplemented by whatever I could toss down outside of the house. The basic case was mine, and would have to be added to if we invited folks over. 6-8 every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was pretty much a given, whether I was watching TV or using a chainsaw in the yard. “Road pops” was a commonly used term. And it was not unusual to toss down a 6 before heading out to party at which I would drink heavily.

Personally, I prefer my current intake. Much cheaper too. Now I can afford to buy good beer!
