I turned the legal drinking age about 4 or 5 months ago, and since then I've been buying beer a lot.

I'm just gonna say it now, I love beer. I hardly ever drink any other kind of alcohol, just beer. I love the way it tastes. I like how easy it is to control the level of drunk I experience.

Anyways, some people (mostly my dad and girlfriend) tell me I drink too much. I guess the part that troubles my girlfriend so much is that I enjoy drinking beer alone. As far as she's concerned it's something that only alcoholics do. But I don't really see it that way, because I'm usually playing StarCraft and chatting to my buddies over Vent having a good time and relaxing while drinking beer. No, I don't need beer to relax, but I'm not gonna lie, it sure helps haha. On average I probably drink beer 3-5 days of the week, and usually drink around 4-6 beer (it doesn't take me very much to get comfortably drunk).

All you drinkers out there, how often do you drink? Do I drink too much?

Based on what you've said I see two issues:

1) Same advice as people who drink a lot of soda... should drink less for health reasons (you got a beer gut?)
2) Having a little beer because you enjoy it without putting yourself at risk (driving etc) is obviously fine, but too much alcohol is bad for your liver in the long run. I don't have numbers so I can't tell you if you are 'over the limit' or not based on what you said but it is something I would be concerned about.

btw your thread title implies a bigger drunkness issue than you realize! :p

I'm quite sure that if I didn't have a job I would be drinking every night of the week. Whenever I stay in on a weekend night to play some SC2 I usually drink about 2 bottles of wine whilst 2v2ing with a friend. Not to mention the massive quantities I drink when I go out.

Every time I have the next day off I always have to get drunk, it's sort of scary.
this game is a fucking jokie

Ask yourself: if I had to stop drinking--cold turkey--for whatever reason, could I do it?

I drink a 6 pack a week and rarely over 2 beers in a given day. I don't really see the point of drinking multiple in a day since you can't enjoy it (flavor and all) after 2 beers. In fact, beer tastes so much better after you haven't had it for awhile.

I actually wish they would sell 4 packs instead of 6.

I don't see that as a problem at all.

It's just beer. I drink like that although it probably takes me more to get drunk that it gets you, but I don't always drink to get drunk. Like you, I just love the taste and also like you, I enjoy a few good cold brews while gaming online- alone or not alone. Nothing wrong with that...

I'm more careless when I lose so in a way that's a good thing =] just enjoy the game whether you win or lose

I think you should talk to your girlfriend about this, try to make her understand this is what you do to relax and let loose.

Also when you drink do you get drunk everytime? if so I think you should cut back a beer or two.

make sure you get enough vitamin b1.
If you replace many of your meals with alcoholic calories you could be nutrient deficient which could lead to shrinkage of the memory portion of your brain. Permanent memory loss can occur.

I used to drink like this, but it would be 12-20 beers 3-4 days a week. I just liked getting really drunk, I admitted that I'm an alcoholic, but it's not a problem, I can control it easily. I haven't drank in 3 weeks.
I don't see the problem, aside from being way too much money haha.
Wishing you well.

The real question is.. Does it matter whether you drink a lot of beer? lol

No really though, if you are being irresponsible and not handling your shit at work or school or with family because you're drunk all the time, YES, you drink too much

If you are getting fat because you don't excersize enough and you drink too much beer, and when you WOULD excersize you're already drunk so you don't anyways, then you drink too much

If you are spending 90% of your "net" income (the leftovers after you pay your bills) on beer, you probably drink too much

etc etc you see my point


I drink every day (missing on only a few very sad days). Sometimes I'll only drink 1 or 2 beers, sometimes 10-15. I handle my shit at work and keep busy, but I DEFINITELY drink too much lol.

I see no problem with having a beer a day. I drink 5-6 beers per week at least. It just relaxes you, the taste is great and you can just enjoy it and chill. But doing the numbers you do... I don't know, it might be just that you're beginning and it's partially fun for you as well. But in time you might want to cut down on it.

I don't drink, but theres no real way of labelling "to much". If anything is interfering with other areas of your life then you're doing it too much.

Plus you can see it from your girlfriends perspective, you'd rather play games, drink beer and talk to people online than spend time with her (even if this isn't the case, this is how she rationalizes it).

Meh, I don't see any problem with it.

Yo, dinking that much sounds unhealthy. You should dink a bit less, or do something else.

Your girlfriend is probably more upset with your dick becoming limp rather than you wasting your spare time drinking.

On a more serious note - drinking alone is a great way of drinking, I've drank plenty throughout my life and I grew tired of noisy companies and stupid parties. I still go whenever I feel like it but it's definitely not as entertaining as it used to be when I was 16.

well if you get drunk every time you drink... then that may be a problem. other than that theres nothing really that bad about drinking like you except the fact that you will get pretty fat quickly. i'd cut it down a little though, maybe only drink 2-3 beers.
