Use to drink a lot when I turned 21. It got old for me quick tho. Now I just have 1-2 beers 1-2 times a week with friends. Too unhealthy man.

It's just a phase you hit when you turn legal drinking age, it lasted about 6 months for me. Eventually, the novelty wears off and you go back to drinking socially. I still drink pretty often (2-3 times a week) but never by myself anymore.

That's definitely an alchy level of drinking right there Come back and tell us how much you are drinking 3 months from now. It's going to be more than you currently are drinking unless you make some changes!

Learn to enjoy drinking without getting drunk. If you drink 3-5 days a week, make most of those days when you only have one beer. If you think that's pointless, then you don't love beer, you just love getting drunk (Or just need some better beer!).

I drink while gaming, myself, but I try to make it rare when I actually get significantly buzzed while gaming alone. In my drinking experience I've found that once I get a little drunk, I just want to drink more and more until I've drank too much - I limit myself by limiting the amount of beer I keep around. If I decide I want to get buzzed and game, I'll go out and buy, say, one of those big bottles of tasty belgian-style beer. When I'm done with that and say to myself "Whoa, I bet I'll feel even BETTER if I drink more beer!", there won't be any more around for me to make stupid decisions.

I understand being new to drinking and wanting to drink a lot, but if you really want to get wasted, don't ever do it (or allow yourself the means to do it) without hanging out with your friends. Alcohol is a depressant, so it's good to have people with you to distract you from yourself or prevent you from being stupid.

Your girlfriend should be happy you dink a lot

Like several others have said, you should probably just stick to one or two max on most nights. It's generally what I do, and I had a drinking problem for several years. Just drink one or two, since that's your approximate tolerance level, and enjoy the great taste of a full flavor lager. Just don't get drunk as often and noone will have any room to bitch. After all, it's not the drinking of beer that upsets them, it's the fact that you get drunk.

I appreciate the advice guys. I am getting mixed responses but I like the perspectives. I'm thinking I'll cut it back to just 2 days a week.

Do you like your GF enough to slightly modify your habits?

If so, try drinking a little less.

If not, do whatever you want as long as you don't think you're becoming dependant on it.

It's impacting your spelling. Definitely.

If there are people telling you that you drink too much, multiple people who care for you, then I'm going say that they're probably right, you do drink too much. Based on the numbers you've given, I'm going to say you definitely drink too much. 12-30 beers a week is not healthy for your body and mind. You really should find a substitute, whether that be non-alcoholic beer, or a fruit juice or something. Set limits for yourself, either by the day, or by the amount. Get your dad and gf to help you stay on that path.

A little drinking now and then is not an issue, but don't let it define you.

I too love beer. I drink probably 4-5 times a week; weeknights just one beer, more on weekends. I don't think it's a big deal unless you become dependent on it.

4-6 beers, 3-5 days a week?

You asked for opinions, so I'll say it's too much.

A beer or two a day is chillin, more than that is drinking, and if you drink that often, you're (a) drunk.

Definitely you should reduce your drinking, but i wouldn't be too concerned UNLESS your family/close relatives have a history of drinking problem. In that case i would definitely reduce the drinking, or you run a pretty big risk of getting hopelessly addicted. It's not worth risking it, you might have control for now but eventually the alcohol will start controlling your life and getting out of it alive will be hell.

Nah man, you don't have a problem -- I also love beer, and used to drink it almost every day, just for the taste of it and loosen up a little after work.

Though, 4-6 per day is a bit, although it depends on how quickly you're drinking them. If it's like 4-6 over the course of the whole day, I think that's totally fine.

You should probably start a poll and put it in the original post.

niteReloaded said it in an interesting way that i like to use nowadays. basically, if you do something a lot, then your basic description or appearance is defined by that thing.

so...if you write a lot, you're a writer.
if you study a lot, you're a hard studier.
if you drink a lot, you're a drunk or drinker.

you're defined by what you do. want to be able to tell people you're a writer? then write.

your girlfriend or family probably beginning to see you as "a drinker". thats not so attractive than if they considered you a "writer" or "rock climber".

of course, you can go ahead and keep personal shit to yourself if people dont like it.

Actually when your family and also your girlfriend says you drink too much, it's a huge sign to overthink your drinking patterns. Well, this might be the usual thing parents say when you get really wasted, but that's not the case here.

They say it because you do drink (and by drinking I do not mean 1 or even 2 beer, that's alright I guess, but 4++) almost each day (and that (semi-)alone), which is definitely alot.

Try to just stop it now. If it's no problem after all, it's fine, and probably still for the better you stopped now. If it's not that easy, it's even more important to stop.

Dude I'm the same as you but I didn't turn 21 I just have a foreign passport so the month/day is backwards and I use that to buy liquor (real birthday 11/02/89, fake birthday 02/11/89 = MONEY). Depending on my day, I drink 4-12 beers a day, minimum. I tried to take a 1 week break and I only lasted 44 hours LOL until I came home after the facebook movie where they drink in front of the computer all the time so what was I supposed to do right? I act completely normal and I don't get wasted most of the time (parties are an exception sometimes), I function normally and do things like go to work and hang out (without drinking), etc. The way I see it, it's only a problem if YOU feel it is affecting your life negatively. Be honest with yourself.
