Anywhere from 5 drinks a day to 3 drinks a week. It really depends on my day, my night, my mood and my diet at the time.

I drink way too much. During the work week I'll have a couple of drinks every night but every Friday/Saturday I'll get very drunk. I would definitely consider myself an alcoholic even though I've never really done anything about it. I usually just stay in and play video games on the weekend nights and I find it an escape from reality even though I know it's not healthy.

Daily, then weekly, then daily again, then I quit.
Pretty much me. I became an alcoholic and it completely ruined my life. Everyday it's either 10-20 cans of the 500ml strong chu-hi or when things get bad a bottle or 2 of whiskey or until I black out and wake up the next day not knowing where I'm at or what I did and then the cycle continues.
It doesn't help that my whole circle are HEAVY drinkers who for some reason never get a hangover and their livers are fine and dandy hahaha. I used to drink when I wake up and when going to class and during breaks and after class and on every train ride, spent so much money on booze I stopped taking care of myself, got expelled from my university and lost my scholarship (for now) lots of suicide attempts etc etc rehab centers didn't take me in and my gf was stuck with me the drunk bf (shes a heavy drinker too due to her job but it has ZERO effect on her life which I envy so much). I was also heavy on benzos due to my lovely anxiety and went through withdrawals many times but alcohol helped with that tbh.
Kinda went off topic sorry but yeah I've been sober for 5 months now and I wouldn't mind a drink here and there if it ever happens.
Stay strong. I know what that self destructive loop is like. I have never managed to really overcome addiction (alcohol is not one of them yet, but I have several vices). Just forget about it. Don't try to remember any euphoric feelings from drinking. They are a mirage. You will never have that feeling again. If you give in, all you'll feel is a sense of disappointment and a desire to chase something that will never come.
Don't ruin your life.
I say this as I continue to succumb to my vices again and again. It's not an easy road. But you're farther than I'ever ever been. Please stay strong,

None, it's a personal choice made easier by seeing so friends aged 24 coming to an inch of their lives due to alcoholism. Both have long-term girlfriends, University degrees and are intelligent people with a lot to live for. Despite that, alcohol found a way to nearly destroy them.
I'm not saying that everyone ends up that way, but I see a lot of people in their early 20s fall in to its trap. It's another addiction I could do without and money sink I can do without.

A lot less than I used to. Once or twice a week, never ever more than three. Usually two to three vodka tonics and maybe a glass of wine.
It's ironic, I use it as a stress reliever for running six miles a day six days a week (among other life problems). That last day I let myself drink to curb cravings and reward myself. Kind of counter-productive, I know.
I kinda wish I never started drinking though.

Depending on the week, zero to two-three shots a night. I generally take Saturday and Sunday off with Friday being the "get drunk and video game" night.
Been good this week. Only had about a drink a night with nothing on Monday. Last week was more

What's the best beer to drink if you are on a diet?

I've heard Guinness is low on calories. It gets bonus points for actually tasting good.

Around once a week on average, sometimes twice if it's an occasion.

I only drink on Fridays or Saturdays (hardly on both) and get fucked up all by myself 95% of the time. I really, really enjoy drinking alone in my bedroom, listening to albums. I don't know, I enjoy the hell out of that.

I'll wait for the weekends to drink. I tend to have shakes during the week waiting for a drink if I am stressing too much. I'll probably drink 4-5 drink over the weekend.

2-4 times a week. Anywhere from 2-6 beers, occasionally more on the weekend. I drink less during the week than I used to. I drink pretty much every weekend that I'm off work.
Some weeks I'll drink more during the week, though.

Peer pressure, or the power of suggestion will do that to you.

Interesting that as the night draws on, there seem to be a lot more heavier drinkers showing up.
It makes sense, but it's interesting.

At a guess, no more than 5 pints of Beer a year. Alcohol gives me a headache, sometimes after the first mouthful. I prefer to just get a soft drink or something these days.
I'll get the spare room ready for ya.
This website has users from across the globe, I don't think you can draw the conclusions that you are.

Too much lol
Yup. I've reached the point of not enjoying myself without drinking. There was a time for many of years that was not the case, so I know its not true. Guess I'm a "functioning alcoholic." Though, I have quit for several months at a time, but the amount of time I do drink daily outweighs the former.
Long story short, don't start if you've never had a sip. Not worth the risk.
I rarely drink. Never during the week and almost never for dinner at weekends. Only if I am at a restaurant really.
But if there is a party some something I drink. A lot. I have a really high tolerance level for someone my size. 189 cm 75kg. (6 feet 2 inches, 165 lbs). A bottle of Rum is not a problem.
I never get shitfaced. I can control it way better than that. And no I don't get hungover either. So I often get up first and start cleaning while everyone sleeps and then wishes to die.
"Wait until you turn 30!" they said. Turned 30. Nothing is different.

Whatever.
Like, I know people say some alcohol is a "acquired taste," and yes, some mix drinks truly taste great, but even so, straight beer, and straight liquor, at least to me, taste bad to this very day, even after over a decade of drinking. If I am drinking it straight, I'm drinking it BC I want to be buzzed/drunk. That's it. No taste involved.

No more than I deserve! Hopefully I'll be able to keep it together before I get on the plane.

Almost never. I wouldn't refuse a drink if pressured in a social situation, but it's not something I would seek out myself.

Drank a ton in my college days, but now I only drink when I'm around other friends who want to drink. So, maybe every weekend or every other weekend. When I do drink I drink A LOT though. Thankfully, I have a ridiculously high tolerance and don't experience hang overs... I have blacked out on occasion though.
I'm going to be in Vegas tomorrow night until Tuesday afternoon so while it isn't a regular Vegas trip per se (music festival), I do anticipate on being drunk the majority of the trip.
