How much / often do you drink?
Inspired by the smoking thread, how often do you guys drink / spend on drink / what do you drink?
No Bulmers bravado billy big bollocks stuff please, just reality.
I drink some weekends in the summer, BBQ season, the odd beer and a shed load of rum, that's pretty much it, I'd wager I spend less than £50 a year on booze for myself.

I would say I spend about £50 on beer and wine every month for the house.
Probably have a beer or 2 most evenings as I just enjoy it, obviously not drinking to get drunk.
And I reckon in an average month I might go out 3 times and have a fair amount to drink, at a rough guess I would say I spend £50 on alcohol a time, not including other expenses such as food, taxis etc.
So that equates to around £2400. I've never really even tried to calculate it before, but that's surprised me. That's quite a fucking lot in reality!

Only drink os speical occasions's i.e. birthday's, holiday's etc.
When I drink I do spend a fortune so that's why I probably don't do it as much any more.

Hardly ever really. Dont drink during the week, and then weekends, normally drove back home on the friday, once in a blue moon il have a rum n coke when I get back in, if I take missus out im always the driver, and if we go out and get taxi, 95% of the time ive got to drive back to portsmouth on the sunday, so wont have any.
But like you a few bbqs over summer I will have a few.
It doesnt help that Darlington and Portsmouth are shit holes, and Id be gutted to wake up knowing ive spent 80 quid with nothing to show!

I think I probably drink 4 nights of the week, Two of these will be big booze ups and the other 2 just 4 cans or a bottle of wine watching TV with fam/mates.
I make my own wine, cider and beer so it does help keep the costs down so I'd say I probably spend about £100 a month on booze.

Clearly you're not well tasted in the world of Scottish breweries if you think that piss water is good.

I don't really drink. Occasionally have a bottle of newcy brown or nutty black, maybe one a month, and possibly a pint of guinness, again, maybe one a month... Never really have more than one at a time any more though.

For some strange reason I just imagined that you shout "MO FARAHHHHHH" on the vinegar stroke, maybe we should set this as a challenge

If anyone fancies some really nice beer/ale then this is the place to get it from. It's fantastic and a million times better than most supermarket piss water.

Very seldom, will have a couple of bottles of Kronenbourg watching Match of the Day occasional weeks, otherwise Ill go to the pub every few months with a mate I used to kick about with. In fact I drink so seldom I went to a mates wedding the other week, had a champagne while toasting, and a pint, and I felt half pissed.
