I've realized that since the day that I turned 21... I keep drinking less and less and less. Now it's like once a month : |

i've heard that a lot. once ppl turn 21, they've partied out. loll
i drink now & then.. probably only at parties or when all my friends from back home get together

I think I drink a lot more often, but it's more social drinking. I almost never get drunk like back in college.. I can't take it like I used to, must be getting old o.O

Sometimes I really like having a beer after work though, esp when I get home after 2-3 am. It's not even so much the beer itself that is enjoyable, I think it's more the symbolism.. hahha, it's like 'your day has officially ended, congrats!'

I find I drink on a more regular basis but much less than I used to, if that makes sense. Like, I will drink 1-2 drinks a week but I very rarely drink to get drunk anymore.

about once a month.. not a big drinker tongue.gif

I don't drink as much as I'd like to.
Probably b/c I'm a social drinker and all our buddies are moving away, there aren't many people to hang out with anymore (at least not enough of the ones I actually want as company).

I guess it depends on how we define "drinking". I think many of us consider "drinking" to be a party, get together, night out, etc. In that case, I'd say maybe once every two months on average (not even). Now if its just a bottle of beer during a game, glass of wine during dinner, or a small glass of liquor to just relax, I do it quite often; 3-4x a week.

not often at all..probably once every 1-2 months.
Champagne*kisses
I don't drink that much really, just whenever it is a special occasion or hanging out with friends and we go eat and drink somewhere.

Once a week, usually wine with dindins.
pochacco
Well I'm only 20 but turning 21 next week. I usually party at leeeast once a month, usually more than that though. I wonder how and if it will change after my 21st bday.
kitanablade3
I only drink with friends or with my brother & dad. Not very often. Never did believe in drinking by myself
I've never been a big drinker anyway, but it is less than when I was a teenager even...
derrek
Once a month? maybe twice... beer more often in the summer because its nice and yum yum out
private
not that often maybe once a month smile.gif
Meenuh
Lol i'm like that too. Since I graduated high school I drink less and less. I never drink to get trashed and when I do drink something I have like a beer or a cocktail. That's not that often either. Maybe a couple times a month. I've never been the party type.
missakky
i can go months without drinking alcohol and then one month drink maybe 2x
*wenDzie^^*
i don't drink often anymore..
i am starting to get rash on my body

i think there's a period of after u turn 21, 22 u stop drinking
then u hit 27, 28 and realise ur soon to be 30
and the drinks start again lol
(my friends who are around 28 drinks about 3 times a night.. geesh)
thewhereabouts
A drink a day.

Studies have also indicated that one drink a day may prevent some sort of disease for men according to British studies. Makes it more of an incentive to drink!

Yes, yes..I know my limits and I am not an alcoholic (Though they say these are the exact words of the alcoholic) biggrin.gif

occasionally....
last time i drank was like 5+ months ago.
brian032
I'm 20, but the last drink I had was 3 years ago. So I'm guessing that would be once out of every three years?
selvaspeedy
lol I don't drink at all!! never drank before and I'm not intending to drink! must keep my body healthy hehehe tongue.gif
squishybear
Since I've turned 21, I've been drinking a lot more. About a couple times a week. I don't drink for the sole purpose of getting buzzed or drunk... I'll have a beer to substitute for that one glass of wine that doctors recommend everyday.
InSong

same here. before i used to drink a lot, like after school we drink.
almost every weekend. then i get tired, or shall i say it gives me less pleasure
compared to what i get from it before. i still hang out with them but i dont drink with them.
now, i only drink when there's an occasion. birthdays, christmas, new year..

you must try it, its really fun specially when you're with ur friends. just drink in small volume.
nKat
I think alcohol is disgusting.

That about sums up how often I drink.
ahndee
I'm not much of a drinker, I drink probably every two months. I wake up with a bunch of pimples on my face if I drink lol.
livingdeaddoll
not often. once a month?
ummm even when im at social gatherings where i have to drink, i always try to wriggle my way out of it.
lhaena
i'm the opposite.. i have been drinking more since i turned 21.
I have a beer or 2, cocktail, or glass of wine almost everyday
(not an alcoholic! but.. only time i question myself is when i come home around 8am after night shift and have couple of shots of vodka.. haha of course, it's to help me sleep)

i don't drink to get wasted.. that happens 2-3 times a month

ironically at work, i take care of people with liver failure from ALCOHOL.. then I go home to drink

Liver needs to Recover!
But My Aunt owns an upscale bar/lounge so we would pre-game over there and than hit up the clubs~

I use to drink alot...
but lately I just don't care for it.
It have been months since I have my last liquor.

I go out drinking almost every weekend. Now that I think about it..that may just be the source of my weight gain..I've never been a victim of the "freshmen 15" or beer belly when I was in college (in fact, I was about 20 lbs lighter in college than in high school) yet I've put on about 8-10lbs since I graduated college last year..I blame the mimosas+screwdrives at brunch..the sangrias and wine during my Saturday lunches, and the Patron and Goose shots+beer+soju+girly sugary cocktails on Friday nights. I should cut back..it's hurting my wallet+waistline sad.gif Well..it's just social drinking so it's something I can try to live without or reduce..I'm not the glass of wine with dinner every night type or sipping on bourbon while reading my book before bed type either. whew.
foreverursVi
i only drink occasionally.....i'm mostly a social drinker but considering that i have a lot going on i have to schedule time to go out...but when i'm on vacation anything goes...=D...i was on vacation last week and aside from the altitude sickness, it was pretty good...=]
ayahuasca
back home it was once or twice a week. My family loves red wine. Now that i'm living alone i rarely drink, although when my parents came to visit me we drank every second night and we caned 2 bottles of champagne when we went out to dinner...
Azune
I'm a social drinker, i enjoy wine and finer beer preferably Belgian :3

probably go out to drink or to a party 1-2 times a week, barely ever get drunk so i should be relatively fine ;p
longbong
i put vodka and sprite in an empty SoBe bottle, and drink it in lecture. i've been doing this for about 6 months now, on and off. the lectures are unbearable yet a requirement. its the only way i can get through it.
Tr710
Every day or else I'd dehydrate.

As for alcoholic beverages, it's once or twice a month. It ranges from 2-6+ drinks, depending on the occasion.
Temoin la Nuit
Man, I really agree with the OP..

I used to drink about 3-4 times a week (Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun) or so.. now that I'm corporate, I barely drink at all. At most maybe once every few weeks (socially), or a glass of scotch when I'm in the mood.
juicejuice
I only drink occasionally...even when I was in my teens... I wasn't into alcohol. I didn't need it to have fun or to fit in even when my friends pressure me. Now probably when I go out and social, of course it depends on the place I am going.
rachilde
When I was younger I was drunk 4 days a week, including exam weeks. Now, I drink much less. A lot of it has to do with pleasant company or lack thereof. Another is dealing with how to get home from the bar now that you've got a car to take care of. I like to drink in places where there's dancing or anarchists or, you know, trouble in general. Unfortunately, there aren't that many grimy places to drink in now that I'm in law school.
angelZ
I drink once a week now....usually on Sat. nights lol
It's a big drop from drinking every other day...but then again, I don't think my liver can handle that anymore!
LennyRin
im only 20 and im already done with drinking and partying lol.. xD .. but i drink on occasion.. we usually have a bottle of some sort of wine in our fridge just in case people come over and want a drink.. but damn i hate beer lol..

i tend to drink on occasion tho.. and whenever i go out clubbing or whatnot.. i dont think ive ever gone to a club sober.. O_O
mazdaspeedrx8
i used to be a crazy drinker like every night then go to work the next day lol. after I turned 24 I started slowing down a bit and now im just really lazy lol.

I think it really depends on how crazy you go drinking when you were younger. The crazier you were, the earlier you would start quittin lol
Gamecock28
I'm one of those weirdos who never drinks and has never been drunk. ohmy.gif I'm not religious or allergic, I just have never liked the taste of alcohol. The smell of some types of alcohol is enough to make me want to throw up (Baijiu, I'm talking about you!). Needless to say the bar scene isn't really my thing dry.gif unless they've got a happenin' dance floor. biggrin.gif Really, you can only drink so much watered-down coke.
CherryColors
Here the age limit of drinking is 18, so everyone starts sooner (illegaly of course). When I started drinking it was legal to drink alcho for anyone at any age. Two years after that that rule came..

And when I got legal in my country I got bored of partying and drinking. Now I rarely drink, and if I do, I do it just for the taste itself. Sometimes a glass of wine goes well with my meal.. smile.gif
Jee-Wan
i usualy have a six pack of beers most nights.. n on the weekend usually have about 1-2 bottles of whisky
i like having a few drinks after a day of studying/work

brownman90561495

janelleski
