The poll is missing the option which would fit me, unfortunately, which is "I binge drink every weekend but don't tend to drink in between". Unless a friend calls up and asks if I want to go out for a beer midweek, of course...

Too bad this wasn't posted on a Friday or you could've chosen the last option. ;)

Usually only socially, probably 2-3 times a month. I rarely drink to get drunk anymore; there are better means of intoxication, and they leave you with no hangover. ;) But I don't mind a glass of wine or a beer every now and then (preferably McEwan's or Murphy's Stout, maybe a Black and Tan). Whiskey is probably the only hard liqor I'll drink; I've managed to give myself an aversion to most of the others. :D And Bailey's is always good.
 



Can’t. Both my parents are alcoholics, as was my Grandfather and Grandmother. Its pretty near to being fact that alcoholism is genetic.

My truth- I started drinking at five- little sips here and there, stolen from parents and friends of my parents. By twelve my parents taught me to make Screw Drivers, by fifteen there weren’t many drinks I couldn’t make, and by seventeen I realized that my father’s drinking was a real serious problem and that I should quit before I became like him.

Mind you during the years between twelve and seventeen, if I wanted to drink I could. By sixteen I could drink just about of my dad's drinking buddies under the table.

Finally in the end I quit- cold turkey. A few months later Dad asked- “why did you quit drinking,” I was seventeen going on eighteen when we had this talk.

I looked him in the eyes and said as clearly as I could- “because I do not want to be like you,” turn and walked away.

He has been clean and sober for near seventeen years now, because I said that to him.

BTW- your poll should reflect those that have stopped, or those that want to but can't.
 

Never did much care for the taste of most alchohol, except when used for cooking.

Now, gimmie a 12 pack of diet coke and 6 or more donuts and watch out baaybee. Or worse a big cuppa starbucks coffee and 6 or more donuts.

To give you a clue.
My manager has expressly forbidden me from eating 3 or more donuts and starbucks coffee together. The entire department has limited me to 2 donuts and a coffee. Preferably less. :)

On fridays we drink starbucks. I provide the whipped cream.
Yummmmm.
 

Do I drink? Hell yeah! Socially, for the most part. I do plan on drinking many over priced whatevers at the True Tavern at Gen Con, and I'm planning on tracking down Teflon Billy at said convention, to buy him that drink i've been offering.

This is similar to (but probably worse than) the reason why I can't drink coffee (much).
Which might have more to do with the coffee "addicts" I know than with coffee itself, but there you go. :)
 

I'm a social drinker. I don't drink often and usually not when I have to drive home afterwards. If so, then I only drink malt beverages or wine and fairly early in the evening as they make me sleepy. Most of my group may have a drink or two (beer or malt beverage) sometimes during a game but most times not. One guy abstains from drinking as it's against his moral code (think paladin! :) ).
 

If I didn't have to leave the house today and it wasn't noon, I would have a beer with lunch.
but it is noon and I do have to go out so cya

General practice here is to ignore most American name brand beers. They just taste like muddy water with some beer to flavour.

Then again Im partial to SuperShine 11% malt "wine" from Grand Ridge brewries
