Drinking

[bigo1966]

Just wondering many people crack open a cold one after work? I usually have a beer or 2 after work. Think this is a problem or normal? Heck back in the day i wouldnt think twice about it, now that im getting older i do. Or im just getting paranoid.

[theirishavenger]

I don't buy beer too often, but I do have a bottle of Scotch I'll tap into maybe once or twice a week. Hell, I thought THAT was pushing it, but I have a kid and I don't want her thinking daddy's a drunk. I don't think a coupla beers a night is a big deal though.

[DaJudge]

One double scotch on the rocks each night. Used to be two but I cut back as part of my new health kick.

[Cresso]

Beer makes me sleepy. I don't like drinking it during the week because I have little enough free time as it is. Two beers and I'm ready for bed before the sun goes down. That's no good.

[LockDown]

I gotcha beat!
I have at least 6 Natural Ice beers a night, helps me get to sleep.
But once I pop open a beer, I don't drive anywhere.

[Cresso]

Natural Ice? By choice?

[rubbersidedown]

I can only drink socially. I can't just drink sitting at home doing nothing. Even then it's usually a Crown-n-7, just can't do the beer thing as I get older for some reason.

[Ooompa Loompa]

I have 30 gallons of homebrew at home, and it's not gonna drink itself!!!

[LockDown]

Natural Ice? By choice?


Yeah, It's cheap :flipoff2:

[RebelRescuer]

I encourage hubby to have a beer after work. Then he gets sleepy and is easier to manipulate. :D

Me: Here sweetie, have a beer.

Him: Ok, just one (he's not a drinker)

20 minutes later....

Me: I spent A LOT of money today.

Him: That's Ok. I love you.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[el-cheapo]

I would like a beer right now but my buddy POS OWNER is a heavy drinker and doesnt like to leave many laying around for to long......... so needless to say... I don't get to drink much:shrug: If I go buy beer he will think it's for him then it gets pretty expensive to buy a 12 pack and only get 2 out of each box. So I am drinking wine now:D wine for my whine:eek: :flipoff2: :beer:

whiner I thinks the last 12 pack of bud I left in your fridge dissappeared pretty quick while I was out fishing:flipoff:

[Dagimp]

I drink to much.

[el-cheapo]

whiner I thinks the last 12 pack of bud I left in your fridge dissappeared pretty quick while I was out fishing:flipoff:

You where gone for 4-5 days and If I remember clearly you left about 6-7 out of the twelve pack hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm




and there was at least 2 left when you got back:eek: and you drank them:flipoff2:

[POS owner]

those two tasted good though:D

[ChiliPepper / Kenny]

I'm a service advisor. Having a cold beer or two after work is in the job description. It helps to wipe away all the demoralization from ungrateful, rude, and psychotic people i put up with on a daily basis.

Dude...Exercise and drink 5 or 6 and night. You'll be fine.

[el-cheapo]

I drink to much.

here we have a problem... but with a plus to it....:D some people can admit there problem:thumbsup: it shows that one day they might not be and alcoholic any more:shrug: And that they won't have to drink there problems away any more:D













But on a more serious note :flipoff2: :shrug: :idea:

[CapnCrunch]

Sometimes one or two beers. Sometimes one or two glasses of wine. Sometimes nothing. Goes in phases. For the last month or two, I haven't had anything at home. Other times I might have something almost every night. I guess it depends if I have something in the house.

Some shiraz sounds good about now. :drunk:

[mtntj]

1 or 2 that's a problem, 7 or 8 that's normal:D :D :beer:

[MountainJeep]

hmmm 3-4 beers maybe every other night...the other nights 1-2. I love beer!!!!!

heck sometimes 5

[MountainJeep]

umm I forgot. drinking a Full Sail Amber right now

[ColoradoXJ]

Beer makes me sleepy. I don't like drinking it during the week because I have little enough free time as it is. Two beers and I'm ready for bed before the sun goes down. That's no good.

sounds PERFECT to me :P

after a 10-hr day hiking around cutting trees, i really do enjoy a nice :beer: or :beer: :beer: and then sleepytime.

[bigo1966]

Sweet, then im not going to think twice about it. it seems after work im always doing something around the house, and a cold one just goes well with it. And i swear i lay better looking beads after a beer or 2, i think its cause my nervs slow down or something.

[bigo1966]

let me clarify, beads=welding.

[JR4X]

I drink beer every night after I get home from work. The crappier the day the better the beer! My wife and I drink a 15 gal keg a month just the two of us and thats at only a couple of mugs a night. No worries mate :beer:

[Oscar]

bought a 6 pack of beer three months ago got 5 left

[Big Kev]

I thought people quit the Natty beer after college?

I normally have a beer or a glass of wine a couple times a week after work.

[CannonBall]

Tonight was great, rode my bike from about 5-6:30 got home around 7. I sat down outside, smoked a cheap cigar and drank 2 beers, good times. It's not standard, but also not unusual to drink one or two after work.
-Nate

[Loki]

I'll drink a few beers on Friday nights and Saturdays. Hardly ever drink during the week.

[zoriloco]

I'll go get me a six pack monday after work that gets me thru 2-3 days then its back to the liquor store for another six pack. Come Saturday I go get me a 12 pack.

Then do it all over again.

[SuicideTireZJ]

I'm on number two for the night, probably gonna get through at least 4 while I finish up homework. And I drink BECAUSE of work, not just after...

[supremebeholder]

I can count on one hand the instances where I?ve had alcoholic beverages, usually champagne or wine at weddings or new years.

So compared to me you're all alcoholics. :D

[CLYDE]

I only drink socially, and thats maybe every few months at most. The one exception I make, is if Im in Sturgis or Daytona, Then I am a lush for a week straight:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[potter]

i just got off work, so no cracking one open for me. i was utterly wasted at the bowling alley this afternoon though. was kinda fun stumbling around and barely able to walk in the middle of the day on a wednesday. everyone thought i was nuts.

[FORMULA51]

i definitely drink too much. i'm actually in the process of quitting, as it's been costing me way too much. I checked my bank account this monday morning and i blew over 200 at the bar friday night.

i won't be doing that again. over the last few months i've cut out drinking after work. Now i'm cutting drinking on the weekends. It's actually starting to feel good.


But don't get me wrong... the super sticky will always have a place in my heart.. :smokin:

[JeepWheelin02]

I usualy have one beer when I get home from work. But when you buy it by the keg, it lasts a while. I think the shortest a keg has lasted has been 3 weeks, and the longest so far is 4 months.

[Dagimp]

i definitely drink too much.... i blew over 200 at the bar friday night.

And you drink at the wrong places! :eek:

Or he bought a lot of rounds. If that's it I want to hang out with him. :D

[ZappBranigan]

bought a 6 pack of beer three months ago got 5 left

Back when I was single I would go through roughly a case of beer a month.

Since I got together with Liz my drinking has dropped off dramatically, probably for the good. I quoted Oscar's comment above because it mirrors my experience. We bought a case of Corona for a party at our house last August and we still have most of it in the garage.

Honestly I don't miss it. I'm in better shape now and not spending so much $$ of beer. And I never got into liquor, so that's not an issue either. We probably have 20 bottles of wine around the house that people have given us as gifts and I think we go through maybe one or two bottles of wine a year. :D

That is part of the job. I've never met a service writer who was not a borderline drunk. Or at the bear minimum can crush a 12 pack in the rear parking lot of the dealership with no remorse. :eek: :D

The automotive industry will make you hit the bottle..... :eek:

[Leon Phelps]

Personally I have nights when I don't even touch the stuff.... Some nights, we fall off the wagon pretty hard. I'm getting away from the 200+ dollar nights at the bar.....

Due to personal reasons, I've let go of the bottle a LOT..... its still around, just nowhere near as hard as I used to be. The only bad vice I have left..... :shrug:

[FORMULA51]

ya ordering rounds for 4 guys, isn't exactly a good idea if you plan on having money left the next morning... memory too!

[Leon Phelps]

Unfortunatly, many, MANY people on this board have witnessed me "falling off the wagon" apparently it's a blast for them, mind numbing and painful for me :D

gotta admit you falling off the wagon, or wagoneer, or what ever is a good time, course you'd be better off staying away for that hard shit, it's costly and too easy to drink way to fast and then of course it does suck when ya can't remember puking on your own tent:flipoff:

I recomend a blue ribbon diet from now on for ya, yes I drink way too much beer myself but at least I don't have the taste or urge for that hard liquer demon anymore:D

[shunt]

I only drink while I'm awake....:shrug:


The rest of the time, I don't touch the stuff....

[DaJudge]

Who said,"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they get up in the morning that's the best they are going to feel for the whole rest of the day"?

[Colin]

Prob too much for my age.

Capt n coke's...usually.

[KC 06 LJ]

Who said,"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they get up in the morning that's the best they are going to feel for the whole rest of the day"?
i believe it to have been winston churchill and i add this jewell of his when a lady walked up to winston in a bar and announced mr churchhil you sir are drunk he replied by saying yes madam i am drunk however in the morning i will be sober but you will still be ugly:flipoff2:


side note some nites a case of corona some nites none some nites a bottle of makers some nites none. it balances out to about 3-4 per nite i like the bingeing
though.:tisk: you sound pretty responsible to me.:D and i put down better welds while drinking as well. i have been told that i can do some trick stuff that i dont remember building the next day:shrug:

I think it was W C Fields but don't know for sure.:shrug: :confused: Maybe Sam Clemons. I'm still waiting for life to catch up with my drinking. Quit in 1990 but I've still got a ways to go.:o

[SCOUTMAN67]

My grandmother over in Germany would drink .5L of good German beer every single night with dinner. She passed away earlier this year at 89 due to a stroke.

A coworker in her early 80's drinks a martini every night and she's a quick as a whip.

One or two beers a night is probably better for you than 1-2 cans of pop.

Corona????? People actually drink that stuff? :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

[ColoradoXJ]

drinkin a jameson and coke tonight :P


yeah, one or two drinks after work is all i can handle anymore... i had a bad 9 months or so where i was workin at the bar, going to school, and avoiding being home where i'd spend WAY too much money and WAY too much time in that same bar... luckily i'm back to a normal job, so that chit has to go away. don't like wakin up hungover anymore... especially now that summer is here.


and since we're doing beer quotes... who was it that said "beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy"...? wasn't it einstien? :hail:

No--Ben Franklin.

[Rex Ashton]

Definitely drink more beer than I should....Usually at least a couple of beers at night, but if I crack one open at 5:00, it'll be more than a couple.

I'd rather not calculate what it costs per month, but it's not bar tabs --- never really did much of the bar thing even during the younger years. However, I definitely go through more barley bucks during the summer months.

Every so often I"ll go through a week or two where I don't have a taste for it, and not have any....Wife will get a little worried and ask if I'm feeling OK :D

Currently on my 2nd beer :beer:

Nope, Frank Sinatra. He had a couple of other good ones:

"Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy. (http://216.93.167.235/quotation/alcohol_may_be_man-s_worst_enemy-but_the_bible/151936.html)?

"Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels. (http://216.93.167.235/quotation/basically-i-m_for_anything_that_gets_you_through/151938.html)?

[cheftyler]

Any service oriented industry will make you hit the bottle..... :eek:

Fixed that for ya :D

[ColoradoXJ]

Fixed that for ya :D

yep. for sure... :thumbsup:

[Leon Phelps]

All this talk of liquor..... I think I need to put on some Billy Joel and celebrate life with a Tonic & Gin.

[jnschwie]

Dude...Exercise and drink 5 or 6 and night. You'll be fine.

I used to drink beer every other day or so.
There's a ton of empty calories in alcohol, so I treat it as a, well, treat now.

I track every calorie I consume (early in tri-season), so I'm way cut back on beer for now.

[zoriloco]

Thank you very much!! :D

[Gags]

The ER Doctor who lives next door to me swears that drinking 5 drinks per day is actually good for the heart.

[osirus82]

i agree, very seldom do i drink on either sunday or during the week, i have liquor at home and it will be there for many more months, everytime i think about having a drink at home i feel like a lush, the other day i was think about a straigt vodka with some frozen strawberries in it but decided drinking vodka alone makes me sound like a bum. but if im camping or its the weekend its freaking on. and i guess if my life and house didnt depend on my job maybe id be more of a lush but since it does i dont mess around, cant afford to lose my job.

Calories in booze really are a killer, I usually figure on 1 mile jogging per shot (directly), but rarely make that unless I'm with my dad (he's crazy). That said, while I would like to lose weight, to get to where I want requires giving up so many things I love, so I'd rather have a nice compromise on weight and enjoying sweets and libations.
-Nate

[osirus82]

im thinking bout drinkin later, i love friday, here's the normal friday flow, wakeup 4:45am get wet, go to work til 230 head to the bar park the car, go across the street to argarnot get small bottle jeagermeister and red bull or go fast, take a little walk around 13th finish the prereq, go to sanchos for happy hour ( buy one get one and free pool ) drink a couple for happy hour while curing my billiards obsession, around 5 pm take a walk toward downing st and pick up some sushi ( killer deal between 5pm-6pm 1/2 off sushi menu) usually have 3-4 rolls and couple pieces of smoke salmon. head back to the bar grab a crown and coke find a pool game and waste the night away, then either a taxi or take 15 bus home.

other times i just take a half day off work, leave the office 1030am go home pickup the pistola and go to the range for a couple hours, then back home clean up myself and pistola then off to the bar usually leave the car home and take the 15 back downtown. always a good time, hell im thinkin bout taking off a 1/2 day today.

anyone else here like to get solshed and shoot some 8ball? maybe well have to meet up sometime.

on sunday day i usually just shot some pool at the house ( i have a 9X5 table) then go to the local tourney and smash i am always in the top 5 people and usually take some cash home. but no drinking.

[GRNMEG359]

Probably see you at sanchos, or at arganauts. Be down there this afternoon maybe for the colfax crawl. Or just sit in the lions liar...don't know yet.

Drink PBR every night, cause everynight i am working on the heep. Just doesn't seem right with out a little beer to keep the joints loose.

[osirus82]

i usually walk by the lions layer every friday somtimes saturday night too, they dont have pool table in there do they?, after i leave sanchos i usualy walk to either the satire or the other bar right there, the yeager drinks at the squire or satire are pretty cheap like 5 bucks. has a lot of nice local people quite interesting.

on saturday the cheapest and best deal in town that i found is the park tavern like dollar wine well and drage from like 6pm midnight somthing crazy like that, i usually get too drunk, last time i was there i had a club sandwhich and like 7 rum and cokes tab 11.00$ so tip well and venture back home.

[GRNMEG359]

i usually walk by the lions layer every friday somtimes saturday night too, they dont have pool table in there do they?, .
Nope no pool table, local bands, including myself. Thats about all they got there.

[Swat]

:tisk: I don't drink anymore!



































:o OR ANY LESS!!!

Beer belly for proof of that. It has caught me in the last 4 years. Now at age 44. I know if I stopped beer and added back some exercise it would be gone in no time and Id' be healthier for stopping, but I like and enjoy my beer. I think the key is to cut back as you get older and exercise is more important.
