Close to 1 single of whiskey every 2-3 weeks.

>>14991257
I average around 30 units a day.

>>14991257
Bought 0.5l of Moskovskaya yesterday. Almost empty now and I wasn't even drunk.

Alcohol poisons your liver and causes poor judgment

>>14991289
But thats what I want

>>14991289
I drink lots of vodka. That cleans out my system, and even cleans my teeth (I haven’t brushed in years, and haven’t had a cavity since).

I also eat a liverwurst sandwich pretty much every day – to counterbalance the effects the vodka has on my liver. I make my sandwiches on seeded rye (because it’s the healthiest bread), with mayo (because eggs are the best protein; I use kewpie, because the msg makes it taste better), coarse mustard (good for the white blood cells), zucchini pickles (because they taste good), and a bunch of baby spinach (just for filler; it could honestly be left out).

I also eat a lot of canned fish (mostly sardines, but also the occasional fancy smoked oysters) on saltines. They give you all your essential amino acids, and provide a nice opportunity to try out various hot sauces, which are generally very low in calories, while high in flavor and immensely prodigious to healthiness.

Aside from that, I drink large amounts of water (anywhere between ice-cold to slightly chilled) every day, always through a straw, and sometimes with a lemon wedge.

To each their own, I say, but I’m just shy of 30 and am doing better than most of you.

on your scale 40+ when I still drank

>>14991257
Used to drink about 17-18 units per day. 4 months sober. Tried some gin the otherday because I had insane cravings. Tasted disgusting. I immediately wanted to vomit and the high was not enjoyable. I felk weak and like I had a fever. I still have cravings even right now but I also don't want to feel the effect or taste the stuff. Crazy.

>>14991309
in a day that is didnt notice you said week

>>14991257
About a pint of hard liquor nightly

>>14991257
568mL of 5% beer is 1.6 units
500mL of 40% vodka is 11.3 units

What country are you in and what the fuck are you drinking?

>>14991304
thanks for the pasta

i drink 12 beers every night 365 days a year, been doing this for at least 5 years now

>>14991334

>>14991257
Based on your scale between 14-52 units per week depending if I want to go on a bender on the weekend or not.

About 20 units of vodka and 2 shots of jaeger every night. Been doing this for over 10 years

I have two pints on a long weekend but that's about it.

>>14991356
Ah so 10mL pure alcohol per unit. I'm using the American Standard Drink which is 17.75mL (14g) pure alcohol.

Use the Japanese standard drink so you feel better.

>>14991382
For reference.

>>14991374
Pints of what?

>>14991408
Beer, duh. No one drinks liquor by the pint.

>>14991415
you'll be surprized

>>14991257
If you are a limp wristed Democrat you're going to need a shitload of alcohol in a few days. Lot's of alcoholic seltzer and wine coolers I suspect.

Don't hurt yourselves sweeties. You can try again in 2024.

>>14991257
Actually 568 ml is more like 1.72 units for standard beer (4.6%)

>>14991425
Hot sauce thread guys!!! Get in here!!!

>>14991433
>drinking beer under 5% ABV

>>14991435
Byeden!

>>14991438
If the beer is 5% then 568 ml is 1.89 units

>>14991399
Denmark is the gold standard -- 1 genstand = 12g/15ml alcohol

>>14991456
What is your unit system based on? You shouldn't have to use decimals when drinking common drinks.

>>14991477
15 ml pure alcohol = 1 unit

units = (volume)/15*(% alc as decimal fraction)

>>14991489
American standard is easy. If you drink a 12oz (355mL), then it's ABV/5 = units.

>>14991504
It is pretty based

>>14991504
Every country has defined it so it suits their drinking culture.
In most countries, including Denmark, a bottle (or can) is 330 ml.
Carlsberg is 4.6% (same as many pilsners like Miller and Corona)
So for me I drink 1 bottle of Carlsberg and that's 1 unit exactly.

>>14991311
I wish you luck and warn not to be complacent. I went 5 months easy...relapsed once and been back to my old habits everyday.

>>14991257
fuck I'm not doing the math on that shit. I have on avg about 2-3 cocktails a day although I don't have one every day and I usually have more on the weekends depending on my mood. Currently sipping some Amaro Alta Verde.

>>14991640
Yeah, has happened to me before. Thought this was gonna be the case again but miraculously I haven't started drinking again even after that first initial drink. Maybe this time it's final?

>>14991257
Around about 161 units per week.

I rarely drink. Share a good beer or glass of wine with my gf when cooking on occasion. Sometimes drink at social gatherings. On average i probably drink 1 beer a week. I wish the alcoholics out there all the best. Can't imagine what shit you are going through.

I drink 2 6-packs a night of Heineken and then wear wet socks to sleep.

>>14991304
When are you turning 30?

>>14992003
Around 5 years ago.

Anon, please drink responsibly.

>>14991257
whatever 20-26 oz of vodka a night is

>tfw weekend alcoholic who drinks a few 9% 6-packs of beer on the weekend
Why is it either "pints of vodka a night deathspiral" or "a couple occasionally"? I feel like a moderate but I can't relate to any of you.

>>14992456
I've gone through 3 cases of beer in the last ten days not including the drinking in bars/restaurants and I can't relate to anyone.

10 maximum.
I'm taking medication that fucks up my liver so I can't get hung over every single day.

>>14992674
Assuming 1 case is 24 beers, that's about 7/day. Practically moderate. Enough to wake up for work without still being drunk.

I did that for 5 days and it was great. Started feeling a connection to the game I was playing while drinking, while not going overboard and embarrassing myself. I remember those days fondly.

70-140 units a week ish

>>14991257
>0.5 liter of vodka = 20 units
Then I drink about 8-14 units every time we go drinking. Which is about 1-2 times fortnightly.

>>14991257
I drink 1.75l of whiskey per week.

Alcohol is a carcinogenic toxic solvent. It dulls the mind and poisons the body. The "high" is akin to huffing butane - it is synonymous with brain damage and degeneration.

>>14991415
>No one drinks liquor by the pint.

a lot of posters here do

>>14993474
Prove it.

>>14993474
You suck dicks don't you?

>>14991257
50 a week I guess

Used to drink about two mickey's to 1-2 750 mL a day just over a year ago. I began heavy drinking about 12 years ago, but a friend finally stepped in when no one else would a year ago when I was basically on my death bed multiple times, had me move in with her, sobered me up, got me on meds/got me help...I've never looked back. Shit ain't worth it.

Wish I could say I did it by myself, but frankly it felt impossible. My family didn't do a goddamned thing other than ostracizing me and telling me to "get help". Like what the fuck man. Just GET HELP MAN DAT SIMPLE.

Fuck addiction and fuck booze.

>>14991257

I would say about 140 a week, but I've cut back a lot recently

>>14993732
Yeah, it is damn near impossible to do it on your own. Getting over an addition isn't the same as going to a doctor. You need someone who is basically wiling to babysit you and give you support when you need it.

It is easy to slip back into addiction when there is no one else who actually gives a shit about you.

>>14993765
Yeah, anyone who thinks/says it's that simple must not have had a full blown addiction. Or maybe I'm just weak willed, who knows. But my God there was no way I was coming out of that shit alive by myself.

What do you do when you drink so much that your shit is basically liquefied into porridge and falling out of your ass

I drink 12-15 units a day, sometimes more, sometimes less (when I'm hungover), so approx. 100 units per week.
I have been drinking everyday for 8 years now. I often feel like shit, but it's hard to stop. Alcohol helps to cope with this hellish world, until it becomes another problem on top of the rest, but then you drink more to dull your mind for a fleeting moment.
>>14993832
Do you drink cider? It tends to do that. Also eat more.

On a slow week I can drink a gallon of vodka in a week. If I really put my mind to it I can finish off 2.

20-30 units a day

>>14991257
I used to drink 20 units a day but now I'm sober

>>14992456
I'm on a slightly different path, I do that when I'm around people and not at all when I'm on my own.
>tfw can go through entire bottle of gin in one go at a party but will spend months without drinking anything just fine

I don't know man. I'm having some Maker's Mark tonight. I might drink half the bottle I might drink less. I will definitely drink with my buddies on election night. I probably won't drink for at least a week after that.
When I move to a legal state I won't drink at all though. Marijuana is much more enjoyable and affordable (the way I use it at least).

>>14991257
normally I have a drink about once or twice a year. but recently someone gave us a bottle of amaretto from about 1988 and I have been drinking that. About the equivalent of 2 or 3 shots a week, when the bottle is empty I will go back to 1 or 2 drinks a year.

>" Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again." Proverbs 23:29-35

About a bottle of wine and 4 beers in a week
The beers on the weekend and the wine is more spread out, i will have a glad every other day

Four-six pints of bottom shelf vodka a week. I hurt

>>14991261
I drink at least 4 times that amount of whiskey in 1 evening

About 40-60 units a week. I'll drink at least one bottle of whisky or vodka and maybe also a bottle of wine. I also wash it all down with cider, which is about 5%. I have done this for about 8 years. I have aged visibly. I feel pain in my side quite often. I always think I'll go sober for a while but then end up making any excuse I can to drink after about 1 day sober. I want to go to the doctor but then when I'm about to go I talk myself out of it with excuses like "I can quit by myself" and so on. I have a young son and a wife and am the sole financial support for them so I really need to stop soon.

>>14998922
How much is a single of whiskey? I'd actually drink liquor if I could get 375mL bottles. Don't trust myself with any more at a time.

>>14999382
In Bongland a single is 25ml. I drink at least 2 doubles a night, usually more.

>>14991257
I quit drinking because every time I did I'd end up going on a 4-day long bender with serious withdrawal afterwards. This was exacerbated when I was in the company of some jobless friends. Made it fucking impossible to keep up with my responsibilities and my spending while drunk was out of control.

>>14991257
I'm addicted to alcohol. Not in a degenerate way but I always want a couple beers sometime in the evening to wind down as I'm watching TV or playing some games. Every Friday or sometimes Saturday I'll have a 6 pack to myself and grab some take-out. I have been trying to curb this thirst as of late but the nights feel so boring being sober and the urge hits hard. I gained some weight due to doing fuck all in the house during the start of covid and the nightly beers, so I'm not super happy with my physique currently. Is there anyone else who has this struggle?

>>15001730
Doesn't seem that bad if it's only the weekends. I used to drink myself blackout drunk every weekend just a year back but then quit because I couldn't handle it anymore

>>15001730
>>15001699
can relate to both. you are absolutely not alone my friend. The grind of getting off work with "nothing to do" and just thinking of booze as "something to do - in a bottle", but it's a trap. I felt myself on autopilot walking to the liquor store, like one of those brain-parasites that pilots the ant's brain to climb up on the leaf to be eaten by the bird. Slam vodka as fast as I can so I can be coming down around the time I try to go to sleep - as if that made any difference in my night's sleep or mornings-after. I went clean for a week and figured I'd just get a little 200ml to have with a greasy dinner and the new episode of Fargo. The next night it wasn't even a question, to get the 375, it was just a buck fifty more, and I wouldn't have to drink it all, after all, right? and I blinked and I was staring at the empty bottle. The next day all I could think about was how I just wanted to clock off at 4:30 and be 4 drinks in by 5, but I had some FUCKING errands to run and didn't get home until after 8 and by then I'd had a liter all picked out, and I had to joylessly make up for lost time. Fast forward to the next morning, calling off work, being horrified of how little was left in that bottle, how truly fried my brain was, felt like a nonperson. Cancelled plans later in the day. It just happens, so fast. So fast. I dumped the remainder of the bottle. I'm scared to have more again.

Fast forward to the next morning, calling off work, being horrified of how little was left in that bottle, how truly fried my brain was, I lost my whole wednesday. It just happens so fast I'm scared to have more again. Still the thought occurred to me tonight, that some beer might be pleasant. But I've been dry since I dumped the stuff. Feels better that way. Long road, though. But I went for a walk and if that sunset wasn't nice, I don't know what is.

When I was a line cook only some years ago I was the same way. Get home and party or drink until I passed out or ran out. Wake up hungover sweat it out with a gatorade and a coffee and bam ready to drink mere hours later. I've moved up to corporate life which is nice and cozy but also boring and just a tiny bit soul crushing without something to spice it up or more honestly numb the bleakness. I am fully aware of the slippery slope and have fallen down it many times. It's been a while since a major slip up or a morning where I woke up and went "what the fuck is wrong with me?". It's easy to blame Covid for fucking up the world but I truly believe if everything was normal I'd not be having this back and forth relationship with alcohol. Fack

When I drink I can't stop but I only drink once a week. I drunk over 3 bottles of wine Saturday into Saturday night and offended 3 people very close to me by hitting on a friend (whose in relationship) and being an absolute fucking idiot by saying things I don't actually sober believe in.

I've ruined my only social contact outside of my household that I have. I want to kill myself today but I don't think I will.

Has anyone else have alcohol anxiety for over 3 days and how have they delt with it? I want to stop drinking completely but it's engrained into the culture where I'm from.

>>15002847
>I've ruined my only social contact outside of my household that I have.
>it's engrained into the culture where I'm from.
Well, with no social contacts, just stop drinking, and see if anything at all about your life gets worse. Even if you are having a bad day, consider whether the bad day will be made better or worse with drinking.

>>15002853
This is good advice, but it's coming up to the time of year when people drink the most. I want to somehow admit I have a problem to my friends without using it as an excuse to why I was fucked.

I'm having a bad day all the time and only drink on Saturdays.

>>15002859
>I want to somehow admit I have a problem to my friends without using it as an excuse to why I was fucked.
Admitting to your friends that you have a problem can feel cringe, so if you don't want to do it, don't do it. Come up with some other way to not drink. If your friends are interested in getting drunk, I guarantee you they won't spend the whole evening wondering why you are not drinking. They'll spend most of it getting shitfaced properly.

>>14991271
This pretty much.
Last week I drank around 4 or 5 litres of vodka and a crate of 18 cans of cider.

>>15003717
You'll be dead before the years over

>>14991257
A 750ml bottle on Saturdays split between me and my wife

100-110 really

>>15003740
lol no, actually alcoholics drink for decades before they die. People seem to think you drink and then die shortly after.

1 liter of vodka at least
so 40+ units

not that bad

Take care of yourselves anons. Death from liver failure is very painful.

>>14991257
I don't drink every week, I'd advise anyone not to drink hard liquor every day but to each his own I guess. I might drink one weekend or maybe like a week every month or two. Both of my parents are alcoholics though, so if I don't watch myself I'd be fucked.

>>14991257
just drink at least 2 cups of coffee a day and your liver is immune to cirrhosis

>>14991257
.5l of 80 proof liquor is 8 units

>>15005054
12 units*

>>15001730
your doctor can give you a pill to help stop
but you're doing pretty good. a 6 pack on weekends and a couple beers on weekdays is maintainable into old age if you're male.
If you were doing a fifth of liquor every day it'd be more concerning

>>14991257
5 beers a day. Fuck units.

>>14991289
>and causes poor judgment
This how I got hot chicks to flash their tits and run down the street naked. If everyone is drunk it's all good in the hood.

>>14991257
9 units a day for the last 5 years. Am i going to die?

I'm about to put some units of tequila in my belly

god I hate this nasty shit but it's the only liquor I have

>>14991257
I drink on average two 33 cl bottles of Belgian beer every day, so 14 a week. It's strong beer so I think they count as two units, making it 28 units a week.

In my prime about 200 units a week.
Now I drink only 4 days a week and much less than i did two years ago, maybe 1.5 litres of whiskey and 28 cider/beers, the cider is between 6-8% though so around 130 units per week

>>14991257

>>15007467
Sunday-Thursday: about 50 units. Friday and Saturday: about 40 units. So weekly approx 90 units, give or take
