But then, I'm brewing and trying to get into pro-brewing, so a lot of this drinking is "research". One of the contributing factors to me moving to the Philadelphia area was the great microbrew scene out here.

Awesome, I've just gotten into homebrewing in the last few months. What homebrew store do you go to?

As often as I can afford it!

Nah, it's not that bad... :P

I mostly do social drinking one/two times per month during less intensive periods and once a week during intensive periods.

I like to drink beer at home but I'm a student and beer with a decent percentage (I prefer 4-5%) is like other alcohol taxed to oblivion here (Sweden). Coming to think of it, everything is taxed to oblivion here but that's another matter.

I'll drink once, maybe twice a year. I have yet to find anything I can afford on a regular basis as a student that I think is actually worth drinking. I would rather drink my own piss than most of the swill students guzzle to get drunk. And I really can't see the point in drinking till you're drunk anyway.

I'm living in Spain ATM and wine goes for something like 80 cents to 1.25€ per bottle. I stopped keeping count a while back :)

I haven't drunk for 3 (three) months.
One beer at "happy hour" is 2 (two) €/0.5 liter.
The shittest can bier is 2.50 (two point fifteen) €.

Too much for an unemployed.

Vodka/Jäger + beer BTW, to the edge of consciousness.

sometimes i don't drink for a couple weeks. sometimes I drink almost every day of the week. Usually its somewhere in between. nothing like sitting down for a good game of DotA with some friends and sipping on a cold beer. :D

Once or twice a month. Typically a mixed drink with rum or amaretto. I can't stand beer. I'll have a sip of wine every now and then but don't really like it.

I drink all the time. In fact, I'm drunk right now :)

Seriously, though, when I have the money I tend to go through periods of drinking. Like, I'll drink for a week to the point of getting drunk, then I will drink very little, for another week.

Although, lately, I haven't been drinking as much even when I've had the money...

I used to drink pretty much every 2 weeks on the Friday just after payday. Sometimes more. But for the past year, I've only gotten really drunk maybe 5 times. That's due to having a girlfriend that doesn't drink and also not really being able to afford it anymore.

Once every couple of months, usually only if I'm in a social setting. I just never really enjoyed drinking alcohol. I have a ridiculously low tolerance and the benefits of the tipsy/drunk feeling doesn't seem to outweigh the detriments of the nauseous feeling. At least it saves me money. :)
