Alcohol: How often do you drink?

[renewlyf]

Now - Never!

There was a time (not that long ago) I drank morning, noon and night. I had a real problem with alcohol and other things! :food-s;il
It almost killed me. Heart attack at age 40. Moderation wasn't a word in my vocabulary. If you can drink in moderation. More power to you. I can't but I'm much happier with out it.

 

[Power Juicer]

I drink a small glass of red wine every night.

 

[dragonfire101]

The most is only 1-2 drinks about once a month on special occasions, retirement parties, weddings etc.

All your choice pretty much relate to while on/off. Why is that? Why can't it be just how often do you drink. Do you only want response from people who use gear?

I'll have a glass or two of wine every other night or so with dinner. I look the same as I do when I go weeks without it. Everything in moderation.

There's nothing more relaxing than a nice glass of wine or a cold beer with dinner.

same here i have a few drinks daily(on or off i do not do orals though). i enjoy drinking, i don't compete so i don't see why not.

Ya bro. Bodybuilding is a lifestyle for me and I enjoy it but I also have to enjoy life. While I might not look anything near the pros or top amatures on this board, I have competed and maintain a look that 90 something percent of the population doesn't have.
My job is tough, I like to live life and unwind a little bit. Its nice to have some laughs with the boys over a couple beers or a nice dinner and drinks with my girl.

[animal eater]

Zilch- just doesn't do it for me anymore

 

[killbill]

A few times a year.

I drink less often than before, but I always get better, way more expensive beer these days, so it balances out, at least moneywise.

 

[Steve123]

I mean, if you're the kind of guy that can have a few and leave it at that, no biggie. A few drinks here and there isn't going to sink the ship. If, on the other hand, you're like me and can't stop at 1 or even 3, don't do it at all.

 

[Pheedno]

I'm usually prepping 6 months out of the year so never during that time.
Other than that, sometimes it's a glass of wine with dinner. Sometimes it's a bottle or two with my significant other. Sometimes it's a few martini's.
All in all, about 6-8 times a year I go beyond 1 glass of wine

 

[Ashop]

Pretty self explanatory...

Very rarely. Maybe when we celebrate big,,,but other than that maybe once or twice per year. Alcohol has never done nothing special for me. I dont enjoy the 'buzz' and I hate the way I feel the following day.

I was poundin em yesterday, call me a woman but i must have drank atleast twenty five Mich ultras, between 3 parties, 400 grams of protein, couple waters and a gatorade. Good time... i wasnt seeing too straight at 3am while walking home but atleast i got my calories to recover from fridays deadlifts

 

[J_Diggs]

I'll have a couple drinks on Friday and Saturday nights. Nothing crazy. Sometimes a mixed drink, sometimes beer and depending on the food some good wine.

The only time I DRINK is around Xmas and when my brothers and I get together which only happens about once a year.

 

[TheCure]

for health benefits

never.
but recently 1 glass red wine per day for cholesterol reducing benefits. I discovered my ratio is over 8.
not good.

 

[hawkmoon]

40 years old and never had a drink. Never will either

That's definitely a healthy option. Any particular reason why though?

Good god. You sound like you may be as stupid as I was 10 years ago.

Made the choice decades ago and has been easy to stick by.

One of my good friends is the same way. Never had a drink and he is 35.
He says its easy since he has never tried it.
