I'm not sure I could quit unless medically required. Being around drunk people is torture when you're sober.

Pretty sure I"ll never quit. I love drinking.

Now, I'll say I've quit drinking myself into a stupor every Fri/Sat/Sun just bc with age it basically ruins your next day and you feel like a worthless bum. But a few drinks with dinner or at the lake or tailgating or whatever...makes it so much better.

Cut back on frequency over the past few months because I've been too busy. Work and school necessitate adjustments

Progression was:

Early hs = weekend
Late hs = random weekdays and every weekend
18-25 = basically every night of the week
25-27 = Thursday, Friday, Saturday
27-29 = Fridays only
30-31 = not every Friday

I've slowed down big time. Rarely get drunk anymore.

My girlfriend doesn't drink much, so as I result I don't get drunk much anymore.

I don't miss the hangovers, wasting money and trying to find a way to get around town drunk.

I do miss some good times in bars.

Slowed way down once I got out of college, and due to the extreme anxiety the day after a hard drunk.

Got older and the hangovers got bad even with just a few drinks. Have too much going on to spend the day after feeling like crap

I have recently backed off a good bit. Only drink a lot during special occasions and events. Football tailgate is a good example.

Will have a beer/whiskey/wine every now and then but nothing too much.

Like to be asleep by 12 on weekends now.

I drink about a dozen beers per week. It starts to creep up to 20ish and I reduce it. Reduction mostly because I have kids, like working out and don't like hangovers.

Small children who get up early will REALLY make you rethink getting tanked.

Didn't start until later in life.

Mostly socially now, although I really like the subtleties of single malts, good beers and wines.

I probably drink three calendar days per week and to excess maybe twice per year.

My favorite drink of all is Bama Tears (no homo).

I don't drink that much these days, but I can't imagine a day where I won't love drinking 10+ beers while tailgating.
