Today drinking is all downside and a social liability.


If by "drinking" you mean getting clearly drunk in public settings then sure. If by "drinking" you mean enjoying a couple of quality beers, wines, or liquors on a fairly regular basis then no. It's never been more in vogue.

But yeah getting hammered on Boone's farm, Jim Beam, and Budweiser on the reg is no longer cool. But should it ever have been?

1 or 2 beers here and there but that’s it really unless it’s a special occasion

I don’t drink everyday. When I do, it’s beer and I’ll have 2-3. Nothing like I did when I was younger. Gave up whiskey 3 years ago. Beer only now.

I drink maybe 2 shots worth of bourbon over ice about 3-4 nights a week, and more like 3-4 shots worth on the weekends. I found that I drink a lot less just sipping on something on the rocks while the ice melts than I did when I drank a lot of beer or mixed drinks

Was a binge drinker. Drank to get drunk. Weekends almost always. Never when had to go to work or class. Quit early thirties when I just outgrew it.

I don’t drink every night,but when I do, it’s good beer. I don’t have to drink to get drunk. I just like good beer when I’m in the mood for one or two or more. Hard alcohol, I go with scotch usually, and usually Laphroaig Triple Wood Single Malt, because I like a good old bonfire. For wine, it’s always red, and usually a Grenache or Shiraz. Again, it’s not about getting hammered. I’m past that. When I drink I just want to really enjoy it.

I was a pretty heavy drinker in my 20s and early 30s. Having a daughter that was getting old enough to realize her dad was a drunk sobered me up.

I didn't drink for a few years. I drink some now. Mostly a few beers or glasses of red wine. Fallguy and liquor never mixed well

I'm a summertime beer drinker (2-3 from the freezer on hot days after work) with an occasional pitcher of Gin & Tonic thrown in for social functions and lazy summer evenings, and a wintertime shot drinker (Schnapps, Fireball, Brandy), and not much the rest of the time.

The days of getting wasted are long since in the rear view mirror.

Last week I averaged probably about half a fifth of whiskey every night, sometimes a little more....drinking a few beers each night as well. Saturday I drank way more. Between Sunday and today, half a fifth and 3 beers total. Most of that being yesterday. The rest of this week, probably nothing.
