The only people I know that keep track of time between drinks are alcoholics.

Maybe a week or two. Don’t really measure or think about it much.

I’m not against drinking, just one of those things I never got into. Probably been 2+ years since I had a beer and about a year since I had a little whisky.

I guess I did grow up wanting to mostly stay away from it. My dad was a boarder line alcoholic, drank beer pretty much everyday after work. Just seemed too much to me.

Since I started drinking at age 22, probably 6-8 months a couple times.

Nowadays it’s a drink here or there and then dry for weeks at a time.

There’s just too much other stuff to do that feeling like shite makes way worse

If you legitimately need to count the days since your last drink you’ve got a problem.

Months. I have beer in my garage fridge but it’s usually for guests. I’ll drink a few times during the summer or events but i rarely drink.


Same boat, I typically drink a beer or two for Superbowl, or maybe once a year if we go somewhere nice with a nice drink selection. Occasionally a sip of wine to judge the dryness when I'm cooking and am trying a new recipe that calls for it.

Maybe 3-4 times a year.

Honestly, I've never drank enough for this question to be relevant. I routinely go months at a time without a sip of alcohol. I really only drink if I intend to get drunk.

I did Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday of last year. Will likely do the same this year in addition to severely cutting back on drinking both alcoholic drinks as well as regular/diet sodas.

My last drink was Jan 31 and I won't have another until my birthday this month! After that, I plan on having a dry rest of my life.

If you have to ask yourself this question, you should probably go to a meeting.

58 years.

Never touched it. Don't like the smell of it. Never desired anything that would compromise my mind or my faculties for even the shortest of whiles.

3-4 weeks.

When I was in my 30s, I tried to see how long I could go without a beer. It was about three or four weeks.

I could easily go the rest of my life without wine or booze.

But I’ve never been able to go longer than three weeks without a beer.
