how much do you drink?
Submitted by JIM1 on Mon, 2011-07-04 20:24
i find myself nursing stubbies after work for well over an hour, and honestly want to get away from drinking during the week. usually ill have 2 a night and maybe a couple more on the weekend nights and get twisted drunk one every couple of months on a night out on the town. when fishing it depends, if i fish lazy soaking a few big baits i tend to drink more as there is less action going on and a 6pack goes down well, but if im on the ball i hardly touch one.
what about you mob?

Not a drop...Had pancreatitis
Not a drop...
Had pancreatitis last year, damaged my pancreas and now i cant drink at all. Half a bottle of beer put me in hospital, slightly annoying but after going through that i dont think im game to try my luck again. Spent about 12 hours straight throwing up and hyper ventilating. I would love to be able to just have one beer every now and then, especially at celebrations. Bundy ginger beer or pepsi max is now my drink of choice.. haha!

Other than one Bundy &
Other than one Bundy & Cola every Tuesday night i seem to drink about once every 2-3 weeks(like more than 3 drinks in one innings). Only ever do it in a social setting with my mates it seems. Never on my own or at dinner, even if going out to a restaurant with the other half.
Work tells us that if we have more than 3 standard drinks in one session, we are classed as binge drinkers. Guess most Western Cultures can be classed as Binge Drinkers then, especially Aussies.

couple of jimmy and cokes
couple of jimmy and cokes with lots of ice every night after work without fail, more on weekends.
if on the boat and doing a overnighter(once anchored up) at least a 700ml bottle
fishing during the day, 6 pac of cans spread out over the whole day with saving one for the drive home.
i have a couple of fishing buddies that crack some cans as we leave the marina at 5-6am, it must be there routine for seasickness i think, thats abit early for me.
my wife thinks i am a still,
after a night out prawning in the river and having a few(8-10 classes with ice) we got pulled over by the coppas on the way home and i was put on the blower........i blew zero....i ask the coppa if it was working properly as it should of read something?

I'll have about half a pint most days at work and then a couple when I get home if I'm not fishing. I'll always try to have a day or 2 a week with none but some days I have mroe than a couple
I don't drink at all while fishing as I'm always working lures and an eski takes up too much space on the yak.

Enjoy a beer or 2 after a good days work but if I haven't done much for the day I will rarely have a drink. Love a bourbon or whisky on a weekend though and when socializing usually a few too many. lol.... or when prawning with Ron.

Good god I might down the first one or two quickly but doubt I ever managed 1 or 2 a second. Maybe one when doing shots :)
For me it is maybe one or two a night, some nights none, just depends on the day. Some weekends none, parties are usually the best part of a bottle, which I usually feel like I have been assualted with the next day. HA HA
Wild Turkey and coke or on the rocks or neat if it's the high end stuff or Honey Liquer.

In Karratha
If your liver function test come back normal there is something wrong with you.
A couple when working the next day, and a few more on the weekends. I am one of the lucky (or unlucky ones) that dont get a hangover at all. So blasting at a party doesnt affect me either.
We are not early fishos, prefering the gentlemans hrs and fishing into the night. It is a ritual on our boat to crack a can when we leave the jetty. Whether it is drunk or not is another point, but the cracking of the can (opening the bosses Sweet cider) and "cheers" for the day is a ritual start to a good days fishing. If after 12noon it normally goes down.
Some superstition to this, and Im not, but its a good superstition to not break!!!

Drink very little these days. Lucky to be a couple beers a month. Hitting the gym pretty hard lately so no beer for me.
However on holidays usually a few everyday. IE: Exmouth this year was probably 6 beers a night.

drinking
During the week only have a few whiskies when I feel like it.
Fishing during the day rarely as I'm always driving at end of day, but enjoy one on the way in from out wide.
Over - night fishing usually only have 5 or 6 whiskies (cans), and usually always have the black sambuca at the ready! Nothing like a swig to warm the guts up!
I just love Exmouth: Its a quaint little drinking town with a fishing problem!

Went to Alcoholics Anonymous once and knew everyone there---joking.
Used to drink quite a bit, now nearly bugger all. Love good scotch on ice, fill the glass up with crushed ice and when the scotch covers the ice its enough. Have been to a restuarant with a mate or two ,opened a bottle os scotch and thrown the cork away so that it has to be finished there and not taken home .

the shit I like costs way too much. But seriously I would drink more coffee (2 or 3 a day) than bourbon, some days none others one or two, sometimes a pint after work with the boys is a great way to see out the day.

Hmmm I have a drinking problem! I have two hands and only one mouth! Ha Ha! Really, I drink little during the week as my job requires zero alcohol, but weekends I can put a few away depending on what I have planned. (Damo6230 used to get me on the Sambuka, bad ass bast*#d he is!) I never take alcohol on the boat for a fishing session unless of course I am away up north fishing, then it's standard practise.

I'm trying (not real hard though) to stop the weeknight couple of beers after work. I don't mind the odd pre mixed Bulleits either - starting to get a real taste for them unfortunately. I used to drink the Turkey premixed when they were a bit stronger. Realistically, these days, I probably average about half a carton of beers and a four pack of premix Bulleits a week with the odd bender thrown in once in a while.
I fish for the future - Cause I can't bloody catch anything!

Just for some information
A health alcohol intake for males is between 0.5 - 4 standard drinks per day, and 0.5 - 2 standard drinks everyday, which for health is better than a teetotaller. Surpise Surprise!!! But correct. Only should not drink if you are an Alcoholic. For the rest a little is better than none, and to much is not good.
See the graph:
Now for cardiovascular, ie Heart and stroke, the curve go out even more, up to about 6-7 std drinks for a male, and 4-5 for a female, but then you might start to get into all sorts of other grief.

not during the week
might have a beer or 2 on the weekend but not always. I do enjoy a glass of port when tying flies on a cold winter night.
I give it a lash every now and then for a wedding or something like that - but those days are few and far between.
Takes too long to recover, dont wanna waste 2 days feeling like shite.

Being an electrician, the
Being an electrician, the first 3 years of the apprenticeship is learning how to put 'em away! Seriously though, Im currently 7/31th's through Dry July which raises money for a nominated benificiary by sponsoring people not to Booze for the month of July. Its not all doom and gloom though, you can get a 'Golden Pass' from someone which allows you to drink on that nominated day, which is designed for birthdays, weddings, fishing comps etc. So far Ive raised $3250 for SCGH which is where my father in law gets his Cancer treatment periodically.
Not wanting to be negative Nancy or a Sooky La La, but those comercials saying that there is nothing more important than your health hits home, especially when you have kids. (Even if they are all girls!).
Thankfully, the first 3 days of the Fenaclng fishing comp are covered!

There was something on the tv recently about WAers drinking a lot more piss than either the eastern states, or even against world averages. I guess that means that if you think you're drinking too much, you probably are!

Each to their own
I have a few AFD's (alcohol free days) during the week, but would probably have 12 stubbies over a week. However if i have something on a weekend turns into a carton pretty quickly. Some might think that is too much but i regularly decide to have a cleansing for 3-4 weeks and will not touch a drop. Is good to know you are still in control.

i drink too much too often. if i haven't put away a carton of Hahn super dry and a bottle of scotch i was offshore over the weekend. i drink it all too red wine, beers, spirits it all depends on my mood. I'm not a session drinker i will enjoy a beer after work or two, i'll drink slowly all day from 12pm on weekends and kick it on at night if required but the hangovers hurt when your two year old wakes you at 6.30am with a torch in your face wanting breakfast and playschool.

My name is Mick and I love
My name is Mick and I love BEER. Couple of cartons a week, plus a couple of nights at the footy club, a night at fireys and maybe a night at the pub on weekends. Not unusual to start at 12 on weekends and go all night. Fishing wise - try to wait until the first fish but in reality its as soon as we get out of the rivermouth. Oh and I dont get hangovers - Woop woop- need another beer

Ahh remember a long since
Ahh remember a long since departed board member had a "one in the esky" rule before boozing onboard.
Classic thing was him getting one in the esky at 6am, middle of winter, then hopping straight into the home-made bourbon and dry.
