Many nights, like tonight, i like to pick up a 6 pack of 16 oz (8 beers worth) cans to drink when i know i have to go to work in the morning. sometimes i drink more, sometimes i'll only have 3-4. But every man has a different limit when it goes from "i'm just having a few" to "i'm gonna get a little wrecked tonight". What's your amount?

If i stay at 8 or under, i'm good because i know i won't really feel it in the morning. Once i drink 9 i know i'm working toward feeling a little shitty in the morning so i say "hell i might as well make it worth it". I either stop dead after 8 or it turns into atleast 12-18 depending on how much time i have.

I don't drink much at all anymore so it depends on my mood and what I am doing. If I am being lazy and sitting around it will hit me quickly, if I am active or hanging out I can hang in there.

"If i stay at 8 or under, i'm good because i know i won't really feel it in the morning. "

That totally depends on what the 8 is. 8 Beast lite, my guess is you're feeling like crap. 8 Beck's or some other import, you'll be fine.

Miller lite most nights, including tonight.

Zwick i also stick to the 6 pack 16 oz's on most work nights to keep myself in check, but sometimes i have leftovers from other occassions

I dont know the limit for feeling shitty in the morning. But usually after about 5 Ive hit the point of I wanna get pretty drunk tonight.

Of course, unless Im watching sports I dont really drink socially. When I drink, Its usually to get wasted...which is usually 4 times a week. I try to take it easier the other nights.

Miller Lite you'll be fine, not the greatest of beers, but not the bottom of the barrel. I'm not the biggest fan of it but it is still a quality light beer.

Is it because you are watching Purdue?!

Sorry, I'm hanging out with some folks that are Boilermaker grads, and they are ripping on Hoosiers (seriously, I like Tom Crean).

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but for some reason if it's in a can, I feel more inclined to drink more. Like maybe 4-5. In the summer I was buying six packs every week, and it be gone in two days. I know most of you drink beer like water, but when I go out I can only have one or two. I'm a liquor man myself, so I usually stick to some sort of whiskey, or tequila shots if I wanna get hammered.

Usually clean out a 12 pack of Bud Light Lime on my days off... If I am "trying" to get drunk, I'll grab 2 12 packs.

12 pack 2-3 times a week. Sometimes more.

Bud Light normally
Love the Labatt Blue.
Dous Equis Lager is my favorite.

8 beers in a single night is considered binge drinking by most standards - for what that's worth.

Not drinking these days, but when I do, its always Labatt Blue, and I'm about as light weight as they come... More than one and I'm a very happy girl. Hey, at least I'm cheap though right?

I drink a lot of Newcastle and I have a large stockpile of Yuengling Lager and Yuengling Light Lager as well.

I usually drink 2-3 per night.

Sweet... So now when my g/f calls me an alcoholic, I can say "No, I'm just a binge drinker." :)
