As the title suggest. What's you weekly consumption of alcohol? If you drink spirits try to guess the equivalent in beer.

My intake of booze has gone throught the roof since coming to Korea.

USA 16 fluid ounces = 1 pint = 4 gills = 568.26ml

I'm sure it's 568ml. I should've asked how many litres. Anyway, for arguments sake let's call it 500ml, since that's the size of a typical draught beer.

even those who are drinking less than 10 could be heavy drinkers. 9 is a lot to drink in one week. and honestly if you are in the 10-20 pints a week you are probably a borderline acoholic.

I drink 0-10 per week. Some weeks maybe a can or two of beer, and others I may drink more.

Why not? Please say it's not a newfound religious conviction. Sad



Me? I drink according to the season. Beer & coc... malegenitalorgan-tails in spring & summer, wine & spirits in autumn and winter. And also according to the social calendar. Christmas and New Year's are always a pretty high-octane time of year. And with only 42 shopping days left, it's important to start gradually ramping up now so that you're up to speed when the holidays commence.

Currently: about 2~3 bottles of wine per week. A glass before, during, and two after dinner. Beer? Is that considered alcohol?

I pretty much get drunk each night, unless I run out of cash and can't afford it.

i might have a beer in the evening during the week. weekends, i have more, over a night i'll probably drink around 8-10 beers... i'm a bit of a beer snob, so i don't drink as often now as i did at home. now when i drink, it's about getting drunk, not enjoying the subtleties of my bevvie.

Maybe, maybe not. I think a lot of guys can handle 5-6 pints 4-5 times a week, maybe 10-12 once a week, not often really getting drunk, just hanging out being social, or having a few at home. I think "alcoholic" is when you get really smashed really often, and drink even when you don't enjoy it because you feel physical/psychological craving for alcohol. If you get smashed by yourself 4-5 times, you might have a problem indeed.

if you drink everyday then you have a problem, whether it is one drink or five.
