[classic swim] Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Current heavier drinker. Although I do know when to take a break. Sometimes it can be small(ish) doses each day, or I can just have one good solid day of it and then go cold turkey for most of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neubauten Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) Current moderate drinker. I love my sour beers. Well maybe heavy drinker if they're like counting my 8.5% beers as "two drinks" Edited April 26, 2023 by Neubauten 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 somewhere between current infrequent and current light, I'm not sure I like the magic 12-drink threshold though 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one having 12 drinks in a year has any business drinking with me for an hour Congrats tho....March was 3 years for me.

Jman Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Current moderate, but trying to go down to light. I drink a few times a week but I am very particular about having hard limits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pooh4u Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Current infrequent although I had a couple of drinks the other day. I drink just not often. I probably seesaw between CI and CL mostly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insipid Posted September 6, 2023 Author Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Bump because this may soon become outdated. The US may have a guideline similar to Canada's. https://www.ccsa.ca/sites/default/files/2023-05/CGAH-Drinking-Less-is-Better-en.pdf If you don't feel like opening that, light drinking is 2 drinks or fewer a week, moderate is up to 6 drinks a week regardless of gender, and heavy is anything more. And here's a more detailed report if you're bored: https://www.ccsa.ca/sites/default/files/2023-01/CCSA_Canadas_Guidance_on_Alcohol_and_Health_Final_Report_en.pdf Edited September 6, 2023 by Insipid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnrael Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 well shit, I'm somewhere between light and moderate but that seems like more than i actually drink considering I can go months without drinking or even caring to get drunk luckily this isn't about weed use though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real_AirCooledGirl Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I drink very infrequently. When I do drink, I go for mead or beer. Most blitzed I got was at a New Year's Eve party. I had a bottle of mead and three bottles of Guinness. All of a sudden, I started speaking in a Brooklyn accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although every now and again at concerts things are cool and unified, especially the clouds coming off people's heads in the mosh pits.
