What is your current drinking status?

[Insipid]

These are official terms used by the CDC.

I am a current light drinker. I haven't had a heavy drinking day in years.

[[classic swim]]

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.

 

 

[Icarus27k]

Former infrequent drinker.

I'm surprised it's been over a year.

[Neubauten]

Current moderate drinker. I love my sour beers. 

Well maybe heavy drinker if they're like counting my 8.5% beers as "two drinks"

According to that chart, I’m a lifetime abstainer. Not by choice, though.

I drink exactly 22 fluid ounces of milk on the 5th night of the 7th year of our potato. Got damn I made me hungry again

[Raptorpat]

somewhere between current infrequent and current light, I'm not sure I like the magic 12-drink threshold though

[SwimOdin]

Current moderate drinker. Huzzah my moderate problem!

I don't see former raging alcoholic. At my peak I was up to about a fifth a day. I haven't had a drink in almost three years.

It's part of why I didn't bother....12 drinks in a year...wtf are these parameters for...7 year olds?

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.

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.

[1pooh4u]

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

Current infrequent.  It's not my thing, usually, but it can be fun on occasion. Mead is just fantastic.

Bump because this may soon become outdated. The US may have a guideline similar to Canada's.

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:

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

[Heshi]

Current Infrequent Drinker. Meow

I have a shot of whiskey or spiced rum or Jagermeister every 2 to 3 months. Haven't gotten drunk in 12 years or so.

[Ric]

Former heavy drinker
Only time I had any drinks this year has been on my birthday.

[Gemini]

Current infrequent drinker. Last beer I had was a Guinness.

[Real_AirCooledGirl]

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.

Current infrequent drinker. Alcoholic fumes tend to be bad for other free roaming clouds around me and for the environment in general. Although every now and again at concerts things are cool and unified, especially the clouds coming off people's heads in the mosh pits.
