How often do you drink?

Either Friday or Saturday nights, only at home. Nothing against public drinking, I'm just a cheapass.
I go through 1-2 six packs a month. Usually a craft beer. I usually just have one occasionally after dinner at home.
I go through 1 bottle of scotch or bourbon about every 3-4 months. Usually just drink a finger or three during TV sporting events.

Only when I'm alone or with someone.
Slowing down a bit. Sometimes will grab a shot and a beer on a week night if I'm pick up food. Usually don't drink on weeknights otherwise. Weekends are different. Sometimes I go out 1 night, sometimes both nights. But over the last year I've found myself staying in more, having a few, and calling it a night. I can't stay out till 4am anymore. Just can't do it.
Usually just Friday/Sat. night, I have Buffalo Trace. If I'm at a work function like a trade show or sales meeting, I'm drinking during the week. My wife is a teacher, so she's off for the summer, and wants to drink mid-week, so I drink with her then too. Really, anytime I can drink without my *** getting ridden, I'll take the opportunity. Sometimes, I'll go ahead and do it anyway.
I rarely drink. Having said that, I am drinking at the moment. Just a coincidence.
Every night at home. Approaching middle age, same ole job, same ole day, same ole routine, day after day, year after year. My nightly drinking is probably the only thing I really look forward to every day.
I make Nick cage in leaving las Vegas look like Carrie nation. And that's every day.
I usually drink a beer or two after work, 3 or 4 days a week. I work 3rd shift so it's kinda odd but it helps me sleep when I get home. On my off days, I'll go out for drinks at appetizers with my buddies but rarely get drunk so to speak. The other day, it was just me and I grilled me a steak and caught a good mid day buzz.
In my younger days I was primarily a weekend drinker. Now that I am 70, I only have a beer on occasions.
Love my beer.
These days, usually only on weekends. Exceptions: during college basketball season when games are played on weeknights or while vacationing. Needless to say, my alcohol consumption has slowed considerably since January of this year.

Usually one day on the weekend I'll have few beers. If I'm grilling or smoking I'm drinking beer. It just seems to go hand in hand. Don't usually get ripped, but I will say I got out of hand the night of the Mayweather fight. Beer was going down easy and kept getting handed shots of bourbon. I hadn't been that drunk in probably 10 years. Maybe 10 more before it happens again.
Haven't had a drop of alcohol since January 22, 2006.
Before that, starting back in the late 70s, I drank way too much and way too often.
Edit - Things change over a 4 year period. Went 12 years drinking none. Beginning in Spring of 2018 I started drinking red wine. I have a glass with dinner every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, followed by a second glass over the course of the evening.

@Willy: Ha ha, yeah, lots to do with that beer app. It drives you to try new beers. Not that I'm complaining, but I just need to slow down.
As you know, I was on vacation from April 16-29. Had some killer beer drinking days (April 17 and April 27). Came down with pneumonia on April 29 while visiting my cousin, who lives near Lebanon outside Nashville. Drove to ATL and had a rough time that day waiting to fly from the airport back to AUS.
Yesterday was my first time drinking any alcoholic beverages since April 28. Plan to hold off on any more beer until next Friday.

I HATE smoking and very seldom drink, although I do like some bourbon from time to time, but isn't it weird that in our society that smoking has become the evil vice while alcohol destroys homes and familes and can sometimes kill other innocent people , but is perfectly acceptable and encouraged ...
Drink usually on Friday and Saturday night. Probably 2 or 3 drinks each night. Used to live above Two Keys back in my UK days and could drink like a fish. Now I'm the biggest lightweight ****** ever, get buzzed halfway through my first drink. (These smilies suck complete *** BTW)
(These smilies suck complete *** BTW)I hate liquor but love a good beer...craft beer. One of the things I look forward to the most is finding a foreign craft beer and pairing it with a pizza.
I do that maybe once or twice a month. We also have some good couple friends (one is originally from Germany) who come over to the house for drinks and food and we make getting a good foreign beer a game so to speak. But we don't discriminate..enjoy most beers except Miller or Budweiser.

I'm not trying to bust your balls or be an ***, but I just don't buy this. How can any beer lover not enjoy a basic beer like Miller/Bud? They have their time and place just like any other beer. Can't imagine grilling, tailgating, any sort of day drinking, etc. without knocking back simple gas station beer. And this is coming from a beer dork...
Yeah, I've become somewhat of a craft beer snob myself. But after a day of being outside, either hiking, yard work, or some festival.. nothing goes down better than an ice cold Coors or bud. One of my new summertime "drink 20 of 'em like they are nothing" beers is Narragansett.
I don't care how good IPA's and Stouts are, if you're bombing those in the summer, you're not gonna last. Gotta switch to something light.

I mean, I'll drink em but I'll never go out of my way to buy it if there are other options. Basically, I view those two beers like a frozen pizza. It's pizza but it doesn't taste the greatest.
I don't remember if I started drinking because my wife left me or my wife left me because I started drinking.
