This is my first poll (I hope it works). So I’m rolling with Blogtown’s thirst for knowledge about our li’l blog community’s drinking habits. I agree with Tony, those numbers seem low to me. Let’s weigh in.
UPDATE: Because of a stupid overlapping option on Poll #2, please treat the current 3-5 option as 3-4 drinks. Thank you, that is all.
quibble #1: the how many question – I drink differently (i.e. less) if I’m just at home, than if I’m “going out.”
Also, “5” overlaps two answers.
Hmm, not much I can do about quibble 1. Should be able to fix the overlapper without making too much of a poll mess.
Remember, some of us have real jobs that require presence of mind. Not that I wouldn’t love to trade with you.
Where’s Kiala when you need a *real* “expurt” in public, daily inebriation?
I’ll say 6 times a week, because there’s usually a day where I’m not drinking for whatever reason. But it’s pretty much a nightly activity.
Splitting the number of drinks between 2 and 3 is tough for me because the answer is usually 2-3, depending on whether I feel like a third. I probably have the third drink half the time, but I’ll only have one on lots of weeknights, so I’ll go with 1-2.
Man, I’ve gotten boring in my old age. 10 years ago my friends and I would each get a six-pack for ourselves. Now my puking threshhold is reliably the 5th drink. Sad. Oh well, I definitely prefer intoxicants that never lead to puking.
Alright, now bring on the polls for masturbation and pooping!
^Yes! There is a strong correlation between pooping and drinking!
Thank You, Courtney!
I said five to seven. I drink pretty reliably every day – but sometimes it’s just a little bit, and other times it’s full on binge drinking. So I chose the middle.
my weekday vs weekend drinking changes pretty drastically. (surprise) so its kinda hard to answer this right.
If I’m home, at most I might drink a beer in the evening. But if I am out (about 3-5 times a week), WHOO BOY
A bottle of wine only counts as one drink, right ?
@Rosy: Yes, and it also only counts as one if you drink your first drink so fast that no one notices you have gotten a second drink.
Usually I’ll only have a couple of glasses a wine a night, unless my husband pours the glass, in which case I need, like 4 or 5 glasses. Hello, the glass doesn’t stop in the middle!
It should be noted that “one drink” of wine is 5 ounces. That’s about 2/5 of a bottle of beer, 1/3 of a pint, or 1/2 of a normal drinking glass. For all you generous pourers out there! It’s not just what you can fit in a glass/jug/bathtub. THIS IS A MATTER OF SCIENCE, PEOPLE
@therterminizer. YOU’RE a matter of science. No callbacks.
@theterminizer Are you sure you’re thinking of “one drink” and not, say, “one tiny little baby sip for little wine babies to sip while they do baby things”?
My answer is I never drink. But when I do drink, it’s 11-20 drinks, mainly because that was your highest offering. Which brings me back to answer #1.
I wish you would have done this poll a year ago when I was slamming 8-12 beers plus 3-5 whiskeys every day. As it is now, I just feel bad for bringing the averages down.
Just one more.
I’m drinking right now
Bunch a drunkards.
Look like theterminizer has drank that Mothers Against Drunk Drivers Kool aide.
“Mothers Against Drunk Drivers”, doesn’t that sound like a great title for a porno ?
