How much beer do you drink?
During the summer months I drink a bottle in the evenings. Not every day though.

Weekends I have 1 for lunch and 1 for dinner. Not every weekend though.

During the cold months I don't drink beer.

6. I'm changing my habits.
I have a bumper sticker that says: "I BREW THE BEER I DRINK"...so I'm going to live up to that statement. I am no longer going to buy beer for consumption at home.

I have a batch that will be done in a week, and it should last me a couple of months.

So, I haven't had an alcoholic drink of any sort in a week.

11. What's in the fermenter?
I got an English Brown to bottle this weekend. When I come back from vacation I'll cook up some IPA, I only have 3 pints left.

14. Depends on the situation
If I'm away from the kids, and I don't have to drive, I tend to drink more. When I'm at home and my little guy is awake, I might have a beer now and then; but I prefer to abstain until after he's asleep.

When the holidays come around, I'll have a little more than I usually do.

But I only drink good beer. No beer is better than bad beer!

19. You speaketh the trutheth
In college I would drink anything that said "beer" on the box. When I moved to Portland, and I had so many micros to choose from, I became a rather dignified beer snob.

20. When I was in college, I drank cruddy beer because it was cheap.
I hated the stuff, but it was only $2.20 for a pitcher!

But for about the same cost now, you can drink something that actually tastes good. And if you're drinking for the special effects, you can find good brew with a much higher APV than domestic dishwater; so one bottle of quality ale can have more of an inebriating effect than one pitcher of Miller.

35. If you're drinking for special effects, why not just drink vodka instead?
'Round these parts (Ontario), the good stuff is only marginally more expensive than the swill. Why drink Coors Light when for a dollar a six pack more I can get a nice local microbrew?

Beer just doesn't taste good to me.

23. Probably about 4 or 5 a day, usually.
One or two at lunch, a few during the evenings, but it varies a lot. Usually locally brewed real ale.

24. Most days: two.
One with my dinner, one afterward. Some days: none at all.

I just finished brewing a batch of light American ale for my parents' 50th anniversary party. It was pretty well received, even when served to a bunch of MGD drinkers (bless their hearts).

25. That's about perfect.
One beer at a time, never more than 2 a day. :9

Now back in college I had a drinking problem. But now I have a good job and can afford it.

33. Only my share.
And home brew is better than CorpoBeer. Lasts longer, too.
Why does American beer have twist-off caps and Canadian beer doesn't, eh?
Cuz you have to drink American beer faster.

34. You Kidding me?
I layed down three times coming back from the beer store today. I'm glad the cops didn't come by. Stay drunk for a couple of weeks, we will see who's looking at the world right.
