8. Almost every day, though most days that only means 1-3 drinks.
I just can't live without beer, whether it's High Life or Sam Adams or Chimay. And red wine and whiskey are pretty nice too.

9. I generally like more bitter beers and dry wines.
I also like a good whiskey on occasion. Moreover, I love cooking with most of the alcohol family of products. Great flavors you can get nowhere else...

14. Alcohol gives me migraine headaches
so I hardly drink at all. People think you're conservative or a recovering alcoholic if you don't drink... I just prefer to avoid excruciating pain.

21. Not like I used to.
Now I really enjoy the whole aspect of drinking - making cocktails or tasting wines or tequilas etc. I still enjoy the buzz but in the old days it was mostly just to get plastered. I can still drink most anybody under the table, but I sure pay more the next day than I used to and I hate wasting a whole day on recovering, unless it is a special occasion.

23. yes, I love a good glass of wine, or
a good brandy or vodka or whiskey or ... but that being said, I probably have 2 drinks per month. I don't mind the very edge of tipsiness, but I loathe being drunk, have only been so maybe 3 times in my life.

24. No. I retired from my drinking career nearly 21 years ago.
Used to be a bar band musician starting in the mid 1960's, and off and on for over 15 years. Alcohol was (is) an occupational hazard, other substances as well. I quit when it became a real problem, and no longer do nothin'.

FWIW, the hardest thing I ever quit was cigarettes about 18 years ago.

25. Damn skippy
I go for all kinds of spirits, liquors, wines, beers, and a special Andean moonshine you can't find here in the U.S. called "Pisco".
