    How much beer do you drink weekly? Let's settle upon a unit of bottles or cans.

    I don't get this beer thing in America. Is your life really that much better because you drink beer?

    What other advertising gimmicks have you succumbed to?

    no beer for me, either

    I almost succumbed to the line from "Spin City" when the mayor is asked "What is in a Mai Tai" to which his response is "uhh... what are you, a woman? Have a beer"

    it still tastes like ass to me, however

    What he said.

    Cans of soda a week: 5-7.

    Cans of Liquid Crack: Let's just say I'm posting this message from the afterlife.

    This is really surprising. Three late-night responses and none of you beer-drinkers. I guess those guys are on the floor or something, huh?

    I drink about 6 bottles a month-- or less. I start a lot of beers and let my wife finish them. The first few sips are okay but it goes downhill pretty fast. I only want a beer with a few foods and I seriously doubt that I have ever had a second beer.

    I really don't get this boistrous worship of beer that permeates our culture.

    I have around 12 beers a year, I have my kids all the time and I don't drink around them. I just don't feel comfortable doing that around them. The only time I drink is when me and my fiancee go out and shoot pool, and that is not very often.

    Not much beer for me either.

    I can kill a half gallon of Captain Morgans Spice rum in a day if I put my mind to it though.

    It fluctuates. I'll go through one week where I'll have seven, ten beers. Then three weeks of maybe one a week. Averages out to probably two a week.

    During football season i drink much a decent amount of it. Id say around 24-36 a week. If my school has a home game then maybe more.

    It tastes great. I also find that beer is much easier to drink socially and control how hammered you are than mixed drinks.

    What? Didn't you know that drinking beer leads to threesomes with hot-looking twins.

    I want to amend what I said. Maybe someone can figure this out for me. It's not really the taste that I dislike so much as it is that beer makes me feel really bloated.

    I could drink soft drinks or tea without that feeling, but I rarely if ever make it to the second beer. What causes that? I know of no food allergies that I have...

    15 a week. Guinness is my favorite. I am in the process of quitting however. I have been drinking for almost 20 years, since I was fifteen. It's getting old (like me), but I had many a great time drinking beer under a Texas sky...

    On average, I probably drink about 8-12 beers a week. Usually in football season it is a bit more than the rest of the year.

    As for feeling bloated, that happened to me when I first started drinking beer but I rarely get that feeling now. There is nothing better than an ice cold Miller Lite after work.

    I drink 2 liters of free beer every Saturday at Saint Arnold Brewing Company :D

    Between friday night parties, monday night football, and saturday college tailgating, I'd say I drink too much :\

    I have never liked beer too much, hard liquor has always interested me more.

    However, being at college, 8-10 beers every friday night and saturday night is inevitable.

    Also 5-6 beers on thursday nights since its Poker night. However, most of the time I try to fake drinking and acting tipsy, even though I am clear as a bell. It gives me an edge in the games.

    I guess 2-4 beers weekly. I am a social drinker and lately I have not been that social (I usually drink Jack on the rocks instead of beer anyway). I do like to have a couple brews when I watch Rockets games, however.

    Cans of beer I just downed a couple hours ago for my first official 'drunken post' at the Pike frat party: 4

    (Yeah, it doesn't take me much)

    That's also not counting the few shots I had earlier...

    When I was living in Aptos, I would usually have a beer with dinner. The crisp cold beer contrasting with the hot nachos or pizza or whatever while watching a game or a show I liked was a great way to spend some time after work. Now, I harly drink anything at all. I haven't had a beer in months. It isn't hard to give up, like crack, caffiene, or nicotene. I struggled a lot more with giving up sodas than I did with beer.
