    as for me,
    Beer: 3-4 per week, mostly on the weekends while grilling or watching a game
    Wine: about 2 bottles/week with meals
    Liquor: rarely, only if going to a Mexican restaurant and I have a few margs

    Beer: Too sporadic to quantify. I'll say maybe 3 or 4 a week, on average.
    Wine: Not a wine drinker anymore, unfortunately. Once a month maybe.
    Liquor: Probably have 4 to 6 oz of Gin a week, whether in a martini or with tonic. Occasional margaritas.

    I have a hard time believing than considering you didn't even spell tea right. ;)

    LOL. Tee is German for tea. Easy to get confused. ;)

    no more than one or two drinks per month in general.

    i don't prefer one over the other, if I'm at a bar it's either a beer or a rum & coke.

    i might have a glass of red wine at a dinner party but rarely at home.

    I have had zero alcohol this week.

    on my 8 day vacation in late July going out every night, i had one beer at one restaurant, 4 rum based drinks at other restaurants, and a glass of red wine with dinner at home.

    You're a German and don't drink beer? Now I'm really confused

    My lady and I have go through red wine fast. Bottle a night between us nearly every night. We also grab a margarita or two when we go out to eat once or twice a week. No wine on the margarita nights for her but I might drink a glass of wine when we get home if it is still early and I don't have to work the next day.

    Never drank in high school or college. Only started drinking at work because there were lots of industry and customer events and got tired of having pointless convos about not drinking. Outside of that only drank if I was at a sit down restaurant or waiting for takeout. Never liked beer, started with mixed drinks with coke, sprite or ginger ale in them, then almost exclusively did coconut rum. There was a PF Chiangs near Westroads Mall, work and home; I think I tried every one of those goofy martinis. There was also a Flemings right next to work, I would maybe get a snifter of Woodford with the entree and have a nice buzz on Friday night. I'm two jobs removed from that one, and haven't drank since.

    3 pints of Harp or Bass while playing trivia. Maybe 2 more pints during the week, scattered about.

    1 bottle of wine a week. Sometimes 2, sometimes none. Enjoy dry whites and dry reds.

    Have a single malt Scotch after trivia once or twice a month, and maybe 1 at home on a different evening. Sometimes a margarita eating out at a Mexican place. Sometimes have a pint of Negra Modelo instead, if the place has it on tap (which helps explain the extra pints. I prefer draft cerveza and usually have wine at home, instead of beer or ale).

    If a friend or two come to town on a visit, toss all that out the window. In other words, I don't drink much unless we have company.

    Really fluctuates for me. I can go weeks without drinking any alcohol, but on average, I would say it's similar to what you listed above - probably more beer than that, though. I never drink alone, I'm purely a social drinker.

    Zero alcohol. Haven't had any since 2008...but never really got into it.

    I guess I get it from my mother, she doesn't like alcohol either

    How I drink isn't cut and dried, which I should have made clear. I play trivia every week at an Irish pub (the owner literally bought a pub in Dublin, had it dismantled, and installed in a bar on 6th Street here in Austin), so that's usual, but the rest of my drinking isn't set in stone. Some weeks, the trivia game is the only time I have a few. I rarely drink alone unless I'm eating alone and having some Tex-Mex, and they have some good Mexican draft. Then I'll have a pint. Otherwise, I'm happy with that Texas staple, iced tea (no sugar, lots of lemon or lime).
