I thought this was a little funny. I mean really why does anyone want to know when you got drunk. Shouldn't it be private? I have never drank so haha.

I enjoy a good drink every so often and I drink at parties (on the rare occasions I am invited to one). I drink primarily for the flavor but the buzz is nice bonus. I find that being a little drunk helps me with socialization a lot. However, I have never, nor do I intend to ever get stupid where-the-fuck-was-I-last-night drunk which seems to be what everyone in college thinks the point of alcohol is. I know my limits and I stick to them. Plus, my taste in alcohol is a little to expensive for me to over do it and still have money in the bank.

I drink daily. Getting full blown drunk really only happens in social situations though.

I go out to the pub about three times a week, usually always at the weekend. I usually have about four or five pints while I'm there. I rarely drink outside the pub though. :)

It can show us how common alcoholism in the WP community. Its undoubtedly high percent of people here. As a large percent of aspie have social anxiety and a large number of alcoholics are self-medicating to deal with social anxiety.

Alcoholism?! That's going a bit far! It's not like I'm drinking every day, needing to drink to get myself through the day (like a friend of mine) or being in the pub for hours on end every single day!

Yeah its all relative. I heard someone say a typical alcoholic in the west would be consider a social drinker in Russia. I'm not a doctor and can not decide what the dividing line is for alcoholism and social drinking.

I probably drink about 15-20 pints a week. The recommended weekly amount in the UK is 10½ pints. My friend might drink about 65-75 pints a week.

15-20 pints? Yikes! I'm lucky if I drink 0.5 pints. Drinking makes me feel like ass, though, as it gives me gut rot, or, did.

i like to drink occasionally, but will quit if i think i reached my limit..i've awaken with enough hangovers to know it's not worth getting drunk and then having to deal with a bad headache the next morning..sometimes i'll chug about one or two bottles of water before i go to bed so i know i won't have one when i get up

I'll be 21 in about two weeks but my drinking habits won't change very much. I just won't have to ask others to buy for me. I'll probably get more into wines.

I did in my teens, but not anymore as I hate having a hangover the next day.
