Depends. On a full days drinking on a saturday with a night out you are probably talking the equalivlant of 20 pints (if you subsitute pints with Vodka you move onto). So if there is a Friday or Sunday session involved too you could be talking 30 easy and if both you are looking at 40+. Then you might also have a midweek cans session. I would say I am border line alco when I do go on the drink cause I can't stop. Actually went on a session 2 weekends ago when I didn't even call into work until Wednesday and had to take the whole week off sick. Say I drank about 100 pints in that session.
Would say on average about 25.
But then I can have weekends like the one just gone when I don't drink at all, that was the first in a long time though.

usually end up drinking lots on away games. Not drinking as much nowadays as i really can't cope with the hangovers anymore. Once you hit 30, hangovers are a nightmare i think.
Never drink during week - can't face hangover in work. Dead

It's tough to put a number on it allright. Any awaytrip is at least 20+ per day of pints. Add your shots and spirits onto that and you basically reach the number average people drink in 1 month....Reckon Dr. Phil would have a fieldday in Ireland on any particular session LOL

Well have been times when I feel I have hit rock bottom and I totally fail the AA questionarie to determine if you are an alco, think I only answer 2c correctly out of 20 but if you answer more than 3 you have a drink problem but I think most people fail that. Do have family concerned and partners and friends have said it before, but it's also so much fun too.
I can also take a couple of weekends off like the weekend just gone I didn't drink, well I had about 7 watching the match on Sunday but that was just an afternoon session and was home in all for X factor final.
Dying for a gargle now though after being off it for a week. Was just e-mailing a friend saying I might get bottles and watch the Spurs v City match tonight.

Self-diagnosed alcohol dependent.
If I stay in or abstain from drink for one night in a week I'd consider myself to be doing well.
It's fookin' ridiculous at this stage.
As above,I'm beyond addiction and onto pure dependence.
Whats more,is that it's seen as some sort of skill or achievement to be able to drink silly amounts of gargle.
Major culture change is needed.
As long as there is anything to be gained by saying nothing, it is always better to say nothing than anything

a pint is two units lads,
 
one night out a week at the ten pints plus mark, another one with maybe 5 pints.
 
an away trip could be as much as 20 pints a day but who is counting?

its very much a cultural thing in ireland though. went out with family at the weekend and we all had a great day on the booze, work christmas do on friday was a heap of booze. last wednesday met another friend and had 7 pints. also, there is a serious lads drinking culture in the office. i drink two nights on a normal week (always one midweek and friday) but december is exceptional. have had six work related functions since 1st december
