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.
 
 
 
"border line"..............I'd say that was a very wide line Andy!Wink

21-25 "units" for me. Try not to touch a drop during the week. 7-8 bottles or cans on a friday night with 2-3 jack and cokes. Saturday about the same, and while I used to avoid drinking on sunday's - it has now become just another saturday as far as alcohol consumption is concerned. I always try to give the gargle a break for the month of January (per my parole officer's guidance)

Like Sono says, it depends.  Average week or if things are going on.  Also, if i'm on holiday or not.

If I am on the whiskey at least a half bottle on a night out is no prob.
Pints at least 5 or 6 a sess.

Pints on a Friday or Saturday, occasionally both and a few glasses of wine or cans during the week.  Wine watching a movie, cans watching a match.

See the thing is I am not sure how many units a double vodka would be, if they are a lot then I am f**ked, cos I never know how many I have had.
 
For example, out last thursday with work and had a sh*t load of free gargle and this fella I work with was legless and he was still telling me on Monday how many we had in different pubs, in fairness how the fook does he remember? And I was actually alright Wink and remember fook all Confused
 
Strange one.
 
Memory always goes once I have the 6, I am just on auto pilot after that and memory is goneskis.

Did a 21-25 myself. Fri & Sat are 5-6 easy, and during week 1 or 2 bottles in the house when the football is one etc. Plus, workin in a pub doesnt help that much either!
