Drinking and smoking...

[BearBellyUK]

How much do you guys drink? And on what sort of basis? Do drinking and smoking go hand in hand? I didn't start smoking until I began going to pubs, now I have to smoke when I drink.

I go out 4 night a week and have a few beers each night, so over the period of a week I drink on in the region of 50 pints of Guinness.

That horrifies me, I never realised that it was that much until I thought about it last night. That's why it got me thinking about everyone else's drinking habits.

I could drink at least a bottle of red every night but try not to ! This is at home tho - it must cost you a fortune? I buy all mine in france so very cheap and always got plenty here so very tempting. At weekends and when on hols i make sure its gone midday before i open a bottle. Probably average between 5 and 10 bottles a week depending on cirmcumstances. Oh by the way im an ex smoker, gave up totally on millenium night.

It does cost quite a bit! lol

i used to go out a lot - then my boyfriend came along.

Now im just like a little trapped housewife.... although he does let me out of the kitchens on a Thursday, so i do tend to take advantage of that...

Don't drink everyday but certainly make up for it on w/ends. Have been known to go out on Friday and come home on early doors on Sunday, get a good kicking off the missus then go to bed (binge drinking culture I suppose).

drink approx 20 pints a week at moment probably. But, with new darts and pool seasons starting (and dominoes for some unknown drunken reason - don't think I'll play that much!) that'll probably go up to around 35.
Generally tend to go out on Fri/Sat and sometimes a couple Sunday afternoon, depending on what footie's on.
Smoking-wise, I'll smoke maybe 5 a day if I dont go to the pub. If I do it'll be 20ish probably.

Me and my b/f drink every night.We used to drink vodka and orange but we were pouring such large measures(well you do at home) that we stopped buying that and now only drink wine.Yes we probably drink far too much,but will try and cut down when pressures at home have eased a bit.

50 pints a week i take it your user name didnt take a lot of imagination then ..LOL

B B you didnt say how many cigs you smoke and if not too rude i wonder how old you are ? because obviously younger people can tollerate more alcohol.

[BearBellyUK]

I'm 30 years old now, on an average day smoke 25, but if in the pub 45+.

[PinkFizz]

Good god - I dread to think what you spend on beer and cigarettes a week!!

[crete]

B B thats a lot of cigs and alcohol each night but you know that i believe when we are young we think we are indestructable but it may well catch up with you when older, but i think you will reduce the bad things as you get older.

[BearBellyUK]

On average around the �200 mark.

[crete]

do you have a partner or a family B B ?

[BearBellyUK]

Got a partner, no family.

[crete]

200 pounds is a lot of money to spend in a week on booze and cigs, are you very rich ?

[BearBellyUK]

lol
we're comfortable

B B my advice is keep enjoying yourself because before you know it you will be 50 years old and think gosh that was quick but just be a bit more careful re the alcohol and cig intake because as you get older your liver will say hey a wee bit less thanks and your lungs will say wheezzzzzzzzzzzzzzze !!!!! be well,

[BearBellyUK]

[crete]
