    This term, less than 15 units/week probably.

    Last term and first term probably 20-30 per week.

    Average week? 5ish units...

    But that'd mainly be alcohol with meals with family.
    Even going out with friends I wouldn't drink more than 6ish in a night though. I like being in control!

    None. The Great Lord does not appreciate this kind of behaviour.

    When I was in party mode I could drink a bottle of vodka in 1 night... But seeing as A levels are close and parties are not happening... NONE!

    Varies a lot throughout the year, but recently I discovered I prefer going to Pubs talking with friends and having a little to drink rather and than queuing up to get into loud sweaty clubs and getting absolutely plastered. So whatever the figure is right now, I'm expecting it to dramatically drop.

    Far be it from me to question Lord Sugar, but if I want to drink alcohol it's my decision.

    Way too much - probably 40 or more units a week. I usually have one day where I get slaughtered and a couple of days where I drink 8 beers, but 4% beer.

    Hah yeah, my friends didn't warm to the idea at first, they thought I sounded like a middle aged builder, but soon they all followed suit, you can actually get some work done when you get home and you don't feel like crap the next day. But nowadays some pubs are just as loud and are just as full of drunk louts.

    Pubs are so much better than clubs. I cannot stand having to pay to go in some crappy sweat-hole to queue up for half an hour to pay £5 for a pint of crap lager!

    Probably about 5 or 6 units on an ordinary week.

    Come the summer, I dread for my liver.

    I will drink maybe 10 units in a night out to be somewhere between drunk and merry It's mostly vodka and rum if that is of any use to your question?

    And I will go out maybe 3/4 times a week, but if I have a lot of work it might dwindle down to once a week or less so it gives my liver and kidneys a small period of recovery

    I drink maybe 2-4 at the moment. At university it was often more like 30-40.

    Around 35 units on the average week (going out 2-3 times plus a casual pint or two)

    Obviously less now exams are going on.
