How much alcohol do you drink?
Ok, so the recommended weekly allowance of alcohol for Males is 21 units, whilst for Females is 14 units.
I was just wondering how much people on TSR drank per week? I'm assuming only over 18's are going to vote
I seemed to drink a lot more over exam time, and was getting a bit worried, but I put it all down to stress
as I'm not such a heavy drinker now hehe.
Right the units are roughly as follows...
Beers, lager, cider: one pint = 2 units, one can = 1½ units
Low alcohol beers, lager, cider: one pint = 1 unit, one can = ½ unit
Strong beers, lager, cider: one pint = 3 units
Extra strong beers, lager, cider: one pint = 5 units, one can = 4 units
Table wine: one glass = 1 unit, one bottle = 8 units
Sherry: one small measure = 1 unit, one bottle = 13 units
Spirits: one pub measure = 1 unit (Scotland and Northern Ireland 1½ units)
Alco-pops: one bottle = 1½ units
If you are confused, you can calculate your weekly intake of alcohol here and it has pretty pictures too
Also do you drink it through the week, like 1 or 2 units a night or do you save it all til Friday or Saturday nights (stupid question?!) and binge drink?
Oh and this is my first poll
so if I've done it wrong, I'm sorry!

Too much alcohol makes you fat and unhealthy.

Some weeks, none at all, others, double if more.
Oh, and some of your unit ratings are totally wrong as far as i'm aware. I swear the last time i looked at a kronenberg can it was 2.2 units, so a pint of 1664 (premium lager/beer, ie. 1664, stella etc) would be 2.5ish. Standard beer/lager would be 2-.
Oh, and generally all my units will be in 1-3 sessions.

erm..... i dont, well not really anyway
hmm don't drink that often, its normally on a friday/sat night out i drink the most, and they only happen every 3weeks or so, even less frequently recently. When i go out ill have about 4 WKDs or fake wkds cause they are cheaper lol so thats 6 units, thenmaybe a shot or two of vodka or malibu(it is NOT a CHAV drink humph all chavs can afford is cheap cider so nerr) anyway so thats another 2 units , might have a bit more if its a long night, or boring and nowt to do but sit at bar laughing at mates stupid stories, so i'd say the most in a night is about 12units- so thats under see ain't i a good girl, although i guess its not good to use the weekly allowance in 1 night.

lolol i quite rarely drink - i used to a lot though but reformed :Rolleyes: but I only go out every month or every 3 weeks depending on how I feel and usually only get trashed completely on those nights (only usually drink shots all night - red aftershock being a favourite!!!!) lol then do a complete detox next morning lololol - water and more water and a fry/ or barbeque - ultimate hangover cure 
(best thing is I dont get much of a hangover ) xoxo

For me it depends too.
I pub quiz every sunday and have about 4 pints so thats about 8 units.
as for the rest of the week, it can be zero, but if i go out clubbing easily over 25 units that night.

I drink a pint or two every night. Sometimes I'll have a couple of whiskeys too. Occaisionally I'll go out and I'd prob have 20+ units in that night.

Ooops sorry
I was just rounding them up/down to whatever was nearest, sowwy I think I drink a bit more than the recommded, I maybe have a couple of glasses a wine, or a sometimes a lager, but when I go out I usually about 6 bottles of brown ale so thats not good. I don't drink every night, I don't go out on a total binge drink every week either, but I think I usually drink about 20-24 units a week....ooooops
