How many units of Alcohol do you drink on a night out?
14
So I'm curious. On your standard night out, how many units of Alcohol do you drink?
There's a unit calculator here., or a pint of beer, and a 175 ml glass of wine contain 2.5 units; an Alcopop about 1.5 and a 25ml shot of vodka about 1 unit.
By the way, this isn't for a psych project or anything, I'm just curious.

I tried to keep count once or twice, but it's never really possible.
Needless to say, a lot. I keep finding credit card receipts in my wallet made out for drinks I never recall consuming...

Oh yeah - card receipts are usually indicative of a good/drunken night...

Oh and personally speaking, it depends. On vodka red bull night, it's probably in the thirties somewhere - 10 at home beforehand, and as many vodka red bulls as I have pounds in my wallet, so usually about 25.
Other nights, more like 15.
(Can you tell that I live in a not so huge provincial town where VodBull night is a highlight of the social week?)

I can consume between 10 and 20 units, so I answered 10-15. I very rarely go out drinking though. Unless it is cadet camp. Ooops.
I answered the "check your drinking" questions and had "less than monthly" for "how often do you drink more than 6 units at one go" and never for all the others. But apparently my drinking my be causing a problem. Hmm.

Usually around 15, never go far beyond 20
And on that website I also got the "your drinking may be causing you some problems" complete with the nerdy looking guy in the green shirt smirking at me

23.9 over the course of last night, from the barbeque at six to the end of the Union at two. I'm surprised and disappointed that a dbl GNT is only 1.9 units, when a pint of Export is 2.7.
