And you are Russian?

It appears apparent from this forum that Russians are heavy drinkers, we are conceived while drunk, born already drunk, drink daily (including mornings), and ofcourse die out of drinking with the bottle in the hand just as a reminder of how much we like drinking.

I’m not against this stereotype as long as it is funny because I like to laugh. Hopefully all of you do.

However, despite me being drunk almost 24/7 sometimes i like to know how my American fellows do, as for me this country is 200 years ahead of the rest of the world, and I have always been mesmerised by American dream and how much it means to Americans.

Taking opportunity of Americans being friendly and chatty here (which if great), I would like all of you (not only Americans) to post your average weekly consumption of alcohol. Obviously this period of a week will not work very much for us (we prefer daily measures), but it will be interesting. in the end i will also say how much I consume.

I’m from Wisconsin. 'Nuff said.

All kidding aside, since I got married my average drinking has decreased like a bond convexity graph.

From binging approximately a case of beer every weekend to now having a couple of social beers a weekend.

The best way to cut down alcohol is to start drinking high quality alcohol.

Like expensive wine and whiskey, then you start drinking less because you won’t be drinking so much of it.

So NANA, what are some good Japanese whiskeys?

Drank scotch on the rocks a few days ago for the first time in ages.

I am not super knowledgbale, but Yamazaki is famous in Japan but it’s quite expensive, they have bourbon too.

Another one is (Nikka) Taketsuru, which is pretty big too, but i don’t know if they are sold worldwide.

Last time I tried that theory I just wound up spending more money.

Works for 90% of the people, but not 100%

But if I start buying $175USD a bottle of whiskey, i will not be doing shots.

[system]

Nowadays i only go to clubs and bars where i know the people, so naturally my friends get me in for free.

And for drinks, i would NEVER ask for men to buy me drinks, in fact, i don’t even accept free drinks from strangers.

But friends and bar owners are different of course…

Wowsa!

I politely (was very hard not to use any snarky comments) declined an invitation to a $300 open bar party tom night… The usual 2 drinks I can handle per night just can’t be worth that much

It’s all over the world.

Women that look good and can flirt never wait in line.

I used to date a woman and she told me when she was younger she used to say to bouncers " The reason you have a lineup full of men waiting to come in is to see women like me. So let me in". She always skipped the line.

[system]

You have to wait in line but do you have to pay?

Girls don’t pay, Guy’s do…

I would never say that, and i would never go to places where that happens.

so what i am? a bar decoration to lure men in???

Not sure where this thread has been or it’s going, but I figured I could ask here.

Anyone ever tried absinthe? What’s the proper way to drink it? Tried it last night but I think I did it all wrong. It seems you’re supposed to pour cold water over a sugar cube into the spirit, which then gets cloudy.
