About once a month now. Usually regret it for days afterwards, but enjoy it at the time, so "meh".

I drink a few times a year.

I used to drink like a fish. Now, if I'm at a birthday party or it's a special occasion, I'll have a drink or two, but that's it. No more "8 shots of Jack Daniels" lunches. Maybe sometimes I'll come home from work and be like "You know what would hit the spot right now? A Manhattan." Nothing like before, though. It's gotta be some quality stuff too. No more regular, black label Jack Daniels. For some reason, it hits my mouth like sour milk. It's in, and it's right back out. I'll opt for some Bulleit Bourbon or maybe a local distilleries offerings. Got some sweet corn whiskey from St. Pete, FL in the freezer right now and some Maker's Mark.

3-4 times a week. I'd like to drink a bit less, but it goes so hand in hand with socialising and I socialise very often!!
I would have liked to see a 'where do you generally drink' type question on the poll..

Taking LSD and mushrooms at the same time with the intention of "Armageddon with Depression".
I had gotten to a point where living with major suicidal depression was too much. If the Johns Hopkins research panned out, I would either beat the depression using psychedelics or I would kill myself if they didn't work because, man...depression is fucking rough.
That night, after the initial psychedelic blast, the first thing I did was empty every bottle of liquor out of my fridge. Filled a tall kitchen can with bottles of all kinds. Beer, liquor, whiskey, vodka, etc.
It was a hard trip, not gonna lie. Seemed like it lasted forever. It was physically and emotionally exhausting. Ever since that night, though, everything changed. No more depression, no more suicidal thoughts, no more putting down whiskey like it's going out of fashion.
In my journal is a thread I started in the Wellbeing forum starting from a diagnosis of dysthymia through to the breakthrough and beyond. I had it moved to my journal because it had served its purpose - a place to talk about chronic severe depression as well as document possible recovery.
It has been 1,273 days since my last suicidal or depressive thought or action. Psychedelics can help where traditional SSRIs have not.

After the highs of psychedelic use consuming alcohol is not as attractive anymore. I rarely feel the need to get effed up. But it is still fun.
I also feel like when I used to drink a lot (university days) it was mostly to get over social anxieties I nowadays don't really have anymore when in social settings.
But, yeah. It is still fun now and then. Used to go crazy and blackout and forgot how I got back to my room and shit (uni).
I drink very rarely nowadays. So I picked once a month. But it fluxuates depending on the events going on.

I used to drink when ever I could afford it, which was like 5-10 tallboys a day, maybe a few times a week
since I started kratom I rarely drink, I clicked every few months (if that), I bought a 12 pack of tallboys last week cause someone I was with did, and it felt like such a chore to drink them, it felt like it took forever to drink 6 beers and it filled me up so much and felt like it took too long to get drunk, I did this 2 days inn a row, if I buy alcohol again im getting liquor next time
last time I drank before last week was december 25th, only cause I got some alchol in my stocking

I drink more than i wish i did. I'm definitely an alcoholic.
I didn't vote though because of your choice of words, 'alcohol consumptions'. Later in the poll, '1 bottle of booze a day (a fifth or liter)'. A bottle of vodka is very different to a bottle of beer.

Thanks, man. I don't really use psychedelics anymore...just weed and a good strong drink every now and then, but I advocate for their use in the real world by sharing the trip report on podcasts and in live events. Before the pandemic, I'd come home from events smelling like a whorehouse from getting hugged so much.

I'm a drunk every day for about a decade 3 or 4 tall cans or a 6 packish. Depends how much I've eaten. I'll drink my fill, eat then go to bed. Functional but not ideal. When I was actively making psychedelics I never wanted to drink. Trying get get off the wagon and onto the candy unicorn again.

I had to quit drinking. It kept spinning out of control and the weird thing is any time I had major issues it was when I tried quitting because those wd’s are not a joke. Building momentum I was ‘fine’, backing off that momentum got me a few hospital stays. I don’t miss it because I remember where it took me and I do not wish to ever experience it again so it took any ‘fun’ outlook away from it. Now people who drink annoy me a lot of time but all in all I don’t know anyone who drinks now. I was sort of the last one left at the time I quit.
Sometimes I think about how hard I made my life and how none of that had to happen but then again maybe it did. Kratom really helped with any sort of cravings I had for awhile. I also had one of those enlightening messages about the distortion alcohol creates in your mind from smoking salvia. Salvia is another one of those drugs that won’t lie to you about how you’re living your life..

I drink 1 glass of wine with dinner a couple times a week right now except for occasional weekends - so I marked 3-4x a week, but that's standard units of alcohol, not doubles lol.
Normally, I try to consume under the CDC weekly recommendation for women. The kicker with that one is that the CDC recommends no more than 1 drink a day for women...it doesn't mean that drinking all 7 in a weekend is okay or healthy, but eh, I'm in my 20's in an alcohol culture, it happens.
Definitely less so now that my social obligations have kind of completely disappeared recently.

Now both myself and PB have validated misunderstanding of your poll Asante. I really don't think the results are representative of anything valid at this point... Better luck next time mate.

Alcohol and I have a troubled relationship. Sometimes I love it too much and other times I hate it. I drink it if I have it so I only buy what I need for the night usually. Maybe a few times a year we will get some drinks, usually in the summer. I don't think I drank all winter, if I did it was a few beers here and there. I might be able to average it out to .5-1x a month but it varies. Sometimes far less sometimes a little more. I don't buy cases of beer anymore just a few tallboys and I like a good rum. It's an occasion or a feeling, "I could use a drink." Something about a hot sun beating down on you that goes so well with a booze. Currently caffeine is actually far more caustic to myself and my lifestyle than booze. 'Tis my crack and I gots an itch. I had to throw out my French press because I was getting all fidgety and cursing myself daily for inducing a near panic attack from the caffeine.. the beans were so good though.

I am on day 3 of stopping drinking cold turkey. I was at like 8 pints of beer a day. I've replaced it with exercise. From yesterday to today I lost 3 pounds (weighed at the same time with no food in my stomach). It's amazing how fast results can happen! I'm feeling pretty good about it and it's very motivating to keep it up. After a couple weeks I'm going to drink again, but not nearly as much. I'll have to be careful though.

It changes. 2 10% tall boys a day like 2-6 days a week it changes alot depending on funds. When I used to do more mushrooms I really didn't ever feel like drinking but since my kid came into my life that's all out the window. The shrooms make me too emotional around my kid and I get too mad at them so now I just drink and smoke ganja. I've had shrooms just sitting around for what feels like forever that I just haven't had a good time to take.
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Not a huge fan of liquor. I end up hung over for days after getting hammered; it's like getting over a terrible flu or stomach virus and I'll usually still feel lethargic after a few days of recovering. I'm also not a huge fan of that heavy, almost sloshy kind of feeling when you're really drunk. All that being said, I love the taste of beer and will have a couple every now and again (like once or twice a year). I smoke mad weed though lol

I grew up in an alcoholic family. Booze that he could never give up precipitated my father's early death. Caught my 74 mom with a handle in her luggage last time she came to visit so she could have a few in her room. You would think she would have stopped when her husband of 50+ years passed from it, but the shit is evil and oh how i love the feeling of not giving a fuck after having a few. Trying my best to be cali sober these days.
