One of your coworkers is probably in this category and you'd never know. 

Of course I know it. I'm not American, but in my last job as engineer the whole 'culture' was evolved around alcohol and basically glorifying it. Since we would travel to some places for work reasons, we stayed in the same place and everything they'd do in their free time was to drink and keep drinking :toofunny3:

Y'all will believe anything you read on the internet :deadbanana2:

You'd be surprised, I work in trades and I know multiple guys who drink 10-15+ beer a night

I believe it. I also believe many people in the 1-8 drinks per range week are lying or underestimating. 

 

I'm not sober, but I sometimes go many weeks without drinking now, and only really do it if I've planned a fun night out with friends. The older I've gotten, the more it shocks me how many people cannot function in social settings or even just at home without alcohol alongside dinner.

 

Tbh I'm sick of going to events on a weeknight and having someone inevitably imply or ask if I'm "sober" like I'm an ex-alcoholic :deadbanana2: when I only ask for water. Sorry I prioritize my health and my body, making it to the gym later etc. :rip: 

It's honestly amazing how if you don't drink, some people will assume you're a recovering alcoholic or something. It's happened a couple of times I've gone out for work related stuff. :rip:

70?!?! There's no way. That's like 3.5 per day.  The human body really is resilient :deadbanana2: Not just your liver, but the stomach has to be wrecked.

70 drinks, I don't believe it :deadbanana2:

 

i drink like one or two times a month and I can't get past three cocktails without feeling gross. I'm not a beer person either and will only drink wine if at a work event or something.
 

back when I was in my early 20s tho is a different story :rip:

It's crazy!

 

Don't get me wrong — I love getting trashed with my friends sometimes. It's fun. But drinking is just not a necessity for me period. I could go the rest of my life without a single drink and not think twice about it.

I can't imagine drinking that much alcohol in a week. :biblio:

 

I'll have a couple beers or seltzers throughout the week, and maybe drink some more if I go out. 70 is a bit ridiculous though.

i'm not sober or anything but i haven't had a drink in 5 years and i honestly don't miss it. idk why some people have the need to drink THAT much :rip:

It's because the vast majority of people that are drinking to that extent aren't doing it for fun, they're doing it to cope. Most alcoholics/addicts use substances to stop feeling certain emotions or start feeling something else.

I'm so happy I have ZERO desire to drink any alcohol. I do smoke weed regularly tho so that's my vice.
