How many alcoholic beverages do you have when out with friends for an extended period of time?

Depends on the time of day, the weather, what I’m doing next, my mood… there isn’t a “beers per minute” cookie cutter answer. Could be anything from zero to multiple back to back drinks.
Depends on a whole lot of factors. Could be anywhere from 0-6, with 1-3 being typical for me.
zero. I don’t drink and never have.
Zero. Got sober two years ago. Before I got sober, no more than two if I was driving. If I wasn’t driving, 6-10.
Honestly zero. Cocktails are so expensive and I’d rather spend the money on yummy food if I’m out with friends.

Depending on the situation but usually 2-3!

Bout 18 beers last weekend
Usually a glass of wine or one mixed drink is it for me.
When it’s just us girls, it’s usually 0 drinks since one of them doesn’t drink, so we stick to more casual hangouts like coffee shops. But when we’re out with the whole group (boyfriends and husbands) I usually have around 4 to 6 drinks or glasses of wine
Zero booze sucks

If we’re out for drinks then likely 4ish?

0-1 since it interacts with my medications/genetics and makes me feel really ill. I love the taste of alcoholic drinks but don’t like the feeling, so I might get one drink sometimes and slowly sip it and feel sick but deal with it.
Zero. I don’t drink and neither do my most of my friends. The ones that do drink also don’t order alcohol when we’re out together either out of respect for those of us that don’t drink.
Depends. Can be anywhere from 2-6. 4 is really my limit though. I’m a lightweight and 4 can have me sloshed but I don’t like getting very drunk.
1-3 depending on the activity. MAYBE 4 if it’s literally an all-day thing, but that’s risking getting very sleepy very early.
I rarely ever drink and my tolerance is shit due to that and various other things. So at most, I’ll just have 1 cocktail.
I don’t drink much, so never more than one or two max. I’m not interested in being drunk, but I do enjoy the occasional cocktail. None if I’m driving.
Depends, but 2-6?
Maybe two. I don’t like alcohol.
Too many
None, I haven’t had an alcoholic drink for nearly 10 years. (Was on medication that said I couldn’t drink, came off and didn’t see the point drinking again)
Depends on the season, day, next day, and group of friends I’m with. My core group has a tradition of a 12+ hour “Sunday Funday” where we’ll go to brunch and just “day” drink til 2 AM. So the amount of drinks I have range anywhere from 4 on the conservative side, +12 on the liberal side.
If I’m out to dinner on a regular evening, I’ll just have two.
Only one that I never finish!
Depends, going to Vegas with my GF’s we probably can drink 10 a day? Just out for dinner? 1-2.
Totally depends on the situation, but I’m usually in the 1–3 range too. Especially if I’m getting myself home or want to stay clear-headed. If I’m with close friends or family where I know I’m safe and don’t have to worry about logistics, I might go a bit beyond that. It’s all about pacing, comfort, and who I’m with.
I’m usually the designated, so not more than two.
I can only have two due to not knowing how my body is going to react to them now. Since perimenopause started I will randomly get super drunk off two drinks. I also get hot flashes immediately after a drink. It’s just not worth it anymore.
None. I don’t like alcohol. Now if they have a good mocktail menu, I’ll do one of two of those! But most of my friends aren’t drinking much these days anyway, so it’s no big deal.
Depends on what we’re doing and how long of an extended time it is. Are we at a pool/beach for 8 hours doing nothing? As long as someone is bringing me drinks, I’m gonna drink them. Are we out for a dinner for a couple of hours? I’ll have a cocktail or two and that’s about it. Sitting around someone’s place just hanging? Maybe have a few glasses of wine or a few beers.
Really depends on what I’m drinking more than the timeframe
Two usually. Maybe 3. Alcohol triggers migraines for me if I’m not careful. I won’t drink beer or wine at all either. Distilled spirits only, with food, and plenty of water.
My usual is a couple fancy shots/shooters and 1 drink(which is typically a Bahama Mama or a Long Island).
It depends on the activity… are we at a restaurant? Probably 2, maybe 3, max.. At a bonfire? Until I’m ready for bed… 6? 10? There’s no set number, really.
Last time I was out drinking i had about 3 glasses of wine, 5 shots and 2 drinks if I remember correctly.
Started dinner around 20.00, got home like 6am
sometimes 1, mostly 0
I have about 1-2bottles of wine
None. Every time I have even one drink I feel hungover within an hour or two. My husband is an alcoholic, and I honestly think my brain is trying to protect me.
1-2 margaritas if we are out at a restaurant. If we are at an event at the park for a few hrs we might be drinking 3-5 drinks.
Depends on how extended the period of time is but if we’re talking a whole night, maybe 6-10
it depends, but if i’m drinking it’ll be between 4 and 8
Usually 1-3. I’m driving so…..
0-2, usually 0. I’m a lightweight and want to actually enjoy the evening
Depends, can be 1-6, but usually not more than 6.
If it’s drinking oriented, one usually. Otherwise zero.
None…
None. Who needs that to enjoy friendship? Especially if there’s driving after.
2 – 4
1-2 per hour. Depends on the drink, the activity, and the price. With dinner, usually 2 alcoholic drinks total and maybe a coffee. If it’s $18 cocktails, I’m probably having only 1.
last night we had probably about 7-8 double vodkas?
It happens once, maybe twice, per year for me since becoming a mom. Last weekend was the first time in a year or so to celebrate my uncle’s birthday and I had 9 or 10 drinks but we started at 7pm and I finished my last drink at the last bar at 1:30am.
Otherwise, I don’t drink often, and if I do, it’s at someone’s house and very casual, so I’ll have 2-4 drinks max and I usually opt for beer.
Zero.
1 or 2. Never more than 4. For me it’s mainly about not wanting the waste of calories.
Two. With lots of water.
What is an “extended period of time”. If we are out for the night, usually 2-3 drinks depending on venue.
