It was a gradual process. I basically hate feeling hungover, but I still enjoy the buzz after a busy day or in celebration of something. It's usual (on a weekend) for me to have more than one, and, sometimes, that means up to 6-7 beers. This is almost always within the comfort of my own home. However, my days of drinking 20 beers and/or ripping shots are over. 6-7 beers is still defined as binge drinking, so I guess my answer is never? I guess I would say that I still consume 4-6 beers a week, but I am beyond the days of making any kind of drunken fool out of myself. I drink beer though because I genuinely like the taste and it's nice to feel a little buzz and numbness behind the eyes every now and then.
