My roommate thinks my beer consumption (generally 1-3 beers, 4-5 nights a week) is hindering my running. I disagree and since runners are supposedly a high beer-drinking demographic as a whole, I am taking a poll. How many beers do you drink per week?
(College partiers who slam 10+ beers on the weekends, you're not included in this discussion. Just regular adults who enjoy the taste of beer, no alcoholics please!)
Do you really ever have ONE beer? Isn't that a little like running one mile?
OF COURSE it's hurting your running. What kind of mental toughness do you develop from drinking one beer?
Do you think Pre ever had one beer? Seriously.
I have one beer 4-5 nights per week with dinner. 2-3 drinks ~1 night per week. No alcohol 1-2 nights per week.
I drink one beer pretty much every night. Its rare that I dont drink one. Sometimes I have two on the weekend nights, ie if I am out to dinner at a restaurant...
I'm on my 5th one tonight for no reason at all.

I typically go through ~2 6-packs a week. Usually a beer with each dinner, and an extra 6-pack on sunday afternoons following the long run and post long-run brunch.
maybe a six pack from trader joe's and two every time i eat out (2 times a week). you're fine.
i'm sure your roommate has a vice that's holding him back too so tell him to shut his pie hole.
Probably average 3 a week. Basically, will grab 1-2 with friends when we go out to a bar or restaurant. Other than that, nothing.
Probably average 7-10 or so a week. One night a week 3-4 beer and then a beer with dinner on 4-6 of the other nights.
None.
Ever.
Never missed it.
(Granted, I'm not a regular adult who enjoys the taste of beer [are you kidding me? just the *smell* would gag a maggot], but I figured you should get a fairly complete representation.)

Ditto. All you have to do is watch commercials during any football broadcast to see the demographics associated with beer drinkers. Just the type of people associated with beer drinking would turn me away.
I probably average 12-14 beers per week, in 3-5 nights of drinking. My favorite day to drink being Sundays. Nothing like getting that long run in, knowing I start work the next day and watching football all day. I also like going to happy hour a few times a week and having 2-3 microbrews. I cant live without my beer and running. I've stayed sober up to 2-3 months back in the college days, and didnt make a difference in my running. Although today, at almost 40 years old, I think it would knock a few pounds off.
20 to 25 drinks (mostly wine & liquor, & little beer).
Lets see I do my best to not drink 2 nights a week (usually doesn't happen)
3 drinks 3 nights & 6-10 the other 2.
Spend some time in Europe & you'll realize we Americans are prudes.
Live it up pussies & pound some drinks.
What does drinking beer have to do with being a pussy? If you need that much alcohol to have fun and get laid, you need to learn some game bro. Probably is more important in Europe though cuz they are a bunch of homely fags.
Cool, glad you turned this into the teetotaler borefest. Enjoy your statistically shorter lives and increased risk of dementia.
I think I average about 12, with 6-8 of those coming on Saturday nights and the rest with dinner
I said you're a pussy if you think drinking alcohol is bad. Not the other way around.

To be honest, this post helps explain a lot. Sort of dovetails with my not being a regular adult, actually...

Totally. Generally the people in specific television commercials are pretty representative of a diverse set of people. I never buy jeans because of those stupid Mike Rowe commercials. In fact, I don't really relate to the whole "pants-wearing" segment at all. Guess I'm just above that shit!
