Apart from a sip of champagne at weddings or other celebrations, I don't drink.
How much alcohol do you drink?

^ It's easy to get carried away, given the chance... I once went to a house-party where the hosts had wine coming out of five litre tap dispensers (good quality wine surprisingly), and each guest who arrived brought not one bottle, but a basket of them. I haven't seen so much booze in one place before or since. There were no non-alcoholic drinks provided, if you wanted one, you had to go find the kitchen tap! Non-hard drinkers were obviously not welcome.Suffice to say, almost every single last person there got absolutely frekkin' legless without even being aware of it. I'm not quite sure how many glasses I had, but I was sick for about three days after that.
Wow, sounds like quite a party. I've had a few hungover mornings, but I am proud to say I've never gotten to the point where I've been physically sick. A dry mouth and a headache is the worst I've ever woken up with.

I've gotten better, but there used to be a time when I would get hungover even if I didn't get drunk the night before. One or two drinks and I felt like shit the next day.
^ Were you drinking a glass of water for each serving of alcohol you had?
No. Do people actually do that?
But seriously, I'm talking ONE BEER. I would have a beer, which is not enough to get me even the slightest bit tipsy, get a full night's sleep, and I'd wake up with a pounding headache and a powerful need to vomit.
Now it takes A LOT more to do that to me.

Yes, I actually do that. And if I don't, I suffer. Your body needs plenty of water to process alcohol. Dehydration by itself gives me massive headaches, let alone adding alcohol to the problem!

Often have a drink in the week, it helps to wind down in an evening, and sometimes the evening meal just doesn't seem complete without a glass of wine.
The weekends are for beer though, not so much recently, but the highlight of the weekend was always meeting up with mates down the local and putting the world to rights with a few fine ales. Bliss.

I don't drink enough as there is too much blood in my alcohol system.
I can't imagine even alcohol making that agreeable.

you're just not thinking out of the box....
1 tin sardines, 2 spoons peanut butter, and 4 spoons castor oil, dash of tabasco, whip, add 1 shot Peppermint Shnaps to give it something to float on top of....
and drink very slowly...
mmmmmm...... that'll put hair on the bottom of your feet.

Occasionally during the week. Usually on weekends.
^ That's me! If there's a beer in the fridge when I get home from work I'll have one, and I usually end up going out for a few on Fridays.
Although the month of December is usually the hardest drinking month for me - have a staff party, 3 good friend's bdays, Christmas with my alcoholic family and new years.

Sacrilege!
Try it with PX sherry instead then (that was yesterday's little nightcap...
)
^ You are a wise woman. Some of us have to learn the hard way.
How about, a white russian?
Anyway, Captain Morgan is a spiced rum that tastes like candy in just about anything you put it in. A bit too sweet for me.
Precisely the problem.
Unfortunately, Americans tend to associate the word "beer" with "cheap" and "mass produced."
Try some good microbrews if you live in the states, Great Lakes, Sierra Nevada, Stone Brewery, Goose Island. International? Guinness (obviously), Chimay Blue, Red or White ale (Belgium).
mm. I've reviewed some 700 beers on beerpal.com
