Back in the old days I'd sometimes go through a case of beer on a Saturday night and a sixer a night through the work week, sometimes a twelve pack. I never really felt good unless I had at least 6 in me.

Now days I don't drink at all through the week unless the boss was breaking my balls or I've had a rough day otherwise, and then it's just a 22 ouncer. Just enough to take the edge off. On Saturday night I might have anywhere from 6-9 beers if I drink at all. Keep in mind I'm pushing 300 pounds. Nine beers isn't nearly as effective on me as say someone half my size. I recently went about a month without consuming any alcohol. I won't do it if I'm feeling too down. It just makes things worse.
