I'm in the upper end. I would say I'm a bit out of shape but my weight stays about the same. If I stop drinking beer for 2 weeks I can lose about 10-15lbs but comes back quickly once I start back up.

I've never been impressed with Missouri wines, but 2% seems pretty weak..............

not on your end of the state, this end we have some of the finest chardonnels, cynthianas (norton), chambourcins and a new one vivant.

Sheesh I dont think I have taken 2 weeks off of drinking since kindergarten it seems. Maybe thats how I maintain my portly stature.

A couple years ago, I drank at least 6 beers a day and up to 12 a day on weekends (with an occasional gameday where I'd reach 20+), so 50+ a week. I bet there were weeks when I teetered around triple digits. That was college.Now I work as a brewer, and its always funny when people say "you're a brewer? you must drink a lot!". The truth is I sweat too hard to drink like I used to. Also, my patterns have changed. Where I used to drink myself to sleep every night with 6+ beers, now I sample beer during the day and typically reach about 3-4 beers at work. This is drawn out over several hours in 4oz samples, all while drinking huge quantities of water and sweating profusely. I never really catch a buzz, and I've stopped drinking at home so I go to bed sober every night. I feel like I've practically quit drinking but I guess I'm still at 20-30 beers per week.

Addiction is steepest slope to slip on.

Not for a while, probably! And if I could figure out how to upload this camera phone pic of the thermometers in the brewery all reading 97F, you might reconsider!

Now I see why you said " all while drinking huge quantities of water and sweating profusely".

I'm currently in the 11-15 category for the most part. Typically I'll drink a couple beers a day, though occasionally I won't have a beer on a given day, and on another day I might have eight or ten. I'm getting ready to get serious again about my diet and exercise, so I expect that my numbers will soon drop significantly. I actually enjoy beer more when I'm not drinking it every day.

I consume every day to be honest, more on the weekends. I have lost 35lbs since Jan 1 2009. Consuming beer and losing weight is possible.

Yeah, I drink about 5-6 on weekdays more on weekends, and I'm down from 236 to 204 in the last few months.

I'm either 6-10 or 11-15. It's seasonal for me. I drink more during the summer, must be the hot weather. In the winter, often times I go the whole week without a beer. Depends what's available though.

I hear you brother. The brewhouse in Chico is ridiculously hot. I drink gallons of water a shift and rarely pee.BrewBasser

2 liters per day. I'm fat but I avoid sugar and empty calories so I don't get fatter. I try to save what calories I can for beer.

[ThroatwobblerMangrove]

You guys must all either exercise a lot or you are huge fatasses or you only drink beer and skip out on food. 16+ a week?? If we are talking pints that's a pretty serious amount of beer to be putting away on a regular basis...

I'm in the 3-5 or 6-10. I voted 6-10 but 3-5 may have been more accurate for most weeks. Basically if I don't go out or have company over there I'm not drinking that many brews.

I'm in the 16+, but I mountain bike 3-4 days a week. Typically I'll average 60-80 miles a week and thats in the Rockies, so there is tons of climbing. Mashman
