are you still upset about my airplane comment?

I generally 'average' 3 drinks (usually beer) per night, which doesn't seem like much, but that's over the supposed 'Binge-drinking' line on a weekly basis.
Most of us know how averages work...for every night I may only have 2 beers (like last night), there's a night I have 4....1 vs 5, etc....
The nights (or few consecutive nights) I opt not to drink (especially when I've got a nearby plethora of options in the fridge/cabinet) help reassure me that I just simply like drinking, as opposed to it being habitual or out of my control.

I'm the binge on weekend type compared to your consistency
Oct 23, 2018, 1:06 PM
|

During my busy time of the year, I'll drink pretty heavy on Saturday (anywhere from 5-10 beers) then 3-5 on Sunday depending on how trashed I got Saturday night. Monday-Friday though no beers and I don't drink before 5 pm.
During the slower part of my year, I'll drink Thursday-Saturday (sometimes Sunday too but rarely). One of those days will be heavy, the other two will be light.
Does it make me an alcoholic? Maybe. Who cares.

they beers are generally of the lower alcohol content variety.
Saturday/Sunday...it just depends on when I start/what I'm doing. Yardwork? You better baleedat I'm going to publix first, to make sure I'm stocked up.

Takes me 1 beer to cut my front yard
Oct 23, 2018, 1:33 PM
[ in reply to I very rarely go over 3 on a Mon-Thur night, and IF I do ] |

3 to cut the side yard and out by the road, then another 2-3 to finish up mowing the backyard. I can do my neighbors entire yard in 3 beers.
They really add up quick when doing yard work.

This is why riding lawn mowers are so glorious
Oct 23, 2018, 1:56 PM

You add a pull behind aerator and lawn sweeper to your arsenal and the amount of time you can spend riding the lawn mower drinking beer is almost infinite. Go up another level to get something with a front end loader, and you can ALWAYS find something to piddle around with.
I'm probably going to totally kill off, grade, and seed my next yard just because I can.

Tractor is running again. Pretty sure I'm going for the 3025. I just need to sell my slightly used Kubota with over 5000 hours.

I had a mini mitsu, but I sold it and bought this Kubota without a loader during the first Natty.
I haven't killed the Kubota, I just had the electrical issue (now fixed) and the fuel issue (also resolved)

Should be able to get some decent money out of it

Ghana have to find the right buyer without a loader though. You axe about a trade in? They gave me like $300 more than the highest offer I had up to that point on my garden tractor, probably just to make the sale.

transaxle. My last one had a locking diff that was pretty nice. Didn't have much problem on my hills, which is what killed my first one.
These are pretty cool too

while drinking and running a zero-turn. It takes skill, practice, and acceptance of the fact that your kid might lose a foot but you aint dropping that beer.

Can you have just 1 drink and not drink anymore that night?
Oct 23, 2018, 12:58 PM

Do you plan your drinking nights out that week based on when you gotta get up and what you gotta do that day?
Do you feel like some nights you couldn't go to bed unless you had something to drink?
Me neither.................................................................................................................

I'd say if you are generally a happy while drinking
Oct 23, 2018, 1:04 PM
|

person, as in, occasional loud "Go Tigers" during the ballgame, afterwards turn on some good music, and fire up the grill and throw some steaks on...threshold is probably pretty high.
If you're an angry, cussin' at the ref and breaking chit during the ballgame, yellin' at the wife afterwards (God forbid smackin' her around), passin' out before you get the grill lit kinda drunk....then thass a problem.
I'd say the line is the manner in which you handle it. Nobody minds a friendly drinker, everybody hates an emotional drunk.

I don’t drink on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, just kind of proving to myself every week that I don’t have to have it.

There is no line. If you’re not either a raging alcoholic or a functional one, are you really living?
