    Looks like 136 beers? Do you think this is a lot or not? If you divide it up equally it’s 34 a person and if they drink just Friday and Saturday for the month that’s 4 beers each night with 1 night 5 and also not considering they drink any other night of the week either. This can be as low as 2 a night several times a week which I really don’t think is bad at all.

      If we are guessing that each roommate has and mostly drank their beverage of choice, then while the overall quantity isn’t too bad, the guy who likes Blue Moon may need to rethink his habits.

        Yeah, I noticed this after as well. Some root beer and coke caps in this. Looks like another one may be soda, too, but I am not familiar with the name.

      If they were Lager bottles, I could have done 30 on a Saturday in college. Now a 6 pack will last me a month. Yeah, that isn’t bad for 4 guys.

      There are some data missing in this study.

      Did they drink all these beers? Did they have guests? Did they drink in other places where they couldn’t save the caps? Or in cans?

      The only thing for sure is that OP is ready for the apocalypse.

      Yeah, if anyone thinks this is bad, they haven’t seen what legit alcoholism is like.

      It would look like maybe 15 caps per person, but they’d be caps of vodka handles.

        Alcoholic here: I drink about 2-4 beers a night combined with a third to half a bottle of vodka. So yeah that’s not a lot for four guys.

        If you drink more than one beer a day on average, that is pretty close to alcoholsim. But of course it can be a lot worse.

        I just don’t get why alcohol is so normalised, even though the health effects are adverse.

          Wat. 2 beers a day won’t even get me buzzed ever. I’d get fat, but I wouldn’t even feel the effects of alcohol.

              Different people have different tolerance levels. Neither my wife nor I are regular drinkers, but I can get drunk on a glass and a half of wine and she can drink three glasses and only be slightly tipsy.

              She’s definitely not an alcoholic because we keep very little alcohol at home, mostly for guests, all of it gathering dust because we never have guests who want to drink rum.

              One beer with lunch and one wer with dinner does not make anyone an alcoholic, and I would be shocked if anyone could feel buzzed off of that.

              I have like two drinks a month, so I’m definitely not an alcoholic. I probably drink far less than average.

                  You’re moving the goal posts. That’s a completely different conversation, and one that I’m not educated enough on to have a conversation about. The assertion was that averaging more than one beer a day makes you nearly an alcoholic, and I disagree. Having one or two beers with a meal per day doesn’t mean you are dependent on alcohol, and I think it really downplays what alcoholics go through with the mental and physical dependencies that are created.

                  It’s really coming across as though you’ve never drank alcohol in your life if you think one beer a day really has this big of an impact.
