Turn out the lights, the party’s over

20 drinks a week seems like a lot. Not casting judgment at all, just not sure how anyone can fit that many in to the routine of work, kids, etc.
I generally keep it to 4 or less per week, with the occasional babysitter night out bumping the weekly total to maybe 6. Considering dropping entirely for two months to see if it nets me accelerated feats of strength gainz, bro.

For the record, my 4 will occasionally include half a bomber of 14% bourbon barreled beer, and if it's an IPA it's likely an 8% double.
Recently started going to the pFriem Pilsner. Tough to beat that as an easy drinking beer that has some actual flavor.

Not really when you think about it. 20 is like 2 beers on night on school nights and 5 on Friday and Saturday.
The various guidelines out there have been cap of 10 to 14 servings per week and that doesn't take into account sex, body weight and level of physical activity. In other words, me drinking 20 beers a week is a lot different than a sedentary 150 lb woman doing the same.

You can drink 3 Pfreim Pils for every one of your 14% beer snob beers.

Yes, but they don't rate as highly in my preferred style. I generally try to limit drinking in the evening because it messes with my quality of sleep. I can get away with two if it's light. 3 or more and I sleep like shit.
I've also read that alcohol fucks up your metabolism and fat burning for 1 - 2 days after consumption, so I try to keep it to twice a week to give my system some time off.

100% agree on sleep. I sleep so much better with no drinks.
Also, I notice the adverse affect way more with age. At 22 I could drink 4 IPAs and have no brain fog the next. No longer the case in my later 40s.

Since I spreadsheet my erging right now I decided to just add a column and do the same for drinking, starting yesterday. "Only" 2.5 glasses of wine at dinner. That's where the under 20 per week is hard. 4 beers during 4 hours of golf is low, before any 19th hole or weekend dinner drinks.

This is another attempt at killing the control group over vaccines.

I drink three bottles of wine Friday through Sunday
It's true that as you age the ability to drink like a fish goes away
I come from Viking stock and back in the day I could really put it away drinking with Odin in Valhalla

If you golf a lot, it's way hard to stay below 20 per week.
I mean shit, when @AtomicPiss and @chuck and brother of @chuck were slogging up the back 9 at Tetherow in 93 degree high desert heat, I went through 3 Pfreim Pilsners (high @BleachedAnusDawg ) like a boss. And then whacked down 2 Boneyard IPAs in the clubhouse with these guysm. And then I probably had a bourbon neat when I got home. Felt fine the next day other than not perfect sleep. It's easy to throw down a lot of drinks, while not necessarily being an alcoholic with impacts on work, family life, etc.
