while we talk about drinking down straight scotch or a dram or two with a"touch" of water I wonder.............. how much do you all drink by theweeks end. come now.... you can come clean here since you aren't hidingfrom your spouses or explaining to your parents.do you drink every day seven days a week? since scotch can be such apleasure there must be some type of self regulation or i am assuming onecould get into trouble with it. what sets your limit and how do you setyour control? will you only drink in the evening? only on weekends? onlyafter 12 noon? only while traveling in Japan with your girlfriend? what isyour life design in this respect?

I like to keep my drinking to Friday and Saturday nights because I have abusy schedule that includes fairly rigorous morning workouts during theweek, and I'm not a fan of mixing athletics with hangovers.I drink scotch most weekends, and generally have 1-3 jiggers worth, andusually no more than 4. I like to be able to really taste it, and I'm notusually a fan of getting "drunk." I prefer the effects to remain more mild,and also to still be able to hit the mountains on my bike or play a couplerounds of raquetball the next morning. However, after a rough week, all betsare off.I guess to answer your question more directly, I drink about 1/4 - 1/2 of afifth of scoth by the week's end. After a rough week, a fifth or more.As I already implied, I try not to get "drunk." Further, I like to dosomething active every day, and if I drink too much the night before toenjoy it, I take it as an indication to cut back the next time.Depends on the situation. Most of the time, only in the evenings, but...

how much scotch do you drink?

Thanks Brett. I just walked five feet across the room to my bookshelf and took another look at it!

Steven Wright's joke, I believe. Why not credit him?

Getting credited is not Steven Wright's style.

That may be, but I would hope that taking credit for someone else's creation would also not be your style.

It's not my style. It wasn't my post. Though I do appreciate when people tell me it's from Steven Wright, because then I can imagine him deadpanning it! :)
