ST AA / Research Poll: Over the course of one year, how many bottles/cans/pints/glasses of beer do you think you consume?

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Jan 15 '14, 12:11

I was plugging in some basic numbers from the "$440/year on beer" item from B2:

Average Price of a 6-pack of bottled beer: $8 (random guess?)
That's $1.33 per beer.
$440 / $1.33 per beer = 330 beers per year, or 27.5 12-packs of beer.

I'm fairly sure I fall way under the 330 per year. I figure on a *heavy* week, I'd drink 5-6 beers in a week. If I did that every week, that's 312 (heh) beers a year.

Responses:

I average about 30-40 I think. Probably used to be close to 100. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 15, 12:36
30? maybe? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 15, 12:30
Just beer? Probably 100-150 variable volumetric units. -- nm - mafic Jan 15, 12:29

Dogfishhead IPA will run you 2.49-2.99 per bottle (at the store) here. -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 12:21 3
- and it's only average beer. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda, 778 Jan 15, 12:27
- A 6-pack is $15-$18? Yeesh. - JaxSean Jan 15, 12:25 1
  - A 6-pack of Yuengling is about $10 (or my other favorite, Land Shark) -- nm - Jovian Jan 15, 12:27

- So if I use the grocery average ($1.33/bottle), that still only comes to ~$600 for the year. - JaxSean Jan 15, 12:22 5
  - pints average more like $8/pint -- nm - decline Jan 15, 12:25 3
    - where are you drinking? - znufrii Jan 15, 12:26 1
      - yrah, your probably right. Domestics are cheaper. I was thinking imports. Guiness is $6-$8 everyplace I go -- nm - decline Jan 15, 12:28

In a year I probably consume 2 bottles of wine, 6 shots of hard alcohol and less than 20 beers. -- nm - TWuG Jan 15, 12:19 2
- That's a normal weekend for me... -- nm - decline Jan 15, 12:26 1
  - Yeah, I figured he misread it as YTD. -- nm - Spawn Jan 15, 12:27
does using it as a liquid for cooking count? ie beer steamed hot dogs, etc. -- nm - peglegpete Jan 15, 12:17 5
- How often would you do this in a year? Maybe 5? 10? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 15, 12:18 1
  - maybe 3 -- nm - peglegpete Jan 15, 12:20
- it counts as a waste of beer... :) -- nm - znufrii Jan 15, 12:17 2
  - even beer batter fish & chips? -- nm - peglegpete Jan 15, 12:20
  - If it was Coors Lite it was already wasted. -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 12:19
200-250? -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 12:16 1
- and yet still a struggle to reach .02 BAC -- nm - Max Jan 15, 12:20
2 -- nm - peglegpete Jan 15, 12:16
Maybe 75-100. -- nm - Roger More Jan 15, 12:16
I'll estimate... 15 bottles in a year. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 15, 12:15
rough estimate? 600-700+ pints per year -- nm - decline Jan 15, 12:15
Less than ten but more than zero. Six? -- nm - Krusty Jan 15, 12:14
0 -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 15, 12:14
I've slowed down, so I'd probably say about 6-8 beers a week, on average. -- nm - znufrii Jan 15, 12:14
If you ever drink beer at a bar those numbers are way off. -- nm - pmb Jan 15, 12:14 2
- I agree. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 15, 12:17
- And I'd guess I have somewhere between 25 and 50 a year. -- nm - pmb Jan 15, 12:14
0 -- nm - Spawn Jan 15, 12:13
Zero. I *might* drink 12-15 bottles of wine. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 15, 12:13 2
- (In the past 2-3 years, my $-spend on wine would *way* outpace my beer spending.) - JaxSean Jan 15, 12:16 1
  - Yeah, probably $10-15 is typical. - Kim Pine Jan 15, 12:32
