    Do you have a drink each day after work?

    Just curious as to how many others here have a drink after work. I do so every day. When its warm I'll grab a beer, set on the back porch, and just relax and drink. If its cold out, I'll set in my den/living room and relax and drink. I only drink one.

    My mom gets upset saying that I'm an alcoholic and yada yada, because I depend on a drink after I finish working, but I don't. I don't have to have it. I've gone days without it. But if I haven't forgotten to stock up, which is rare, I'll drink one each day after work. For me, its relaxing.

    So do you have a drink each day after work?

    If I could find a job I would. Taking summer classes though, so I have one most nights after 3 and a half hours of Physics.

        I don't, but if you do I don't think it makes you an alcoholic. As for your mom, she's just being a mom.

          I think the last time I had a drink was at my wedding. 6 years ago this September.

            Not every day, but I'm having one now and will probably have another during the first part of the Twins game. They're playing out West, so the game will go past my bedtime.

            I guess it depends on what kind of mood I'm in. If I don't have any plans, yeah, I like to put on comfortable clothes and crack a cold one when I get home. I don't get drunk, I can't handle hangovers at work. I tend to stick to beers I can enjoy if I'm going for one after work. Tonight's selection:



            It's triple fermented, the third being in the bottle. At 9% ABV, it sneaks up on you. It's really fizzy and has kind of a bite to it. Very tasty.

              1 Corona each day after work. Having a beer + relaxing after a long day at work = one of the best feelings a man could have.

                  I don't drink. To me drinking is more of a surroundings thing. If you grew up in a drinking household or live in a drinking town or neighborhood, then more then likely you will be a drinker too. Not all the time, but more then likely.

                  I live in Vermont now and people out here, including the women will crack open a beer in a heart beat while they smoke their cigeratte. You do you.

                  I know some people who have a beer with dinner and a couple after dinner. In more big city oriented areas, beer is replaced with wine or wine coolers.

                  Now if you wake up and you have a beer with your breakfast at 7 or 8am, then yeah you might have a problem LOL. But one or 3 in the evening or night time is really quite the norm for most places.

                      I thought this by and large stopped two generations ago. Both of my grandfathers had a six-pack after work M-F. One died of a heart attack in his 50's, the other is still alive and kicking somehow. My old man never really did, he has his fair share of wine now that I'm grown and out of the house. I think my mother really cracked the whip and didn't want the kids to see him drinking when we were young.

                      My weeknight drinking stopped shortly after college, unless it's a real ****ty day or a great day, which is once every couple of months. I'm too much of a perfectionist and too remorseful right now with work to celebrate anything. Plus I go to the gym every day after work and I'm never in the mood to booze after I'm done at the gym during the week.

                        I don't do it, but as long as you're not getting drunk I don't see a problem with it. 1 beer after work doesn't make you an alcoholic.

                          If you absolutely have to have that one beer, then yes you are an alcoholic. For alot of people that one beer turns into 2, then 6, then 12, then your F'ed.

                            No. I don't drink unless it's to get drunk.

                              one beer or other alcoholic drink every day can be good for your heart.
