When I do drink then they are usually fairly strong bottles, so not 4 tins of 4% lager. If I'm in then it'll be 4-or-so bottles. If I'm out then generally I am OUT and on the beer properly. Sunday I try to keep dry but don't always succeed (I was fine today until I opened this whisky I'm sipping now!). Monday-Thursday I do my best not to drink anything and usually do ok. Usually. Over the week I am probably over the suggested amount but I go to the gym 4 times a week, I drink buckets of water and I eat very healthily. Booze is my only vice. Plus, I write about the stuff, if I didn't drink it then my blog would get pretty boring!! Friday and Saturday I pretty much always drink, mainly beer.

But you are right, by blogging, tweeting and talking about beer, people do assume you are drinking every night!
