I need that category too :D
Still got a untouched bottle of vodka someone gave me for my birthday last year, at this rate I'll probably never drink it!

Not one of those seems to describe me. I enjoy a drink of whisky or a nice ale, not because of the alcohol, but because I actually enjoy the flavours, I drink them for the pleasure, for the taste sensation. I don't drink to get drunk. Don't really enjoy being drunk for that matter.

Those are nine groups of heavy drinker, so of course you aren't going to fit them if you aren't the sort of person knocking back 100 units a week.

Yeah, I see my group there. Only drink heavily when I happen to be in that mood though.

Inaccurate article titles for the win.

I thought it was an amusing article title what with "drinkers" "falling" - maybe I'm just having a skewed humour day :dunno:

De-stress drinker & Community drinker combined for me. The first two beers of an evening don't touch the sides for me anymore, then I'll generally feel chilled enough to do something constructive with my evening without still being wired or p*ssed off from work.

Out of those I'm probably closest to re-bonding and community drinkers, essentially it is just an easy way to keep in touch with mates and do an activity we all enjoy.
