Opinions especially welcome from men.
If a bloke regularly does a whole bottle of wine and 2 or 3 pints of beer (per night) is that normal, or above average? If above average, would it constitute binge drinking or a drink problem? Would it worry you? Would you reserve this volume of intake for the weekends or is it just the right amount to help you relax after a day's work? Comments please

Lots of questions here. It sounds to me like you are an alcoholic ~ try drinking it only on the weekends. P.S. How's your blood sugar?

I can only tell you what's normal for me.
For me, normal averages out to about 2 pints a beer a week. If I buy a 6-pack of beer, it lasts a week or two. Maybe I'll have 2 a day on a weekend, or 3 if I go to a party. Then I may wait 2-3 weeks before I get another. I seldom have wine, but do like a good single malt now and then.
If I drank as much as the questioner, I'd be seriously worried about having the DTs if I had to skip a day.

Regardless if it's a man or woman, any ADULT doesn't need to drink on a daily basis. Alcohol isn't needed to help someone relax after a day at work. That's simply a weak excuse for the immature or the alcoholic to drink. You have to decide which of those two problems the person has.

Normal is the mean average and therefore one would have to know how much everyone else is drinking to determine the average. Many people are not truthful about how much they drink so 'normal' cannot be precisely determined. Is your drinking affecting your relationships, your job, are you having legal problems because of it? Is it working out for you? You might know the answer to your own question.

I would say if you drink more than three times a week every week your a drunk. Alcohol can reduce your sex drive if you drink to much it kills your testosterone

Zero amount is normal. We don't naturally consume alcohol, we choose to do so.
