rkbabang Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Neither in the last week, but I am not philosophically against either. I probably have about 6-12 beers/year and do recreational drugs far less than even that (it's been a few years). But as far as what others do ... smoke em if you've got em, I don't mind.
Jurgis Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I won't vote since poll is misleading IMO. :) I have beer once a week or so, but did not have one last week. I haven't done other drugs apart from caffeine. ;)
Liberty Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Traveled with friends during the weekend, so we had a few beers (irish stouts from a local brewrie) and I had a scotch (Balvenie 12).
Guest Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I haven't. It looks look like we teetotalers are in good company. ;) http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/analysis-and-features/warren-buffet-the-secret-of-the-billionaires-success-1622649.html "Warren has never smoked or drunk alcohol. He is, at 78, extremely healthy"

LC Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 drink, smoke cigarettes, not a drug user but have used recreationally.
indirect Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 If you live long enough, you will get prostate cancer. 80 to 90 percent of older patients post mortem examination of prostate gland shows adenocarcinoma.
DCG Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I typically have a few beers (or sometimes a glass or two of wine) on Friday and Saturday nights. Once in a while during the week, but not often. I'll smoke weed a few times a year. Haven't touched anything harder in probably over 10 years.
Spekulatius Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I drink when I am not driving. Always looking forward to a glass of wine or a beer in the evening.
John Hjorth Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Kraven, 13th January 2015 on this board: ... There has to be a balance between the view of value investing as the hanging of beautiful art in a museum and real life. What good does it do anyone to say on their death bed "well, I guess in the final accounting, I lived a good life, had wonderful children and a beautiful wife . . . and the final numbers are in, and I guess my returns from investing were good after al."l!" I drink wine to my dinner every day. I insist on it. The wine depends on the dish [red wine, wine rosé, white wine]. My track record basically has not much to do with IRR, despite I'm measuring it. I look at the face of the Ruler / Lady of the House every day to measure my degree of success. And I talk a lot with her about investments. What matters is that I have actually made a material difference for three generations in our separate families going forward [read: inheritance taxes], and she understands that. So I get my glass(es) of wine every day.[/color]
Guest cherzeca Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 depends on my analytic load. if i am working though some heavy stuff, then no booze. if i am taking a break, dont mind a gin martini or three. too old for weed etc...
Crip1 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I like beer. I like whisky (and whiskey). A nice margarita is tough to beat on a warm night here in Dallas. -Crip
boilermaker75 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 These days mainly one, occasionally two, microbrews a couple of times a week. My favorite microbrews these days are from New Holland Brewing. If you like stouts you'll love several from New Holland--The Poet, Dragon's Milk Stout, and Night Tripper. Night Tripper being my favorite of the three. Note Dragon's Milk and Night Tripper are 11% alcohol. By the way, I never inhaled.
writser Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 A couple drinks most days. You must be a broker.

DynamicPerception Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Every Thursday we have a "Safety Meeting" after working a full day from 7:00am 'till 1:00pm. The other two attendees work(one owns the business) the other doesn't really have to work but likes riding around in the truck. I don't work but attend the meeting. I haven't heard one safety issue discussed at any meeting. The meeting lasts until we are out of beer of or someone's wife needs a hand carrying in the groceries. Once in awhile the whiskey comes out of the cupboard when the 'safety' issues turn political. Quite often we solve all of the worlds problems at these meetings.

Partner24 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Used to, but no alcohol anymore. Wine is good for a man when it's a woman that drink it ;)
rkbabang Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Used to, but no alcohol anymore. Wine is good for a man when it's a woman that drink it ;) I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates wine. I could never stand it. A good whiskey is OK, but I don't go out of my way to drink it. The only alcohol I really enjoy is dark beers, and since I've been trying to keep my carbs on the low side I don't drink very often anymore. Here's an article for the wine snobs: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jun/23/wine-tasting-junk-science-analysis
Jurgis Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I can only drink sweet (desert) wines. Dry (or even semi) wines don't work for my digestion.
