Weekends only generally, but I have periods where I drink a small measure of whisky everyday. I tend to serve very short pours compared to a lot of people though.
A standard ml bottle can have from 25 to 30 pours for me. The guidelines to "safe" drinking in Canada are 3 servings for men maximum in day and no more than 15 servings in a week. I'm way below that.
Apart from bourbon or cocktails, very little whisk e y gets drunk during the summer months at my place. I usually drink scotch on the weekend, but if it is a stressful week, I might pour a dram or two during the week. When consuming, I usually pour two or three 1. By the end of the evening I am usually very relaxed, not wasted, and I sleep like a baby! Best medicine! I also like the occasional snifter of brandy cognac, armagnac, grappa, etc.
Sometimes I will drink a beer before a session. Depending on my mood. I generally don't drink much whisky in the summer months when it gets too hot. For those hot days, I generally stick to beer, wine, or port. Same as Donski for me - a small pour nights per week currently.
Sometimes I'll go a couple weeks without a sip, but lately it's been probably every second night or so. I usually only have one small pour and call it. Other nights I'll often have a beer. I usually only have one drink a night, but I rarely miss a night.
For me, the answer is simple: whenever I feel like it. In the real world, that works out to about 4 or 5 times a week, though I rarely pour more than one 1. Sometimes I have a scotch and then a bourbon afterwards, but I usually stick to just the one.
I find that when I have more, I don't appreciate it as much, and even a drop that goes unappreciated is something I abhor and try to avoid. My habits change from time to time though. Sometimes I go weeks or even a month or two between drams. I'm just a fickle sort, I suppose, even though I consider myself a real enthusiast. I think having at least a day or two off is good for the liver and makes me enjoy a dram more when I come back to it.
It's funny though; last night I poured a Te Bhaeg after a rough day, had a sip, and decided that I wasn't in the mood so poured it back. The annoying part is that sometimes on a Monday evening an hour or so before bed I seem to have the nose of old 'Dicky' Patterson and the taste buds of Ralfy yet some weekends I just don't feel 'up for it'. Such is life. I do worry that I drink too much well too often, really so a while ago made a record of what I drank in a week.
