[HerrHiller]

i just kegged on saturday. the 23rd. and its now thrusday the 28th.. and noone has really drunk any except me.. my mom had like 3 glasses and my step-dad one or 2...other than that its just been me.. i've had 4-6 every night.. and a few for breakfast. (only one a day for breakfast not to get drunk just love the flavor. [mod edit] coffee.) and well m corny is almost empty allready. ha ha would u say im an alchy? or would u say welcome to the other half of homebrewing? ha ha ha. the best part of it is...i check my phonebook because i forgot the number to the LHBS. below the number was a number for alcoholism disease...must be a common homebrewer symptom ;-). sorry for bad grammer im quite buzzed as i write this...and as u all know i normally have bad grammar anyways.

Do you actually need to ask? 5 gallons in as many days does sound like quite a lot.

Get a wife...they are good for beer drinking guidelines. Just joking, mine seems to prefer me drinking. Any way I used to drink in the morning all the time, of course I did work Graveyard and it was really my night. It's always interesting watching the clerks expression when your in dirty work clothes buying beer at 7:30 am. I'm not sure about you, buy my self diagnostic is if I'm worried about it, it's probably time to cut back.

Do you normally drink your batches this fast or is this one just extra good so you can't get enough? I wouldn't consider you an alcoholic though. Alcoholics drink because they need that buzz; you an myself drink because it tastes so damn good. I don't drink like you're describing but I have one a day for good health and a bunch on the weekend for good measure. (IMG:style_emoticons/brewboard/hehe.gif)

Just the 4-6 every night is a lot unless you weigh 400lbs. I'd consider cutting back to 1-2 daily. This is well within acceptable levels. If you must have one in the morning perhaps just have one in the morning and one at night.

For the record I usually have about 7 beers a week. Most nights I just have one beer (or none!) but if I go out or have company over I might have 3-6 (this only happens every couple weeks).

If it is a serious question (and not just a bit of bragging about the beer) then its time to cut back some.

Hopefully it is just that the beer is good, you took pride in making it, and the novelty of having beer on tap is just addictive for the first month or so (IMG:style_emoticons/brewboard/cheers.gif)

I think we all go through something similar at first (IMG:style_emoticons/brewboard/cool.gif)

(of course I can't remember it for some reason)

I snort cocaine because it smells good.....

How do you drink so much and not gain a butt load (or two) of weight?

[HerrHiller]

ok this was really only a joke guys. i normally dont drink that much..it was a joke.. because this is my first good batch.. m first time having a keg...and i only had one i the morning twice.just ebcause i wanted that good flavor. its just the excitement of my own beer being on tap like dean palmer said. and i was just drunk and felt like making a joke so i posted this! like its like i come home and ill be ike meh i should drink water,...but then im like..but i have my homebrew that taste so good.. and its on tap.. and its the novelty of it that i drink it. ha haand i dont drink realy 4-6..more around 1-2 sometimes 3-4 depends if im watching a porting event or something. i was a bit exadggerating.. ok just wanted to throw that in before anyone thought i realy was an alchy.

The [man] doth protest too much, methinks!

[HerrHiller]

ha ha no no not protesting too much. when i have commercial beer it takes me weeks to get through a case...but homebrew.. i drink it all up quick.. and im sure as i make more batches that wills low down too..

kegging 101: if you don't let your glass get empty then it only counts as one beer.

Depends. How do you type when you're sober?
