Spirits? None
Have never been fond of shorts If i'm going to have a drink it has to be a pint
Good topic.
Me?
Bought at Xmas for home - 5 bottles of single malt (Waitrose offers), 2 bottles of vodka, 2 bottles of gin. These were to stock up for us and family visiting/visits. I have 1 bottle of vodka and 1 single malt left.
Bought since Xmas - 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of single malt.
Now most of that lot was bought for either taking to family visits over the Xmas period or visits to our place, and theres 5 of us that like whiskey. So if we're all together we'll get through 2 bottles in a night easily.
Vodka is my main tipple and I do have 1 or 2 VnT's during the week, but no beer until the weekend then only one or two over the 3 days I'm on the coast and I go to the pub for that, I don't drink beer whilst in Town.
So in the period since Xmas I'd say I've personally drank 1 bottle of whiskey and 1 1/2 bottles of Vodka. So in 12 weeks or so thats not too bad IMO. I am being honest here too, no "ohh I'd better trim that a bit, just in case I look like a drunk"
Last night though, bloody hell.. 1 very large whiskey and 1/2 a bottle of white burgundy in a restaurant and I couldn't sodding sleep very well at all..
I don't think I drink too much, I should in reality stop in the week, but for the one or two I have during the week I think thats Ok.
I like to have spirits in the house, but I don't get through much unless we have company. If I want a drink of an evening though (not terribly common these days) I'll often have a small scotch in preference to a beer.
Maybe 2 whiskey, 1 gin, 1 rum in an average year.
I'm 2 into this year. One of Monkey Shoulder and one of The Ardmore. Got some new whisky glasses off KickStarter arriving soon so will need a new bottle of something to road test them!
Probably about two. My wife pretty much never drinks spirits, I'll usually have a bottle of nice gin on the go, but probably only have one of an evening, once in a while. Usually have a bottle of vodka and one of kahlua handy too, for the odd white Russian.
On the other hand, I built myself a kegerator and usually have two or three beers on tap at any one time 8)
I'm surprised at the answers so far. Is have to say shedloads to be honest. We don't often drink in the week, but a bottle of whatever normally lasts a month or so at best. Especially bourbon, that disappears quickly. So far this year I think we're through 2 litres or vodka, two and a half 70s of bourbon a bottle of jack, 2 ameretto things and most of a bottle of spiced rum.
We don't drink huge amounts though, and in that time we've probably had 4 cans of beer and 2 bottles of wine between the two of us.
I prefer spirits to beer at home.
If it's a really messy year maybe one bottle.
I rarely used to drink and never at home up until about 18 months ago.
Then for some odd reason i fancied buying a bottle of Jack Daniels. Lovely.
It soon got to the point where i was getting through a bottle of JD every week.
When i realized i had almost finished a litre in a week at the start of February, i thought i need to reign it in a bit.
Its really easy to fall into this kind of thing.
A bottle now lasts about 3 weeks.
Me and the missus and occasional guests will probably consume two bottles of gin in G&Ts in a year.
Ale on the other hand...............

That goes for any type of alcohol.
Don't people have liquor cabinets anymore?
Heck yes. This year, we've made apple and blackberry gin, rhubarb vodka, and crème de cassis. Yum!
couple of nice bottles of whisky a year perhaps
couple of half bottles of cooking whisky for hot toddies perhaps
rum for parties but that's not at my home
I was going to post similar numbers to above. Then I re-read the thread title. Ah! Per year. Hmmm! At least those numbers per week.
What about numbers for Coke & hookers? Time for another thread?
One bottle every two to three years ... 😀
About half a bottle of whisky a year.
Got loads of decent single malts but never bought one for myself. Two bottles of Bombay Sapphire a year for me and normally one bottle of Drambuie for the Mrs for over Christmas. So not a lot really. Wouldn't miss it if I couldn't drink anymore.
I have had a bottle of Ardbeg nearly there since 2008 and a barique aged grappa that I'm savouring 🙂
I also get through probably 3 a year of the less expensive stuff, but that is average of 1 or 2 max glasses a night
This is like a reverse pissing contest. I'll go and sit in the naughty corner, with an an old fashioned.
Big fat zero. I do drink a fair bit when I'm out (although I'm out much less than I once was) but feel that seeing as I live alone I'd have to essentially be an alcoholic to drink at home on my own.
****ing lightweights
If I open it I finish it in a couple of days.
So over the last year probably only 4 bottles of whisky.
Two years ago, I don't really know, the last three or four months of my job, a couple of bottles a week, plus all the bar drinking as well, prior to that, probably a bottle every week to two weeks. That was a bad year though.
Knocked that on the head when i left though.
