I drink a beer or two most days. A beer is 25oz, and 8% abv, though. So what that is in terms of "drinks", I don't really know. Generally, I drink at the end of the day, once I've taken my socks off for the last time. I don't like to drink at the bar because drunk burgers are really obnoxious, and it costs so much more to drink out. I think that, terrible as it is, in moderation, alcohol can be very helpful when dealing with stress of daily life. I wouldn't attribute much culture to it, though. Other than the local brewers and their craft, there is no "drinking culture".
