Drinking 1 beer

Akin to eating 1 potato chip. I don't get it, either you are going to drink some beers[designated driver, of course], or what's the point, I don't mean getting drunk, but 3-4 beers if your going to have any, am I 1 voice crying in the dessert,[sic]?

I enjoy a single Guinness.

Technically, it isn't a beer ... I can't drink many beers at a sitting ... too many bubbles.

Slight contradiction: I can drink a couple cask ales, but they are hard to find.

4 turns into 6 so I stop at 3. 2 drinks when out to dinner either Beer or Mixed. A whole afternoon and evening at home watching Football.....Who knows...Russ

Dinkelacker.  Pale Gold.

I have a two drink limit outside my home. Lately it has been at most one beer or other drink in the evening. However, I might be more prone to abusing wine because once the bottle is open I think it has to be finished.

One Duvel satisfies pretty well.

 Yes. But a 4 pak REALLY satisfies!

My doctor has me at ONE DRINK A DAY!!!----so--i abstained for 3/4 of December and the rest of this January and on New Years Eve I drank one  Sierra Nevada Celebration  ale for each day in the last week of December  and one shot of that lovely 17 yr old singls malt for each of the first 8 days of January!---is that cheating!!???----but for MOST days---i am afraid its really only ONE BEER a day! Oh well----at least i wake up on the top side of the sod!

Currently, it is Dogfish Head Head 90 Minute Imperial Ale.

 I (almost) always do "just one." 
That's 'cause I'm on medication and 2 is like 10! Cheap date, I am.

 I love a 'really cold Beer' in a Frosted Glass Mug(24 oz) on a hot-humid day! The first one goes down very quickly and flushes out the heat...The Second I will drink about halfway as quickly as the first, then I slow down for the remaining half. Usually there will not be a third!

I might be able to drink one Rolling Rock. For some reason, I go straight to drunk, if drinking beer. I could drink a few pitchers of  (white) Sangria, and not feel much, but a few sips of beer, and I am done.

I like beer, but not too fond of bottled beer, I prefer draft. I never drink at home, a case lasts as long as weeks and months depending on who, we get for company.
Usually, it is just the coffee pot.

But! when I go out with pals, it is generally a couple of large 20oz draft beers and lots of conversation. I like to eat with a brew.

Do they serve beer at White Castle??

NJ WC has a SYOIPB policy. Sneak your own, in paper bag!!!

For us GIDDY drinkers, that is cool. However, not all drinkers are giddy , so some NJ WC (like Jersey City) also have bullet-proof glass, between register, and customer. Those are considered DAQWB locations. Drive away, quickly, without beer.

If I know I can only have one beer, i'll opt for something else as I cant stop at one. I havent had a beer since New Years though and I havent missed it yet. I've quit smoking, drinking, i'm on a diet, and i'm exercising all at the same time. Yeah, I havent suffered enough in life and i'm an idiot, but we'll see how long it lasts.

I enjoy a fine beer,like a fine wine...I drink to appreciate the taste...not just to quench a thirst,,,water(or lite beer,which is mostly water) is for that!!! So one or two with a meal is fine, like one glass or two of wine!

Hello All,
If I am out and driving, it is one or two beers or none.
At home, I drink when I know I can have 3 or 4,...or
6 or 8....my doctor has me on a liquid diet.
Take Care,

Tough to have just one...maybe at a business lunch or to be polite when offered one.
I usually have about 3-4 a day, spread out over a time period of 6pm-11pm M-S.
Sunday during football season is a whole 'nother world. My beer du jour these days is Pabst. Cheap & pretty good beer (just make sure it is really cold). I can get it for about $12 a 30 Pack and I do like the flavor along with the nostalgia.
Harpoon IPA is still my favorite along with Allagash's Hugh Malone Ale....when you can find / afford it.  

I'll occasionaly have an ale, but only when eating certain foods for dinner.

Sure... I can keep it to just one .

Biere du Boucanier.  Or possibly a Saison Dupont.  If I had to stay homegrown, I'd go for a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barlywine. One of those is an insta-buzz anyway.

And I'm like you Davydd - when I'm out and know I'm driving, 2 drink limit.

If I'm out to lunch I stick to one --- if out to dinner maybe two.  I like beer with my meals.  I'm really enjoying all the lime flavored beers that are out now.

I usually only drink one beer. There are a lot of reasons, health primarily, but also that I love the taste of a really good beer, but don't like the feeling of being drunk.

Taking those factors into consideration, when I'm at a party and they offer mass-market beers, I usually drink diet soda instead.

If it's Samuel Smith, then one will do

New Year's Eve. this was the toast for the non-wine drinkers. This is a delicious IPA with little hint of its alcohiolic content and a beautiful floral-hops note...

Oh I agree...a superb beer to be enjoyed slowly...my brother-im-law's beerr society out west voted it the BEST brand!!!! great choice,if not easy to find...I also disagree with some comments above: ice cold beer...might as well drink water...if you're thirsty anything ice cold clenches thirst...and stbtle flavor is lost...hell most flavor is lost...ice cold, stick to free water!!!!

Reminded me of a quote of mine from many many years ago "I can't be drunk, I only had one cang."

I find it hard to have just one beer....especially in the summer....outside doin lawn/garden work,enjoyin the sun, food on the grill.......stuck here in the U.P. of Michigan where a storm is currently raging outside, tis but a faraway dream............................ :(
