At my worst I was drinking about 3/4ths of bottle of flavored rum 5-6 days a week 
It got really bad for a while.
I was drinking about 4-6 IPA beers a day, pretty much everyday. Rare that I didn’t have at least two. If I got a bottle of wine that would be gone in a night. I did my best to stay away from liquor because I knew I’d drink at least 1/2 a fifth in a night. 
I never wanted to drink that much.

I was easily drinking a bottle of wine a day. Some days there was also a brandy or rye “nightcap”. The worst was some mornings I took a shot before heading to work…assuming I’d arrive before my BAL got too high for driving. Not my best moments.

I could easily go through a bottle of wine as well. I didn’t like drinking wine because it was a very obvious measure of how much I could drink. Normal people have a glass. I had a bottle plus shots and beer.
@VSue when I was drinking shots and beer in the morning before work to stop the shaky, crawling out of my skin feels, I knew I needed to stop. It’s when I finally admitted I had a problem.
And to answer the question in the last months, 6 months? A year? It gets blurry when I crossed that line - but I would start the day with 2 beers (shots depending on how hungover I was). Then drinks at lunch, usually 2 beers and a shot and beer/whiskey/wine/vodka (basically whatever we had) in the evening. I drank to oblivion and the cycle started all over the next day.
Totally working M-F at a 8-4:30 awesome job that requires a degree this whole time. Definitely a functioning alcoholic right here. No one knows the truth of how bad it had gotten besides AA and this forum of course.

Nearly a half a fifth of 100 proof vodka and 3 to 6 beers 6 or 7 days a week. Scary stuff.

Unfortunately the last 9 months got really bad, 3 to 4 bottles of wine everyday. Wake up…go to the shops, go home…drink until I passed out and do it all again the next day. Thank goodness for rehab, doctors, and this app…39 days sober today.

At the worst point every day, I would literally start with a fifth of vodka. I drink way too fast so I never felt until it was too late, almost always I would go out after wards and get more alcohol. sometimes I couldn’t buy more because I was too drunk to ask for beer coherently. I think the most I drank in a night was two four lokos a fifth and some how with dying a six pack, if i didn’t black out I would have just kept drinking, and I blacked every night I drank without exception. I never drank during the day this was all after seven usually.

I would binge drink 2X a week, usually to black out level. Start with 8-10 beers and a couple shots at the bar, go score, then buy a 12 pack and 2 packs of cigarettes to take home to get me through to the next morning.
