Earlier today, we brought you news of data from SpunOut.ie that revealed that four in ten Irish youngsters drink six or more drinks on at least one night every week.
Some of those surveyed admitted that they do so more than once a week, while one in five people surveyed by SpunOut admitted a need to cut down on the amount of heavy drinking they do.
Based on those results, we decided to do a poll of our readers to see how many times a week they went out drinking and how many drinks they consumed on an average night out.
The results of the latter poll were particularly interesting, with the highest percentage of just under 4,000 respondents (41.64%) admitting that they consume 7-10 drinks on an average night out.
Over 35% of people said they consume more than 10 drinks on an average night out, while very low percentages consumed zero (1.1%) or between one and three drinks (3.07%).
Does this sound accurate for you or your friends?
Food, or in this case, drink, for thought.
