I’d say it is when you consider most people won’t drink every day. So those that do that’s essentially 6 pints a day every other day. That’s a heavy drinker I’d say. 

Some people don’t drink in the week but have 20 pints at the weekend or is that just me

[demon_dog]

Eeeerrr, what’s a unit?

I’m an old geezer!

To me it’s always been pints, quarts, gallons.

Yards, feet, inches, stones, pounds, ounces et al.

For instance why sell fuel in litres when we quote miles per gallon!

Utterley confusing 

[Rogstanley]

Don' my know why anyone us upset. Not being alcoholic lardarses is nothing yo be ashamed of. Body is a template and thatzv

They drink from bottles though

[ARTY_FOX]

Stopped drinking before games a year or so ago. They put something dodgy in it. Firstly I thought I saw us win the league and the following year I thought I was at some champions league games. 

 

Proper dodgy stuff. 

[norwichfox]

How many Pints make a unit?

[Great Boos Up]

Those bloody queues at half time for people wanting pies! It's not brunch, lunch, munch or scrunch. It's 3.45!

I just want a swift one.

(moistens the larynx for singing louder and that)

[CosbehFox]

120 people! That’s basically Coach 1 and 2

[Ian Nacho]

Old Bob would have something to say about that I'm sure.

Even less manly, that’s a sissy habit from the continent  

[ScouseFox]

does this include the 10k pints the 12 year olds that follow us away throw all over themselves pre match before sitting down once it’s kicked off? 

 

[Guest worth_the_wait]

Silly City fans.  Of course you're supposed to say 90 pints a week.

 

In the same way, if you answer a survey that says "how many times do you have sex?"

a. Never

b. Once a month

c. Once a week

d. Nine times a day.

 

The answer is d. of course.  Even if the answer is a.

Our fanbase is old and more diverse demographically than most I'd have thought.

 

 

 

 

Shit survey though with only 2400 people asked, 120 a club.

 

Wjats age got to do with it?

 

So me and my mate when we stream the game in our local drink as much as an everton fan drinks in a week between us. Then I have darts he has pool and 3/4 other six pint sessions a week.

 

Maybe they did the Leicester survey outside an AA meet  

[lestajigs]

Maybe because our fan base had an average age of 90 ?

[fuchsntf]

Honestly 15-20 pts a week....Where the hell did they do their survey!!!

Even though I trained 5-6 days a week and diats were something else back in the

60-70s. Taking into account that wine mixed drink consumption has gone up,plus

the evening Café shops, might of moved old traditional drinking habits around a bit,

plus the new Generations of migrants,might not be heavy beer drinkers.Thats way far

to low, or Provence towns/City anglo-saxon Wclass/Mclass/Landed gentry have changed their

Drinking habits. Also the 1960-80s avg boozer,still apparently drank less and not everyday.

 

My young life,New Parks lad,Sport wise highly active,which aquainted me,with new various friends and cliques,

besides my local bestmates.

Yes with a Girlfriend on my arm  I drank less beer,in Clubs and discos one often went on shorts,Or R+C

 

#started to drink at 15.

#Athletics and Rugby Club fraternities even at top level,had their drinking Reputation to keep up.

# Except Holidays,or the odd NC cheapnight visit,then Mon-Wed .hardly anything,no big session,but

   a couple of glasses,would help to quench the thirst,in summer,warm the cockles in Winter.

 

# In Leicester Thursday was payday also..training night for many Sport associations.

  But also a call for early-late night at places like the freewheeler-disco,in churchgate.

 2-3 pints.

#Friday..Lunch break with workmates,even with lower ranked management..playing Darts

#Evening ..join up with Bestmates 1-2 pts,at social Club.Then bus into town to join up with

   various mates,at another pub...Darts/Table-football and craiq with your gang,girls n boys.

  5-6pts,maybe upto 8-10 on a gathering pub crawl. Pubs then closed at 23:00 .

# So either,it was last bus home or a quick chinese/Indian,

   though if competing the  Next  day..its the bus.

 

#Saturday,lunch either having a goodbye or hello drink,with friends or teammates.

   1pt before game.

  If free personal  sport/game day,then Meet with friends for City/county game

  2-3 pts.If cricket/or day out  maybe 3-5pts between lunch and Late afternoon.

# If playing, 2-5 pts after game,before preparing to stay at Club for the evening,of leave to

   Join others later.

#Saturday night  prep, shower ,glad-rags, jump on the bus,then

  with mates,and all and sundry,either downtown or a country pub crawl.

 Maybe..1-2 quicks at chosen regular pub,then off to Bernies,again 1-2pts

Before last 2-3hrs on pub crawl,if in the know, some Pubs had drinking until 23:30.

So again 3-6pts..Yes on a Full Saturday even before disco/ Night club or Late curry

(Ko-innhore,until 3-5am in the morning)total  consumption could easily  be anything from 

9-18 pts.Then the Late night- early morning Add  ons!!!

 

# Sunday. If not competing, meet up for chosing to go,either on 1-2 social club visit,or just

    go,in my case, either Tigers or a junior club like S.Leicester,Syston or Westleigh..

   Lunch consumption 3-5pts,if Late license.

#Sunday evening,or extended long afternoon,R.club,(or county cricket visit) 5-7pts.

 

#one of my uncles who was single all his life,met up on Friday with his music/domino/card

  drinking buddies, Each session(ca 5sessions)   avg.4-6pts,so anything from 20-30pts,

covering normal traditional pub times.Friday until Sunday night.Hardly drank in the Week,

except holidays,Funerals,Birthdays.

# take into account,some sessions some blokes,in some sessions would do chasers,

  single or even double goldwatch,or the hardened with Barley-wine triple XXX.

 

The above was an excerpt from part of my and my friends-circle life,with normal pub/club visits.

Whether from WClass or MClass fraternities,I would presume from New Parks through to Melton Mowbray

and from Braunstone through to Stoney stanton,that was the normal intake around the shire.

Even the steady type would have at least 2 pts and the odd 4th per session,so even that is

a weekend of 12-14pts. Throw in a wild Skeggy Coach mystery Tour,or a dirty weekend in London

or even a Rugby Tour and your well set and away.

Though probably today more drink at home than before,and people never went out their way  to get drunk,

like they Seem to do today.

Hen parties somewhat refined in the past, though Stag dos did get wild.

 

Bottoms up..

I don't think it's the unlikely. I can go through weeks without drinking anything. And then maybe a little binge on a night out before continuing not to drink for a few more weeks. Although smoking weed...well that is certainly a little different 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Surprised nobody has said about the high percentage of Muslims in our fanbase compared to other clubs and some Muslims will not drink, that must have an effect

[VLC86]

Do a survey about werthers original consumption and see where we come then, cnuts.

Is it really a high percentage? I feel like those going to the stadium are probably in the region of 80-90% white. I sit in the KOP though which may be different to say the family stand for example.
