How Many portions do you comsume in a day? How many cans/wk?

[pangloss]

Actually, I did my share of drinking in college and I had been brewing my own beer. I have given up drinking at the beginning of this year and I can't say I miss it.

I used to study --> exam --> get drunk --> hangover/recover 1 day --> study-->exam --> continue cycle

But since giving up drinking/going out I have alot more time on my hands and actually get bored making me 1) not feel burned out or running into the ground 2) ready to start studying again.

Back in college I went by the motto: "Give me Beer (liberty) or Give me Death (as there has to be beer in heaven)" but now i don't feel like i'm missing anything except for an excuse for less than gentlemanly like behavior.

I do like the taste of beer and the taste of coffee so currently I drink non alcoholic beer and when i've had too much caffeine i drink decaf coffee...

As far as the stimulants are concerned it sounds way more hardcore than it is. The coffee I drink is drip from a home machine so it only has about 60mg caffeine vs. starbucks venti drink/3 espresso shots (around 225 mg caffeine) or a No Doz caffeine pill (100 and 200 mg portions).

The diet coke only has 46 mg/12 oz so I drink that to get a cold drink in.

The adderall is a low dose 10 mg instant release with a half life (for my own metabolism) of about 4 hrs.

Non exam time periods (weekends vacations etc) I take a break from the adderall but drink about half the amount of coffee.

It all works out for me. For example its 11pm now and I ready for bed lol. No test for 3 weeks and I gotta sleep when I can

About 6 I'd say. It's hard to keep track, as I have multiple tins open at a time.

[Soft Morning, City!]

It varies. On a strictly loose day, about half a can. On a strictly portions day, a little more than a half a can.

[Multinic]

Depends on the strength: 10 thunder or 12 sterks or 15 regular per day.

[Ainkor]

Probably 6-10, depending on the day.

I think you'll make a fine doctor my man! As I am on the road to quitting smoking I probably use about 10 regular portions a day but try to keep them in at least an hour and a half. Sadly today I only have 4 portions left until my shipment comes hopefully tomorrow!

You guys wouldn't believe the kick I get out of explaining the concept of snus and harm reduction to my fellow medical student peers (many of whom smoke and do less than reputable things themselves)!

First they think its dip, then I explain the concept and they still don't believe me. Then I show them information on harm reduction on the internet from promotional sites (Northerner, etc.) They pass it off as businesses saying anything to get a sale.

Finally, I show them articles off Pub-Med (a medical journal database) with all the longitudinal studies and how they can't statistically link to oral cancer!

Needless to say they are mind boggled.

BTW I'm currently on campus studying enjoying a delicious Cranberry Skruf. :lol:

I'm at about 15 portions. mostly General White Portion.

I think I read on this forum that average Swedish consumption is around there. About 12 a day?

[Messiah]

it varies more and more. anywhere from 4-8 usually. Sometimes I grab a can of cope and that lasts 3 days.

[Fightin Phils]

on an average day, probably 6 portions.

[varg]

I probably consume between 3 and 8 portions a day, depending on how busy my day is. The busier I am, the more I'll do. Also if I'm partying I'll do more. A can will usually last me about a week, but I've been alternating between cans lately, so it's hard to say.

[Draquix]

A can of mixed los and portion, an oz of hand rolled cigarettes, and 5g of snuff a week. Sometimes a good cigar, but they don't taste as good since I gave up the scotch( and liquor in general).
