When you guys/gals get home from work/school, do you usually grab an alcoholic drink to relax for the evening.

I TRY and only drink 2 nights a week. (though I usually get hammered on both)
I usually end up coming home from regular work @ 1730, and going to help my wife run our pub.
Most days, there is enough work to keep me busy, so I don't drink...others, during slow nights, I might drink 3-4 beers to keep me occupied. Tonight, we have darts, so the drinking has begun in ernest.
BTW, for some reason, I never drink @ home.

Not usually when I get home, there's still to much to do at that point. I'm more likely to have a drink around 9pm.

I never drink when I get home. However I almost always have at least one pint later on in the evening. ...I usually end up coming home from regular work @ 1730, and going to help my wife run our pub... You own a pub? If you don't mind, I have a few questions for you. Has your state/municipality passed non-smoking legislation? If no, how do you feel about such legislation? If yes, has it hurt your business? I quit smoking a few years ago, but when I smoked, like most smokers, I usually indulged a little more when I was drinking. I sympathize with pub owners because it seems smoking is part of the pub culture. On the other hand, it sure is more pleasant to go out for a beer and not come home smelling like an ashtray. Some studies are showing the business is starting to increase in places where smoking has been banned.

Rarely grab a drink when I get home, of course since I am home most of the time, a 6AM drink might not bode well for the rest of the day...

Friday and Saturday nights are usually my drinking nights. Often when I get home, I check to see what dinner is before deciding whether to drink or what to drink. Some things go great with beer, some things with wine, some with a martini, etc. Some things go great with Coke or Iced tea, too.

If you don't mind, I have a few questions for you. Has your state/municipality passed non-smoking legislation? It just passed, and will be affective 9/2007If no, how do you feel about such legislation? I think it sucksIf yes, has it hurt your business? All of the research I have done, if correct, means I will be out of business before the "cycle" of smoking drinkers return.
I quit smoking a few years ago, but when I smoked, like most smokers, I usually indulged a little more when I was drinking. I sympathize with pub owners because it seems smoking is part of the pub culture. On the other hand, it sure is more pleasant to go out for a beer and not come home smelling like an ashtray. Some studies are showing the business is starting to increase in places where smoking has been banned. Again, the research I have done shows that also. But, we are a semi-new business, we inherited a *feces* load of debt when we "acquired" our place. I put a ton of of money into the place for the "previous" owner, and I could not sustain a loss of business for any period of time right now. And with talking to other bar owners, neither could they.

Kinda like JD, no. I rush from my desk when my wife calls to tell me that she's heading upstairs to start the bath for our little one. I race home, join the bath, the apres bath play and the putting-down.
Actually, I realize that I essentially don't drink at home. My wife and I may split the occasional beer, but I'd guess I have something alcoholic at home maybe twice a month.

I almost never drink. Never really acquired a taste for it, and never really had reason to drink socially.

Yes. We just moved to a new house a few months ago. In our old house, I occasionally grabbed a drink upon getting home, but not very often. But in the new house, my commute became much longer and more stressful, and I find myself reaching for a drink as soon as I get home. That's grim. I need to find a new job.
