Yep.  I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to beers per hour.  I can drink a dozen over a period of 12 hours but I can't do 6 in 4 hours or I stagger home and fall asleep.  Its a complication of type 2 diabetes, plus age, that the body takes a long time to process each beer :7500:

Doesn't stop me but it slows me down.

Don't know why, just always had the impression you were a 5 or 6 beer drinker. Especially at a once a month or so occasion.

In the UK that would be the order of the Day

Thinking back to my drinking days in Canada, over a decade ago.  The idea of running a tab was losing ground and people were expected to either pay as you go or someone had to put up a credit card as security to ensure there bill would be paid.  I am not sure if they still do that in blue collar type pubs but I know from my last visit that they don't worry about it in high end establishments.  But its all computerized there now so not much in the way of mistakes being made.

Once a month?  Then I would be a one beer type of guy -- cheap and easy during my PMS cycle.....he, he.

Heck even I had 3, probably the only beer I have had in 2017 so far. At 1/2 the price of a Coke I doubt they are going to be the last LOL

Many places put the beer on "Happy Hour" special which can last for an hour or for 9 am to 5 pm.  I think the reason we go in the afternoons is the beer is half price so don't be surprised if you go to the same place for supper and get charged double for your beer.
