Still happily on the wagon but then it is only 2 days 
Picking up on [MENTION=1022]Wilko[/MENTION] 's point I think the level of consumption on drinking days is key. My cousin was a classic example. He had health problems and the doctor told him on a routine check up that he had to stay below the recommended number of units a week, which at that time was around 20 for a man. This is going back a few years so there was no easy check on what a unit was, and he just equated a pint to 2 units in his head. He would go sober all week then, on a Friday, he'd go to his local after work and stay there until he'd drunk 10 pints. The landlord used to count for him. Then six days off again. To me that is dependant and I know he would really look forward to Fridays. But if someone can drink, say, three times a week, even if one of those is quite heavy from time to time I would see that as fine. It's purely subjective though.
