This past year, maybe 3-4 times. In prior years depends. We had a summer when my youngest at the time was 3 that we hung outside with neighbors and drank often and a lot.
Hmm hard to say. Mostly I just have 1-2 beers. About once every couple months if we have a date night I'll have a lot to drink, like 4-6 beers. I'm usually pretty drunk but it's still not like when I was young and would get completely hammered
I'd do it a lot more if my kids didn't wake up so damn early, if we were away alone for a week I'd probably get drunk every day.
I don't really get hangovers (thanks youth), but it's about once a month for actual drunk instead of buzzed. It'd be a lot more if I didn't have to work Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays.
But, to the spirit of your question, I'd say I'm seriously drunk a couple times a year now. Partly because I know M will be up in the morning, and partly because of this stomach issue that's been plaguing me for 7 months. My doctor tried some things and basically said "getting older sucks, sorry." I was too embarrassed to tell her that it makes me sad that I can't drink much any more. Sigh.
I was accidentally more than buzzed less than drunk this very month during book club due to half price bottles of wine during happy hour and really bad service where half our dinner never came.
This is an unfair question. If I have more than 2 drinks (like, 2 and then 1/4 of a third beverage), I am out of sorts the next day even though I wasn't drunk the day before. UGH
I'm another one who will wake up feeling like junk if I go to bed even slightly over buzzed, which is about 4 (good, craft) beers for me.
But actually getting DRUNK-drunk, I said several times a year, but it may only be 2-3. I hate the all day hangover, so I avoid it at all costs.
That said, I did still have about 6 beers on Saturday, but spread over a long period of time. Still had to teach yoga Sunday morning with a massive headache.
ETA: And now that I saw this posted, I realized that a lot of the people I know would be super drunk off of 4 of the beers I normally drink. So maybe I should have just voted and STFU. LOL

never.
I have had a hangover only 2x in my life, the last time being my 30th birthday (MANY years ago). For me, the crazy drunk feeling is not worth the hangover the next day, especially now, with kids. Parenting hungover is a huge NOPE. Even when the kids are away visiting grandparents, I'm an old and now have a big to-do list that I want to get as far through as possible while I have the freedom. Hangovers don't fit with that plan.
That's not to say I won't have a drink or 2. I totally will. Often. Just not the drinking to drunk part.
I get buzzed pretty regularly, I'd say once a week on average. That's 2-4 drinks.
I can't recall the last time I was "wasted". I had too much to drink a couple of times on vacation last month but that mostly involved just being sleepy and starting to feel a little queasy. I sometimes have a slight hangover the next day but that happens even if I don't get DRUNK sometimes.

Usually at a wedding (if we don't have the kids the next day) but otherwise that's it. I'll have a few drinks and get silly but knowing that the kids are gonna get me up at 6Am no matter what doesn't make it appealing
Very rarely and it's only because I've never found a drink that tastes good. I love being shit faced drunk with my friends, but everything tastes like pure hell so I don't really drink anymore.
If I found a good drink I would probably get hammered once every few months.
I voted several times a year which would be my norm but not this year since I'm currently pregnant and will likely be nursing for several months afterward.
We are people who like to drink and often have a few drinks in an evening, but it's far less often that we get 'wasted' because hangovers suck and we have a kid to deal with in the morning.

I don't drink a ton, I go through phases. The last time I was DRUNK was NYE 2014/2015. I've been buzzed several times since then, but that was the last time I was hangover-drunk.
I'll admit to several times a month. I'm not getting fall down/puking drunk, but I'm hanging out with friends and feeling no pain.
Yeah. I also have three weddings this year with at least two out of town Bachelor/bachelorette parties. Plus, the major drinking holidays: NYE, Valentine's Day, St. Paddy's Day, Easter, The third Thursday of every month. You know, typical shit.
All of my friends are couples with no kids, though.
