Any time not spend drinking port, is a waste of time.
I probably average a glass 2-3 times a week. If I have a bottle open I'll have a glass every night, but once the bottle is empty it's sometimes a week or so before I open another.
The weather isn't cooperating right now... it's just a little too warm out (and we don't have air conditioning) to be drinking Port.

I usually have a glass or two in the evening, sometimes with a meal, often later at night. I tend not to drink a vast amount, though, as I don’t really like the feeling of being intoxicated on my own.
I generally get a chance to enjoy a bottle with friends about once a month, which is, of course, a much more convivial and efficient way of drinking

Moses,
Have you tried the Sandeman 20-yr old Tawny? That has LOADS of acid in it... far too much for my taste. I posted a TN over at FTLOP.
I can tell that it's a very good 20-yr old, I just don't like the style. But if you're looking for acidity in your Port, this one should be on your list.

Until the "LBVHW" it was pehaps 3 or 4 nights a week. Since then, not a drop has passed my lips!
I have however just received in the post a 1/4 bottle of the 1970 Royal Oporto that DRT opened for the "LBVHW" online and I have every intention of breaking my post fatherhood duck with that tonight!

I probably drink a glass or two of port most days of the week. Frequently, I'll drink this with our evening meal and then a second glass will be sipped slowly over the rest of the evening. My wife will generally drink something other than port with her meal, but then seems to find my port very interesting when we are sitting together after the children have gone to bed.
And, of course, about once per month on average I manage to find an excuse to meet up with other port lovers and open an extra bottle or two.

When I'm at home I normally clear about two decanters a week; but when I'm on my travels, that drops to virtually nothing.
At the moment I'm coming to the end of my summer starvation (18 pounds down with 2 to go) which also limits my intake.
In all, I drink about four dozen bottles of VP a year, plus a more modest quantity of other variants.
