Hopefully, none.
How many books do you read per week?
at most 1 - but generally one every two weeks.
How many times a week do you drink alcohol? (caveat: if you don't drink then question is not applicable)
No times a week generally and maybe six times a year at most.
How many really great parties have you been to?
I drink about the same amount as Clopin. I had a glass of wine over the weekend, which I think was my first drink all year.
Twelve stunning birthday parties, and a handful of fun-ish adolescent dos. But all "single life" parties were pretentious beaver shoots, including the ones crashed by Fritz Mondale and (especially) Ted Kennedy. And married-life parties were pretty lame, too. I like family get togethers though, although we don't have them that often. But my brothers and I have managed to form a, well, a brotherhood over the years.
So, I dunno, maybe 20?
