mindfful: see thats the thing what is alot and what is regular and what is regularly?
im not sure i want to absolutely exclude people but i dont wanna ask em outright to make a list like venusinsilk just offered and i hate waitin around to 'see' cuz so often they were minimizing the situation with their choice from the list anyway
wonder if they are drinkin and smokin regularly in glasgow right now! lucky ducks
To me it means they drink every day. To me thats a lot. Im thinking they smoke on occasion not every day. At least thats how it reads to me

It means something different to each person.
Drinks regularly could mean all day every day, it could mean a glass of red wine with the evening meal, it could mean a single pint every Friday night after work.
Smoking socially can be people who only smoke when they go out for a drink, smoking the occassional spliff, it could be a euphamism for not being so attached to nicotine that they'd be prepared to sacrifice a potential relationship for it.
You ain't gonna know unless you ask and even then you might not get an entirely truthful answer.
mindfful: i wonder what this term means on the profiles?
only a teeny tiny percentage of CS members come into forums but if some of you could share ideas i might learn somethingdrinks regularly
smokes sociallyand a few of those other terms just seem so
I just ignore those two thing and wait until I am in stage one, emailing to someone interesting...sometimes people lie because of privacy issues......if someone is really interested, they will come clean about vices.....one would think so anyway....

But someone who drinks a small glass of wine every day drinks the same as someone who drinks a bottle of wine on a Friday night, but maybe more sensibly.

of course this strategy is the only viable alternative
but i thot it might make interesting conversation and i always find it interesting to learn what 'common' terms mean to a variety of folks
it quickly seems the common isnt so common after all
