A standard home brewing batch is 5 gallons. Or 40 pints.

While it is a crazy world and I don’t want to say no one has ever done what you described, it would be an outlier to say the least.

Home brewed beer is generally bottled or put into a keg and tapped.

(Almost) no one is just drinking warm uncarbonated beer from the fermenter.

Kegerators are easy and quite affordable to build.

I absolutely have friends who stopped home brewing because they realized that having a tap of readily available beer in their house wasn't a good idea.

Even if someone did it wouldn't be the worst thing. That's a pint a day for a bit more than a month.

The median Drinker / non teetotaler consumes about 0.5 drinks per day.

People with severe alcohol use disorder often consume 10 to 20 drink equivalents a day, most commonly cheap hard liquor.

Basically no alcoholic is going to be brewing a keg every couple days for self consumption.

Hard work man.
