How long do your band's usually prcatice for and if you do how long do YOU practice for?

If we're working on new stuff there's not really a time limit, they've lasted nearly 10 hrs (with food breaks) sometimes. If we're just rehearsing maybe an hour, hour and a half

A few years ago: 3.5 hour practice, 3 hours playing. Usually twice a week. Fuck me I loved that band.

Currently: 7 hour practice, 1 hour playing. Usually drunk. Eh, at least it's fun. :)*

My cover band practices once a week for a 3-hour stint. Seismic Feedback's sessions are usually much longer, usually 5-8 hours.
