Do you have acid sweat: how long does it take you to wear through a good pair of strings (d'addario EXP, Elixer)

I play constantly, you barely ever see me without a guitar in my lap at my house. My strings I use (Dean Markley or DR Handmade) wear out in a month or a month and a half. I always clean my whole guitar with the gibson cleaning package when I change strings.
