How do you breath (freestyle)?

I saw someone today breathing every 4 strokes, so it took her 4 or 5 breathings to finish the length. Thought it interesting to know the breathing styles of the people here, and maybe the advantages of each. Edit: Replace "breath" by "breathe" in the title.

    I alternate between 2 and 4 - on the right side... I am trying to focus on doing 4 only. However, if I need a quick breath before a turn and the timing is off, I will breathe to the left and it feels normal - but I can't stand breathing every 3, 5, etc - it feels really uncomfortable.
