How much do you drink? Honestly

[Bastardanxiety]

Hi,

I'm sure this has been done to death, but I guess I was just feeling a bit nosey.

So we've just had dry January and there are more teetotalers in this country now than ever before, but we're still very much a drinking nation, aren't we?

So quite simply, how much do you drink(if anything)? And if you do drink, what kind of drinker are you? I.e, do you only drink at the weekend? Are you mostly dry, but when you drink, you binge? Or do you drink throughout the week? Are you happy with your drinking? Do you worry about it?

I suppose I should go first

This week I've had just one dry day (ooops- stressed, but only a small glass in the evening) but usually I'm dry in the week, but will drink Friday until Sunday. Not constantly but I'd say a couple of bottles of wine in that time, if I'm being completely honest, which I know is slightly over the RWA.

I definitely over indulged over Christmas and I always do when I'm on holiday. That said, I never drink to get drunk, although I do enjoy that slightly tipsy, merry feeling.

Ok, over to you....

Not enough....

In all seriousness I can’t drink much as I have an auto immune disease! And have to have my liver function tested regularly.

I currently have 8 bottle of unopened gin, at least 3 cases of wine - for some reason as a non drinker people buy me alcohol 🤷‍♀️

I do find I am in the minority of people I know.

None... I'm in recovery. 8 years so far 💪

When I was drinking, it would be about five bottles of wine a week at home and if I went out, several pints and some shots.

One or two bottles of wine on a Friday night,usually one though

Disclaimer that I'm not a massive drinker.

2 small glasses while cooking dinner per night.

Very rare. Occasional drink at Xmas or New Year? Lots of coffee during the day so try to drink lots of water in the evenings to balance it out. I'm in my fifties and have never been a drinker. I don't enjoy feeling drunk and I feel embarrassed when I'm out with anyone who's obviously slightly inebriated.

I tend to have a glass of wine or a bottle of beer most nights. Just the one. On a Friday i might push the boat out and have 2. But tonight im going out. Few gins, good natter and a dance. Home by midnight and tbh, i don’t enjoy drinking out. We talk so much anyway i might only have a drink an hour.

On and i drink gin/vodka wuth mixer and beer. Never had a shot in my life.

Last time I had an alcoholic drink was nearly 2 years ago. Don’t miss it at all.

A hefty vodka and diet coke followed by 2/3 glasses of wine every day.

Nothing Mon -Thurs.
Fri, Sat and Sun usually start with a G&T followed by a couple of glasses of wine.

It's looking like little or nothing is beating moderate to heavy 🤔 Which is a good thing, I suppose.

Nothing, I can't see the point. It's just wet calories. Several of my friends admit their fatness is due to alcohol rather than food.

Pregnant now so 0.

Pre pg- 3 bottles of wine a week roughly (Fri-Sun), more if out eg wedding/party.

More than the guidance but not excessive

Not very often at home - tends to be if we've had people round (quite rare) and there is a glass left in the bottle - but I can go for months without having anything at home.
If we go out for a meal I'll usually have a glass of wine then (so once a month ?) and if I'm not driving and we go to someone's party I'll usually have 2 - 3 drinks throughout the evening. (Maybe twice a year?)
Love Christmas though, when I can enjoy mulled wine at any time of day or night

Nothing, zero, can't see the attraction to be honest. I don't like the feeling, expense it's so over rated.
I'm the daughter and ex wife of alcoholics, so that probably clouds my opinion

I'm a weekender! Only drink on a Saturday night, few beers and couple of pink gins and then I'm fast asleep on the couch till DH wakes me up with tea and toast then I'm off to bed with a bottle of water

Very little. It was virtually nothing then last year a found gin and had one probably 5 nights a week. Since Christmas I have started couch to 5k so I am out 3 nights a week with a group needing me to travel to meet them, so I dont drink those days and have almost reverted to not drinking at all.

I dont particularly mean to. Just the way it is.

I can go for months without any alcoholic drinks. Quite simply I don't like the taste. On a night out if I want to get the tipsy feeling I'll have two or three shots of Sambuca to get tipsy as quickly and efficiently as possible!

Last time I had an alcoholic drink was first weekend of January, couple of Disaronno and Pepsi Max drinks.
I may or may not have a drink tomorrow when out with my DH and friends. I’m not majorly fussed, only drink alcohol when in the mood, probably once every 4 to 8 weeks. Not often at all. I’ve been like this for past 4 years since being pregnant then having my DD (now 3)

Don’t drink tea or coffee. Drink on average 2 litres of water every day.

just going to leave this here

i see what people mean when they say picture didnt attach,...!

A unit every 2-3 months.

And only beer. The occasional glass of wine. I don’t touch spirits with a barge pole, not even mixed.

Used to be 100units plus per week.
Nothing at all since 4/6/17 👍🏻

Very rarely I grew up with an alcoholic stepfather, in 2019 two glasses of champagne in NYE and then one glass of cider last week.
