Apparently I'm a lush

[QuimJongUn]

According to this

I put my average weekly consumption in (3 or 4 330ml craft beers on a Friday and Saturday each) and no more than once a month do I drink more than 4 beers in one sitting. And apparently something like 87% of women drink less than me. Seriously? That's roughly 5 pints a week. I thought everyone was guzzling gin like no tomorrow these days? Actually I forgot to put in that I have the occasional midweek g&t. And I have been known to drink FOUR GLASSES of champagne on Christmas day. And maybe even a nip of whiskey very occasionally

Surely this can't be right?!

waits for the purse lips abstemious lot to tell me my liver is a prune and I need to get to AA pronto

I hope not as I'm screwed! Really though, that hardly sounds like a binge?

OR I'm screwed, rather.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

87 percent of mumsnetters maybe 🤣

@cheeseislife8 certainly doesn't feel like a binge to me! None of the beer is over 5% and I never get drunk. Pleasantly fuzzy at most, and it's worn off by the time I've eaten dinner. It certainly seems harsh to me!

I'm sure they'll be along shortly to tell me how alcohol is normalised and there's help to cut down available 😂

I'm a lush too.

Me too.

You’ll change your tune when you’re older as alcohol consumption can be very ageing to the skin.

I'm a lush too!

@Soola yep, I'm sure that six or seven glasses of beer a week is going to have me looking like Yoda by the time I'm 55.

Btw I'm nearly 50 and my complexion is fab

Lushes of MN unite!

Who have they been asking???
I have 4 small glasses of wine a week(2 glasses Thurs and 2 Saturday) and 79.9% of females drink less than me. Ive been given a binge warning.

Oh and my skin looks amazing too

@Pancakeflipper obviously it's because we're so lovely and relaxed that our faces aren't bunched up all the time!

That's mad though. It's actually unnecessary and totally alarmist. Four small glasses of wine and they're carrying on like you're a teenager on the alcopops behind the local Spar. Bonkers!

I really barely drink, and that amount would be way beyond my consumption but I always thought I was the exception not the rule and that most people drank that amount on weekends

@100PercentThatBitch most people I know drink a lot more than me - I'm on medication and have to drink moderately. My consultant has told me that I can 'afford to let my hair down a bit more' if I fancy it so I know my intake must be ok. Another reason why this is so baffling!

People lie about alcohol consumption! You either get the I have a thimble of Balieys at Christmas every other year or I drink 4 bottles of wine a day, there's very rarely a middle ground on these threads.

Plenty of middle ground here so far I think. Also no need to lie when it's just between you and an online quiz!

However it certainly seems as if the original sample group surveyed told a porky or six.

I apologise for my phone, on train wifi!

It's well known that alcohol consumption is under-reported in surveys so take results with a large pinch of salt (or large glass of wine - hic!)

I got over 90% drink less than me, am I Lushy McLushface?

79.2 drink less than me apparently. I don't care.... 5 small glasses of wine maximum in a week is fine imho.

Oh please, 58% of women do not drink less than I do. Bullshit to that. I barely fucking drink.

41% drink less than me?!?

That's got to be bollocks, I literally have 1-2 ciders A MONTH!
