How many times a week do you drink?

[Hellokittymania]

I was teetotaler until November, and I still don't drink much… On two occasions though, including this week I've had beer nearly every day… It's not a lot, not even one can…

But I'm just wondering how often people drink? And do you drink a lot and want to go? Or do you drink a little every day?

Even when I drink a little, I get a headache, so I don't overdo it.

In January I had a drink on four consecutive days. That was more than I had drunk in the preceding two years out together. I haven’t drunk any alcohol this month and can’t see that changing for the foreseeable future.

Usually a couple of bottles of wine a week, usually over the weekend but sometimes a glass in the week

I usually drink on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Sometimes it might just be one can of beer or a bottle of cider, other times DH and I will share a bottle of wine between us.

I really enjoy it. Before we became parents we would go out partying all night every weekend, so we've massively toned it down!

Probably four times a week on average. I feel that’s too much, for me anyway.

I was teetotal for three years and now I drink every night to get to sleep. One drink is enough because I’m so slight but I completely admit it’s a problem.

I only drink 4-5 times a year and only a max of 4 units at a time, I find I get s low mood after drinking so it's not worth it.

Dh and adult DS drink 3ish units 2 or 3 times a week though.

I rarely drink, and when I do its no more than three drinks. That might happen once every two or three months. Although twice so far this year, which is definitely higher than average.

Hardly ever, probably summer last year.

My tolerance is very low now & I don't enjoy feeling the effects of alcohol so 1 glass & I've had enough.

Very rarely now, the older I get the less my body can tolerate alcohol

Once or twice a week
Bloody love beer

Usually every Friday & Saturday night when out in London or meeting up with friends. Sometimes a glass of wine or a beer in the week.

I don’t really like having hard and fast rules about these things. If I want a beer on a random Tuesday night, I’ll have one!

It depends.

I might have a few glasses on the odd Friday/Saturday evening.
Will drink if going out (v. rare these days!)
Special Occasions (Christmas, Birthdays, Weddings..)
Some weeks I can go without completely.

I used to drink a hell of a lot though, when hangovers didn't effect me and I didn't need sleep.
Now the hangovers last 3 days I make sure the occasion is worth it!

None.

None, I stopped drinking any alcohol in Dec '18 (I almost had none for that year before that as I'd tailed off).

Ooooh currently it’s every night tends to only be 1 glass of wine with dinner though....this has massively reduced. I admit I did have a dependency, since starting more exercise I’m starting to drink less and will continue to.

None. I totted up how much I was drinking over a week and I was horrified. I knew it was over the recommended limits but I didn't realise quite how much. I tried cutting down but it was easier to stop.

2-3 times a week, unless it’s a weekday special occasion (like my birthday or Christmas or something). Friday and Saturday evenings and sometimes but not always with Sunday lunch. I don’t normally drink during the week. Unless I’m on holiday or something. I do enjoy a drink so I’ll have 3-4 drinks on the days I do drink, but just not all the time.

Every Friday and Saturday. Friday is me and DH's unwindy, 'us' evening - he makes one of his delicious cocktails and then we'll have a couple of cans of craft beer each while we make dinner. Very occasionally, we'll have a scotch after dinner while we watch a film. Saturday afternoons we usually go for a wander and end up in a pub somewhere afterwards - just one pint or a g&t each before we head home and have a couple more beers or g&ts.

Also, days like Christmas/Easter Sunday (always a big family thing for us, much like Christmas), birthdays, gigs and so on.

For all that we very, very rarely are anything approaching 'drunk'. If I have more than three drinks in a sitting these days I get a shocking two day hangover, so it's not worth the bother except on Christmas Day when I sink champagne like it's going out of fashion

Once a month max BUT I drink a lot for that one night.

Monday - nothing
Tuesday - nothing
Wednesday - nothing
Thursday - nothing but sometimes a beer if it’s been a long week
Friday - half a bottle of red with DH
Saturday - half a bottle of red with DH
Sunday - G and T at 6 ish glass or two of wine with dinner but rarely half a bottle as it’s a ‘school night’
Happy with the amount I drink and I enjoy wine so buy decent bottles. In here I feel like an alcoholic - Mumsnet folk Don’t seem to reprsent the british drinkers as I know them

About once a month when out or at a friend's house, 1-2 glasses of wine. At home hardly ever. Never during the day either except Christmas Day.

1-2 times a week. Usually half a bottle of wine with DH on a Friday night and sometimes one beer in the week as well.

None anymore!

Not much - maybe a glass of wine most weeks. Tonight I might have 2 - out with friends.

I used to drink more, never a big drinker though, but the menopause means alcohol gives me indigestion so I rarely bother.

Lone parent- I have no problem at all with having a glass of wine at home alone other than the effect it has on me at present.

Some weeks I'll have a few glasses of wine most nights but then others I won't drink at all.
