How often do you drink?

How often do you drink alcohol?

I've fallen into the habit of having a drink every night at the moment.

Either a glass of wine or a G&T.

Who else? Or is it just me? 🤔

I try to have at least four nights a week alcohol free.

At the moment, every day. Up to half a bottle of single malt, uncoloured, non-chill filtered whisky.
What is it to you?

I had 2 glasses of prosecco at a birthday celebration a few weeks back - the only alcohol I've had this year. My preferred relaxation drink is Indian tonic water with angostura bitters, ice and a slice of lemon, or just Indian tonic water with ice and a slice of lime.

I don’t. Given up Christmas night!

If you didn't want to answer/found the question intrusive, why bother answering it?

I tend to have a glass or two of wine on Friday/Saturday/Sunday evenings.

Generally 1-2 nights a week I will have 2 glasses of wine however I can go weeks without having any. I do enjoy a drink but feel crap the next day and with 3 DC awake at 7am it’s simply not worth it!

I try to keep it to a couple of glasses of either wine or Prosecco on a Friday and Saturday night.
Having said that I’m off on holiday this weekend and I suspect I will have a drink every night!

Just a Friday or/and Saturday night now where I make a bottle of red last 2 nights. I've add various drinking patterns over three years though varying from none to every night. Just need to listen to my body these days but I enjoy a glass of red.

Varies, maybe 2-4 times a month at most. Quite often drink alcohol free beer these days - got a taste for it when I was breastfeeding and now often actively choose it over the real stuff.

Why did you answer then 😂

I drink maybe 5 times a year OP.

Once every few months if I go out. 1-2 drinks.

Probably five nights a week at the moment, but just one glass of wine or a bottle of beer

Most nights I’ll have a couple of glasses of wine unless I have to drive somewhere.

What's your problem?

You ran out of booze or something? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Before Xmas Thursday - Sunday. Usually half a bottle of wine or a few beers (or both).

Post Xmas I’ve been consciously cutting down. I did dry Jan and will know have half a bottle of wine about once every two weeks.

That being said, went out on Saturday and had 2 beers and 2 large glasses of wine. That gave me the worst hangover so I’m clearly not used to it anymore!

We’ve both cut down quite a lot since DH blood results showed slightly higher liver levels, he has 2 pints of beer each week and a bottle of wine. We only drink twice a week, maybe sometimes just once, whereas a year ago we would drink 3/4 times a week.

As often as possible.

But I do manage a few a/f nights a week, and a glass of something on the others.

Three nights a week on average. Usually a Friday, Saturday and Sunday night I'll have one or two drinks. Normally a G&T on a Friday night then a bottle of red wine split over Saturday and Sunday.

Since January 2022, I have been slowly but steadily loosing weight, from a BMI over 40, I had quite some way to go.

Cutting alcohol consumption has been one of the easiest lifestyle changes I found to make.

I've never been much into alcohol but found that my consumption had risen steadily over the years, cumulating in drinking at home pretty much every day during lockdown.

It had become a habit, which then became in my mind much more of a treat than it really deserved to be.

Since I started cutting back, I haven't had more than one drink at a time. When out with people, I'm happy to order a drink and make sure there is plenty of water available, then I drink the water and sip the drink. Sometimes I don't even finish the drink.

Before I even order or pour a drink, I think carefully about the consequences and use how I will feel afterwards as my guide on whether to have that drink.

I look for different ways to treat myself.

About three times a year, stopped in mid 40s

About a bottle of wine a week over 3 nights, so half of it on one night and a couple of small glasses on the other two nights.

Rarely, maybe once a month a glass or 2 wine. Unless something special like on a holiday / work trip. But even then it's few glasses of wine or cocktails.

Between 1-3 days a week, usually between Thursday and Sunday depending on what I have on, but definitely 2 days in an average week. Usually it’s a few vodkas (3-4) at the weekend or wine, usually a bottle.
