How much alcohol do you drink weekly?

[Supernova23]

As the question says. In a normal week.

Sometimes a bottle of wine over the course of a week, sometimes maybe 5 or so bottle of beer over a week, sometimes nothing at all. More often nothing at all really these days as I’ve a toddler and my husband works all the time so it’s normally just me and DC here. We live in the sticks so the idea of being over the limit and in sole charge of my son makes me a little uneasy.

"I love these threads!" I don't.

I don't like threads where the OP posts a question like this and then, over two hours later, still hasn't come back to the thread to respond to the many replies.

I'll fess up...Between one and two bottles of wine a day. I'm totally sick of feeling like shite. But there you go 😣

I agree it does tend to be that you do the same as your friends. Many of mine don’t drink at all now, of those that do I can only think of a couple who drink more than about a bottle of wine a week, most are like me and just have the odd one occasionally.

Zilch. Had half a glass of wine in 2006, made me so ill. God knows what is was made from.

I never really understand on these kinds of threads why people bother to come on to say they don't drink at all. Presumably the OP doesn't want to hear from you, she wants to hear from drinkers. People who used to drink and now drink none, fair enough, sharing that experience is relevant, but just 'oh I don't really like the taste, I could take it or leave it' I don't get it.

2 to 4 drinks either wine or gin usually. Some weeks nothing as I don't usually drink at home, so only if we go out.

@Achwheesht Yep, sought help, but never felt ready to change. Intake wise, I have good weeks and bad weeks, and don't suffer with withdrawal symptoms...No children.

I'm pregnant, and have only had half a glass of champagne and two small glasses of wine in the last five months.

Before that, totally sporadic. Could be teetotal for a few weeks, then hammered of a day or two. Mostly around 7 units a week, or a pattern of 0 - 7 - 20 - 0.

I don't miss it on a daily basis though, tbh, and all alcohol substitutes are absolutely cack.

Lifelong non-drinker and too old to change.

I now only drink on the weekends, and usually just the one night but it will be a full bottle of wine or six beers that one night. I’m too tired to workout or eat healthy the following day which puts me off as I’m always dieting.

We usually share a bottle of wine over the weekend plus 1 or 2 G&Ts. A couple of drinks if I’m out one night

Same.

None since I started with cardiac issues last year . Before that, maybe 12-14 units a week.
I rarely miss it now tbh.

I lick a spoon dipped in a sherry trifle ONCE every Boxing Day and that's it.

You should probably talk to someone about that.

Myself and my DH aren’t drinkers, never have been but we are both introverts who grew up in loud families that enjoyed parties and consumed A LOT of alcohol and neither of us enjoyed that kind of environment so it could be a big factor for both of us, we never went clubbing either, we preferred to go to a coffee shop over the pub!

I’m similar to my mum as she never drinks, she doesn’t like alcohol and neither do I much, I can’t stand wine or beer etc, I only like fruity cider or sweet drinks mixed with lemonade, alcohol just doesn’t appeal to me.

None -medical reasons.

Maybe two or three drinks over a month. I don’t like drinking at home as I just fall asleep so I only have a drink if I’m out for dinner or on a nice sunny day out. Most of my friends are in the early foggy baby/breastfeeding years too so I tend to meet them at their homes or a cafe and have a cuppa.

None.

Once or twice in summer I'll buy a vouple of tins of Pimms and water them down with more lemonade.

2-3 bottles a week.

A bottle of prosecco - half on Friday, the other on Saturday. I'll drink it over the course of the evening with dinner.

No more than that because of the calories/health implications, and also because I don't like being hungover.

1 x bottle of prosecco
1 x bottle of wine
3 x cocktails
2 x gins
1 x pint of cider

I'm guessing here as some weeks I see friends and we have cocktails and a couple of bottles of prosecco each. Other weeks I'll only have a couple of bottles of wine across the whole week.

DH works shifts so it's hard to guess, this week our Saturday night will be tomorrow - a Wednesday. Great 🙄
