How often do you drink alcohol?

[Poptart4]

I drink 4 nights a week.

Sometimes I'll have just 1 or 2 drinks to unwind after a long day, sometimes abit more (weekends).

Just curious to see where I stand compared to everyone else?

Christmas, special occasions. Other than that not very much.
I used to drink a lot more, but age has done me a favour in that respect and I can’t really tolerate it anymore.

It varies. Over Christmas (which is all of Dec through to most of January ) it’s quite a lot - a glass or two of bailey’s most evenings, maybe a glass of brandy or whiskey as well, by which I mean a double, perhaps a Yuletide cocktail. Wine with dinner a few times a week.

Summer we might have a gin & tonic or two in the evenings.

Right now we’re generally keeping it to weekends (usually anywhere from half a bottle to a bottle each over two nights), although we also have hot chocolate with a double shot of amaretto several times a week, anywhere from 3-5 times.

Some weeks we have nothing at all, and this can be for several weeks at a time.

Every night. I have a very high tolerance and I'd have to drink until nearly morning to get drunk, and I never get hangovers.
Usually I'll have a bottle of wine, or spirits with mixers.

Never. I don't drink calories, and I have never liked alcohol much anyway.

Twice a week, no more than 6 units a week.
If I’m on holiday then nearly every evening.

Very rarely. Last time was about a month ago, I had a couple of glasses of wine on a night out.

Once a year, if that

Teetotal, have been for over 3 years.

Once a month if that

Pregnant so never at the moment. In the 5 years before my pregnancy maybe twice a year, a cocktail each occasion. Can't stand alcohol calories or taste really.

Pretty much always on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. It might only be one glass on a Sunday but it makes the week ahead look a bit better! Then the rest of the week depends on if there’s any wine open and if I’ve had a particularly shit day.

Once every couple of months

Never now. Like runningonempty84 I used to drink and completely normalised it. I would have a few glasses of wine or G&Ts every weekend, without fail, more in the holidays. I thought I was fine on that amount and not really affecting my life/health, but I am emphatically say I feel 100% better without it and actually enjoy my life so much more. One of best decisions I've ever made, although I do recognise it is hard in our booze centric society. I would have been horrified at the idea of being teetotal a few years ago .

Once or twice a month. Used to be more but I like being teetotal most of the time as I feel much better in myself.

At the minute around 4 times a week, 1-2 drinks.

Very rarely have a blow out. I am baby free tonight and DH wants to go out, so I'll have a fair few more tonight woo

Special occasions only now. Used to drink a lot but I don’t anymore and best thing I’ve done

Have to say we are also finding that we say no far more often now - we are both over forty and we really feel it if we have even one drink more than we really should. And to be fair I said we have hot chocolate with amaretto several times a week but thinking we actually haven’t had any this week.

*thinking about it...

Once every couple of months if I go out then just a couple of drinks. Never drink in house. Never drunk a lot but not teetotal. Forms at drs etc don’t seem to understand my level
of drinking.

Every day which according to MNers makes me an alcoholic which I am not. I can go without but choose not to. A couple of years ago I had a fall and was in hospital for several weeks, didn't even think about alcohol, let alone have a craving for it.

Friday and Saturday nights. If I'm at home I'll have 2 or 3 spirit and mixers, if I'm out it's more. I don't drink wine. I never drink midweek.

Friday and Saturday we are super hardcore drinkers. Nothing else during the week or Sunday.

Very rarely. I had 3 alcoholic drinks last year. I live in the middle of nowhere and have a young child, I like to know that I can drive if I need to. I don't miss drinking as I quite enjoy non alcoholic wine and Seedlip cocktails they serve in the village pub.

Once a week, Friday night. Will usually drink a bottle of wine.

If we are going somewhere Saturday then sometimes Saturday also.

Very rarely. I have the occasional gin and tonic in the summer.
