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?

Once or twice a week. Usually wine with dinner.

Usually once, twice a month- used to be more often- but I wanted to reduce it.

Varies. I had a drink last night, as it happens (1 measure of spirit and lemonade, in a bar), but I can go for a month between drinks sometimes.
Probably on average I'd say I have about one drink per week - usually a glass of wine.

Friday and Saturday nights only, unless there's a night out or a special occasion. I only ever drink vodka based drinks.

These threads always go the same way with the pious 'I rarely drink' types piling on and the rest of us who like drink staying stchum!

Christmas. Birthday. Special occasions.

I like the taste, I just don't like the way it makes me feel.

At least once a week. I normally have a glass of wine at my grandparents on a Sunday - we go for a roast.

Sometimes I’ll also have a glass of red wine on a Friday/Saturday night but this isn’t really regular.

I’d say over the course of a month, I drink no more than two bottles of red wine total. I never drink to the point I’d be drunk. Even on a night out I wouldn’t ever have more than two alcoholic drinks.

Maybe four times a year, I only ever have alcohol in the house if it’s left over from an occasion, it’s not something I would buy with the shopping. My parents rarely drank and my siblings are the same, we would all choose a cup of tea over alcohol.

The reason btw is I have horrific hangovers. last one was about 4 years ago and I had to have my husband drop my son at my mums for the night after (He was working) as I wasn’t able to care for him properly due to how sick I was being.

Almost every day.

1 or 2 glasses of wine, or a small vodka and tonic and a regular sized can of weak beer.

At the moment, not at all as am pregnant. But previously, usually Friday and Saturday, rarely in the week unless out (which is now rare since having a child)

Usually 3-4 times a week, two double G&T’s or a couple small glasses of wine. I’d like it to be less but I really fancy it if I’ve not had it the previous night.

I have one glass of wine 4 times a week, sometimes 5. A glass is 1/4 of a bottle.

Never, may buy if hosting for friends that drink.

Dislike the health implications and didn’t want the children to associate chilling/having fun with alcohol.

as often as possible

Also 5 or 6 times a year. I do drink more on holidays.

Very rarely. Last had a drink at Christmas, before that it was at a barbecue in August. I have very little tolerance for it these days, and it takes very little to give me a hangover. I got out of the habit when kids were small, and then I had gallstones which meant alcohol made me very ill, also I love to be able to drive home from places. I used to drink much more when I was younger, pre kids, but I don't miss it.

If I'm not going out over the weekend I'll usually have one bottle of wine over Friday/Saturday or a few lagers/ciders.
Sometimes one drink in the week if it's been a crap day.
If I'm going out I tend to go a little bit overboard & always feel so crap the next day. I need to get out of drinking wine as that gives me a massive hangover.

Once

(but I started that drink about 40 years ago and its not finished yet)

About five times a year

Xmas day
Weddings
Maybe once or twice on holiday

@namechangeforthistobehonest, you might find reading through this thread a useful starting point:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/alcohol_support/3781133-Anyone-else-stopping-completely-in-2020

It’s supportive and I’ve found it helpful. It’s still going on a second thread.

Since turning 60, I drink either one glass of wine or one gin and tonic every night.

I am an adult. So, whenever I feel like it and know it won’t impair anything I need to do with the kids, work etc.

Some weeks none at all, some weeks everyday, some days even before lunch.

Really couldn’t care less about what all the do folders say. It doesn’t negatively in map either my life or anyone else’s and ami enjoy it.

Almost never.

Most nights if I'm honest. Only one drink. It just relaxes me.

I don't binge drink very regularly anymore, can't handle the hangovers and prefer to wake up feeling fresh. Excessive drinking will write off a full day or more for me these days.
