I always thought this meant like once or twice a year MAYBE, and like a glass or two.

Do you drink until you are drunk?

This is what I aspire to and manage -somemost of the time. Had a glass of wine with dinner in a restaurant last night and a couple @ MILS (medicinal) on Saturday. There is no booze in the house so I suspect my next drink will be at a neighbours BBQ weekend after next. So maybe an average of 2 or 3 drinks a week with some weeks not drinking at all. Every night on holiday .

Some mumsnetter seem to have an insatiable appetite to know how much others drink. Is this a thing in real life, as it were? I suppose it's a bit sensitive.

Surely it means someone who only drinks on a night out (however often that is) and never or very rarely at home?

I am a social drinker. I only drink once or twice a month but yes, I do sometimes get drunk.

A social drinker is someone who drinks in company.

I generally go out to Coffee shops with friends these days, but i class myself as a social drinker, so the odd occasion me and friends DO go to a pub, or spend an evening in company at a friends house, i might have a drink.

I rarely have more than one or two drinks, i think christmas day, and my birthday are my 2 exceptions in the year, but its still 'social' drinking because i don't drink home alone.
