How much are you drinking?

[Lifestooshort1542]

I have a couple of glasses of wine on a Friday Saturday and Sunday night sometimes I can finish a bottle one night 😬 🤪 It's something to enjoy and look forward to of an evening whilst watching the tv in these current times 🤣
How much alcohol is everyone drinking at the moment? Honestly 😆

Not much. Very small glass of wine once a week. I never was a big drinker. I am pretty strict with alcohol.

Not enough
My biscuit intake has gone up I can’t take the wine calories too

Normally 2 bottles a week over 5 or 6 nights. Though having November off in preparation for a boozy December!

I think I've had a couple of vodka cokes at home during the first lockdown. then some ciders in the garden over the summer when the weather was lovely & had a couple of gins the other night. no real difference to normal imo

None, not since earlier this year. Making up for it with regular codeine and diazepam though as I can't get a physio appointment for my knackered shoulder 🙄

Me and my DH.mostly share 2 bottles of wine a week. Some weeks we'll have a couple of lagers or G&Ts in addition.

G&t or a glass of wine most nights, occasionally two, try and have the odd night off.

More.
Still within guides as I'm a lightweight and a night of drinking is rarely more than a can of cider or pre-mixed can of gin.
But it is more frequent.

I probably sound like an awful alcoholic, but I had 2 bottles of wine last night, and I’m close to finishing a second bottle tonight

I was necking it back at the beginning of the first lockdown, a bottle a night easily. That wasn’t going to end well, so decided to stop altogether. Haven’t had a drink in nearly 7 months.

Very little, alcohol would make me feel down if I drank it regularly.

I drink about a bottle of wine a month.

A bottle a night

Wine

I’ve practically stopped. I live alone and have never really drunk alcohol alone so had none in the first lockdown and haven’t properly restarted.

Now I’m a total lightweight when I go out and wake up too early feeling all dried out even after one drink. I could have lots of water before bed but then I’d need a wee in the night and it would annoy me. I’m rambling now to avoid going to bed which I really should do...

Waaay to much. It shows. I’m a jelly baby!

Too

When I think of the endless drinks and shots I downed in my twenties it makes my head spin, I just can’t handle alcohol anymore. I now have a couple of units a week. The odd time I stretch to 3 in a night I am aware of it the next day - not a full blown hangover but I feel off and sluggish and sleep badly so it’s easy for me to resist it.

I should start a thread asking how much chocolate and cake people are eating as that is my downfall.

I have stopped over lockdown. No fun drinking at home on my own. Actually feel better for it.

Before my husband left it would have been 1.5 litres of rum or gin between us a week.

It's helped not drinking with keeping anxiety in check

@ManualFlusherSnot Slippery slope.

Shared a bottle of mulled white wine over the fire pit after garden fireworks last night it was lovely.

Will have a couple of glasses of red whilst making roast later, after homework.

During week drink various herbal teas in the evening.

Too much

I've nearly got through a litre of gin this week
I never feel hammered. And I only have 2-3 glasses a night but I suppose my measures must be rather generous.
I'm going to try and have a dry week. I know it's not good for me to be drinking like this.
I can easily polish a bottle of wine off in an evening too. It's pretty much unheard of for me to open a bottle and not finish it.

Does anyone else see neighbours glass recycling bin and think, they're just as bad as us!

@frozendaisy I used too ... but then our nice boozy neighbours moved house and the new ones are much more restrained 😭😂

Too answer the OP - we drank far too much in Lockdown 1, it was a party of two every night 😳🤪 . So this time I’m having to stop altogether for November, my wine belly will thank me for it 😇

*to not too - sobriety is ruining my spelling
