...and how much is your weekly alcohol bill?

[scoobysnax]

no lying!

Average of £40 per week for 2 of us. that's at home drinking only.

It depends if i stay in or not. £15 if i stay in. (a box of wine )

Pre-parenthood our bill was over £100/wk for 2 of us - since Jan 1st it is under £5/wk!!!

Close to zero. We never drink. DH drinks in the pub I think, but I never really do. Especially not now I am pregnant. Pre-children is a different story. Bottle of wine a night...

I guess it must be something like £80 on average. That is scary.

Currently about £2 a week for at home drinking. Normally (ie when I'm not pregnant) about £5 a week. Don't go out much either. Just that DH drinks very little. I will normally have a bottle of wine at a weekend.

Well we get through at least 1 bottle a night, every night, but it's a bit more like a bottle and a half tbh. I try not to spend more than about £3-£5 a bottle so what's that... ohhh, actually don't think I want to put that out there in print!!!

ooo...at home drinking only about 4 bottles of wine per week ( on av 4.50 per bottle) = £18, plus about £6 worth of beer max (DH)and 1/4 bottle of wiskey = £3, therefore total of £27
Oh my god thats over £100 a month....

god! 100 quid a week!!!
I would be going to alcohol anaonymous ig that was me

afiver if that

Between £3 and £5

Thinking about starting a new thread on why we never have any cash when we always come out low on the spending threads (food, drink etc) and average plus on the income side.

We buy boxes of "quality" wines from the bulk discounters, Laithwaites, that kind of thing. But the wine is SO nice, I can't happily drink cheap stuff any more!! Even still, we don't drink much, I think the last £80 order (24 bottles) lasted us 14 months? Plus occasional bottles of cider or going to the pub, but can't be more than £2/week.

DH has probably one bottle of wine a week so around £4-5 a week.

Does anyone know if any of the supermarkets stock Singha beer or beer chang?

That was £100 per month Lady Codworth....

not for scooby tho

Well I have £30 worth of red wine bottles sitting on top of the tumble drier waiting for the recycling fairy to come and do her stuff. That must be about 4-5 weeks' worth.
Would be more if wasn't BF

Do you not worry about drinking when responisble for your children? I am not being judgemental, just curious. I have had so many experiences with children needing me at night and also had to rush off to hospital a few times with them. I am really worried about being drunk (or even tipsy) and not in control. Do you not worry about that?

DH and i have had a few rows when he's been left to look after DD on his own only for me to come back and find him wrecked. most notably when she was about 2 weeks old. Generally i have a few drinks and he gets wasted. He has a particularly high tolerance as well so it takes serios amounts for him to get in that state. TBH I feel as if I'm always ok so it's not really a problem (except that I can't sleep in the same room as DH!). DH thinks i'm too uptight though.

Was very freaked out by acquaintances who smoked dope from 10 a.m., around their kids though.

We have a bottle of wine between us 3 nights a week and usually two on fridays @ £5 per bottle oh no £3.50 as we bought this lot in france so that's £17.50

Plus one night a week we usually have spirits so maybe £3?

2 nights a week we don't drink (boo today and tomorrow)

Though we usually go out 1 night a week and sometimes drink a lot more.

£20 per week, not bad.

Though we do

no fairymum
never get out of control or have more than 2 small glasses
What a saint

Only a 2 glasses per evening...so,no don't worry...

About 25 pounds a week, mostly on wine but hope to be pregnant soon so will stop
I am never out of control !

Quite low, around £10 - £15 a week. I don't drink really so that is just 3 bottles of wine for DH which are drunk at the weekend (he doesn't drink during the week). If I do drink then we have a fairly well stocked spirits cabinet so I'll have one or 2 vodkas out of there per week, that's it really.
