How much do you drink honestly?

[JC17fj74]

Interested to hear how much people drink being honest.
I have been having 4 bottles of wine a week during the Christmas period and run up.
Prior to that I will have 2/3 glasses of wine 4/5 times a week.

1.5 bottles a week (share a bottle with DH Friday, sat and sun) plus the odd beer mid week if I feel like it.

I want to cut down as it’s costing a fair amount, but there’s not much else to do in n the weekends!

Far too much , but will be cutting back considerably from Monday

About half a bottle of wine most nights at the moment.

Some weeks I may have 3 gins or a bottle of wine over about 3 days but most weeks I don't bother at all. My exH was an alcoholic although he would never admit it and it has put me right off.

Far too much at the moment! Easily a bottle of wine and a couple of g&t's. But usually I don't drink during the week and then only one night of the weekend. Am considering dry January as I need to detox but I just poured a glass of wine so have failed already!

These threads never work. You won't get a straight answer because those who drink don't want to tell you but those who are tee total love to tell you they don't drink.

If you don't drink anything it's not really applicable to the question!

I usuly drink 2 bottles over the weekend but nothing at the moment as pregnant.

This is so true 😂 What's the point in coming on here to write 'nothing' 🙄

I only drink on special occasions and at Christmas. Given the year we've had I can probably count on my hands how many drinks I've had this year. Most of them in the last fortnight.

Teetotal since 2003

A lot recently, had at least a couple most days in December. Before December it would be a few over the weekend.

About 3 bottles of wine a week I reckon. More over Christmas.
I had a dry 6 weeks in September/early October. Going to do the same in Jan/Feb.

It honestly varies from month to month. In summer I like fruity ciders and usually share a bottle with dp most days. In winter I like a glass of white wine with dinner but never drink more than a bottle every few weeks. I've drunk more over Christmas, probably a glass a night of sloe gin, prosecco, ginger wine, that kind of thing, in the evening with some cake. Some times a glass of regular wine with dinner as well. Once the festive booze is finished it'll probably be a few months before I drink again. Dp very rarely drinks and I don't like drinking alone. We also couldn't really afford to buy alcohol more frequently. I'm also a tremendous light weight and get hungover very easily. My children are very young and I'm a SAHM so I just can't afford to feel tired and ill in the mornings. I like the taste of alcohol though, I used to drink a lot more when I was younger.

Usually ill buy about 2 bottles of wine a month. Each bottle lasts me a week. Drank a bit (lot) more over xmas but ill be going back to my usual now its over.

Nothing. Not teetotal, just don't like it much. Would rather have a cup of tea.

The tee totals rush onto these threads. Not sure you’ll get many accurate answers from everyone else.

I'm not teetotal, I just don't like alcohol very much. I might occasionally have a glass of wine if I go out for a meal (so not at all at the moment!!) but that'll be it. I don't tolerate it well.

Honestly, life is so shit at the moment that a glass of wine is the only pleasure really.

Teetotal for twenty plus years. I don’t like the taste or hangovers.

One glass or so, every other week. Sometimes a glass a week. Over the Christmas break a bit more- sometimes a glass a day.
I have other vices- I need to cut down on aerated beverages- my consumption of Sprite is not good at all. And I could in general eat a lot more healthily...

Between half and a full bottle of wine a week.

Very little - I was a raver in my youth and that turned me off booze and onto weed, LSD and MDMA - but I am 50 now and 100% sober! I occasionally partake in an exotic cocktail - after I discovered drugs, I found alcohol incredibly boring plus it causes weight gain, bad skin, violence and sex whilst pissed is the worst.

Not very ‘British’ I know 🍹

Probably on an average week maybe bottle and a half a week obvs more over Xmas period ! Don’t know why those who don’t drink feel the need to respond - don’t think that was really the point of this thread!!

I used to have a glass wine nearly every weeknight and a couple of G&Ts on the weekend. Even though it technically wasn’t a huge amount I felt dependent on having a drink everyday, so in November I decided to stop drinking on weeknights and I felt a lot better for it. Gone to pot a bit over Christmas put picking it up again next week. It is so easy to pour a glass of wine to signal the end of the day, especially when working from home and with all the other stresses at the minute.

Normally 1/2 bottles a week. Over Xmas I have completely over indulged with my wine consumption & with that goes increased food consumption so I’m doing dry jan. I’ll be honest though, as we’ve not been able to go out much I’ve been enjoying having a glass of wine early evening watching tv which is something I don’t usually do but I’m drawing the line now. I even poured some wine away this morning so I wasn’t tempted to finish it off.

I can easily polish off a bottle of wine in one evening, but not more than once a week. Last night I had 2 margaritas, half a bottle of prosecco and a couple of glasses of champagne. Bit of a hangover this morning! Tonight we've finished the champagne and had a glass of cider. I feel really "done" with alcohol now and will leave it for the rest of January.

I have a high tolerance to alcohol and have the ability to drink too much, too often, but the consequences aren't fun. Puffy face, weight gain, terrible sleep. Not really worth it. (Plus I have expensive wine tastes so it would be too expensive to form a habit)
