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.

I have always loved a drink but managed to stick to drinking thurs-Sat. I've had weeks and months off at times but this has mostly been linked with trying to lose weight/ exercising and feeling better about myself. However since lockdown that's gone out the window. I've drunk most nights anything from 2 glasses of wine to a bottle, put on all the weight I'd lost, feel awful about myself and I now need to kick the habit.
I am doing DryJanuary.

The odd thing I find is that I can't drink more than 1 glass of wine at home in a single evening but have no trouble drinking several glasses when out with friends.

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.

I'm teetotal but that's because I used to drink too much. Yes I am bloody proud of it. In an alcohol obsessed society I think I've done rather well.

I don't drink

I’m not that interested in drinking so 2 x beers on a Friday and Saturday night and maybe one on a Sunday with dinner. The last time I had more than that in an evening was probably September and I had 4 or 5 cocktails ( proper ones ) with friends.

Two-three drinks once a week

I don't drink. Partner has a few beers very rarely

OK, I'll turn the tide. I drink far too much, prob a bottle a night plus an aperitif.

I can still function well, walk a lot, work, look after my DC and all the rest.

I can afford it and really enjoy it and so meh!

Four big bottles of beer twice a week combined with prosecco and spirits at a weekend.

I had a problem. I've not touched it for six months.

I think it depends whether you can self moderate. I can't.

I’ll have a cocktail or a glass of wine every few weeks. Sometimes I get on a bit of a kick and have one a few days in a row.

Over Christmas we have had a lovely pink Sancerre, a great Petit Chablis, a fab red Bordeaux and a delicious Rasteau.

I also love to cook and eat lovely food and so the two go hand in hand for me.

Its not just about drinking V not drinking IMHO

About the same as you op.

2 bottles of wine a year (one at Christmas and one on my birthday).

I used to be a really big drinker. Kind of - if average about one bottle of wine or a few pints of beer a week? Maybe a few gins? (Either or, not all of those)

Now though I can't seem to drink. I don't know what's happened but every time I drink I either get a horrible headache, fiery heartburn, or I can just feel it "sitting" in my stomach making me unwell.

Which is a shame, I quite liked a drink with my husband.

Maybe 3 shared bottles of bailies over a whole year.

Baileys. Bloody auto correct.

1 bottle over weekend. DH will drink a glass with meal but prefers a bottle of beer. I tend to drink more if I go out and DH turn to drive. I bought a lot of good wine for Xmas but have hardly drunk any of it.

Teetotal for 2 years, now I m a mum because I have a condition that affects my co ordination I can't risk having alcohol again as I d struggle to change a nappy or get him changed quite quickly.

About 60 units a week. I’m doing dry January and last night was my first sober night in a year

2 bottles of wine a week, usually in one hit!

I was a heavy drinker. Could easily polish off a bottle of gin a week and could never leave an open bottle of wine unfinished. I ate well, exercised, etc so got away with it for years but when I turned 40 my anxiety went through the roof so I quit. I feel so much better for it. I'm Irish and from a big drinking family but everyone has pretty much split into two branches - the teetotallers or the alcoholics with only a few managing to walk the moderation line. I decided to join the teetotallers and a year on I'm happy I did. My DP is happy too as he was worried about my drinking.

I drink non-alcoholic ciders or beers or just sparkling water. Non alcoholic wines are shit.

I would love to just be able to sip a small glass of wine with my dinner but unfortunately I just loved getting pissed so that didn't cut it for me.

I have a G & T on a Sunday evening most weeks. I had a Bailey's hot choc and a mulled wine on Xmas Eve. That's about it.

2 bottles a week, it's crept up to 2.5 so I need to get a handle on it again. At the moment though it's hard to deny myself the pleasure when there is so little else to take pleasure from! And God it's nice

Before the pandemic I had maybe 1 small glass of wine a week. Then I had 1-2 glasses per day. Christmas time 2-3 glasses per day. Now back to 1-2 glasses a day. January will be a lean month so I'm going back to 1 glass a week.

Nothing. Haven't had a drink since I became pregnant with my ds ( 15 years ago!)
