I'm with you jenny1980. Usually 5 nights a week, 1-2 drinks on weeknights and 2-4 on weekends. We usually wait until the kids are in bed to drink weeknights.
I don't drink at all. I'm not opposed to it, but I've never found anything I actually enjoy. I do drink when I want to get drunk, so once or twice a year? Mainly tailgating.
Probably 1 or 2 glasses of wine a month. Although before I got pregnant this summer I was all about the white wine spritzer and was having maybe 1 or 2 a week. Generally I don't like to drink because 1. I gain weight easily when I do and 2- we have a history of alcoholism in my family so I don't want to tempt anything, so to speak. I've never had a problem stopping drinking entirely so I want to keep it that way if I can.

Sits at jenny1980 's table. The biggest unexpected side effect of DH being on days for the first time in like seven years was we had to find a cheaper wine we like, because we have wine with dinner, and then I like to have a glass of wine on bath night, because DD likes to take long baths, so I sit on the toilet with the lid down and enjoy my wine and gbcn while DH gets DS down. And then of course we'll stay up and have a glass of wine and maybe watch a show. We can't afford to drink the $20 bottle every night...
Umm, when not pregnant, we try to sick to 1-2 drinks, 4 days a week. Sometimes more if there holidays or social stuff. We never have more than 2 drinks in a night though because we can't do hangovers.
I'm pregnant now though so no drinks and, though he still drinks, H cuts way back because we're a team, lol.

Rarely these days. I've probably had 4 drinks in the past year. It used to be more like 4 drinks per month but my body doesn't react well to alcohol anymore. Probably because I'm permanently tired and dehydrated.
How often do you drink and how much? I am just curious and will answer below.
I've never had alcohol. Not religious, moral or health. Just grew up with a alcoholic family and was never interested in starting drinking. My DH has never drank either for similar reasons
Depends...honestly I drink a lot more in summer because I'll drink beer if it's hot. Normally (not warm weather) I'd say 1-4 nights a month. When I drink I tend to drink 3ish. I guess I'm more of a binge drinker...lol. I'm not huge on wine because my H doesn't like it much & I feel like itsmore $.

This is us, right down to gbcning during bath time. We had to stop buying boxes, though. There's no reference point and it was too easy to add a little more to just top off a glass. Then one day you hit the tap and the box is empty and you're like "how did we (okay me) drink an entire box that quickly?!" Not cool - lol. Now we make the pilgrimage across town to the one Trader Joe's that sells alcohol and stock up on Two Buck Chuck.
If my husband is home I drink nightly. When he works nights, I only drink if my kids have been particularly challenging. I enjoy drinking and these answers were starting to make me feel like a lush, but then I saw some people like me finally.
I really miss wine right now... I don't currently drink. DH as an alcoholic who hasn't had a drink in over a year (so freaking proud of him). In support, I don't keep ANY alcohol in the house and I don't drink when we are out together. We just moved, bought a house and had a baby, so I have no friends locally yet to meet up for a drink. I haven't had anything since this past January. When things are normal, I have 1-2 glasses of wine, 3-4 times a month at girls' nights/happy hour.
It really depends. If I have a bottle of wine in the house then I usually drink a glass nightly until it's gone. Same with Bailey's.
If we just have beer or coolers then I might drink one bottle on Friday and/or Saturday, possibly once during the week after a long day.
Dh usually has a beer or two Friday and Saturday nights so we always have beer in the house. I rarely go to the liquor store so wine, coolers and liquors are less frequently available.
We probably drink to get drunk (3 drinks for me) twice a year these days.

Less the older I get.
I'd say on average a drink a week, never during the week unless I'm traveling for work.
On weekends maybe a drink or two on Saturday night. Last night we met friends with the kids for my best friends birthday. I had a beer while getting dressed and a glass of wine at dinner. It's not worth it to me anymore to feel crappy the next day and 3 drinks does that.
