I'm all over the place... some weeks/months there'll be none (i gave it up completely at times for TTC) and other times (like the month I actually got pregnant!) I was drinking like every night (FTR that's rare... just a lot of parties and vacations that month!)

I love wine and have 1-2 glasses most nights. DH is less of a lush and joins me a few times a month and likes to be the designated driver. I would choose wine over dessert every time--DH is a sweet tooth.
"beer" (notice the quotes? = Mike's Hard ___. YEAH I LIKE IT. WANNA GO?!) It's really the only thing I can get DH to drink. *-) unless it's... Margaritas. Because tequila is divine.
and then, solo is: Rum + juice. RUMMMMMM. It even has "mmm" in the name wine, but only certain varieties. I am SO picky. Riesling, Cab, pinot noir, Moscato, Malbec, shiraz. Like THAT picky.
I should not read threads like this because I am (wilted) ing everyone who has said "I'm a lush! I have 1-2 drinks a night!" (wilted) (wilted) (wilted)
Omg no wonder I am considered the lush around here! Lol. I just read everyone else's answers. Solidarity with @tambcat !
LOL. I know I don't post much but I was reading these answers and thinking "maybe I need to check out an AA meeting?" And then I saw Tamb's post and yours and now I feel better :beer: :beer:
Probably too much. I like ketel and soda/seltzer. I probably have one a night and a couple weekend nights. We love to drink/entertain. We took out living room/dining room combo and made the smaller room a "bar" room. With a small bar, stools, tv a couple leather chairs, it has come together quite nicely.
Before reading replies, a glass or two of wine a night. When I'm not nursing/have a new born/sleep deprived there are usually bottles had on the weekend.
Maybe like 10 or so a week? On the weekends it's 2-3 drinks a night. On the week day it's none or 1. Sometimes two.
My problem is that I'm such a slow drinker. I intend for more, but I usually pour myself a glass have a third then get lost in a book or movie and have to down it before I head upstairs. 'Cause who wants to waste it?
And I drink around my kid frequently. I sometimes actively look for family friendly festivals so I can have a beer and do something fun with DS. I definitely drink when we all go out to dinner.
Not very often. I'm one of those people who prefer to eat their extra calories.
Not that I don't enjoy having glass of wine, etc., I just prefer using my discretionary calories on sweets/desserts.
Exactly. I can take or leave a glass of wine or a cocktail (though I enjoy both) but if you offer me a brownie or a piece of cake, I'm not going to say no, lol.
it depends. If there is any sort of social thing happening or we are in a restaurant I will always have 1-2 beers, sometimes a third. If we have people over I always drink as well.
It's not so common for me to drink when it's just us at home though I will have a beer or two sometimes.
So I don't know, some weeks only 2-4 drinks, some weeks 10
The majority of my alcohol consumption occurs when my kids are awake. They don't go to bed early so if I wait until they are asleep to drink I'd never get around to it
Having a beer or two really increases my love for them actually. I feel very warm towards them with a slight buzz. Generally having a couple drinks makes me happier in general, so alcohol gets a big thumbs up from me
It's generally better if I don't have more than three drinks though
I really haven't had almost any alcohol since getting pregnant in January. I had bad heartburn (and you know, fetus) when pregnant and the baby has bad reflux so I've been trying to keep that to a minimum.
This is NOT my normal though. The babies have broken me, lol.
