I asked mine to stop drinking in front of me, as wine made me very jealous and beer smelled awful to me. He decided to give up all alcohol for Lent and lost enough weight that I was VERY close to weighing more than him at the end.
He brews beer and often brings a suitcase when go to a different part of the country to bring back craft beers we can't get here. So that'd be a no. I'm not normally a big drinker, but I do miss the fun drinks of summer...margaritas, cocktails, etc.
Nope. He enjoyed having me as DD. But he did lessen his drinking. I also had a beer or a glass of wine here and there, so I didn't feel totally deprived. I drew my line at hard liquor, so I missed margaritas.
I had the occasional wine throughout pregnancy, so in the balance of stuff-that-seems-unfair-about-pregnancy, the drinking thing was low on my list.
The fact that my DH doesn't have to pee constantly after birthing two children and that he didn't have to go through intensive physical therapy and still have a wrecked lower back makes me want to scream or cry on the regular, though.
Ha, no. I didn't want him to, though. I made him get the beers I wanted to drink so that I could have a taste, even though they weren't his favorite.
When i was pregnant with #1 I craved Stella artois. Baaad. Which is weird because it's a fine beer that I like, but nothing special. I would "gently" encourage him to order it when we were out. I distinctly remember one time about a million weeks in when I was all super fat and crabby as hell and he ordered some nasty ass IPA instead. I was sooo pissed. I'm not sure I even talked to him during dinner. I was pleasant, lol
When I had first tri nausea, I felt like the one thing that would make me feel magical again was a strong margarita (a virgin one would NOT have satisfied this craving). Almost like having the hair of the dog I guess?
The only thing that made me feel a teeny bit better about being his free Uber driver was him taking on litterbox duty 100%. The time he was brutally hungover and it was super ripe and overdue for a cleaning was especially satisfying. Who's gagging now?!
