Drinks Per Week

[twotrue]

:drink: and :beer:

On average, how many drinks a week do you have? Do you have one after work? Just on Friday/Saturday? None at all?

[Duchess1]

Zero. I have never had a drink. I had a few sips of champagne at our wedding but that's it.

I said none at all. But isn't because I don't drink - it is because I can go a month or more without having a drink. I rarely drink when we go out since we are typically eating a casual kid friendly meal and I hate paying $$$ drink prices. I go out every other month or so with co-workers for happy hour and have a few drinks. I love happy hour!

When I do drink at home I tend have a beer at home while grilling.

So apparently I'm the board lush

That said, I probably have an 'after-work' drink 2 days a week and then 1 or 2 drinks if we go out on the weekend. Of course some weeks may be more and others could be none.

I said 1-3 a week, but this takes into account the fact that I am ttc and also my social life got all messed up when my work banished (er, promoted...) me from Manhattan last fall. Probably end up at hh about once every two weeks now, and drink 1-3. Sometimes drink a bottle of champagne w/ DW on the weekend, and pretty much always have wine and/or after dinner drinks if we're with my family. If we have friends over we'll usually get wine or beer and then we'll drink the leftovers.

I voted 1-3, although that isn't realistic right now w/ the babies being so young. I love cocktails and almost always have one when we go to a nice restaurant for dinner; I also love beer and usually have a 6-pack of something local in the fridge. But Jen doesn't drink at all and it's not quite as much fun to drink alone, so I almost never have more than a few a week (and then, one at a time).

Not a big fan of wine; just doesn't seem worth the effort to me

I said 1-3. On my own I actually never drink because it's not always that easy on my stomach, but we end up with either work events or social engagements a few times a week where there is drinking. It usually goes like this. Clickerish drinks one drink. Someone pours her another. E drinks the other and her own and pretends that Clickerish actually drank it. E has a much higher tolerance than I do, thank goodness. Teamwork!

I used to drink a couple of times a week until I met Carol. She doesn't drink so I dropped to maybe a handful of drinks a year.

After my liver went bad after having Annie I now can't drink at all. I miss it sometimes though.

I wasnt quite sure how to vote. There are plenty of weeks it is 0 (especially lately since I've been wanting to avoid the sugar). But, its also not rare for me to have three or four drinks in a week (a couple when we go out and a couple glasses of wine at home with dinner). And if I'm hanging out with my in-laws there is always a glass of wine in hand (hmm, that sounds bad, lol).

[bluedaisyus]

I wasn't sure either, but I voted 1-3. I often go a few weeks without any drinks at all, but just as often I will have a few drinks over the weekend, with dinner or after the boy goes to bed, and if we go to a party or something I'm likely to have more--although that depends on which of us is the DD. At the same time, I haven't been drinking too much lately because of TTC.

TwoTrue - you aren't the board lush...I think I may be. I have a couple of drinks in the evenings probably 2-3 days a week. On weekends, in the evenings, same thing. Unless we have a get together that starts during the day. Then I might get an early start.

I read all the responses of none or almost never and I was like wow...I guess I just like to drink. Plus...and I'm sad to even have to admit this...but I have just started my pre-menopause time in my life. I have more anxiety and am a little crazy these days. I started taking a supplement that does help a lot but the cocktails also help.

So alas....I like to drink. :drink: :Y:

[quinny]

Two, maybe we should meet up for a drink I voted 4-6 but that varies by the week. I really like the taste of beer so I will have one, most nights, once N is in bed.

[tdm]

I have a glass of wine with dinner. What can I say - I'm Italian.
