S/O No booze

sessionswedding

That thread got me curious.  How often do you normally drink?  How many drinks do you normally have in a day?  What do you normally drink?

I never drink.  Like, ever.  I have a bottle of wine still sitting in my fridge that my mom sent DH and I on our HM, lol.  When I do drink, which is probably once every couple MONTHS, it's maybe one glass and usually something light and/or fruity.  I don't like the taste of alcohol.  Neither does DH.

I am allergic to most alcohol, so it really has to be worth it for me to drink it. Hardly ever.

I usually only drink on Friday and Saturday nights. Friday I'll have a few glasses of wine or finish the bottle depending on how stressful the week was, and Saturday I'll drink 6-10 beers.

I drink almost every day. On a standard weeknight I'll have 1-3 beers during/after dinner. Normal Friday and Saturday nights, probably 6-8 drinks over the whole night. On a real party day, like last Saturday, I honestly have no idea. A lot!

Right now? Hardly ever. I'm working, volunteering, and going to school full time at night so my life is pretty much non-existant. 

When it's not so crazy (re: not in school), then usually on the weekends. I like to have a glass of wine with dinner or a drink if we go out to eat. Hubby is a straightedge so he never drinks and I always have a DD.

Maybe a glass or two of wine with dinner during the week, and some on Friday and Saturday's. Though because we keep going to this awesome Thai place on Fridays, that the bartender recognizes us, he keeps my wine topped off. To be fair, according to my bill I only ever have one, maybe two glasses, so there's that.

Typically every Friday and Saturday night.

Vodka.

Hubby and I can finish the bottle over the weekend.

We only drink on weekends - Friday, Saturday sometimes Sunday (but not much now that football season is over).  Friday night we will kill two bottles of wine at home.  Saturday is usually cocktails then wine with dinner.

Recently due to some health issues and medications that I am on, I have only been drinking once during the weekend.     Prior to that it was an average of 2-4 days per week of having drinks, usually just one or two drinks on a weekday.    Heavier drinking on a weekend. 

 

I have always been a fan of drinking... so much so that it cost me a bunch of money and a misdemeanor record one time.        I'm a lush, but a better behaved one these days.   

 Over the past few years we have really cut down on the frequency and amounts though, we were both daily drinkers when the H and I first met.   Now I can go a week or two without and it's not a big deal.

I would also like to add that I worked in Liquor and Wine promotions for years and had a steady supply of FREE booze that had to be drank by someone (or get tossed out), so I was merely taking advantage of the situation and didn't have to buy booze on a daily basis.

This. I can drink like vodkas and SOME wines. But that's it.

I'd consider myself a social drinker. When I'm with people I'll drink around 4-6 mixed drinks depending on if were celebrating or not and if I'm the DD or not.. I drink on very rare occasions at home by myself or with H. I do hang out with Mary about every day to make up for it.

Most days.  I'll have a rum and diet (usually two) after dinner while I'm watching tv about every other weeknight.  We go out with our friends every Thursday to a local bar that has 75 cent wells, so I have between 2 and 5 those nights.  Weekends, I'm usually hanging out with friends and sipping beer or wine, and I'll usually have 3-6 of those.

Duffinger

Pretty much everyday.  We have a Kegerator and I need to justify the cost of it by using it. 

I'm cutting back during the week, but I'm not beating myself up if I have a beer or two.  I'm in the middle of month end close, so I'm sure I'll visit the keg at least once tonight.  I figure that I lead an otherwise healthy lifestyle, so I'll enjoy some booze.

ETA:  I'll drink anything that comes out of a bottle.  And I've even had rum out of a box (from Columbia).   But typically, I'm a beer girl from day to day.

I'll drink Friday and Saturday nights with the occasional Sunday. Probably every other Sunday. I occasionally drink during the week, but very rarely. 

As far as quantity, it varies. Sometimes it's a bottle - a bottle and a half of wine, plus I might have started with a vodka redbull. Sometimes it's a *** ton of beers. I lose count, I mean, I don't keep count.  

Wine Enthusiast

I typically open a bottle of red and randomly drink a glass throughout the week.  I don't always finish it.  Drinking varies on the weekend depending on what we are doing but I often have like 3-5 drinks on a weekend day.

lattelover

I used to drink like 3-5 times a week. However, I am now on medication that I am not supposed to drink while taking because of how hard it is on my liver. So this past weekend, where I cannot remember what I drank, I didn't take my medication for a couple days (since my rationale was I didn't want to over work my liver). So that brings up the whole, Ugh, I can't function thing. So let's just say I rarely drink anymore because I value my mobility.

I drink on Friday & Saturday and sometimes I'll have a glass of wine or two during the week depending on the occasion.

shorty20

I get drunk once or twice a year and I'll have a couple of casual drinks maybe 4 or 5 times a year.  The hubs and I aren't big drinkers.  Sometimes I do have a beer if I've had a bad day, but I really have to be in the mood for it.

Now in college, man I was a freaking lush.

This whole thread makes me want a drink.

I drink almost every night. During the week, I drink 1 glass (2 if it's been a rough day) of red wine while cooking dinner/eating dinner. On Friday-Sunday, it's probably more like 3-4 glasses of wine over the course of the night. I will say that I rarely drink so much that I ever get falling down wasted.

I am setting an intention to cut back this spring to no drinking Mon-Thurs, but we'll see how that goes. I'm never successful at this.
