Re: CPW: How often do you drink?

  • I put SS because pre-PCOS/GF diet it was 2-3 times/week.  Now it's maybe 1 every other month or not at all.

    If I didn't have to worry about it affecting my PCOS, then I would easily be back to 2-3 times a week.  I love my beer and wine.

  • With the way my emotions are going I might be taking up drinking this whole weekend. Otherwise it's maybe 1 or 2x a month. DH isn't a drinker so I only drink if we go out with friends.

    I drink sometimes on holidays or if it is offered at ILs / SILs house.  Very rarely at restaurants.  Almost never at home since DH doesn't drink and I'm not in a place where I can drink an entire bottle of wine by myself before it goes bad. :p

  • I'm like Brij - now that I am on a low carb diet, I don't drink as often as I used to.  My dietitian said one to two glasses of wine once a week is ok, so I try to not do more than that.  I only drink when we go out with friends or have a get together, rarely on a random night.

  • SS - usually a few times a month (6 times maybe?) as long as we are talking a glass of wine or two with/after dinner. All out? Usually never. It's SS because it definitely fluxes with pg announcements!

    Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.
    I've been holding out on GP: I got drunk once and started a blog: Here it is (11/7 update)

  • These kind of polls make me feel like I have a problem.
    Married 2011.
    Baby Boy 2015.
  • I drank a LOT the weekend my grandmother passed. That was at the beginning of March. I haven't had a drink since, and it had been over a month since my last drink at that point. I have two unopened bottles of wine in my fridge, right now (Barefoot Moscato). I'm just not a big drinker. DH would drink a beer or a glass of wine every day, probably more than one, if we had what he liked in the house.
  • Usually a few times a month. That bumps up around the holidays, but on a regular basis it was probably once a week at most.

  • SS for me- not every day, but probably 4-5 nights a week. Max of three drinks, usually craft beer. Sometimes just one a night.

    "I DO NOT love that you think so many things revolve around you.  I know you're bitter.  I get it.  But I'm over your feelings." The best person on the internet ever!
  • We are in the process of selling our house (total nightmare), TTC at the 1 year mark, moving in with my parents, DH starting new job he hates after 3 weeks, and raising a 12 year old, ADHD, strong minded/willed boy without his biological father (passed away tragically).

    So yeah, I drink just about every night. Never to the point of drunkeness, but past the point I would ever consider driving.

  • It used to be a lot more before I started one of my meds, but now I try and limit it to one or two times a week.
