How often do you drink?
Just curious. [Poll]
Re: How often do you drink?
This week? Not enough.
In general, we'll go out about once a month. A few years ago it was every weekend. In my college days, it was 4 nights a week. Oh, aging.

I'm probably in the category of 3-4 times a week (however, I am attempting to cut back, would like to lose a few pounds). I'm 26, will be 27 in Sept.
I don't get drunk 3-4 times a week, but I'll have a glass of wine w/ dinner, or a few beers watching my shows.
Now, nothing, but pre-pg I drank about 1-2 times a month. Usually a glass of wine with a nice dinner. Oh, and I'll be 32 on Monday but I've never been a big drinker.
I said 2-3 times a week but I'm somewhere between there and weekends. I'll have a glass of wine after work maybe 1-2 times a week, some weeks none, other weeks I drink the whole bottle. It just depends on how stressful my week is.
On the weekends, we'll often have friends over or go to a friend's house and have a couple beers or whatever, not getting drunk.
About once a month, we probably do something that involves a lot more drinking - a party for someone, a holiday (in my family holiday = big drinking party), a wedding, a football game, etc.
Definitely a change from college, where every night had some reason to drink I think and even a few years ago where we would go to happy hour frequently or go to bars every weekend.

Pre-pg, I would say socially. In our circle that comes out to maybe once every week or two.
I drink 2-3 times a week, mostly on weekends.
My DH drinks 5-6 times a week.
I said socially, but it depends on the day and what we are doing. I have a glass of wine with dinner about once a week, go out to bars about once a month, and every 3-4 months I will get insanely drunk and make an ass of myself. When football season comes, I do this a lot more because we tailgate for lots of games.
I drink on weekends. There's almost always something to celebrate on the weekends, so there's always drinking going on. I've gotten smart about it though (or maybe I just have a higher tolerance??) and haven't been drunk in a long time. Even if there's no specific reason to celebrate, we can always find a good reason to crack a bottle of vino -- i.e. Scrabble.
Every now and then I'll get a wild hair and have a beer mid-week at home, but that's rare because I've somehow convinced myself that one beer will ruin my workout for the next day. Makes total sense, right?! I prefer wine, but I don't drink wine at home because I usually end up wasting a good portion of a bottle. Also, if it's a mid-week rest day then someone usually has the brilliant idea to hit up a happy hour somewhere -- which ALWAYS ruins the next day's workout! Man, I sound like a lush! I'm 26, 27 next month.
I said socially because that's most of it recently. That's usually 2-3 times a month.
Some particularly brutal weeks at work/school, though, I'll have a glass (or bottle) of wine at home.
Ugh, before kids--all the time.
Now, not so much. I just can't handle it anymore! So, rarely. Maybe 1-2 drinks per month, if that.
I have a glass of wine almost every night with dinner and we usually go out for drinks/dinner with friends 2-3 nights a week.

To me, "drinking" and having a beer after work are 2 completely different things. If you consider "drinking" any time I actually consume an alcoholic beverage, I probably "drink" 4-5 times a week.
Every week is different. H and I almost always go out on Friday nights and have more than 3 beers each. If I open a bottle of wine I can almost guarentee that it's not going to have anything in it by the end of the night. I really only consider that I drink once a week.
