Alcohol usage

[acarpediem]

I drink wine every night. I have adapted well to the French living!

[2dumbdogs]

I picked 2-4 nights a week. I Will have a beer while out walking or after bedtime. More than one drink At a time though? That is maybe twice a month. I have no tolerance anymore, either for the alcohol or the calories.

I am that house that always has an open bottle of wine. Come on in, friends.

I like your house and I have turned into that house

Daily when DH is gone, a couple times a month otherwise. I averaged it to weekly.

I am kind of a francophile. I have read quite a few books detailing travels through France or memoirs about Aussies, Brits, Americans etc. moving there and starting their own vineyard or restoring a farm house. 

Every book makes me thirsty for wine. I could happily live in Provence and smell lavender, drink red wine, and use olive oil on everything. Like, I want to live in one of Peter Mayle's memoirs.

I average 4-5 nights a week. It gets me through the bath and bed routine.

[microworm]

I have a beer while getting dinner ready. Sometimes on the weekend I'll have 2 bottles.

It's to keep up my supply, I swear.

[angelashly]

I may do a bottle tonight

[sarahdawn]

I chose 2-4 nights per wk. Either wine or beer. My h drinks less, he'll have a beer or 2 maybe once every 2 weeks?

Probably 4-5 weeks, 1 or 2 glasses of wine a night. Only on a special occasion (or a really shitty day) am I going for more than that, and I always regret it the next morning.

[Deleted]

When I feel like it.

Sometimes that's several times a week and sometimes that's not at all.

I have learned not to drink when I'm down. It never ends well and just brings me more grief the next morning.

[jorkzy]

I said monthly but really it's rarely. I feel crappy often enough without hangovers and as little as 1-2 drinks can cause one for me. I go through phases of trying a bit of wine nightly but then it falls off. I drink at weddings and stuff though.

[goldenbird]

2-4 times per week. I try to stay closer to the 2.

[joy]

If my migraines were controlled, then I'd have a glass of wine daily.

Currently, I'm more like weekly.

[shemarie82]

I would love to have a drink a couple times a week but I am so damn tired all the time that I normally just go to bed instead. Whomp whomp.

[readyornot]

I voted SS, bc I'll usually have a couple beers with the guys I bowl with, but outside of that I almost never drink. So while it's weekly now, in a few weeks when my leauge is over it'll go back to once or twice a year

[moosemom]

I usually have 2 glasses of wine on Friday, Saturday and Taco Tuesday nights. I get headaches if I drink more than 2 glasses and I don't cocktail much except for margaritas in the summer.

[seadragon2013]

Right now, none.

Normally, 1-2 nights per week, 1-2 drinks per night. When I'm not knocked up, we budget for a bottle of cheapish wine per week and a six pack EOW.

[JustinBobby]

I chose never, let's just say alcohol is not my drug of choice.

[ghostmonkey]

For a while it was daily. Now it's reserved for weekends except for special occasions.

[goldenbird]

I want to start the drinking thread and call it 'Friday's Alcohol Usage' or sumshit.

I bought a box of Prohibition Red today because of this thread. And also because wine.

I hope you didn't get a box from my lot. I bought and opened a box 2 weeks ago. The spout drips, even though it's fully closed. I've kept it laid down and been drinking it faster than usual. Just something to watch for.

[weeklyplanner]

I voted 2-4 nights a week. Currently nursing a 4 week old, so it's only one drink or maybe two if I've just pumped and dh is giving a bottle and it will be a few hours before she needs the boob again.

Let's just say, I'm anxiously awaiting her to STTN so I can drink more than 2 drinks at a time.

[lucilleaustero]

Anyone try the Dreaming Tree Cab?

I will totally admit to buying it just because it is Dave Matthew's wine. Now, should I have that or Bell's Two Hearted tonight?

I've never had that happen but if it does I'll drink it really fast and then take it back to the store for a refund

Lol!!
I got home and had a bit of a mess to clean up. I was like, well, at least I have wine to drink in my anger.

Look for the 19 Crimes winery if you like that one. It's my new obsession.

@juliagulia, I also love a drink while cooking. It makes me feel like an enjoyable and relaxing activity rather than a chore.

I'm mostly a wine and beer person but once in a while in the winter I really like a milk and kaluha if I am lazy and a Paralyzer if I am feeling ambitious.
