How Much Do You & Your Spouse Drink Each Night

Just curious what other people are drinking. My DH has a 6 pack a night or a bottle of wine. This is normal or alot?

Ok I don't to be mean if this is real but is this real? A 6 pack a night!!??

I'm a DW an drink btwn one half to one whole bottle of wine a night.

I think that a bottle of wine or a 6 pack a night is definitely not normal. And not ok.

Interesting. He seems to think I'm a nag and what he drinks is just fine.

Nothing nightly. Maybe one or two drinks on Friday or Saturday. Never seems to be both. I feel too sluggish in the morning from just that. No tolerance these days.

I've never known someone who drank a whole six pack a day (and I know many) who didn't also display other negative behaviors. At the very least, it's a serious drain on your money.

DW here and I drink one glass to two glasses / night.

My friends who are doctors told me that two is definitely correlated with overall negative health outcomes for women. For men, not sure what the # is, but its just slightly more.

I think any more than 2 beers a night is not a good idea for him...

well, DH and I very rarely drink, and when we do it's maybe one or two drinks AFTER my child is in bed and asleep. a whole bottle of wine, or a 6 pack and a bottle of wine is a LOT to drink on a daily basis when you are caring for your children. What happens if there's a fire in your house or something happens to your children and he's unable to assist or drive if need be?

That's definitely too much if it's every night. He may have an issue there.

Definite signs of problem with alcoholism.

That's too much. I have a glass of wine most nights, sometimes 2.

There's not necessarily a one-to-one correlation with alcoholism, but drinking more than three beers a night is definitely asking for health problems. Less than, say, eating Big Mac every day, but still not good for you.

That's a lot.

I have a glass of wine (and a real 5 ounce serving, not a huge glass) maybe 2 nights a week, occasionally I'll have 2.

DH has a drink maybe once or twice a week, a beer maybe twice a week. But never more than one on a weeknight and rarely more than two ever.

OP, did he do this before you married him?
