I have been re-examining my relationship with alcohol this year and am curious to see how much other people are honestly drinking. I was drinking way too much post-covid and stopped cold turkey on 1/15. Since then I have had one glass of wine while out with a girlfriend at dinner and one martini while out with my husband last week.
Before 1/15 my usual was a cocktail after work, a glass of wine while making dinner, a glass of wine with dinner and sometimes another cocktail after dinner (on weekdays) Weekends usually added 1-2 more cocktails. Way too much! How much do you drink and how do you feel about it? |
Sounds like a lot. I rarely drink. Maybe 1/2 glass of wine every few months. |
Probably 20 units a week. I feel that it is too much. I would be fine if it were 10 units a week.
|
2 cocktails each Friday and Saturday night. |
I stopped drinking altogether about a year ago. I rarely drank (after college) and decided it did nothing good for me. I’m very happy to live without alcohol. |
I drink less but not much less than you used to and honestly I feel fine about it? It’s not impacting my life. I NEVER overdrink to the point of getting sloppy or hungover. While I drink more than I should (2-3 is common) I have not experienced any negative effect, to my health, work, relationships, etc. |
I don't drink and haven't for 16+ years. I stopped when I was trying to conceive and never went back to it. |
3-5 a week. But I’m old, in my 20s that would have been per night. |
Maybe half a drink once every 2 months… I only drink at special outings/dinners and even then I don’t drink a lot, I can barely finish one drink |
I try to limit myself to two beers or two glasses of Prosecco on Friday and Saturday nights. After the new year, I started to have a drink in the evening after work, but then I started to feel the pull… so I stopped and now only have something to drink on the weekend. Alcoholism runs in my family, so I’m very conscious of it. |
Not often, but I do plenty of other things I shouldn’t! I had my first drink of the year over the weekend, but I wasn’t doing dry January or anything like that; just haven’t been out in many social situations and we generally only purchase it when we have company. |
I drink one drink maybe twice a month. |
Most weeks just one drink a week. Some weeks two drinks. |
Two glasses of wine a night most nights. One while cooking, one with dinner |
My spouse and I will split a bottle of wine once every week or two. |
