How often do you drink alcohol?

[Anonymous]

Newish teetotaler here. I haven't had any alcohol in a decade. Family history of alcoholism. It's a real buzz kill to drink and worry whether the drink you're knocking back will be the one to lead you to alcoholism. Also helps that I take an anti-depressant and alcohol is contraindicated.

A WOMAN HIGH ON DRINK AND DRUGS WHO STOLE A PASSENGER FERRY AND CRASHED INTO BOATS SHOUTING “I’M JACK SPARROW” HAS BEEN JAILED.
Reckless Alison Whelan, 51, was on a two-day bender when she climbed onto the moored 100-seater Dart Princess in Dartmouth, Devon.

Whelan was so drunk on Lambrini she dialled 999 and officers raced to the scene – but she then unmoored the 45ft vessel and started drifting away.

HAHAHAHA...this woman's name is Reckless?? What did people expect her to do?!

As for the question, at least 1 a day.

2-4, generally only on weekends. In the summer I may have a beer during the week, on a warm night on the patio.

What do your liver enzymes look like?

This shouldn't be enough to affect anyone's liver enzymes.

I usually have 1 (sometimes 2) glasses of wine a night. Once a month or so if I'm out, I may have 3-4. Very, very occasionally I'll drink more than that and pay for it dearly the next morning.

IMO I think people are drinking more frequently, but in smaller amounts per sitting. The uptick in microbrews, small-batch liquor, affordable good wine, etc. has made people more interested in trying new things.

Are you kidding me? Of course it is. My guess is her ALT is in the 60s.

Me, too.

Right now none as I'm pregnant, but normally, 1-2 a week.

Pfft. Just had a normal liver function test come back. I think a lot of people overestimate the resilience of the human body.

This exactly. Never thought this could be a possibility back in my 20's when I had more like 4-5 drinks 3 times a week.
