How much do you drink - be honest

[Anonymous]

Wow, 4 drinks every weeknight and 6+ on the weekend is a lot. Good for you for cutting back. I have a maybe 3 oz pour of wine every Friday when I get home and that’s it. I work out 5x a week and drinking the night before trashes my workouts, plus it just bloats you and makes you feel like crud. There’s no real benefit so I don’t do it. I’m sure you’ll feel way better overall cutting back as much as you have.

About 10-20 drinks in a year.

Right now looks like im running though 3L every three days. And that's being conservative. I know I want to drink to a point of just falling asleep. But I can't. I always wake back up

But never more than two in an evening and often none at all.

This is me too. I’m a social drinker & even then it’s rarely more than 1. I never drink alone.

Like 2 a month? I never/almost never drink at home in the evenings.

Prob a glass of wine a week. Sometimes none. Stage 1 BC last May and now it just doesn’t make me feel great with hormones.

around 3 drinks a night every night.
But..I get up a 345 for a 5 am workout 5 days a week and work full time at a sr level job with a commute.

I have maybe 4-8 alcoholic beverages per month. I drank a lot more than that during COVID.

When you start talking about your “relationship” with alcohol, it’s time to cut way back, or stop completely.

NP. Have you tried different sleep aids? Alcohol is actually terrible for sleep. I encourage you to ask your doctor about this. I’m sorry you are struggling.

What do you mean “but”? One has nothing to do with the other. There are very high functioning alcoholics as well as teetotalers who can’t find their way out of a paper bag.

Martini and 2 glasses of wine 4x a week.

Give or take a day or 2.

I feel fine, I’m 50

I did dry January. Nothing really changed.

One or two times a year I’ll drink more like brunch with a Bloody Mary and a beer then also drink at dinner time.

Typically, I probably average 6 glasses of wine a month. It depends on how social I am. I almost never drink at home. I will have a glass or two if we go out to dinner or I have a social engagement, but rarely more than that.

I only drink socially. So depends on the week and month. Can go weeks with no drink. When I do drink socially it’s typically max 2 drinks in an evening. Once in a while if it’s a very long night it could get to 3 drinks over the course of the evening.

I do enjoy a drink. I don’t at all like feeling drunk and make sure it never happens.

I’ve gone through time periods where I have a drink on a weeknight when cooking etc. Drinking alone. I’m much better off in every way when I’m not doing this.

Rarely. 1-2 glasses of white wine every 6-8 weeks. I have pretty bad migraines so had to stop. Cannot drink red at all.
