wine and parents

[Anonymous]

When you have children, how much wine is ok to consume when they are in your care? Kids are 7 and under. Should one drink after they sleep, in the evening? etc...Seriously asking coming from a non drinking family and need perspective.

More than 1 is okay. Uber/taxi and ambulances exist in a true emergency.

Dont both get completely drunk. However many that is for you.

2? 3 maybe if it's a festive occasion with friend in your house?

I'm a small person and 1 glass doesn't even make me feel anything.

DH and I agreed we will never have more than five, combined. So at most, one of us will have three drinks and one of us will have two.

But three is very rare.

I don’t really think about it. I rarely drink during the day because I may need to run out for something at any time. Once we’re settled down for dinner, knowing the kids will have their bedtime soon after, I might have a couple of glasses of wine while I eat. As long as someone isn’t getting soused every night, I don’t really see an issue.

Why do you ask, op?

We don’t have a hard and fast rule, but will check in with the other if we’re going out. At home, we rarely have more than two each, and always with dinner, over time, etc.

I think you need to MYOB unless they both are getting blackout drunk, and I don't even drink.

It's fine to have a drink or three after your kids go to bed, especially if they are sleeping through the night.

This depends on body size, tolerance, and the drink.

Read up on the latest research re: wine consumption. Long-term side-effects far outweigh "benefits". So this really shouldn't even be a question, OP. You can drink responsibly if there's a special event, but drinking regularly is not good for you.

No one asked about the health implications.

Totally depends on the person. I’m comfortable having 4-5 glasses (assuming I’m not driving of course).

It sounds like you are asking about how much to drink at home, with kids, not when you go out and then come home to kids. Correct?
