[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t really drink. For me that means that I often go 2-3 weeks without consuming any alcohol. I drink a single glass of wine at dinner or a single cocktail when out with friends. I will have 1 beer at a work happy hour.  I would estimate I drink 2-10 alcoholic beverages per month.

I drink when it compliments a nice meal or when I have a chance to drink something I really enjoy and savor it. I don’t ever drink “because I had a hard day” or to “let loose”. I can have fun or enjoy taking to people without alcohol. I can manage my stress without alcohol. [/quote]
What?  10 drinks in a month makes you a moderate drinker.  You absolutely drink, even if it's not a daily habit.[/quote]

When I say I don't "really" drink it means I normally don't drink.  I want to leave the door open for the occasional holiday cocktail.  If you say 'I don't drink' it sounds harsh and judgy,, and opens you up to criticism if you do decide to take the glass of champagne at the wedding or the eggnog or whatever.[/quote]
