None for health reasons. But you could have one and not three per session. That part’s weird - why not have one martini? Even when I did drink, I had one cocktail. If you are looking to cut back, that part’s easy.

What defines a special occasion these days? How many special occasions per year?


Sounds weirdly judgmental. I’d say it shakes out on average to being one to two occasions per month in which I have one to two drinks. I had a company party once this month and celebrated getting an new job that doubles my pay. Hopefully that’s acceptable to you.

Not sure. I have 2 to 3 a year. What does that work out to?

What's the point of this thread?

And why is someone doubting a poster who replies "zero?"


Perhaps they're drunks who can't stop drinking.

OP just wants to get a sense if their drinking is "normal."

Zero

Recognizing the harmful impact of the carcinogens in alcohol, wine, etc. I essentially gave it up. I only have a drink (usually not even the entire drink) on vacation or at certain social events (wedding, big party, etc.).

Now if only I could go cold turkey on sugar ;0)

I would say over the course of the year, probably 1-2 drinks a week but I don't drink every week. Sometimes I won't have a drink for months but then might end up drinking a few times in a week at another point.

Usually about 6 drinks in a week. And that's down from 2 drinks/night so I actually feel pretty good about it! After a wetter than normal December, I'm kind of excited about dry January.

55 years old; I have a couple of glasses of wine at family holiday dinners 2-3 times yearly - other than that I haven’t consumed alcohol for the last decade.

I tax my liver enough with an on again, off again addiction to sugar, so decided some time ago to eschew alcohol consumption. Also as I got older I found it just made me feel lousy in the aftermath and recovery was taxing.

Usually none but I had almost a dock a day while staying with my inlaws over the holiday

All in, about 10 glasses of wine a month -

I will drink 1-2 glasses of wine at home about twice a month.

I have a glass of wine when I go out to eat, about 2x/month.

Once a month, I go to a wine dinner party and drink 4-5 glasses of wine.
