Not every night because sometimes I run out.

No. In your shoes, say I open a bottle on Friday: I'd drink it over Friday, Saturday, Sunday. If only two nights, I'd have two glasses Friday and Saturday each and chuck the remainder.

NP: If we open a red, it almost always ends up in the compost by the end of the week. But a bottle of white will keep for a week in my opinion.

I would be worthless at work if I drank nightly

I usually don't, but when I do, my pour is 2 ounces of white. Would that make you worthless at work the next day? Heck, I could drink that AT work and be fine.

Not every night, but it's not unusual for me to have a glass with dinner. It's a nice way to wind down after a very busy day. (I get up to work out at 5:00, work a full day, coach several youth sports and have a lot of responsibilities. Being able to have a glass means my work is done.)

Mostly out but sometimes at home too if I have company or a bad day at work. I won't finish a bottle myself so at a restaurant I order a glass of wine unless I have someone to share a bottle with. DH is a beer guy so he seldom drinks wine.

No. Maybe two glasses per week - one Friday night and one Saturday night. But sometimes it's only half a glass before I switch to water.

"But the French do it" isn't really a way to figure out if you're an alchie.

No, and it is super tacky

So every night and probably every lunch is NOT a problem of alcoholism? I kind of think it is.

So judgy. According to people on this thread, virtually all French, Italian and Spanish, among other, adults are alcoholics who cannot function the next day . . . as others have noted, sigh.

During the summer I drink 5-7 nights a week.

Weeknight I split a bottle with my H.

During Fall I drink 4 nights a week. F/sat Sunday football and a random happy hour or wine with dinner.

Winter I hibernate.

Only a glass weekend evenings.

Every night. Lunch too.
