DH does, but he's not a huge drinker. I think I've seen him drunk once, maybe? And then he'll have a beer or two if we're at a wedding or at a party. He doesn't get anything if it's just us out to eat or we're sitting around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309311 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:30:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 309311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will once a week. Not to get drunk. But my DH and I play darts on Thursday nights, and it's always at a bar, so we will get a couple beers throughout the night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309290 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:19:30 +0000 wheres_c 309290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-pregnancy I would generally have a few on the weekends or at dinner out. Obviously now I am not drinking anything and will limit myself to 1 drink unless we have childcare. I never want to be impaired while watching my child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309280 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:16:11 +0000 pinkcupcake 309280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll have an occasional glass of wine or girly-drink (like Cosmo or apple martini) with my dinner, maybe once every 2-3 months?? I haven't really had a drink in over a year since I was pregnant and now nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309277 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:15:37 +0000 hilsy85 309277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! Pre pregnancy, I would have a glass of wine with dinner a few times a week, and we would go out a few times a month and I'd have mixed drinks. I miss the taste of wine! :( DH still drinks regularly--he loooves scotch and often has a glass at home while relaxing. Luckily I can't stand scotch, otherwise I'd be very jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309272 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:10:35 +0000 autumnlove 309272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre baby, I would drink a few times a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309233 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:46:13 +0000 prettylizy 309233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to indulge in a nice cider beer or delicious glass of red wine. In occasional situations I will even get a little tipsy, but now that LO is here I don't get tipsy often at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309211 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:31:59 +0000 Modern Daisy 309211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most days I have a martini when I get home from work and on the weekends I will relax with a drink or two as well. I find it very relaxing, as long as I only have the one drink. Any more than that and I literally pass out on the couch then have a horrible nights sleep and pay for it the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309209 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:29:50 +0000 oahujeni 309209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I got pregnant I drank 1-2x/month, but not to get drunk. Just a daiquiri or fruity drink here and there when out with friends or dinner with DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309207 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:28:33 +0000 chopsuey 309207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely. I'll have a fruity drink a couple times a year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309196 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:21:19 +0000 StrawberryBee 309196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, and I've never been drunk. Maybe once a year I'll nurse a margarita or pina colada. Hubby doesn't really drink either. We were made for each other :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309195 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:21:13 +0000 MamaMoose 309195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not now that I'm preggy.</p> <p>Before that I would have a drink with dinner whenever we went out to eat. And I would have a couple of drinks with girlfriends maybe once a month. But neither hubs nor I are big drinkers at home. Usually just a single glass of wine for me or one beer for him maybe once a week if we had a crappy day at work : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309192 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:19:06 +0000 LAGS 309192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I think my husband's dream job would be working on the brewing side of things. He saw a job ad for a brew master at a microbrewery once and his reaction was priceless.</p> <p>Both my husband and I drink. It's been years since I've been drunk though, I'm an absolute baby when it comes to hangovers. DH drinks more than I do but generally we're a beer with dinner or few beers in an evening type drinkers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309190 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:18:08 +0000 lawbee11 309190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We drink socially. We rarely ever drink at home during the week unless it's a special occasion. But if we're out with friends on the weekend we'll have a couple of drinks. I went to college in New Orleans and can't handle my hangovers like I used to be able to :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309182 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:08:35 +0000 mrs. bird 309182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>occasionally. not as much now that we try not to keep it in the house since DH has a tendency to go overboard =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309176 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:03:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 309176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: He works for one of the largest brewing companies (the one that seems to sponsor everything sports related). He has an engineering degree and has worked in several different areas of the brewery. Currently he is a supervisor in the maintenance department. He really enjoys that area because he gets to use his mechanical engineering background moreso than in any other position. Ultimately he would like to work on the brewing side though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309167 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 07:56:29 +0000 LuLu Mom 309167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we both drink (well not when I'm pregnant of course.) I enjoy beer and wine and an occasional Captian Morgan but only 1-2 time a month. </p> <p>DH drinks more than I do, but I made him cut back significantly when we got together because he used to drink to get drunk &amp; I thought that was something that needed to be left in college not a 30 year old man! I refused to be with someone who couldn't control his alcohol after dealing with an ex-boyfriend with a drinking problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309148 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 07:42:07 +0000 regberadaisy 309148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: how awesome! Which brewery? Once things settle down I want to get my husband started in the brewery business. He's a huge microbrew fan.<br /> What does your husband do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309141 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 07:38:46 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 309141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband works for a brewery and we get the product for free, so we always have beer in our fridge. Our guests drink more of it that we do. I have a beer with dinner maybe once a week. My husband usually has one while watching football games on Saturdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309140 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 07:38:27 +0000 regberadaisy 309140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsaudi: hahah I get sleepy after alcohol too! Especially liqour. I'm usually a beer here or there kinda gal. Every once in a long while I'll have a 7&amp;7. And yes love those strawberry margaritas in the summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309138 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 07:36:28 +0000 heffalump 309138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. It gives me migraines. And DH has crohns so he can't drink either. We sure do belong together :)</p> <p>My ex drank and it bothered me so I knew I didn't want my husband to drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink#post-309132 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 07:29:41 +0000 Springtime 309132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will have a margarita or beer every once on awhile when I feel like it but usually it makes me sleepy! I do not drink to get drunk which DH does ugh </p>
