Haha. I usually had a couple of glasses of wine a week, but after pregnancy and breastfeeding I've just lost interest. I had some sips of a margarita over vacation but normally 0. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011189 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 00:37:11 +0000 littlejoy 2011189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I hope it goes back to the old days.

Now? I dont have much of a taste for it anymore. A handful of times a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011176 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 00:02:01 +0000 MrsScallop 2011176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-babies I was firmly in the 7+ a week camp, as I usually had one beer or glass of wine a day, and 2 on Friday and/or Saturday. After my first was born, I was closer to 1 a week, then slowly crept up to 3-4 drinks a week depending on her feeding schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011165 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 23:33:37 +0000 littlejoy 2011165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smith: Oh girl! We went to Vegas the month before I conceived, and I think I was more alcohol than water! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011163 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 23:32:53 +0000 littlejoy 2011163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Ha! I voted 7, and then got a bit embarrassed. </p> <p>We usually don't drink M-F, but we'll split a bottle of wine on Friday, do a mixed drink (or two) on Saturday, Mimosas on Sunday morning, and a beer or two on Sunday night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011157 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 23:21:54 +0000 photojane 2011157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't drink pre-baby and still don't drink.

DH isn't a big drinker either, so we rarely drink before or after our son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011135 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 22:40:27 +0000 smith 2011135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're living it up before TTC, so ... probably way too many, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011094 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 22:06:39 +0000 Silva 2011094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one drink a night, and then maybe an extra drink one of the weekend nights, so about 8/week.</p> <p>I am planning to cut back, but for financial reasons! I'm comfortable with the amount that I drink. I do have a child, but the only decrease is that before I'd probably have more than 2 drinks once a week (like, we'd go out to dinner, have a cocktail, and then split a bottle of wine....not up for that anymore!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011093 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 22:06:26 +0000 Torchwood 2011093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a drinking problem, so no drinks here. But I don't miss it at ALL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011052 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 21:48:24 +0000 Mae 2011052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually drink more now than I did before I had a kid lol. But I still don't drink weekly. I might have something once or twice a month now after bed time. Before having a baby I would frequently go several months between having a drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-2011047 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 21:46:08 +0000 SerenaSF 2011047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am currently pregnant but pre-pregnancy I would have 1-3 drinks at least 3 nights a week. It was rare I didn't come home from work and have a glass of wine (or 2) with my husband, and on weekends it was usually more than that . A lot of my social life revolved around meeting friends for drinks at happy hours and weekends spent wine tasting, and this is something I miss dearly. My social life has plummeted being pregnant. I feel very boring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-1987741 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 23:31:12 +0000 ShootingStar 1987741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much only drink around my parents, lol. DH doesn't really like the taste of most alcohol and I can take it or leave it. My parents are big drinkers though (as in wine every night with dinner) so I might have some wine or sangria when I'm around them. My dad makes a really good white wine sangria that even DH likes the taste of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-1987594 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 21:16:04 +0000 cat620 1987594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I had kids, I rarely drank. Maybe 1-2 drinks per month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-1987593 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 21:14:18 +0000 birdofafeather 1987593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre baby and post BFing, probably near the same times per week but after not any of the random drunk nights that I had pre baby. I have wine or beer 4-5 times a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-1987577 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 21:04:36 +0000 Lindsay05 1987577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-6 a week. Depends a lot on how tired my kiddos make me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-1987502 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:54:17 +0000 fairy 1987502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I avg maybe 10 drinks a year lol. Before kids maybe 3 or 4 a month, never a big drinker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-1987461 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:24:10 +0000 BSB 1987461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 1 drink a week but that's an exaggeration. I'll have maybe 1-2 drinks a month, if that. Though, if it's the summer time and you have frozen drinks like pina colada or strawberry daiquiri, I'll definitely have one. Though, I'm a light weight and I prefer not to taste my alcohol. I'll ask that they dilute it more with soda or juice. Haha. I'll sip a white wine but I prefer sweet wines like Moscato.</p> <p>DH on the other hand will have 3-4 beers or more a week. I won't have an issue when I get pregnant. Good thing guys can't get pregnant. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week/page/2#post-1987456 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:20:06 +0000 mkp17 1987456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say my answer is similar to @smurfette and @blackbird...<br /> I tend to have a glass of wine most nights of the week as a way to unwind and a couple on the weekends depending on if we are out with friends or not.<br /> It hasn't changed post kids...just tend to not over-indulge on the weekends as much as I would before babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week#post-1987009 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:51:39 +0000 alohaorchid 1987009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bakinbrownies: I don't think we have ever opened a bottle of wine and not finished it that day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week#post-1987003 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:50:00 +0000 Smurfette 1987003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: With you on this. </p> <p>Heck I can finish a bottle of wine a night easily if we are up late with friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week#post-1986986 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:45:38 +0000 pui 1986986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently about 1 drink a week (I am breastfeeding, so I cut down). I usually would have a drink almost every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week#post-1986946 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:29:28 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1986946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None right now, but even though I only had a glass or 2 of wine per week before pregnancy, I'm really missing it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week#post-1986913 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:23:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1986913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hardly ever. Holidays usually, and sometimes a family event I'll have a beer. But I typically don't buy alcohol because of the expense. Same prior to having a child, and I never went out for drinks because of the cost either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week#post-1986895 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:19:58 +0000 stiletto_mom 1986895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no drinks but I only drink/sip small amounts about once a month or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week#post-1986871 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:15:06 +0000 dc yoga bee 1986871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't drink, so none for me. I may toast for NYE, but I always complain the drink is gross, and order a cherry Dr. Pepper! Such a kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-alcohol-do-you-drink-in-an-average-week#post-1986870 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:14:57 +0000 youboots 1986870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, pre pregnancy 1-3 drinks 3-5 days a week. M and I usually split a bottle of wine. Sometimes more over the weekend. So I guess more than the average here. For sure 7+ a week. Who knows once baby gets here. </p>
