I'll have a glass of wine here or there but that's about it. I like to drink a beer in the summer on the boat but haven't for the last couple of years because of being pregnant & breastfeeding. cupcakemama on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81997 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 20:13:58 +0000 cupcakemama 81997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to enjoy a glass of wine 1 or 2 nights a week. While nursing I had the odd glass, maybe a couple of times a month.( LO slept through consistently fairly early on).

I've read that dark beer especially helps your supply - and I love dark beer! I rarely finish a bottle these days, though - DH usually finishes the last few sips for me. anbanan15 on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81673 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:20:15 +0000 anbanan15 81673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I cannot remember the last time I had alcohol. I think somewhere around 4-5 years ago! I'm not a fan and have a hard time tolerating it anyway, so I usually avoid drinking. yoursilverlining on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81517 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:08:17 +0000 yoursilverlining 81517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My husband and I both drank (he still drinks) pretty much every night. Just a glass or 2 of wine over the course of the evening, nothing too crazy. On the weekends, we would also usually have cocktails. I miss wine. And cocktails. tequiero21 on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81461 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:36:09 +0000 tequiero21 81461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ never been a big drinker. but i'd love a nice glass of sangria. mynoahbear on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81458 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:33:24 +0000 mynoahbear 81458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I haven't had a drink in two years.

While it's something I can't control, I hate turning beet red after a few sips of anything. :( Becksabee on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81393 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:49:15 +0000 Becksabee 81393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I haven't drank since before I got pregnant!

Otherwise it is extremely rare that we drink at home!

We'd love to drink wine or beer every night, but we try to keep the toll on our bank account, our waistlines, and our livers under control.

I've heard that they have created some sort of strips that you put a little breastmilk on and it'll tell you if there is alcohol present. Maybe with those you could have a glass once in a while? winniebee on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81068 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:29:46 +0000 winniebee 81068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pre-pregnancy I had a glass of wine or beer at night - during the week a few nights and on Friday and Saturday (so maybe four nights a week?) Oh, how I miss it!!! chopsuey on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81066 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:28:52 +0000 chopsuey 81066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All this alcohol talk has got me wanting some!

I hate the taste of alcohol, so I have to find something really fruity that covers it up. My favorite is the Wallaby Darned at Outback. mediagirl on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81062 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:28:05 +0000 mediagirl 81062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to have a beer or two a night, 3-4 times a week. I just enjoyed the taste of it. Opening a bottle of wine just for me was too much of a pain. I don't really miss it right now but I bet I will when our LO is here and nursing!! heffalump on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-81055 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:25:54 +0000 heffalump 81055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never.

I am breastfeeding, and I do enjoy one beer or glass of wine each evening, right after pumping, and wait 2-3 hours after I finish to pump again. I read that beer helps milk production, so I think it is good for LO that I have my nightly beverage :) chopsuey on "How often do you drink alcohol?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-drink-alcohol#post-80893 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:38:03 +0000 chopsuey 80893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm not a big drinker.. maybe I'll have 1/2 a drink a year..

I've been pregnant or breastfeeding most of the past 3 years. I had about a 5 month break in between where I did drink. I can't even bring myself to have one drink and then breastfeed Olive because I feel too guilty! One day when I wean I suppose..... then I'm going to have my nightly glass of wine! How often do you drink?
