Only because he travels for work, so he will have a couple drinks with dinner. I don't drink at home by myself. On the weekends I would say we are about even.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206507 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:57:42 +0000 Modern Daisy 206507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alcohol is the one 'bad' thing I allow myself so we are pretty close. He drinks more in volume since he's physically larger, but we drink at the same frequency. I've noticed as I get older though my tolerance is disappearing so I've been cutting back. Like on the weekends I would have a beer during the day then a cocktail or two at night and now I wait until the evening, after a full meal to have my first drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206500 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:54:45 +0000 Sophia 206500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't drink very often at all (less than once a month, probably), but I guess I'd say that I drink more when we do. And we're talking like 3-4 beers, not anything too crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206493 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:51:29 +0000 Arden 206493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206492 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:51:28 +0000 sandy 206492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: My hubby and I used to drink so much when we first met...we were just friends for a long time before we started dating and went out a ton and drank way too much. All of our stories from early on are about acting ridiculous while drunk. Then I think I started think it wasn't a good idea for us both to drink too much...especially when we moved out of the city and drove to most events/parties so I just kind of started drinking less and less and now I hardly ever drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206487 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:46:30 +0000 Running Elley 206487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us drink a lot but he definitely drinks more than I do. He's a beer salesman so he's all about the beer and he likes trying new flavors/brands. He'll have a beer with dinner 3ish days a week probably? Pre-pregnancy I'd drink very occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206484 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:41:38 +0000 mrs. bird 206484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: DH was a frat boy too! I totally think that's where his bringe drinking tendencies (not that he does it right now) come from! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206482 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:37:22 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 206482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us really drink. We will have one beer, here and there, but never more than probably 8 to 10 drinks a year.</p> <p>But when we first started dating, that's another story! We would party like crazy. His mom's very first interaction with me was holding my hair back while I puked. How embarrassing! Needless to say, she didn't think I was gonna be around for long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206460 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:22:38 +0000 prettylizy 206460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does, he's a social drinker, especially with my family! Lol! He stopped over to my parents place for a quick visit after work, and he ended up staying for three beers! I love my wine and sangria in the summer. I cut back on drinking when we were TTC then I got prego, now I'm ebfing so it's been 17 months since I got a good buzz!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206449 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:16:25 +0000 edelweiss 206449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to drink a lot more than he did (having a few glasses of wine in the evening before he came home) but then it settled to about equal amounts when we were both getting home around the same time--about a glass each per night. huh, guess i used to do a lot of drinking by myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206369 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 10:34:55 +0000 HLK208 206369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH drinks more (but not frequently). He'll have a beer maybe once every two weeks. I don't drink...I was pregnant with DS, then breastfed for 13 months, I had about a year break before getting pregnant again and I probably had 5 drinks within that time. I'm breastfeeding again now but I do miss the occasional glass of wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206367 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 10:34:28 +0000 Mrs. Blue 206367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us drink a lot, but I've been tapering back even more lately because of TTC. So, right now, Mr. Blue is the alchy in the family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206356 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 10:29:51 +0000 PBandBaseball 206356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hubs has a beer or two most nights when he gets home from work. I have a drink about once every 2 months. It's just not that appealing to me anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206321 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 10:14:09 +0000 Alivoo01 206321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby for sure! He's been better about taking it easy and learning to say "no" now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206073 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 07:02:12 +0000 mrsjyw 206073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH! :) I've always been a lightweight, so I didn't give him much contest. He's also a former frat boy and was "trained" during college to be a tank (in my opinion). LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206027 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 04:03:41 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 206027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like an alcoholic for saying it's pretty close. Haha! But I think DH does a little more since I'm still breastfeeding and can't always have one on a whim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-206022 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 03:03:42 +0000 autumnlove 206022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205919 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 22:30:57 +0000 singingbee 205919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does. If he isn't working he will have several beers. I've been drinking more this summer since I'm not pregnant anymore. It's mainly margaritas that I'm drinking. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205918 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 22:30:51 +0000 MrsBrewer 205918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH for sure. I don't even enjoy getting drunk or anything. Actually DH is out with his buddies right now! I will enjoy a glass of wine though, only 1 though because I'm actually allergic to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205914 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 22:29:35 +0000 matador84 205914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>considering i'm prego, definitely DH! i am so ready to have a beer! i told him the other night i just want to drink a beer, swish it around in my mouth and then spit it back out! a lot of my friends have been really surprised i haven't had one sip of any alcohol. i'm not an alkie or anything, but i know i will want more where it comes from so i have just not had anything at all! before prego, we probably drank about the same amount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205910 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 22:26:50 +0000 BoogieBea 205910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband drinks more even when I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding. He has a glass of wine or beer almost every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205896 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 22:20:10 +0000 SleepyMonkey 205896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my husband can drink a lot more in quantity but is usually pretty controlled in his behavior. i am known to get quite sloppy on much less alcohol...of course now husband drinks way more than i do. i miss wine a lot =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205844 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:57:53 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 205844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us drink a lot. I say we have a beer a week. It's funny because my husband works for an adult beverage company and we get 2 cases of beer a month. We can never drink that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205841 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:55:37 +0000 mrs. bird 205841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH. We don't keep alcohol in the house anymore, actually there is about half pint left of vodka hidden in the back of the freezer, but shhhhhh don't tell! There have been a few times where it's become more of a habit for DH than either of us are comfortable with, so now we find it's just better to save it for special occasions. And I often find that I don't drink just because now I'm not used to it and it doesn't have the same appeal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205826 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:48:23 +0000 MsLipGloss 205826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre pg? Me, fo sho! But during pregnancy, DH has been to *tons* of happy hours (or maybe I just notice more). I totally don't mind, even if my mouth waters at the thought of a glass of wine or a cocktail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205823 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:47:41 +0000 lilteacherbee 205823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH drinks more because I absolutely hate the taste of alcohol. It takes a lot of time and patience for me to find something I'll actually drink and most of the time, its not even worth it. I've probably had alcohol maybe twice this year and now I'm pregnant, so it will be awhile. DH will have a beer or two maybe once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205816 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:45:57 +0000 chopsuey 205816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does. I'm not a big drinker. He enjoys an occasional beer and likes to order drinks when we eat out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205813 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:45:31 +0000 MamaMoose 205813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us drink a whole lot. We particularly don't tend to drink much at home. We would both usually have one drink if we would go out to dinner. Now that I'm preggers hubs drinks even less frequently and I obviously don't drink at all. But I will say we know how to have a good time at a special occasion like a wedding where we are staying in the hotel and don't have to worry about getting home. : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205803 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:42:24 +0000 Boogs 205803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He drinks more, but neither of us drink much other than the occasional beer at home or at a family gathering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drinks-more-you-or-your-so#post-205792 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:40:12 +0000 mrbee 205792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since Bee has breastfed both of our kids, she barely drinks anything at all, ever. I have a glass of wine or two now and then. But in general, it's just not that fun for me to drink alone.</p> <p>Who drinks more: you or your SO? Was that situation different before you got pregnant and/or had kis? </p>
