Nope! I wouldn't have wanted him to- it meant I could have a sip of his beer with my wings when we went out!

He doesn't drink so it wasn't an issue, but I wouldn't have expected him to. Everyone else drinks around me and it is fine. My mom served alcohol at my baby shower! haha

No, I don't expect my husband to give up booze. I'm really not much of a drinker anyway, so it isn't too much for me to give it up completely. I'm used to others drinking around me, anyway

He didn't abstain but he isn't much of a drinker anyway. I'm the drinker in our relationship. He did cut back, though. He only went drinking twice: once on a vacation without me and once on his birthday.

Nope. He's offered to give up drinking both times - but I wouldn't want him to. I appreciate the gesture, but it doesn't help me for him to give it up
Last time I was pregnant I would occasionally have a small sip of his beer if we were out to eat during the third trimester (it was a long, hot summer!)

Nope! I actually asked him to drink a beer most nights because I loooved the smell of it when I was pregnant. I would sit and sniff his beer like a coke fiend.

Nope - We're pretty regular drinkers and he offered to (though I don't think it was serious) and I said no...but I should have said no to brewing beer in the house - He literally drove me out of the house at 9+ weeks pregnant because the brewing smelled so terrible to me! He felt so bad afterwards!

nope, but he did cut down. he was only a social drinker anyway and i didn't buy beer or wine often when i was pregnant, so he didn't either. i would have wine later in my pregnancy though, so he had it then too.

No, he offered but I told him it wasn't an issue. I also didn't abstain totally either, I'm a big believer in moderation in all things.

He drank more than ever while I was pregnant because they were his "last months of freedom" It made me mad a lot. At the time we were only spending usually 2 nights a week together because of my work schedule so I felt like he could just drink on the nights I was gone. But he ended up gaining like 20-25lbs while I was pregnant from celebrating his "last months of freedom" so that made me feel a little better

Nope, I don't drink much to begin with though so it isn't like it bothers me. Coffee however... it smells horrible to me now I keep joking he needs to give it up, but frankly I think our marriage would suffer if he was forced to give that up!

No, I didn't see the point. Him not drinking doesn't change that I can't.

@yoursilverlining: totally agree. I don't really drink, so it's hard for me to really understand. But I wouldn't have asked my husband to give it up for no reason.

Nope. He has a really stressful job so denying him a beer on a stressful day would probably be impossible.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
He did not! I wouldn't want us both to have to suffer anyways!
pomelo / 5524 posts
Nope! He did ask me if it bothered me and would apologize for opening a beer in front of me in the beginning. I started yelling at him for apologizing. It's not like he was bragging about being able to do it while I couldn't. I think that would bother me. I encouraged him to drink more when we were out since he had a default DD!

haha, no. I wouldn't have expected him to. We don't drink much these days anymore, but if we went out sometimes he would order a drink like once a week.
