I'm curious to know how many drinks fellow bees have a day/week? I'm more interested in the childless bees, only because I can relate more.
***I went searching and only saw the topic for gold members.
-
Totally depends on the week. I might go a couple of weeks without a single drink, but then I'll attend an event and have quite a few. I just went and bottled 30 bottles of wine, so with that temptation in the house we will go through a bottle a week, probably. Plus there is rum and eggnog... I tend to partake a bit more around the holidays
We don't have kids yet! Since you asked
-
@Synchronicity: Hahaha...funny you mention the wine bottling. I just finally finished the last of our 30 bottles of homebrew last week! It is super tempting having it at your fingertips
-
I drink less than one drink per week. It's usually a glass of wine or a cocktail if I go out. I don't drink much at home.
-
@bakinbrownies: Definitely dangerous, especially since I really enjoy this one! I'm going to have to start giving it away to get it out of the house
-
Not much. Maybe 1-3 drinks per month. Some months I may have none and some I may have 5 (like now around the holidays)....really depends.
-
@bakinbrownies: one or two a week, and many weeks none at all...
More importantly, your user name and pic are making me want brownies...
-
When I was childless it was more than 7 a week. Usually 1-2/night, and then an extra couple over the weekend.
Now with 2 kids, it's more like... none
-
We don't have kids and we have 1-3 drinks about 4 days per week.
-
None I dont drink
-
I have a small glass of wine with dinner 3-4 nights per week. On rare occasions, I'll have 2 glasses of wine at dinner. For context, we have 2 LOs and I'm still nursing the youngest one.
-
I drink when I go out, but not at home, so it varies.
-
It hasn't changed since I had J. 1-3 drinks a week, some weeks none.
I rarely drink at home. DH doesn't drink at all, so I almost never open a bottle of wine in the house.
I go out 1 or 2 times a week and will have a drink while out to lunch or dinner. -
Hardly ever. I had two sips of wine at dinner on Sunday. I think the last drink I had might have been June?
The older I have gotten the less I drank. I can't recover like I could when I was 25.
-
None in an average week - I don't really drink. I think the last drink I had was before LO was conceived, and she's 2!
-
before LO, i would probably have 1-2 glasses of wine per night. now that i have LO...actually it is the same. i have some at dinner and another glass after he goes down for bed.
-
I voted for what I drank pre-pregnancy and said 3-6 drinks: usually 1 or 2 drinks on Friday and Saturday with dinner, then another glass of wine or two some other time during the week.
But right now it's zero because I'm pregnant -
I rarely drink at home, except if we're having people over, and I'll have maybe 1-3 drinks when I go out. We don't have kids.
-
Before and after E, while not pregnant, I probably have a drink...4-5 nights a week? A glass of wine or a beer with dinner. More during the summer than the winter. I voted 3-6, but sometimes, it could easily be 7 because I could easily have 2-3 beers a day on a weekend if we're lazing around the pool or go out to dinner or a BBQ with Dh's family....I have a couple beers in the afternoon and a glass of wine that night.
I feel like I drink more than the average HB-er, but not more than an average person in general.
-
One or two drinks a year.
-
I don't drink much at all, ever.
-
Before we had kids, I was definitely on the 7+ a week. After DS was born, I would only drink on the weekends since I was trying to cut out excess calories. Now, I'm pregnant again so it's rare to say the least. I miss wine.
-
On average, I have one glass of wine with dinner or after the kids have gone to bed, 3-4 nights per week. There is just something so relaxing about sipping a glass of red in front of the fireplace whilst unwinding with DH. I only have one glass though except on very special occasions when DH and I may split a bottle between us (usually at a nice dinner out).
-
I have between 3 - 6 drinks a week. Although, it really depends on the week! Sometimes nothing, sometimes more. I like wine and beer with dinner. As another pp said, it's a lot more frequent in the summer! BBQ and Beer! Always! haha
-
I'm definitely in the 7+ category. I'll usually try really hard not to have a drink during the week because 1 glass usually turns into a bottle real quick LOL. I usually will drink Fri/Sat/Sun.
-
1-2 drinks per year.
-
Right now, none with pregnancy. When I'm not pregnant, it's not much like one or two a week, usually at home after LO is in bed. When we go out, it's a couple at most. I just don't drink much.
-
Before and after kids, none.
-
@blackbird: you're right, that amount sounds pretty standard for me and my family and friends.
-
I usually have a beer or a glass of wine with dinner ~3 nights per week...sometimes a bit more, sometimes none at all, it just depends. It hasn't changed that significantly since having DD, though I went out occasionally and had a few drinks back then and I don't do that much anymore.
-
I will have a glass of wine while making dinner, it lasts while eating dinner as well. Then I'll usually pour another glass after they are all asleep. It's my way of relaxing.
I also feel like I drink more than the average HB'er, but not more than the average.
Also we drink more in the summer, yay BBQ's -
@bakinbrownies: Also in the 7+ category. I like to drink beer on the weekends, so I do. I am childless so far. LOL My parent's drink beer on the weekends too, so I'm sure I'd continue after having a kid (or two). (not while pregnant of course).
-
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.
-
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!
-
I voted no drinks but I only drink/sip small amounts about once a month or so.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Currently about 1 drink a week (I am breastfeeding, so I cut down). I usually would have a drink almost every night.
-
@blackbird: With you on this.
Heck I can finish a bottle of wine a night easily if we are up late with friends.
-
@bakinbrownies: I don't think we have ever opened a bottle of wine and not finished it that day
