Hellobee Boards

My relationship with it has been the same for years. I often have a glass or two with dinner, probably 5 nights a week. We pour small glasses though.

we are very close. i drink a small glass of wine with dinner and have another small glass or 2 after dinner, every night. the kids are fully aware of my drinking, and i have explained to LO1 that alcohol is not good for young brains. i mean, probably not that great for mine either, but not as harmful as to a child's brain, obviously.

I used to drink 2 or 3 glasses 2 or 3 times a week. Now I have kids and it just makes me tired so I'd say I average one glass a month? I kind of miss it but not enough to start drinking again.

I misssss wine, lol. At 36 weeks pregnant though I'm starting to take more sips of dh's when he has it. I prefer white though and dh will rarely order it when we're out and we rarely have it at home since dh isn't going to open a bottle on his own. We often have red open from when my dad is over, but that's not as appealing to me

When I'm not pregnant or nursing, I might have a tiny glass a few times a week (I just don't drink much and I'm a light weight). I like it, esp with certain foods but I can live without it...

Once a month at the most and one glass. It is my drink of choice. I do not drink often.

I miss it (36 weeks and change). After the week
I'm having, I may have a few sips this weekend. Its funny, usually I don't drink much, perhaps a glass or two a week. But as forbidden fruit, I miss it.

Pregnancy changed my taste buds. I'll have the occasional mimosa or a glass if we get a bottle with friends at a restaurant.

Now I strongly prefer beer.

I love wine. I have a glass most nights once LO is asleep. It would not feel like a relaxing end of my day to have it during dinner when she is awake and still needs to be put to bed! Actually even if we eat after she goes to bed I still prefer to wait until we've decamped to the couch for the evening.

I have always been a bigger beer drinker but I've gotten really into wine because a) it gives me a more relaxing tiny buzz and b) I like that I can pour a very small glass if I want or a larger glass or go back for a teeny bit more (which I don't usually do) without committing to a whole second beverage. Now I want a glass of wine

I don't really drink. I have no issue with alcohol but don't really enjoy the taste. Also, I would rather use my calories on food I really enjoy!

I was drinking 1-2 glasses a night but I am restricting myself to weekends only for a bit. I have to dance back and forth a little with my relationship to alcohol- it's easy for me to slowly increase the amount I'm drinking. Then I have to scale it back for awhile.

I have a glass or two once or twice a week. Lately it's been a beer because dh and I can't finish a bottle before it goes bad and we both like beer.

@petitenoisette: I agree with all of this! I love beer, but wine just relaxes me so much! I might have a small glass when I'm making dinner, but otherwise I wait until after the kids are in bed and I'm able to snuggle up on the couch under a cozy blanket and relax! I don't mind drinking in front of them, but I really want to savor it, and I can't do that when I'm actively minding them.

@junebugsmama: I'm really comfortable with a drink a night- but now that I drink wine, if there is a wine bottle open it's easy to pour a little more- and then before I know it I'm having 2 glasses a night which is more than I want to have every single night!

@junebugsmama: totally- I do well with setting strict rules for myself (I'm not a total abstinence kind of person) that last for awhile. Like a reset.

I usually pour a glass when I get home everyday ... and get around to drinking it about 3 hours later when DS is done for the night.

My drink of preference is beer! But good beer puts me to sleep and I seem constantly to be on some sort of low carb diet, so I rarely drink unless I have a sitter!

Well considering I'm just over four weeks pregnant wine and I are currently on a break until September... But I do work at a winery so well never be too far apart!

@Mrs. Sketchbook: it'll be worse if I get diagnosed with GD again!
