I don't really drink. I have a glass of wine every once in a while, but it's rare. But, I also have no life... LOL! :sad:0

I'm pretty well-behaved. I like to have a nice glass of red wine now and then, but it typically averages out to no more than 2-3 glasses per month.0

A bottle of wine every other saturday with my girl friends. Though I think I may re-evaluate since last time I was very drunk on the bottle, I think lowering my calories has lowered my alcohol tolerance and the hangover was hellish :sick:
I have found this in the time I've been on MFP. I'll be warm by the time I finish my first glass of wine. Light beer doesn't affect me as much like that.
I usually have 1 night a week where I have a glass of wine or perhaps a beer. On weekends, I'll usually grab one bottle of wine or a few (2-3) beers. Now tonight, is going to be a bit different. I'm going out to the casino with my brother and mom, so I'll be having 4-5 beers probably. Hopefully not more.
I used to drink every Friday and Saturday night. And that would be 4-5 shots plus 1-2 pitchers of beer each night. Plus food at the bar. Bar food is terrible too. I know I can't drink like that anymore. I'd be holding the floor down.0 -
Good for you Squidles. I admire that. U drink about one glass of wine a year if that. That's one habit I can't afford to start.0

I used to drink before all the time in my 20's then had kiddies and had to take medication where I couldn't drink alcohol so stopped for 10 years started having a few drinks again last year (vodka) but not a big drinker any more last time I drank was beginning of April and we were at a party ????0

I drink a lot less than I did. Used to be on 50 units or more a week.... which is way too much. Put it down to too much stress and unhappiness. Now I have converted a lot of that stress into exercise.
I now drink about 25 units or so a week and always plan for it. I just love beer and music too much to give it up, I refuse.
How about everyone else here?
What's a unit?0 -
I've pretty much cut all alcohol out - partly because I haven't got enough calories to drink them. Th other main reason is I'm recovering from depression and one of my triggers is alcohol. Even 2 glasses of wine can be enough to cause my mood to drop significantly for at least. Day or two.
I dont have to get drunk for it to affect my mood. I'd rather be sober than miserable, so I now drink Becks Blue. Tastes like beer and has less calories. Win, win for me0 -
i used to make 2 to 3 mixed drinks of oj strawberry banana juice with mango and pineapple rum and peach schnapps when i got home from work. i really hated my job. it also tore up my bladder though so now i may have a drink once or twice a week. unless i go out for a birthday or something, then i just drink all night.0

Since I turned 21, I've either been nursing a baby or pregnant. At one point, I was both. I definitely don't drink when I'm pregnant, but when I'm nursing, maybe one drink every three months. If I drink more than that at one time, I pump the milk and throw it away.0

Probably 2 or 3 alcoholic beverages per year, on separate occasions.0

Never been a big drinker, I know how to have fun without being intoxicated and I like to know I won't be doing anything stupid. And alcohol has TONS of calories.
ok I'll shut up now.0 -
I drink a fair bit. Not usually at home alone, that's usually just a little stubbie at about 2.7%, but when the guys are around for rehearsal, it's lager and spirits mostly. Wine if a particular friend is here.
I can and do drink a lot in one go, but over the week, most days are totally or nearly alcohol free. It does mean the staff at the local ask 'are you not drinking today?', but that's ok. They see me most when I am drinking, not the rest of the week, and I'm never drunk to the point of being incapable. Guess that's the nature of the business, though. Drink (and smoking) is normal.
Despite all the recommended levels per day (including a large red wine equating to a binge), the doctor has never been bothered by it - to them, despite this official government stuff, they've seen more damage sustained by people who report drinking less but ever day, rather than my account, which is nothing for most the week, then a lot on gigs. Mind you, they could just be grateful I'm not doing the stereotypical musician thing of hard drugs...0 -
one or two drinks once or twice a year.
I aspire to drink more,when the kids are older and I work less.0 -
ZERO. It is poison. Hodgie x
Moderate drinkers have less health problems and less chance of heart disease than nondrinkers and alcoholics0 -
2 glasses of red wine at dinner. Trying not to have any but I enjoy it. I exercise every day golf also so I do have the extra calories. If I didn't then I probably would cut it out!0

I drink daily. At least 2 beers after work and more on weekends. My mom quit drinking as she had a big problem with it apparently although as a child I did not notice anything different with her. Now she is in residential care with a stroke due to smoking so even though she hasn't drank in over 20 years she still got screwed. I work hard and I play semi hard . **** happens.0

I love craft beers, and wine when I'm in the mood. I drink on average 7-15 units per week.0

Our social group always involves drinks of some sort. Used to be a lot of beer for me almost every night. Since I started working out I found that I could not do the beer and still get up for a run, so I mainly drink vodka with water and lemon. Sometimes a bottle or so of wine. I have still been able to lose weight and get in shape without having to give up my social life.
That being said I have had a few bad situations lately with beer (which due to some life circumstances I have been bad and indulged in beer in recent weeks), I have found that if there is anything bothering me and I have beer I turn into a crying/angry mess so I am trying to stay away from it with varied success/failure.
There is alcoholism on both sides of my family, but I have always found that as long as I am paying attention to my moods and reactions to alcohol I am able to keep it under control. It is different for everyone though.0 -
When I'm not dieting, I'll drink maybe a couple glasses of wine a week whenever I feel like it - more if I'm going out on the weekend. Much more.
But when I'm watching my weight I'll stick to maybe 3 or 4 drinks when I go out, and don't have a drink unless I have to in my spare time (ex. going for a drink with an old friends where it's socially called for). It's hard sometimes when it's something that clues together an occasion.0
