    I drink too often (everynight last week :blushing: )

    So my aim from today is to only drink Fri-Sun so fingers crossed :drinker:

    Who can afford to drink out? I find it way too expensive here in Australia. I drink at home, too much for my liking. I should exchange wine for something stronger. Unfortunately wine is like cordial, almost no effect. Guess I have I high BF% *sigh*

    2 to 3 times a week during term time, usually get through a bottle of wine before going out then a few double vodkas.

    I'm quite good nowadays, I only drink on two occasions....when its snowing & when its not!!

    Alternatively when I am really good I only drink on days with a 'Y' in it...

    I used to but not anymore. It's hard telling a 4 year old who gets up at 6am that mommy has a hangover!:laugh:

    I don't really drink at all. I might have something at Christmas or new year but that's it and only then if I fancy it at the time. I am quite fond of Irish coffee though so sometimes I will have one of those if we have a whiskey cream in the house (normally around... Xmas or NY :bigsmile: )

    I love a good glass of Merlot but I can't drop any weight if I have even one glass a day. I am drinking only water.

    I go out on a bender one or twice a month :)

    Same - well maybe even less than once a month now. I don't track calories on those nights because the MFP database would explode.

    If I have spare calories left with my evening meal, I'll often have wine or beer (normally wine, since I can control the amount more easily!) -- but I'm trying to be good about hitting my targets, so I don't really go out drinking at the moment!

    Calorie wise, I try not to really drink during the week, though it used to be a beer or wine every night with dinner. I still have a few on the weekends.

    I drink every Wednesday night (pool league night), and then either Friday or Saturday nights if I can get a sitter.

    How often do you drink alcohol?

    This is a completely different question than the thread title.

    To answer the title: NEVER! I do not ever "go out drinking."

    How often do I drink alcohol? Occasionally, maybe once twice a month.

    http://getdrunknotfat.com <---huge database of calories in certain brands of alcohol. Includes ABV, a grade for the alcohol, etc.

    Not that there are many quality drinks that you could get wasted on with less than 600 calories. lol

    I was drinking a lot more until I figured out how many calories are likely in that big margarita and then the six pack I had twice a week.

    Yellowtail Moscato is cheap and I actually like it. It's a little over 600 calories for a bottle, but I've only had something to drink once in the last 3 weeks. It's no longer worth it for the calories. I'll factor them in and remove quite a few from earlier in the day.

    It is VERY hard not to eat a lot of food when drunk!

    I only do on rare occasions. When a college buddy comes to visit or a rare beer with dinner.

    Honestly, I feel like I've outgrown that scene. I will go to the bar with my mates or out to the bars with friends... but that is more for the company than because I want to drink.

    At this point, I probably drink once every two months (on average).
