FabSwingers.com forum: How much

Do you drink?

I mean on a normal basis, just at home, not nights out.

Last year, due to personal stuff I drank far too much,

. When I was putting baileys in my 5am coffee I figured I should change things!!

Since January I just have one bottle of wine a week, but the last few weeks it's crept up to 2 bottles. Just on a fri-sat.

I should buy smaller wine glasses than maybe one would suffice?

I don't drink on a regular basis. Only for a night out or special occasion and maybe a couple in the evening on holiday but I can take or leave it.

Very little these days. I drank a bottle of red one night in the week just gone, the most I have since christmas.

I average not even one alcoholic drink a week over the year.

Not always been the case. When I was 18-23 in the military and had little to do in the evenings, everyone went out, 7 nights a week. 200 units a week wouldn't be unheard of.

A bottle of wine can last me 3 nights, however, if I am on a night out with friends I drink far too much. Thankfully that's not too often.

Never get round to drinking at home usually too busy, cupboards are full with untouched bottles of drink.

Save the drinking for a rare night out.

Typically i have 2-3 bottles of red during the week, tend to go to my local fri/sat night but drink craft ale there.

Its not set in stone, some weeks i wont touch a drop.

During lockdown i was sinking a bottle of red every night... habits creep in very easily.

I am the exact same as you OP. I work Monday to Friday and lucky I have control of it to not drink on the so called school nights,but come Friday and Saturday I go through 2 bottles of wine and about half a litre of Gin over those 2 days. I live on my own so ,I just enjoy it I guess while listening to music x

I don't. I've had one alcoholic drink at home since I moved the psycho dwarf out of the house, and that was this week, not alone.

I also don't drink when I go out really, have had 2 occasions in the last 6 months where I have and that'll do me probably til December if at all again this year.

For the past couple of years I drank ever or every other night. Not healthy for my mental state (I was going through a lot)and my body. I gained 2 stone and a tummy.

weekdays 2/3 cans. Weekends. Bottle of wine and cans or rum.

Earlier this year i curbed it. I cut down lots. I might have one or two in the week and a few drink on a Friday or Saturday. I don’t get pissed anymore as I’m passed that.

Don’t let it get out of hand op, and by knowing it already is a good thing. Just cut down. Or share a bottle with a friend, you only have half then

I don't drink regularly but when I do have a binge seems like I've made up for lost time and I'm not d*unk

then simmer down to the odd drink helps to relax occasionally to take the edge off

We only tend to drink on a Thursday eve, Friday and Saturday night. If there is any left we finish the bottle Sunday. If its a special occasion, then will drink at other times.

Like you we have noticed that the amount we are drinking is increasing, instead of 3 bottles we are now on 4.

Not had a Baileys at 5am, unless we are still up from the night before!

Since January I just have one bottle of wine a week, but the last few weeks it's crept up to 2 bottles. Just on a fri-sat.

I mean I'm ok with what I drink. I eat fairly healthy, I workout, sometimes...

I think I should probably go back to just the one bottle a week though.

Plus I actually rarely go out, I had a couple of nights out drinking a month ago and that was the first time in years.

Well we are starting to feel that we may have a problem. We don’t drink on school nights, however, come the weekend we easily get through 6+ bottles of wine (potentially 9) plus cocktails if the sun is shining then shots in the early hours. Hope this makes you feel better Op

I rarely drink at home on my own. It interrupts my sleep pattern and I feel groggy the next day.

Occasionally I'll have a margarita, or, if I'm feeling extravagant, a minin bottle of champagne in the bath if I've had a particularly busy week.

I used to drink a fair bit but when I separated I decided not to drink at home as I thought that drinking alone might not end well. My alcohol intake has plummeted and I now find I actually don’t really like the taste. If I do have a pint or two when I am out then I really feel it the next day.

I’m a binge drinker and will drink all sorts on a night out. Living on my own, lockdown taught me that drinking at home is totally pointless and I’ve knocked that on the head. However I’m currently staying in hotels a lot with work and finding myself having a couple of pints most nights just to fill the time…

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe

If you walked into my house you would think that I have an alcohol problem. There's various spirits, Guinness, a dozen cans of bitter, and 14 bottles of wine.

In reality, I have one bottle of beer on a Friday night, as that has become a tradition in memory of my friend who did so before he passed away, but apart from that I rarely drink at home. I did have a large whisky last night, though.

I need some lady to come and offer to help me drink the wine. I'll provide cake and a good natter in return.
