FabSwingers.com forum: Alcohol how much do you drink

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I sometimes consider I drink too much even if just a beer or couple of glasses of wine a night

How much do you drink and do you feel it is okay or too much

I carried out an online drinks test and here are the results;

You sco_ed 14 out of 40, which indicates your drinking is: Increasing Risk

For Increasing Risk scores we recommend you cut down your drinking. See below for some help with doing that.

You are drinking 6.5 units on a typical drinking day.

You are consuming 452 calories from these units.

The government advises that men and women do not drink more than 14 units per week, with at least two days alcohol free. The daily calorie limit for a man is 2500

what are your _iews on drink and how much do you drink a day / a week?

I rarely drink at home (only when I have visitors, or have some beer left over from a holiday), but when I go out, woo hoo, watch out.

So most days I drink zero units, but sometimes I can get into double figures easily.

For me it would come to an average of maybe 1 bottle of beer per 2 months. I only drink for social reasons and the last time I had alcohol was in January

Rarely. I have a couple around Christmas and on nights out, which are very rare now. I did have a couple of brandy and lemonades a few weeks ago,which I enjoyed. I could go months before I have another drink.

right up until New Years Eve last year I would have classed myself a moderate to heavy drinker...

then I did dry January, where I didn't touch a drop...

it loosely carried on into February and March and now April..and tbh I don't miss it at all. I have had the odd glass of wine to be sociable but these days it doesn't even taste that great so I'd rather leave it..

I've also lost weight and my skin is a lot clearer too

Generally very little, we can both go months without a drink, will occaisionally have a glass of two of wine or a few beers.

But will go a bit crazy once in awhile normally with work and drink Sambucca and Jagerbombs and pretty much whatever's going - but think I might be growing out of that now

I probably drink 3 to 4 nights a week and will have a bottle of _ed wine each night or maybe 3 ciders depending on the mood. I rarely go out but if i do i will have between 5 and 8 pints of cider. Do i consider this too much. Possibly. But i eat relatively healthy, go thw gym from time to time and have a fairly active job. I also dont drink for february every year (as its the shortest month

)

I'm going through my second teenage phase. Out out with my bitches at least once a week.

When we go out out, I drink like a thirsty fish. It's not big, hard nor clever but hey. Tis my money and my liver. Plenty of time to calm down amd grow up...right?

I've had plenty of experience staying in and not drinking. I've got a happier outlook now.

I think some swingers have selective memory when it comes to their alcohol intake.

Many don't see it as socially acceptable to admit to having too many once in a while. This especially applies to the middle and upper classes in my experience.

I used to drink like a fish personally but I cut down a lot but still way above any recommended guidelines. They are just guidelines and you should be able to control your own intake, we are all different.

Why is it only swingers who have selective memory? I think it's people in general I know I drink too much I'm not going to sugar coat it, I know why I drink too much and the event that caused me to increase my alcohol intake..I've cut back as all I seem to get is people taking the piss out of me because I was d*unk...I don't want to be known as _isscheekychops the one you meet pissed on a Saturday night..

Never met my father, he died an alcoholic. My step-brother is an alcoholic and his mum died an alcoholic too!

So I rarely get pissed. When I do it's usually by accident but that's always the best way.

I probably drink the equivalent to 4 beers a week but sometimes more, often less.

Ever asked a non-drinker why they don’t drink?

Same fucking answer every time. You go, why don’t you drink? And they go, I don’t like the taste of it.

Nobody does. No one likes the taste of it, but we drink because we fucking have to.

No one has ever had a shot of tequila and gone, oh, that’s lovely. Next time, I’ll have that instead of pudding, it’s so moreish.

We drink because life’s shit and you gotta do whatever you can to get through the fucking day. Now, I honestly didn’t mean to time it like that. That’s like a magic trick, isn’t it? I’ve decided I’m going to punch people in their head if they say the next sentence.

I encourage you to do the same because they think they are better than you.

Anyone who says the sentence, I don’t need to drink or take drugs to have a good time, I’m high on life.....Punch that cunt in the head till your hand breaks. Just – Really? Well, I’m angry on alcohol.

There isn't often when there's too much blood in my alcohol stream.

I'm actually trying to reign it in a bit. I fancy dabbling with clean living for a while.

"If you don’t drink, you are a boring cunt and all your stories suck. All your stories end the same way with, and then I got home. No one gives a shit that you’ve been promoted at work and no one gives a fuck that your kids don’t have bruises."

I've found its the people who needs to drink to have a good time are the boring cunts, I work with loads of them.

I can only really drink bitter shandies and it's not through choice, I get the piss taken out of me but my health matters a lot more to me than people's opinion.

"Ever asked a non-drinker why they don’t drink?

Same fucking answer every time. You go, why don’t you drink? And they go, I don’t like the taste of it.

Nobody does. No one likes the taste of it, but we drink because we fucking have to.

No one has ever had a shot of tequila and gone, oh, that’s lovely. Next time, I’ll have that instead of pudding, it’s so moreish.

I encourage you to do the same because they think they are better than you.

I don't drink alcohol because I don't like the taste, I don't do drugs because I'm high on life. There happy? If you need alcohol or drugs to have fun in life, good for you but not everyone does.

If your life stories are defined by the amount of alcohol or drugs you consume then in my opinion you're more boring than anyone else in comparison.

People are fine to not drink, and if you judge someone for not drinking then you're an arsehole. It's actually a great lifestyle choice and if you can enjoy yourself without it then congrats.

However if you don't drink and judge someone for drinking. You too are also an arsehole.

"I cannot enjoy myself so consequently so I drink excessively. "

I like to get pissed occasionally, but can and do enjoy myself without alcoholic intervention.

Excessive drinking achieves absolutely fuck all apart from causing problems to your body.

As regards anyone having a problem, then that's up to them to decide surely?

You're right it doesn't. It's a toxin, and it's likely a hangover is your body failing to break down alcohol completely. So even in the short term it's not good for your body.

Yet a large majority use it and many even use it excessively. Anyone can decide they have a problem with this, as is their right. But people enjoy it, and I think it's in poor taste to bash on things people enjoy in the same way that it's wrong to criticise someones personal beliefs or other life choices.

Sometimes I can have 2 or the bottles of real Ale a night on my days off, other times I can go weeks without a drink.

Only drink at weekend,

Weekends start on Thursdays tho don't they? And Monday and Tuesday's are the end of the weekend aren't they?

I fucking hate Wednesdays

Seriously the govt guidelines are a bit made up, it varies but at least two days of zero alcohol a week minimum.

You don't need to be pissed to have fun.

Don't drink because you're down it won't work.

If the after effects interfere with life cut back.

Right it's midday somewhere in the world where's the Stella

I have just came back to this tread and read most of it; not sure if I am impressed or very surprised with so few who enjoy a drink

I don't drink for a full 2 weeks out of 5 (as I work offshore)

but I do enjoy a drink and my local is genuinely very similar to the "Cheers" bar, where all are locals, each and every one is fun and enjoyable in their own way and tend to sit at the same place on bar

If I am on a USA road trip, finding a good bar ensures you always find good conversation too

again im surprised of how few on here enjoy a beverage

still; I will have a drink for you

Cheers

I don't have much except if I go out on the town when I admit I sometimes have too much. The hangovers are getting worse as I get older so I should probably cut back

Generally, very little - hangovers and kids don;t work.

Specifically, quite a bit recently. But then I've been hanging out with my alcoholic nest friend.

You'd think I'd learn.

Far too much!

I'm having a little detox at the moment which to be honest is a little dull!

If the majority on this thread are right then I clearly must be extremely boring!

I don't feel the need to get shit faced every night - but I like a glass or 2 of wine in the evening to make everything I do seem just that little bit more exciting!

But I'm going for 90 days of no drinking at the moment.

I'm on

day 6 .... not that I'm counting or anything!

I like to binge drink, no point in drinking alcohol if you are not having a wild time, and no point in counting if you are.
