Clicky Poll about drinking

iHeartHimMore

Just something I've been wondering about lately.

Bonus points for commenting and saying whether it's beer, wine or liquor that you most often drink at home.

I usually have a small glass of wine every night with dinner.  Generally only 3-4 oz.

massagegirly

I will have a glass of wine or a beer with dinner! Sometimes two! 

Edit- 1-2 times a week  

Zista

OK, drinking "nearly every night" sounds awful!  But I usually just have a beer or wine with dinner after the boy goes to bed.

Me too!

I voted once or twice a week. I usually have a glass of wine or a beer with dinner at least one night over the weekend and sometimes during the week if we have a bottle of wine open or have friends over.

 *This answer is obviously for when I'm not pregnant.

This. Sometimes 2 glasses of wine. I'm not getting wasted every night.

If I open a bottle of wine, I will have some each night until the bottle is gone.   I work for a brewery and drink less beer now than I ever have before. 

 

N ruined my tolerance for hard stuff.

My answers would have been totally different pre-kids.

I'm definitely a beer girl. DH and I love checking out local breweries. In the Fall/Winter I'm once or twice a week, but when the weather gets nicer (whenever that may be) my consumption ramps up to more like every day. I like to have a beer while I'm cooking dinner or while DH is grilling.

I used to drink at least once or twice a week and was a member of a wine club.  Since I've had kids, my mirgraines have become much worse, so drinking is a very rare occurrence for me.

I'm in the definate minority - I've never had alcohol.  Not because I'm morally or religiously opposed - I've just never been at all interested.  And I don't judge other people for drinking (see: not morally or religiously opposed )

I really wanted to click on "Can't stop. I can never have enough blood in my alcohol system." But I refrained.

We enjoy wine a couple times a week. Only, we drink the whole bottle. I can't just have one glass.

mishquiche

I actually haven't had a drink since about a month before my BFP, but when I did drink it was usually once or twice a month.  I don't like beer, so it would be a mixed drink or a glass of wine.

You forgot "Not as Often as I Should"

This. If I *remember* to buy wine I drink more often. My DH barely drinks and calls me a lush (jokingly)...but I hadn't had a drink the last 2 weeks because I kept forgetting to buy some. So I guess I don't have a drinking problem sheer laziness can't sure! LOL. I really seem to want it with Chinese and Italian food especially. I don't usually drink beer at home because I *love* draught microbrews, and it just isn't the same out of a bottle for me.

I voted "Once or Twice a month" but would like to say that with breastfeeding, and having to pump at around 2am, makes it hard to relax and have a drink.  When we are done breastfeeding it will probably be more like "Once or Twice a week."  DH and I like to enjoy and adult beverage on a Friday or Saturday night when he doesn't have to worry about work.

 And I am not a big wine drinker.  I like one with my bubble bath or an occasional dessert.  And I really don't like beer.  I like my alcohol hard thankyouverymuch.  =P

WatchPot

far too often is my answer:  We have a kegerator and open at least 1 bottle of wine a week.  We normaly finish the bottle in 1 or 2 nights though.  1 glass (at least) with dinner and another before bed. 

 I do drink a lot less than he does though with the whole TTC thing going on.  And I'm now officialy off booze hopefully for a very long time. 

MissLauraQ

Me - a glass of Wine - or a Fancy Margartia, once or twice a week

Rod - a few beers almost every night - unless he ran out of Booze

PS - My answers are also different pre-kids.  Before Kids I hardly drank ever - after kids, I feel like I want a drink everynight

MrsH_08

I answered holidays and special occasions.  (When not pregnant, of course) I have a drink less than once/month.  DH is about the same.  We have 1-2 drinks at parties with friends, or maybe once every couple of months at home.  It's pretty rare for us to think of drinking at home, alone. 

We both prefer mixed drinks.  I don't drink wine and DH doesn't drink beer.  He prefers sweet wines, if at all.  I used to drink beer, but the bubbles bother me too much.  So, we both pretty much stick with mixed drinks.

The funny thing is I've been wanting a beer for the last 2 weeks.  I haven't had one in YEARS, so it's such a random craving (and not so baby-safe). :-)

iHeartHimMore

I used to drink at home a lot more than I do now.  Back in the day we would have people over for dinner once a week (if not more) but now it's more like once a month (if not less).  DH is much more likely to grab a drink (usually a beer) at home than I am.  We always have wine in the house, but I'd gotten to a point where I rarely think about opening a bottle if it's just the two of us.  In the last couple weeks, that's changed and I've been thinking about it more - thus the question.  

ATT&BTT

I'm not drinking at all right now since I am nursing.  (I just find it easy not to drink that figure out how much I can or pump & dump). But before pregnancy I was a wine cooler or skinny pirate (diet coke & Captain Morgan rum) every once in a while gal or while camping. lol. I am a little weight so I don't drink much because I don't often want to get drunk. *shrug* My DH loves his beer.  He is is a beer snob but as cut back to once a month because of empty calories.

newmommy74

I definitely enjoy a red wine or two throughout the week! I keep saying to myself I won't have one but then I know I am kidding myself and pop a bottle open for DH & I to have.

Here in Australia just about all our wine bottles are screw tops now so it makes it even easier to open & drink them!!!!! 

MrsAmyB

I sometimes have a glass of wine after dinner and after the kids go down.  As for driiiinking, it's occasional these days...

JRS72206

A few times a week, mostly on the weekends if we have plans.

ChubbyCheekiesMom

At home maybe 1-2 times a month usually Wine or beer.  Not a big drinker and am definitely more of a social drinker.

I drink a glass of wine sometimes two about 3 nights a week. The older I get the more it gives me a headache and it isn't really worth it, anymore. When we have people over in the summer for BBQ's I tend to have a few beers throughout the course of the day. DH drinks beer at home. When my inlaws are here our consumption goes up significantly. Hummm...wonder why?

This!  I probably open a bottle every month and a half or so.  I miss my hard earned tolerance....

I'm late in the game but since it's slow thought I would answer anyways...

I voted for the 1-2 times a month. Lately, we hardly ever drink! DH has been getting migraines very frequently and seems to be after even having a glass of wine with dinner. So we haven't been having any. Now he tastes wine for work all day, so we have up to a dozen bottles open in any given week...he just dumps them down the drain. Unless it was really good, then we will have one with dinner. He is a wine snob too, so he will not drink it if it's been open for a day. Rarely I should say.

I love beer and as it gets nicer, we will have more of that. Hard stuff we never have anymore (again migraines) although we have a TON of it in the house.

Massagegirly, I should drop off all his open, one glass poured samples on your door! I always hate for it to go to waste. I used to bring them to work when I worked with other people.....they loved it! Lol
