    By the time I got pregnant I had given up my hard drinking ways, so it is not a big deal for H to continue to drink, doesn't make me jealous.

    My H has been talking a big game about quitting but he definitely hasn't. He's cut back, though. I keep telling him it's okay! I love fall/winter beers so one of us should enjoy them!

    My boyfriend maybe has a beer every couple of weeks. Never really drank much anyway.

    My husband has cut back, but he was cutting back anyway due to his cancer. There are studies that indicate that cutting back on alcohol can increase his liver's resistance to the cancer metastasizing there. If it wasn't for that, he'd probably be drinking normally. As of now, we've been hitting Trader Joe's sparkling pomegranate and cranberry juices pretty hard.

    Dh (or me for that matter) doesn't really drink that much. He tries not too drink a ton of wine around me usually since that's my drink of choice, but he'll have a beer since I don't like it. Although with how sick I am nothing is tempting so I don't mind at all if he drinks in front of me.

    He seems a lot less interested in drinking but I'm not encouraging or discouraging him. Things seem to be working themselves out. :)

    I'm pretty sure this thought never entered his head either pregnancy. He's just excited to have a 100% guaranteed DD.

    If I have to go through all this lol then he can give up the booze. He only really drinks socially though... so its not a huge deal around our house.

    No. I see no reason for it. Plus, after I have the baby he is DD for every function for quite some time because I was DD for 9 months straight :)

    We were never big on alcohol so it's no problem for us. Although sometimes his food choices makes me want to hurl. But as long as I don't have to cook it I don't care if he eats it.

    I don't drink anyway ( I just don't like the way it makes me feel) I don't care if my husband drinks though, he works in Pro sports so there is a lot of schmoozing but he is pretty tame.

    He hasn't quit drinking, but he has stopped getting laid after he's been drinking... The smell of alcohol is making me extremely nauseous these days. Poor guy.

    He had my favorite pizza the other night and I was so excited when he put it in the oven. Not so excited when it came out. I felt like I couldn't get.away from the smell. I ABSOLUTELY love pizza too.

    He drinks a beer once in a while, nothing major. But at a social event, family dinners he has wine. But he never drinks to get hammered

    He hasn't, with football season and hockey season in full swing it'd be cruel and unusual punishment for him. (It would be for me too, but with the lingering nausea and hatred of most smells and food, I'm not missing it too much).
    Besides, if we both gave up the booze, our friends would definitely know something was up!

    Lol no. I love me some booze, but right now it sounds disgusting so I'm not missing it. But around months 7,8,9 I know I'll be dying for a drink.

    Mine has, but it's unrelated to me being pregnant. He's starting a weight loss med & has to keep his beverages to a minimum. The med can make him really sick if not. I'm his drinking buddy anyway, so it's not a lot of fun for him to drink without me.

    1. I would never make him suffer through my crazy mood swings without allowing him to have a beer or two. That would be just too cruel.

    2. Due to the fact we have not told anyone yet, he is probably drinking more now as he had to cover me this weekend and drink my drink brough by the hostess at a little get together. I tried to not allow the hostess to make my drinks, but she's a damn good bartender and kept topping me off!

    My husband doesn't drink much...just a beer or two with dinner most nights...so I wouldn't ask or expect him to quit.

    He did get drunk at a tailgate/college football game this weekend that I had to drive home from...I wasn't super thrilled but that would have happened whether I was pregnant or not.

    SS, we are big wine lovers and have quite a collection. So, he is allowed to drink whatever, except the good stuff from our wine rack.

    We are wine club members at two different California wineries.  We'll get about 18 bottles of wine between now and when this baby is born- 3 per quarter from each, and we just got Q3 from both right before my BFP.  We do not have room for 18 bottles of wine!  

    That said, he doesn't drink much.  He has no time.  He's just now on his way home from work - another 15h day, and he'll still have work to do after he gets home.

    DH offered to give it up knowing how much I enjoy beer once a week or so but the way I see it is that he's got a DD for the next 9 months so he better take advantage. We don't drink that much but we live in Colorado, home of hundreds of awesome local breweries and brew pubs therefore, going out for a beer once a week or every other week is a pretty common social function for us. Well... Now just for him. I'll just have a water... Thanks.

    My husband isn't a big drinker, and I am a bad influence on him so he's drinking less only because I'm not ordering a beer first, or going for a glass if wine in the evening. We have Friendsgiving on Saturday though and I told him he had better take full advantage if having me as DD.
