Used to be every night - 1/2 to whole bottle of wine, and 2-4 beers...

Tried to cut back, failed

Had a bad cold and did not feel like drinking. Seemed to have lost the taste as I have only had a couple of beers (and no wine) since beginning of October and did not enjoy them...

So pretty much tea total now...

ps - lost 2 kilos, saving $100's a month

Far too much.

Read a book on alcoholism a couple of years ago and was dry on and off for 18 months.

But fallen well back into the pit now.

Get through a large bottle of JD a week, plus a few beers here and there. I look forward to my tall JD and coke of an evening ...

Default Re: How often do you drink?

I drink mostly wine, the odd glass at a weekend is about it.

Ocasionally have enough to get me tiddly, at a BBQ or out for a meal or something rather than at home, but I seem to have this "threshold" that wont let me drink enough to get me really pissed!

I like a glass of wine in the evening and the odd bottle at the weekend!

I can go weeks without wine if I'm working as I dont like to drink before a long day shift and can't drink when on nights now I'm not working I don't have that break so need to cut down a bit

The person who starts the poll can make it anonymous (like this one) or not (like the marmite one).

Default Re: How often do you drink?

I enjoy a glass or two of wine most nights and then usually have a big session at the weekend.
However, for each of the last few weekends I have lost a whole day (and evening) spewing up so have tried to cut down
Not that easy to cut down when you don't think you're having that much in the first place
I think I'm developing an allergy to big nights out which is not good :curse:
