How often do you drink?

? fisticuffs violent!?

Oh yes. ☹️

Although Mini and I didnt beat each other up on Saturday night...

Out of interest - who'd win?

?

I think it'd be pretty close ?

Clearly me- I'm double hard innit

Most nights i will have a small glass of wine if we are at home. If we go out then it will be a bit more. on average we go out 3 times a week.

I drink fairly regularly - some weeks i won't drink at all sun-thurs, other weeks I'll have 1-2 glasses of wine or g&t's a couple of nights in the week. Friday/Saturday we always share a bottle of wine or have 3-6 beers each, whether at home or out. If I do drink in the week I try to have 2 nights in a row with no alcohol, as I heard on the Today programme that this helps the liver recuperate somewhat

I used to drink really heavily when in my early 20s and waitressing, its nowhere near that level now so i tend to think i'm ok. plus i don't NEED to drink, its just sometimes wine complements a meal, or i've opened a bottle for cooking and have a glass. the g&t's are for when work is getting stressful!

ETA: i'd love to be in a Mancunian Afternoon Tea club, if such a thing were to exist/ you otters would allow me!

This morning is reminding me why I don't usually drink during the week! After a few drinks with a friend I hadn't seen in a while last night I am now hanging at work

When did I get old enough for hangovers without even being drunk!?

There definitely seems to be a call for a mancunian afternoon tea club (Dd, see what you started!?) I'd be up for it but I can't be the organiser ... My wedding kicks off in four weeks, I can't cope with any more to-do lists!

I used to very rarely drink - a handful of times a year at most and usually on a big night out, I'd have a glass of wine at big occasions like Christmas etc but rarely finish it and never have a drink mid week or very rarely at home at all if it was just us. But in the last year or so, I've started getting a taste for wine, I've found ones I like and now I quite enjoy a glass. I'll have a glass or two most Friday and Saturday nights and I've found myself having the odd one on week nights. I always panic about week night drinking, as I've always had it drummed into me to watch the amount I drink, so I try to limit it where I can but I have got into the habit more recently.

The only time I drink in the week is when H is away with work. I feel sorry for myself because he is not around so I make up for it by doing things I enjoy, but don't do when he is at home like eating junk food, watching back to back films and having a glass of wine in the evening.

Went for a quick drink Monday evening - was out for 3 hours. A glass of red at home Tues evening. Last night we went out for dinner, shared a bottle of wine followed by another glass and a licquer at home. Today I'm going to a family lunch so a few more glasses. Am I a Lush???

You sound just like me.

OH is out for a work thing tonight so I've cracked open a bottle of beer (very lady-like). Going to watch criminal minds, have a long bath and hog the bathroom.... Just because I can.
