Re: Drinking

During the school year, I maybe have a glass of wine 2 nights a week. Now that it's summer and I'm at my parents' house, I have a drink every night. I don't see anything wrong with that, however, I don't really ever drink more than one glass of wine.

Re: Drinking

I drink once a month if that. It's so bad for you. It' s just extra calories that aren't worth having.

I totally agree on the caloric intake thing-- this is what made me stop drinking like I used to back in my hey day...

I drink maybe once or twice a month-- although, it really depends what I am doing-- how much socializing I am doing, if we have a wedding or something... I never drink at home unless I had a crazy day-- then I am drinking and chain smoking! The other reason why drinking is not good for me.

Re: Drinking

I don't drink often at all anymore.

If I drink 1-2 times a month that is plenty.

I have kids. I like to be fully present when they are around. So I drink only on a night out.

Re: Drinking

I have a child and I don't think that my glass of wine, after she is asleep, makes me any less "present" for her. Just felt I needed to add that.

Re: Drinking

I have a drink whenever it is that I feel like it. I may have a few drinks in one week but then go months without one.

I say if you're in the mood for a drink, have it and enjoy!

Cheers! Chat Icon

Please don't think I was casting aspersions on parents who choose to drink. Because I can't speak for ANYONE but myself.

My girlfriend has a cocktail at least 2 times a week and she is a fabulous mother. My father drank wine with supper just about every night.. in fact I was introduced to wine with my own supper when I was 11 or 12.

But I am just not much of a drinker these days - so a glass or two makes me feel loopy. And I am not effective as a parent after a few drinks. Again - just me - not speaking for ANYONE else so I hope you don't feel like I am judging anyone. I mean - there are people who can be fine after a glass of wine or 6 of beer or a half a bottle of jagermeister and a shot of jack... just not ME. Chat Icon

Aww, no, I totally didn't think you were doing that, the insecure side of me had to add thatChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon So the even MORE insecure side of me will add this: I never drink more than one glass of wine if I'm home alone for fear that Ava will wake up and I'll need to drive her somewhere. A few months ago, I had vodka and fruit punch, or some stupid concoction for some odd reason, and I made my friend come over until JT got home from work because I was afraid Ava would wake upChat Icon Funny, yet oddly sadChat Icon Chat Icon

Hehe... we will get together - put the rugrats to sleep and get our drink on one night. I will make sure my hubby is around so he can drive us around if anything comes up. Or he can drive to the supermarket and get snacks. WhicheverChat Icon

It depends on what you are drinking. Red wine actually has some pretty profound health benefits.Chat Icon

How much/often do you drink?

I'd say I drink 3-5 times a week 1-3 glasses. Usually Smirnoff Vanilla and Diet Coke but occasionally White Wine or Bud Lite.

My husband is a work right now and I'm thinking about having cocktail but I feel like I'm not supposed to.



that's about right..same here.

Before becoming pg, DH and I would drink on the weekends. Fri, Sat & Sun probably about 4-6 bottles of red wine per weekend.

ETA 4-6 bottles is for both of us, not just me Chat Icon We love our red wine.

Re: Drinking

I NEVER drink anymore, I think I am allergic because everytime I drink I FAINT- pass out cold right on the floor. So embarrasing.
Last time was at a work function about a year ago- I had a half a glass of wineChat Icon

I keep meaning to try again at home but am chicken.

It is wierd, because I used to drink a ton. I wonder what happened?
