I think I drink about 4 or 5 nights out of 7... usually half a bottle of wine, sometimes a full. If I go out at the weeknd I'll have about 4 or 5 doubles of whatever.
I wonder whether I'm drinking too much? It just seems normal to come home and open a bottle of wine with my boyfriend..

I do not like drinking at home. It does not feel right.
Binge drinking they call it and they say it's worse than a bit a week but hey, since when did it bother me :razz:
4 years ago that dwindled down to a few times a month as i bought property ....
now, i rarely drink and have only been out 2 nights this year.
Grown up and just not into the whole drinking culture anymore.
Depends on the evening, inbetween 2 and 8 pints. Long drinks, shots optional. If I'm meeting up with someone during the week, 1 or 2 beer. Sometimes a pint to lunch, but rarely.
I enjoy drinking, and won't hold back for the right occasion, but my true drinking days are over.
now it just tends to be a few cans in the evenings on weekends.
go out drinking a couple of times a month these days due to money saving venture, but then i go a bit wonky.
can quite happily have 15 pints followed by bottles and shorts to finish the night off. usually if im going out on the razz i go on a 12hour plus bender. not good for you, but usually hella fun.
It's nice now it's warm to sit outside and have a drink.
Yeah the warm weather makes me want to drink more..
I was happy to finish it for you
I rarely drink through the week unless out for a specific occasion. I do tend to get trashed on Friday/Saturday though
I've been drinking like this now since I was 16 but it's gone through stages like when I'd finished school and was waiting to start a job I was drinking a lot more but when I worked I was drinking a bit less.
BWAAHHAHAHAH!! Calm it, you
Well, Bruce was drinking Bulmers and my lass moved onto red wine so I finished hers too. We'd all eaten too much just before hitting the pub.
It used to be a lot more but like budda I just cant take the hangovers anymore if I have something like work on the next day.
Used to drink 4-5 times a week, very heavily at that. Now that I'm working weekends and have exams coming up it's maybe once or twice a week and not too heavily on the sauce. For instance, I had two pints last night watching the United match, usually I'd end up in a heap on the ground blabbering shit.
never drink just for a wee drink, its always to get absolutely hammered and it can be some serious binge drinking at the weekends
trying to cut down at the minute! :thumb:
6 months ago i was drinking near enough every night so its a bit of an improvement!
Sometimes less,sometimes more, all depends on £££.
Benders sometimes can go for 2/3 days and theres way too much drink consumed.
You can try the online alco test
http://www.bupa.co.uk/health_information/asp/healthy_living/lifestyle/alcohol/alctest.asp
But what you said is like 21 units of alcohol per week when for most women upper limit is recommended to by more like 14 units and you look lighter then most women so your recommended number is probably even less then 14 units per week.
