How many of you like a glass of wine/beer etc?
How much approx do you drink per week?
Do you think you NEED a drink with a baby? (lmao, I don't mean you sitting drinking with your baby - I got weird images of doing shots with Bethanie just then lol)

*No, im not doing a survey im just nosey*

I like a glass of wine, or 2 or 5 every so often but I try to stop myself from drinking too much as I have an addictive personality. I haven't had anything this week, but sometimes I will have a bottle of wine which will last me a few nights.
I feel as if I do need a drink at the moment.. not need as in im dependant on it, but just as if I need to chill? but I don't think thats so much because of Bethanie, more because of our living circumstances which can get stressful.

I do have a drink just about every day. But depends on the day on how much. I mostly have beer and wine and dont get drunk. Just enough to unwind.

Well, since my pregnancy with my first, I rarely drink. Guess those days are over for me.

I may have two to three drinks once every six months but nothing more.

Except for:

About two years ago my OH and I went out to an Italian restaurant. When my glass was 1/2 full they would come and refill it for me, so, there went counting how many drinks I had actually had. I was so ill the next day, which was Mother's Day, and then poor me had to deal with my two little ones while OH slept until 4 pm

Nah, drinking and having younger kids don't go hand-in-hand.

On New Years this year we went out and I had 3 drinks, even though some others were trying to get me to do shooters. All I could think about was dealing with children the next day. Turns out anyhow that I was pregnant at that time too.

I drank every weekend before.I didn't get drunk but I would drink...
Anyway,we have VERY strict laws-no alchohol before 21...so it would be very hard for me to just buy a bottle of wine and drink it at home....

I usually have a glass of wine with my dinner in the evening. I buy it by the box so I don't have to finish a bottle once it's opened. Only one though. I do go out probaby one Saturday every couple of months and go a bit overboard, but I think as Adults, we have to let our hair down sometimes.

I've realised since pregnant i don't really enjoy wine or beer! i think i used to drink just to get drunk (when out with friends etc, i'm not an alcoholic! lol). As since pregnant my OH has offered me a glass of wine with dinner and i've had a sip and realise i dont really even like the taste, so why bother for just a glass.

I definately dont think i will ever drink like i used to again (which i realise now was wayyyyy too much i don't know where i put it!), as i won't be going out hardly and someone still has to get up with the baby.

My favourite drinks though are

Jack Daniels and Coke
Southern Comfort and Lemonade
Vodka and Redbull

which i am going to indulge in occaisional! but limit myself to a couple only

When I'm at home I will maybe have a beer or a glass of wine a couple of times a week (when I'm not pregnant). Sometimes a bit more but it depends on my mood and how much I like the wine!!

When we go over to France to see OH's family I'd have 2 or 3 glasses of wine a day as it's always served up with meals. I'm not sure how well I could handle it now though after going so long without drinking.

I hardly ever drink now! Before we had Noah we'd drink most weekends and drink a lot! We just used to stay in with a DVD & munchies and quite easily drink a 1ltr bottle of southern comfort, tia maria or malibu - something like that! I was always really ill the next day!

I could go months without drinking now and it really wouldn't bother me! I still have all xmas drinks left, tons of brandy, wine, bottle of malibu and champagne! I tend not to drink at home now unless Noah is at his nan's for the night. We have started having a (ONE) drink on a sunday night so I normally have a very small malibu & coke and thats it!

When I go out for a night out then I'll normally binge drink, I'll start off being really sensible & then I'll buy a long island ice tea and thats it, I turn in to cocktail & shot queen - but again I would only ever do that if Noah was at his nans for the night!

So no - I don't feel I need to drink with a LO, infact I'd rather not drink with a LO!

Im kind of the same of lil baby boo. I can go months and months with out a drink and it dosent bother me.

I had 2 glasses of wine last night once Olivia was settled for the night whilst I watched my programs just to unwind...


But before last night I cant remember the last time I had a drink at home. Its usually Chris that does now and again.

But if I go out then i will binge drink...

Usually if I drink it's with food.
Like a lager shandy with snacks watching a movie or a small glass of wine with dinner or Sunday lunch. But that's not regular or often, more of a treat once in a while
