Anyone else drinking heavily?

[Marthe48]

For no particular reason?

When I say heavily, for me, I mean one drink, 2 days in a row. woo-woo

1. Me

I used to have a glass of wine 2-3 nights a week, maybe a gin and tonic on a hot summer day.

Now, I have a glass of wine nearly every night.

I pat myself on the back on any evening that I choose NOT to.

2. From your definition then yes!

1-2 beers at a time 2-3 times a week. I'm out of control 😉

3. Only water...

I have to stay hydrated or I'll be sick. Can't do alcohol but there's plenty of green stuff that is consumed most of my waking hours of late.

13. I'm right with you there

[FarPoint]

4. I wanted to but forgot...

Yet, I chain smoke!

5. I got drunk once in the Air force. I was 19.

That was nearly 60 years ago, and I never did that again!

7. I'm not drinking to get drunk

Yesterday, after I got home from errands, I had a shot of vodka to sanitize my gullet (wink, wink)

Today, I had Sparkling Ice lemonade and rum for recreational purposes

[Binkie The Clown]

8. Well, my first and last taste of rum in the barracks was enough...

... to convince me that I don't particularly care for alcohol. I'll confess to having 2 or 3 beers in a years time, but even that doesn't happen every year.

9. Good for you!

When I was much younger, we could all be demons! But I settled down quite a bit over the years. I have gone months without a drink, but boy, for some reason, it is good medicine this week

[Binkie The Clown]

10. I get it. Most of my friends are drinkers and I'm NOT some kind of snob about it.

I just always offer to be the designated driver.

6. I drank an ENTIRE beer on Sunday.

I usually split one with another family member. I have also been know to drink TWO mimosas during brunch.

11. I drank half a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc the other day to celebrate

and that was enough to get me pretty buzzed, since I hadn't had anything to drink since February.

12. Nope

I am absolutely drinking heavily, but not for no reason... It helps me cope with the virulent Trumpism infecting my red, rural area, from which there has been little relief for the past few years. It may go a bit underground temporarily, which will provide my liver a welcomed break, but AA is not in my future.

[Piasladic]

15. How else to deal with being in a red, rural area?

My only problem is all the liquor stores are frequented by the unmasked masses, so I'm trying to figure out how to make 'toilet wine' - failing, and thinking about ordering online.

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. Yeah , I'm not usually a big drinker

I can go months without drinking alcohol, but I have been enjoying 1 evening cocktail the last few days.

[Coventina]

16. I drank heavily Friday and then Saturday.

After spending Sunday hungover, I've been dry since.

Friday, I drank out of frustration.

Saturday, it was to celebrate.

17. Self discipline.... Limit yourself to one drink.

18. Look the other way, 2020.
