Yes only one drink, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and sometimes half a glass of wine on Wednesday. So overall maybe 5-7 "units" of alcohol a week? I take months off in July and October though.

I quite like having a drink, and it's part of food culture to me, but as others have said, don't like being very drunk, or not often, and never go to bed with any level of inebriation because that is a migraine trigger.

Not every month but yea I like to drink and a lot

I don't drink. I've tried all kinds of different alcoholic drinks over the years and they are all just so disgusting to me. Luckily my husband doesn't drink either.

I'll drink at get togethers, whether it's a house party or a wedding, a pool day or a birthday. Once in a rare while my husband and I will have a couple of glasses of wine on a date, but usually it's a group activity for me.

I see a lot of people saying they don't like to feel out of control or that they don't like being around drunk people. I like both! I think it's very fun to be a little less inhibited, I think it's fun to feel a little wobbly, I think it's fun to get a little grabby and goofy with my husband. I also like being around drunk people! Idk, all the people in my life who drink all just get more fun to be around, not less. More likely to play a game, or do something spontaneous, or spill a secret. It's all fun! It's like the difference between going for a walk and going to a carnival! I guess carnivals aren't for everyone. There have been years of my life where I couldn't drink (medications, pregnancies, breastfeeding) and I still liked being around people who drink. I have friends who don't drink, and they can be fun too, but idk. My buddies playing music or seeing who can cartwheel best or playing truth or dare drunk is more fun.

I tried alcohol a couple of times but the taste is just soo bad. Like I can hardly make it through 1 cup so I don't experience the effects, so it's aken to drinking bad tasting water for no reason.
The most I've ever done is a bottle of Soju, but that just made me kinda wobbly with no other fun effects.

My grandfather was addicted so I don't really wanna push my luck.

weed is fun though, I get really bad panic attacks if I eat edibles for some reason, but inhalation is fun :)

Very rarely. I've grown to like the taste of alcohol (not beer though) but I hate drinking culture. Especially since it is a HUGE part of my profession. Like not officially, I'm not a sommelier or anything, but my profession is obsessed with beer. And drinking.

I was locked out of a ... long story short let's call it a promotion, because I don't go out drinking with the group every Thursday. EVERY Thursday. I went while we were in the field and I thought we all connected very well but apparently not.

4 out of 5 gatherings I'll go and drink soda and it makes them uncomfortable. Bitches I'm a lightweight and I'm driving. They're all driving too though :|.

Ugh I hate beer culture.

I drink beer most days, I stay away from hard alcohol, and while I would like to drink more wine, the sulfites give me headaches.

I drink. About on average, say, three "servings" (a shot, a glass of wine, or a mug of beer) per week. On special occasions I'll drink more. I avoid being actively drunk, however, because while I enjoy the sensation of having a drink inside of me, I can't stand the feeling of being drunk.

Personally, however, I don't care if or how much you drink as long as it isn't leading to destruction (yours or someone else's). What I do care about is people moralizing. If you don't drink, that's fine. We can get along great. If, however, you start lecturing one of is is on the way out the door. (Same rule for vegans.)

I don't. I find the blindspot society has for alcohol to be alarming and stupid. Far too many people outright require it to enjoy themselves at an event like a wedding, will decline an invitation if its not going to be present, and somehow don't see how that's an addiction. There's serious cognitive dissonance about how its somehow different than "needing" any other drug; if anything its worse, as alcohol withdrawal can actually kill you.

I never really picked up a taste for it and I'm glad for that, drunk people concern me. I'll cook with it, but i don't drink any beyond maybe a thimbleful to know the flavor I'm adding to a meal. Anything more than that and the only thing i can taste is straight alcohol.

I don't drink at all. I never picked up a taste for it and I don't want to spend my money that way. I am 62.

Wine! Wine is wonderful! Grapes are a special fruit that are incredibly variable. There are so many possibilities, so many different flavors and aromas. There is always something new to find in wines. Tasting wine is a literal academic discipline.

I usually have a glass or two with one meal a day some days. Wine interacts and pairs with foods, and you can even put it in the food!

I've grown as a person in the past few years. I've suffered many pints of beer trying to fit in with those around me, to not stand out. Beer is their thing, it's not my thing. I know this now. I know myself now. I know who I am and what I like, and what I like is wine. Also I'm trans. These two things might be related.

According to my medical charts, I'm a social drinker.

Which just means I drink a glass of something like once a month.

I drink at social events, family events, and occasionally at home with my wife. Sometimes I take a month or so off though when I feel I should.

I do not drink. It smells sour and bad to me. Intoxicated behavior really bothers me. So in sum, nope.

I ferment my own 'wine' (fancy hooch) that i enjoy a bit of every couple weeks. Yesterday I had some strong stuff I made from organic strawberry lemonade and it's really the best batch I have ever made. Nobody else I know really likes to drink and I feel weird drinking alone in my house so the one gallon batches I make last a long time.

I don't drink at all. Me and alcohol don't mix, so I don't drink. Personally I don't like being round drunk people so I avoid activities where that'll happen

Alright, little disclaimer and content warning, I'm gonna talk about some heavy stuff. I'm not going to go into too much details. It should be safe, but know that questions of abuse, violence and sexual assault will be mentioned, not described, though. Should be safe enough, but I would rather warn people. Always remember that you don't need to expose yourself to things that hurt you. ❤️‍🩹

I don't. At all. I have very specific sensorial sensitivities and the way I taste things makes it so that pretty much all alcohol tastes the same. I feel like my taste buds somehow like individualizes the alcohol and that's all I taste. It's weird.

But also, and I guess that's the main thing, I have a traumatic history of alcohol. An abusive parent. I almost lost someone who I was very close with due to how much they drank one night and had to go to a hospital after they fell in a coma because of it. I've been around too many drunk people in my life.

Alcohol is expensive, it's literally poison, and it makes people act in a way that I find very unpredictable and scary. I've been harassed, threatened, borderline assaulted, touched in inappropriate ways, and so on by way too many drunk people. I don't ever want to do that to someone.

I see alcohol as the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. I genuinely believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that our cultures would be far better without it.

I think I'm quite judgmental on this issue. I recognize that, but I genuinely don't understand the people who feel the need to have alcohol and to get drunk to have fun. I don't understand the point of going somewhere and just drinking. I don't understand that. I really don't.

Like, I'm going to some kind of like party organized by friends or whatever and I'm like cool we're gonna get there, we're gonna get to sit around, chat, talk about stuff, play around, and just have fun and when I get there I realize oh, it's just an excuse to get drunk with loud ass music, again.

I've been the shepherd puppy for parties in my home organized by someone I live with acouple of times and that was already too many times. It's obnoxious being the only non-drunk person at a party. You feel like you need to babysit everyone because you don't want them to damage your apartment, which has happened! I have probably irreparable damage in a part of my apartment. That's probably going to cost me a lot the day I move out of it.

I've had to kick someone out of my home because the dude was just too drunk, kept sexually harassing people. Intimated me. Said fucked up shit about my then partner to my face. And was like on the verge of like sexually assaulting someone in my home. The victim who was also too drunk out of their mind to even realizing what was happening and even defended him. People treated me like I was crashing the party. Fucking hell. I don't want to ever leave that again.

Fuck alcohol. It's so fucking weird that we have normalized microdosing poison just for the hell of it.

I drink at home occasionally, less than a few units a week and not every night. Usually g&ts or similar and, whilst im not really 'into' wine like some people are, i do have my moments where all I want in life is a whole bar of chocolate and most of a bottle of red wine.

Social drinking i have a few drinks with friends but i rarely go all out any more.

I drink everything lol beer, wine, cocktails, whiskey neat. Not everyday ofc. But yeah it’s nice to keep stocked for when I’m winding down after my workweek ends, for movie nights, for pairing with a nice steak or pasta, etc etc. I treat drink like I treat food lol they are some of the finer things in life that I intend to enjoy😁

In social settings, can wary from a couple of times per month to two months between. Just having or two drinks/glasses of wine. I feel I get more easily hangover with age, and I don’t want to waste the next day - and I don’t feel comfortable/safe loosing control when out.

do I drink? used to.

how much? too much. hence my answer to question one.

it seems like more people are becoming aware of the idea that alcohol can be really harmful even when there's not a physical addiction. It seems like increasing use of terms like alcohol abuser, alcohol use disorder, etc. helps change the idea that there's this one type of alcoholic, they wake up and start drinking to function and they get the shakes if they don't. regular binge drinking doesn't look like that at all, but it's still really physically and mentally harmful. I feel like we have really normalized unhealthy alcohol use in a way that is dangerous to society.

there are of course people who use alcohol responsibly and like it for loosening up a little, the taste, the process, whatever. I don't think everyone should be sober or anything. but man for a lot of people it can be real bad and it's easy to be in denial by telling yourself it's like like you're addicted, you could stop if you really wanted to, you hold down a good job, you never drink before 5, etc.

None. I am extremely cheap and alcohol is too pricey for my cheap arse.

Once in a blue moon (see like, every five to seven years), I may have a margherita or some warm sake.

I like fruity drinks (mai tais 🤤) but my cheapness will win every time.

I really shouldn't drink for medical reasons (even though I really enjoy it) - but I recently have gotten into mocktails. They satisfy my need for extreme garnishes in my drink and are delicious.

I drink a couple times a month, usually a whiskey drink these days because that's what i have. Sometimes in the summer I'll have a hard lemonade. Wine at dinner, on some holidays. The circles I'm in now are more into weed, tbh, so there isn't just a bunch of booze in the fridge on dnd nights.

I very rarely drink with my friends (they drink a lot), but I never go overboard because I have emetophobia lol

Yup, two drinks once a week. I used to drink a lot more but as I've gotten older, my body doesn't handle it as well as it used to.

No, we don't.
