So just how much did you drink?

I was a binger - only one day a week (i could never drink with a hangover). On average, I don't know - just got completely wasted until I feel asleep. Then felt HORRID the next day and the day after for the person it turned me into and what I said and what I did. To me, it wasn't how much i drank but what it did to me.

Hi Cassia. Yeah isn't it something what just one day of drinking can do to your life in HORRIBLE ways! The best reason to stay sober if we need more than one reason.

In the beginning I had a glass of wine maybe on a Saturday night in the end and at my worst I would have 150ml of vodka straight, a large glass of martini and a large glass of wine all in 2 hours and deliberately on an empty stomach every night on the week.
I never saw that coming, it wasn`t planned it just darn bit me on the bum and now I can see how evil and how harmful and addictive it is and am pleased it has gone from my life.
Love Flo x

I would drink one to one and a half during the week and easily 2 bottles on the weekend. White wine. What a waste of time and money...

Thanks for sharing everyone, it is interesting to see what everyones consumption is/was - makes you realise how lucrative the alcohol industry is!!

It's also very interesting to see how everyone's upper limit of consumption is so different. It illustrates that the amount we drink really isn't the issue (for the most part) but rather how it adversely effects our ability to function properly and without negative consequences. One drink would be too much if it had a debilitating effect on your life.
Thanx for a great post

I was thinking the same, Shanny. Occasionally, we've had people on here who seem to drink a comparatively small amount, or only on weekends and the temptation is to think they don't have a problem. However, if anyone has visited this site they probably have a problem, because if you don't have a problem you don't worry about your drinking.

I was also a bottle to a bottle and a half most days, sometimes 2 in the weekend. Usually if it went to two I wouldn't drink the next day, but most days I did. Just a few years ago it was only about half a bottle 3 times a week, so it shows how quickly it can escalate.

dancingon, that is so true how fast it can escalate. I am pleased to have completed day 3 AF

I was a bottle of wine a day for about 20 years with much more on weekend binges, in the year before i quit this increased to two bottles a night and going on for 3 on weekends. I always drank when hungover to make me feel better always with the intention to just have a couple. Im SO grateful my consumption did increase in that last year or i never would have decided to quit.

I drank at least 12 beers a day, every day, and 18 or more on the weekends for years. There were no days off as this was an entrenched routine in what I now see as an extremely pitiful previous existence. Rebirth is an absolutely perfect word to describe the escape.

4 to 6 drinks a night. Starting off with either 2 very large glasses of wine little more then half a bottle completed by 2 to 3 bears. That is the current drinking habit. I nthe past more, had to stop buying wine by the box. Also when no wine available I will substitue with captain morgan, five finger drink...if you know what that is? Bottom line I haven't not had a drink evryday in years...wtf!
