Need help putting a plan together

[keyners]

Dear board,

My average drink volume is 4 per day, sometimes it is 2, sometimes 6, but 4 on average. I count all my drinks religiously with my phone application. Would 2 per day be considered moderation? How many days per week would you recommend AF? How many days above 2 drinks would you recommend per week/month (if any)?

Thank you.

well, it depends. if you are female, the US recommendation is 1 drink per day with no more than 7 in a week(and you can't consume more than 3 at a time)
if you are male, it is 2( no more than 7, no more than 4 at a time(i think).
anyway, that's in the US.
If you live in Spain or France, it's more than that! the US is kind of a teetotaler type country, whereas wine is part of life in France. the US has some moral high ground or something(i live in the US)or so it seems. LOL

anyway...i was drinking a little less than you when i came on this site.
every day, sometimes 1, sometimes 2, usually 3, occassionally 4, but rarely ever more than that. the problem was i was drinking every day. i wanted to quit that. i also strived for someone to give me a plan, a recommendation. I did get some suggestions, but mostly, i was told(in a very supportive way)that I'd need to work that out for myself. So, with a little planning and some slip ups, and a continual need for monitoring and modifying as i go, i've kind of gotten into a groove.

my goals are:I try to have at least 2 AF days week, but would love to shoot for more sometime soon. I try to keep it under 2 on weekdays, and try to never have more than 3 on weekends(unless it is a big event). That's just my start out plan. maybe it will get better. we'll see.

come on over to the long term mod thread. you'll see everyone's goals there and can work out what works for you.

good luck!

I appreciate your thoughts on the matter and I've gotten some new ideas. My problem is that my drinks compared to yours are, (most likely), much larger...sigh!
