How many of you SW women consider yourselves a "drinker", meaning alcoholic beverages.

I have noticed, in my life, very few of the women are/have been drinkers. When I say "drinkers", I mean getting intoxicated on a regular basis or drinking almost daily. Once every couple months or a couple times a year doesn't count. All my girlfriends rarely, if ever, drank and my wife might have a drink a couple times a year. I honestly know more women that don't drink than do, and I think that's interesting. This question was inspired by some answers to another SW question. Yes, I do like to get intoxicated every couple weeks and do have a few drinks a couple times a week.

I'm a recovering alcoholic. I started when I was 15. I used to get wasted 7 days a week. I went to AA off and on through the years. I was a functioning alcoholic until after work.

I thought drinking was a way to solve my problems not realizing all the problems I was creating. Every 5 years I fall off the wagon and start up again. July of this year will make 6 straight years.

Battling this will never be completely over because on my worst days...it is my first thought.

@LilPrincess Isn't it sad? I'm to the point with my brother, that I'm numb to it, in fact, I feel a level of disgust when I look at him and I feel bad for having those feelings.
LilPrincess · 46-50, F
@WizardofOz I understand because that is how I feel. He got out of prison two weeks before our oldest brother died and I thought that would be enough to make him change but even that didn't
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@LilPrincess Just don't stress yourself over it! That's not good on your health. My mom had two strokes in two years and I 100% blame him for it! That's something you don't want happening to you.

I'm a pot smoker, not a drinker
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@Starcrossed I do know one girl that is a pot smoker, I know a ton of guys that are and they also rarely drink.
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
@WizardofOz don't get me wrong, I do love a nice craft beer, cider or cocktail on occasion but I by far prefer the smoke.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@Starcrossed I honestly see nothing wrong with that.

UK Woman, thirty, single. I drink every night of the week.
@TheLush You sound like me.
Morvoren · F
I used to when I was single, now not so much. It was a socialising thing
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@Morvoren When you say "social" drinker, I'm guessing you didn't get hammered? lol A lot of women are like that. My wife would have two drinks at a bar all night. After we had our daughter, she pretty much quit drinking all together.
Morvoren · F
@WizardofOz I certainly did. I’d be out for hours on cider, rum, cocktails with my friends dancing, having fun and trying to pull the tourist lads.
4meAndyou · F
I don't drink any more. Used to when I was married to the ex.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@4meAndyou I'm pretty much a weekend warrior myself now. My younger years, I was getting drunk, two or three times a week. Out of curiosity, do you miss it?
4meAndyou · F
@WizardofOz NO! I don't miss it one bit. It's a huge expense, it interfered with my sleep patterns, and usually I went back to work on Monday with a horrible headache.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@4meAndyou Good for you! I also know exactly what you mean about hangovers. I mostly drink at home, which keeps the expense down but when I was going out, the amount of money I spent was RIDICULOUS! And I'm sure I lost a lot of money by leaving it on the bar or dropping it on the floor. There was no way I could have spent the amount of money I was just from drinking. It really is depressing looking back at all the money I pissed away.
EPreject · 36-40, F
Ppl who drink like that got a bunch of unresolved issues they mask with alcohol. I speak from experience. I hardly drink these days .
PinkMoon · 26-30, F
I'm a recovering alcoholic, 4 years alcohol free. I think women just hide it better.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@PinkMoon Congratulations! I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I grew up with drunks and still have them in my family, so I know how tough it is to quit and how dangerous it can be! I am always amazed by the strength and determination it must take to accomplish what you have and know it's a daily struggle! Good luck to you!
PinkMoon · 26-30, F
@WizardofOz Thank you sooooo much. That the world to me😁🩷.
I drink wine nearly every night.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@Gingerbreadspice I've gotten drunk off wine a few times, cheap wine, and I thought I was gonna die the next day! The worst hangovers I have ever had!
@WizardofOz it’s often like that.

What about men?
A sexist question
Primnproper · 56-60, F
When I was coming to the end of my marriage I noticed if I had alcohol in the house I would have a glass here and there at irregular times so I stamped it out quickly and only keep a bottle for cooking now and then.

@Ducky lol... I'm familiar with you, Ducky. I'm actually a fan!
Ducky · 31-35, F
@WizardofOz Lol, thanks
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
I’m not a drinker. I have 2-3 drinks a year. I don’t like the feeling of being drunk or out of control.
meggie · F
I drink wine on the nights I'm not working.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@meggie That is important, I will not drink when I might have to work. It's called being responsible lol...That is a very good habit!
I had realised pretty soon in my life that drinking will not solve any of the problems,so I rarely drink.Heck ,i’ve even stopped drinking soft drinks.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
Nope, rarely have a drink and have never been drunk

I drink occasionally, but never more than one drink. And I tend not to do the hard stuff.
WizardofOz · 26-30, M
@bijouxbroussard That's how my wife is. She will occasionally have a drink or two but that is all she wants, and it works out good, because she is always the designated driver! That's actually how she likes it.
NinaTina · 26-30, F
I drink once a yesr if that
