That's a lot I would say. I am a recovering alcoholic and if it was 15-20 a year ago and 30-35 next year it's going to go really bad. I am a recovering alcoholic so for me it's 0 but at the end it was 20-25 a night, I would shake, sweat and panic with less, black out all the time, and was losing my mind. It was the best approximation of hell I could imagine and saw no way out.

I tend to drink a lot only on the weekend. I don’t blackout because I also do a lot of blow with it

Sounds like you have a nice alcohol/(recreational) drug balance. Good work.

15.5 per day is recommended for men. 11.5 for women. You are way under if that’s your weekly amount.

I don’t drink during the work week at all. I live alone and the concept of drinking alone just seems like a slippery slope (and addiction runs in my family). Maybe 4-6 if I go out on both weekend nights

I don’t drink every week, but when I do it’s 6-8 drinks across 2 days

Same. I’ll go out Friday and Saturday with friends and over indulge. Then not drink for a few weeks and then do it again lol

Lol I’m a bit surprised at the surprise…

In my early twenties I was probably nearing 50 and then I realized I sort of had an alcohol problem and worked my way down slowly to where I am now in my early thirties where 15 drinks in a week would be a heavy week where I probably happened to have a lot of drinks heavy socialization. Last week was probably an average week which was ten drinks, although normally there are more no drinks nights but my husband was sort of encouraging a drink together several weeknights:

- Monday: 1 beer with dinner
- Tuesday: no drinks
- Wednesday: 1 glass of wine with dinner
- thursday: 1 sangria with dinner
- friday: 4 drinks (three at dinner with friends, and an after dinner drink with husband at home)
- Saturday: 1 glass of wine at dinner, 1 after dinner drink (in-laws over for dinner)
- Sunday: 1 glass of wine with dinner

Maybe one drink a month, tops. I can’t technically say I don’t drink, but I could count a year’s worth of drinks on both hands with fingers left over.

8 usually a glass of wine each night with dinner. A real glass (~4 to 5 oz pour) not some Super Big Gulp (tm) sized pour. Plus a single of a nice scotch on Fridays evening to celebrate the week being done.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!

He doesn't do drugs or alcohol and my wife is going to kill me if she finds out again that I gave him money again.
