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.

The man I love is now married to someone else. He was my best friend since university (were now in early 30s), we never pursued anything romantically (was too scared to tell him) and now he’s married to someone else and they have a baby girl. I went to see them and they have this perfect home and family. His wife is perfect, pretty & young and smart. I’m still single. I want to be happy for him but I was so jealous and sad and felt like crap. I can never tell him. Just had to let it out. :((

I can’t ever talk about anything that worries me because she just freaks out. We have kids and she has no ability to earn money so leaving would be impossible financially

People who are cleanliness/organization freaks and have SOs who are not as clean/organized, how do you deal with it? Just learn to live with it?

SO moved in, however they aren’t as organized (an example is closet, my clothes are neatly folded and kept while theirs are mostly a pile of rolled up clothes). It does upset me and for some reason comes across as lazy which it may or may not be. We have had one minor chat and they saw it as ‘house rules’ and were worried there may be too many rules.
