I recently started working with a personal trainer and on my intake they asked how much I drink per week. I answered honestly- 1-3 per work event (usually 1-2 per week) and then on the weekends maybe 1-3 depending on how generous the pours are on Friday/Saturday. (Probable total is around 6-8 drinks per week because if I drink more one night I tend to avoid the next night)
My trainer was somewhat shocked at that number, which surprised me because I’m rarely buzzed, I drink over the course of several hours, and I always have food. He said it wasn’t the amount as much as it was the never ending cycle and he suggested taking a few weeks off, which I can do no problem.
My SO (male) definitely drinks more than I do and his doctors don’t bat an eye at his drinking even though he usually has \~10-15 drinks per week (max of 3-4 in a sitting). He said he can go without drinking, but truthfully I’ve never witnessed him at a work event without a drink in hand.
How much drinking do you do each week? Is is 2-3 drinks per session or are you getting totally wasted one day and sobering up the other 6 days each week?
