I drink three times per week, four days I go without. Some weeks I usually just drink two days of the week to be honest

I drink usually three days per week, and often two times, as well as some weeks I will drink once.

I drink to get drunk, not smashed on these three nights, but I am drinking to get drunk, simple as that. I like the feeling it gives me and I keep a note of my units and stick to what my limit is. Of I ever see myself creeping up, I hold myself accountable and tell my wife.

However I would say on a rolling average it’s 25-30 units per week, and I can decide not to drink now, and I feel years ago I was drinking problematic to cope but for the last few years I’ve kept it at this level and see these nights as my nights to chill.

I went on holiday few weeks ago and didn’t drink for ten days, was so determined to only drink one day of my holiday, that I did. However I don’t want to stop 2/3 days a week as it’s not the end of the world, but theres so much shaming now in the world, people saying only bad people drink and it’s relentless now, and Its hard being anything but perfect anymore.

I also drink quickly but I don’t ever go above what if planned on drinking. I’d say I’mime a Russian who drink maybe one glass of those 200mls then another shot or two.

If I am at weddings I will only drink beers anyway, as I much prefer to have a more mellow buzz there, which beer does.

Should one feel as ashamed as this? Its the same with being fat, or eating goo much sugar, the world just absolutely destroys you, and no one actually cares what someone else does, they just like to judge and compare to their own life
