Do you drink alcohol?

[Deleted User 638]

I drink socially. I find teetotalers bizarre.

Why?

Not often, I drink wine, I like cocktails at the bar, I go to brewery's with my friends sometimes, frankly alcohol is expensive and I have better things to spend my money on. If you're worried about your anxiety and feel like meds would help I reccomend seeing your obgyn or pcp.

My ex didn't drink and neither does ods. Ods isn't 21 yet but it doesn't matter. They just don't like the taste of alcohol. But I drink occasionally and they don't care. I can understand not wanting a lecture from a non drinker or something. But I find people that want to get drunk bizarre. Why do they enjoy it?

I don't drink alcohol. I have never tried it. My mom and dad's siblings are all alcoholics. I am scared to ever try it.

Get a new psychiatrist. Don't turn to drinking to self medicate. Especially since your father was an alcoholic. You should report your psychiatrist.

I drink a few times a year, such as when I go on a weekend trips with my sisters, or at our family's Christmas celebration. But I'm talking cocktails or wine, a total of less than 10 drinks a year.

I don't like the taste of the hard stuff, and I HATE beer, so I just have a cocktail every once in a while.

I drink a beer or 4 every night.

It doesn't help anxiety at all. If anything, it makes it worse over time.

Your psychiatrist is a quack.

I’d be wary of trying alcohol if alcoholism ran in my family. I have drank alcohol just Smirnoff or a wine cooler but I’m not a fan. I can’t really drink anymore since every time I do, my IBD seems to flare.

I also am not a huge fan of anxiety meds. Do you have a therapist? Emdr has done amazing things for my anxiety

I will have a drink about once a week, maybe less often. I like tequila on occasion, but mostly just wine, maybe a beer, or a Mike's Hard Lemonade. I recently discovered the black cherry one and it's very good.

I do enjoy alcohol on a regular basis. I rarely drink in excess. I do not have have addictive tendencies reagarding alcohol. I can easily stop, do not crave it, and can be without it for days and be a-ok.

Now, sugar, ugh, that is an addiction, I lose every damn day.
