writes: Hi Everyone, I have a question please, especially for people living in the UK that are late thirties/early forties...how many times do you go out each week in the evening and would this usually involve drinking on each of those occasions? If so, how drunk would you say you get (please answer honestly, I won't judge!) - generally I am trying to get a sense of what is 'normal'/'healthy' after coming out of a relationship with a binge drinker - I don't drink at all, but I know that in a new relationship the person probably will, so I am trying to familiarise myself with it now. Also, it isn't only a matter of the drinking...just in general how much people think it is healthy to meet up with friends and so on. Many thanks !

But for someone like yourself thatvdoesn t drink at all, I don't know. A man can have a drink every day , or even 2-3, if he doesn't drive after that, it would be perfectly fine with me.

Like the majority of my friends, I seldom drink and never to excess (I stop as soon as I feel a slight buzz). So in my opinion consuming alcohol once a week is excessive.However I do have a friend who enjoys beer and he will have ONE with dinner when we go out and that's it.My sisters have a couple of friends who drink far more often and occasionally do get drunk. This, to me, is very tacky. And since they drink socially at least once a week, they always have alcohol in their systems. Not enough to be intoxicated, but enough to taint one's persepctive.

Off course every one's opinion on this matter is going to be completely different as society now has so many different personalities and so many different kinds of people. One person could go out once a week another once a month ect ect. Everyone is different. But personally I feel that when in a relationship it is healthy if the people in it socialise once a week. That doesn't mean having to drink alcohol but just going out as a couple or with friends. Get some enjoyment out in life. Personally I would think it would be ok to drink alcohol at the weekend and have a few drinks. Just to relax.
