Not allowed alcohol at all.
But would probably have a couple of bottles of wine a week if I was.

Its worth remembering that alcohol (ethanol)C2H6O. is just one chemical compound that is consumed at various levels of strength and given names and flavours.

As a central nervous system depressant, ethanol/alcohol is probably the most commonly consumed psychoactive drug going.

So when consumed at say 5% volume in water its called beer, lager and cider

when consumed at 12% its called wine

and at 40% we call it vodka, whisky rum

but its all the same thing

If that makes sense

At home I probably drink 3 bottles of red a week? I just crack them open and sip on an evening

I go out maybe once every other week (and more or less depending on events etc) but i don't drink much on nights out
Not 3 bottles of red sis

Usually a pint/another half on a Friday afternoon lunch with colleagues but that aside I could quite happily not drink for a month or two. Rarely go “out” anymore because it bores me.

A bottle of red wine a month. A glass or two drunk with selected meals.

Literally twice in the last 18 months (a stag night, and then the wedding of said stag). Probably had alcohol fewer than 10 times in the last 5 years .

Honestly "casual alcoholism" is far too accepted in the UK; it's a real problem, guyz . Having a few "party years" from the teens into the 20's is inevitable but at some point it's time to grow up and learn to enjoy reality without hiding behind a haze of drugs .

I once knew a lady who would wake up in the morning and down a half bottle of vodka

the first cup would make her spew it up

so she spewed into the cup and drank it back rather than waste it

true story and i bet not unique

Pack of bitter a week. Not saying how many cans are in the pack.
