How much drink would you tolerate in a partner?

mr_fegelien

It's a popular pastime in Ireland and we have a stereotype of it being overdone compared to other countries but how much would you tolerate in your girlfriend?

Would you be okay with a girl that doesn't drink much but when she drinks, she binges to the point of blacking out or a girl that drinks maybe only a glass of wine/one beer but does it is 3 to 5 times a week?

16 gallons per hour.

Firkin good, hogshead bad.

What site are you getting these threads from, OP? CBA googling to find out.

As long as it doesn't interfere with her child rearing, managing of the home and her wifely duties I would permit her a small snifter of sherry after Sunday mass. Anymore could lead to a risk of a loose tongue.

I would say nothing and she would drink as much as she wants to.

Women are drinking a lot more than they did 30 years ago right? This is not just my imagination.

My wife is generally considered not to be of a sober temperament. She has a very sour personality, in fact whenever her imbibometer is at zero, she is a shrew. In hip-hop terms, she is defined by a term I dare not use on a forum.

14 fluid ounces doesn't begin to address her need for drink, and I am therefore responsible for providing her with an ethylated equilibrium, in large apportioned potions. Whatever happens to her when she is sober, I wash my hands of...

How many boards threads would you tolerate in a partner?

I wouldn't be a big drinker myself nowadays so it probably wouldn't work for me if a girlfriend's idea of a good night was a session every time.

I am noticing some friends are hitting the drink pretty hard lately. I'd say it'll be a wider effect of lockdown generally when it's all over

I'd rather her get steamed to the gills and sniffing lindsay lohan lines off a mirror once a month than her drinking a bottle of wine 4/5 nights a week for sure.
