So I’ve recently made a decision to try to stop drinking during the week. Its more for weight loss than anything, but having a 3 week old baby at the house has its effects.
Im probably averaging 1-2 pints a night on week nights, 3-4 on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 on Sundays. Those are what I would call truthful averages, some nights I wouldn’t drink any and others I would drink more than I want to say.
So that averages out to around 17 pints of beer per week… WOW! That’s 3500 calories (nearly one pound) per week if they were all mid-ABV beers (200 calories per 16 oz).
With that being said, I’d like to hear other’s viewpoints on if/how they approach drinking during the week vs. the weekend. I’d like to think that by cutting out weekday drinking I will be cutting out +40% of my consumption, but I have a feeling that my weekend consumption will probably increase.
Also have to factor in the mental health considerations, since coming home and drinking a homebrew with my wife is about my fourth favorite thing to do with/to her.
