How Many Alcoholic Drinks Do You Have On a Single Date?
This week’s poll is stolen, verbatim, from Glamour’s Smitten column. Yep, I’m that shameless.
Seriously, I just thought it was an awesome idea for a poll and I wanted to use it. Giving them full credit for the idea, of course.
I’ve written, many times, about the fact that I’m a total lightweight. I don’t drink much anymore. But I do sometimes drink more than I should on dates. Because I’m having fun. Or I’m nervous. Or I just feel like it.
And each time I do, drink more than I should on a date, I end up regretting it.
So how about you?

Depends. Is it a first date? Did you hook up before the date? Does having a pregame beer count? What if you were a little nervous so you ripped a shot on the way back from the bathroom? We need more information, Glamour’s smitten blog.
I don’t drink at all and it’s weird that women come across bring up the issue that I don’t drink and they do. What ever happened to straight-edge women?
I’ve dated a lot of guys who don’t drink and I’m fine with it, as long as they don’t mind if I have an occasional 1 or 2. I much prefer it to dating guys who drink A LOT
Recently I’ve been having a problem w/ MEN getting drunk on first dates! I don’t know if its nerves or that I tend to date sloppy drunks, but it is utterly unacceptable. In NO UNIVERSE should I be worried about how my date is getting home!
I’ve had that happen once or twice and it’s upsetting to say the least. Poor behavior!
I never thought about it, but I probably have anywhere between 1-3 drinks on a date. Depends on a variety of factors. Is this a first date? Have we hung out before but never on a one-on-one basis? Am I having a good time? As long as I can hold my liquor (and my cut-off is always three unless it’s the weekend) then I see nothing wrong with kicking back a few.
That is TERRIBLE for a guy to get that wasted on a date though. Bad form!
