Does your alcohol intake change while cruising?

Oh my...you didn't give me the option of generally 0 per day at home to an average of 3 a day on a cruise. CHEERS doesn't work for me!

This our situation as well. We do occasionally drink wine or when we go out to dinner order a cocktail. On a cruise we probably drink 2-4 drinks a day. Still not too much.

I do drink more on a cruise, but don't fall within the poll, lol. I usually drink ~5 drinks a month. I usually drink ~2 a day on a cruise.

I suppose I should answer this myself! :D:DI absolutely drink more on a cruise and buy Cheers just for that reason.

I live in California and have a glass of good wine with dinner 3-4x a week. Friday and Saturday evenings, I may have two.

On a cruise, I'm a coffee with a shot of vanilla vodka in the morning, beer at lunch, couple mojitos or vodka tonics by the pool, couple glasses of wine with dinner and a martini or two at night. Total - 8'ish? Oddly, I never feel totally drunk, just content and knowing that I'm sooooo on vacation.

I drink a lot more on any trip, land or cruise based. I keep drinks for planned meets at weekends with friends and holidays and avoid it midweek. I call my self a binge statistic

Of course it does. How many depends on the day. I prefer to be sober on a shore excursion and drink only after we're back on board. On a sea day I wouldn't survive without being half in the bag so drink early and often.

I love d drink mo r on a cruise. Let's think for a moment....I don't have to work, drive, cook, clean or really do anything. So, yes I drink much more on a cruise than I do at home

I drink more on vacation, period, than I do in regular life. In regular life I'll have a glass of wine in the evening. On a cruise - especially on a sea day - I'll have a bloody Mary with breakfast, a beer with lunch, a cocktail in the afternoon....

Since we aren't driving,we enjoy drinking more than when we are out at home.:D

I usually have one or two drinks every six months. While on a cruise, I might have one or two max a day. I've never had more than two alcoholic drinks in one day on a cruise. I get a headache with too much alcohol and that's not a good feeling for me. I really like trying new drinks and have my favorites, but I know my limits.

A corollary question is do you drink more when you have a free included beverage package than when you have no package?

Without a package I only have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner; but with a package, I have that plus at least 3 more drinks per day. :cool:

I admit I am a food and drink snob;p when I am on vacation I drink less, but in saying that I don't drink much when I am at home. I know a lot of people who drink a bottle of wine a night. It takes me a week to finish a bottle:'). Getting drunk or even buzzing has no appeal to me at all:cool:

I am a quality over quantity person. The products I buy are usually of the higher price range and I generally drink straight up spirits. These brands are usually double the price in tourist places and never included in drink packages if even sold on ships at all and I generally do not enjoy cocktails as I usually find them too sickly sweet.

I will sometimes have a glass of wine or beer as with these products price or brand have little effect on taste but since both drinks aren't a favourite I am happy to not have them at all;).

However when I travel to a new country I love to try the local beverage of choice or a unique drink they make in that community:D

We drink about the same on a cruise as we do at home.

Nope, we are content with the wine we bring on board and use the buy one get one free.

We drink more, I drink daily normally , but my first drink is normally about 6pm , on a cruise we will drink a glass or two for lunch maybe a drink by the pool , drink before dinner, couple of wines with dinner then drinks with show or casino at night, we always buy drink package .

A corollary question is do you drink more when you have a free included beverage package than when you have no package?

Absolutely! On my last 2 cruises with NCL, I had the drink pkg. My liver was happy when we got home so it could take a little break!

Nope. I drink a lot either way.

Yup, day-to-day routine, I rarely drink anymore.

Thank you ... I was needing THIS option also. Three drinks in a day would be the limit for me. That's a lot in one day ... for me.

At home, I probably have 6 or 8 drinks a year, mostly because I won't drink and drive and I don't want to spend lots on cabs. On a cruise, where I don't have to drive or take a cab home, I probably have 1-2 (alcoholic) drinks a day, very occasionally 3. So......yes I drink more on cruises, but not as much as your poll options.

Probably many of us drink more when we are on any sort of vacation than we do when we're at home. ;p

I didn't pick an answer on your poll, it doesn't really give me a choice for my drinking habits.

I have one drink every 3 months or so at home, on a cruise I'll have one drink a day and not necessarily every day. But I love that one drink a day!

I only drink 1-2 drinks (usually on the weekends), as I am busy in the evenings carpooling to kids' sports and activities.

When I've cruised with girlfriends (no kids) - yes, definitely drink more than I do at home - but most of our cruises are during spring break (with our kids) and chugging drinks and being drunk in front of our kids isn't the look we're going for.

I may still have a beer by the pool and maybe a glass of wine sometimes at dinner, but never even buy the drink package when we're cruising with our kids.

The only difference on a cruise is that I drink more on weekdays.

My typical cruise drinking day is the same as my Saturday but not more.
