Drinking Diaries
We drink for different reasons: to quench thirst, to loosen up, because it tastes good, to enhance a meal, because we're addicted, as part of a ceremony, to celebrate, to mourn. We drink when we're happy. We drink when we're sad. And then there are the non-drinkers, for whom abstaining may be as much of an issue as drinking. This is a place where women can spill their drinking stories--from lamp-swinging hilarity to bottle-under-the-bed despair. At DRINKING DIARIES, you will read, and be able to share the details, the deep questions, the wide and wild range of experiences that pertain to women and alcohol.We’re Going to BlogHer 2010!

We invite you to share your drinking stories. Perhaps one of the essays we posted has inspired you, or maybe you have your own story to share. Please try to keep your stories short (under 500 words if possible), and it works well if you stick to one topic or theme, but feel free to write what you want. You can e-mail us at drinkingdiaries@gmail.com. Please send your story, as well as your name, e-mail address, a brief bio and any links you'd like to include. We may not be able to publish every story, but we will try to post as many as possible each week. We look forward to hearing from our readers!Posts by Date

Yes, I made the poll, but then I realized that there’s no blanket answer for me. If I’m on vacation, I might have a glass or two of wine every night, with dinner. If I’m not on vacation, I usually just have a drink or two when I go out on the weekend. So it varies, for me.
