I drink more frequently when I have anxiety or am depressed. I start thinking about drinking early in the day when in those moods - that has been a new thing in the last year or two. I feel so ashamed that I'm watching the clock to get to a time when it's "acceptable" to have a drink. Thankfully, that part is not a frequent thing. When I drink in these moods, it's often just a drink or maybe two. Sometimes a third glass if I'm drinking wine.

When I'm hypo, I tend to drink more volume because I'm out more and engaging in more social activities where alcohol is a part of it. I drink more when I'm hypo because I'm having a good time and if we're at a gathering the alcohol flows pretty freely. If we're entertaining at home, I just keep drinking as long as the bottles are open. If we're not at home, I can taper my intake a little better. I guess I hadn't really put too much thought into that before...
