re: Did your old man regularly go out at night when you were a kid?

Dad: No, he never went out as far as I remember. He owned and operated a dry cleaners and that's what took up most of his time. My mom (seamstress) worked with him doing alterations on the side. They both worked 6 days a week.
I was a party animal back in my youth but when I got married, I cut it down to weekend warrior status. More than 15 years ago I went completely cold turkey and gave it all up. Not one drop since then.

My Dad: Thursday was bowling night. Of course they would drink beer during and after, but he was always home by 10pm. About 2-3 nights a year (bowling banquet, Men's Club Dinner and Poker) he'd go out with the guys.
Once a month on Mondays the Men's Club would meet to drink beer in the rectory basement but he was home by 9:00pm.
Me: I often will stop at a bar after work but I'm always home by 6:30pm. I rarely go out drinking at night with my buddies. That's usually after work. About once a month I go out for Pizza with a group of friends but I'm home before 10:30pm.

He had another family in a different town.

Up until I was probably 7 or 8, my dad would have drinks with customers occasionally after work, and every now and then he’d go out with some friends and have drinks after an LSU game or whatever, but mostly he was home every night. The last big hoorah I can remember was one night he stayed out all night, coming home hammered drunk at around 4 am or whatever and I awoke to my little petite French mom, who’d been up all night worried about him, climbing on his back like a bobcat, and began smacking his head around in his drunken stupor reminding him of his responsibilities and that being a wife and child at home. That was quite literally the last time I can remember him ever pulling a stunt like that again. FF about 12 years and he stopped drinking entirely.

Dad: Never.
Me: Enjoy hanging out with the neighbors much more than my wife does. Especially past 10pm.

Literally never.
Did have to work on other side of state for awhile but would still drive from Lake Charles back to NOLA even after work so he’d only be away for one night.

Never, and never.

Only time my dad went out was with mom and us on Super Bowl to one of their friend’s house. SB was their one big hoorah a year. Wife and I go out on her bday every year and that’s about it. I work too much, would rather be at home with kids, and too tired to hang out with hard legs late at night

My dad didn't. He doesn't even eat sweets and only drank beer on Christmas Eve from what I remember. For reference I'm 33 and my dad had me when he was 36.

No. My father was a working man and Christian first.

Follow up question: If you’re married with kids, do you go out regularly and without the wife?
No. I usually let her come with my everywhere. If it's somewhere I don't want her to me, I don't go either.

Not trying to be rude, but how is this healthy?
what do you mean? Are you saying you think its healthy for a relationship for the man to be going out to a bar by himself?
my wife may go meet friends at a restruant and does the bonco thing once a month and maybe might go out with that group for wine once a year but is home by 10.
Im not into the bar thing but will go drink beer at a friends house. 99.99% of the time though my wife is coming too.
I think its weird you think not going out to a bar without your wife is unhealthy.
Maybe i am different and old school (im only 38) and my did never went out to a bar, even when he was single and had full custody.
Wife and I usually try and go on a date night friday or saturday but its to dinner and maybe go listen to a band or if with a bunch of friends maybe a bar until 10 or 11.
one of the nights is usually kids coming with us though to dinner or to friends where they play with their friends.
I think its weird as frick if i see a married guy out at a bar without his wife. Fishing or hunting...sure, but not a bar.
Just like i think 99% of "girls trips" are nothing but an excuse for the wife to be a whore.

My dad and stepmom would go out occasionally to take country dance lessons. I assume they had a few drinks while at the honky tonk.
Me, I never go out alone. My kids are in HS now and lately the wife and I will go have a few drinks on Fridays after work without them.

He went out 1 time for a pack of smokes and never came back. So not regularly but just 1 long night.

My parents didn't start going out in bars until I was late in high school. It's weird getting a call from your parents drunk at 2 am needing a ride. LOL They did often go to the casino's to gamble a little and eat dinner when I was growing up. I spent my 20's in out in bars drinking but not so much now. If we do it twice a year, it is a lot but I am not a big drinker, never was.

My dad didn't go out at all. Had his daily beer or wine at home with my mom after work.
Me, not really. For the most part, I like being around my house. My "going out with friends" is playing golf on weekend mornings and having a beer in the parking lot when we finish.

Does this include happy hour drinks right after work? I do kind of agree with you if we're talking late night barfly type going out, but happy hour after work without a spouse is very, very common. Wife and I both do that without each other every now and then.

No. My parents hardly even had friends of their own. Mom had a few other mom friends from our school with kids our age, and we would hang out with them when dad was working (he worked shift work), but she never got together with friends if dad was off.
Dad essentially has no friends besides one dude he goes to the fishing camp with maybe once a year. He likes to be at home messing around in the yard, or hanging out as a family. He's a quiet one.
No kids, or married, but 10 years together and I sometimes go out alone when he's working (I guess you could call his job shift work in a nontraditional sense). I regularly get together with my girls, but again, usually on his work week.
I don't go out alone while leaving him at home.. that would be odd. We have more fun together. And he almost always prefers I come along with his friends, which are my own friends at this point.
Neither of us have anything to need to 'escape' from.
