I generally drink two bottles of red wine a night about 4 nights a week.

Don't you find your a bit sqiffy when you get to 2 bottles?

I try and stop after one and a half nowadays, and drink a glass of water with each glass of wine

Helps me remember who I am in the morning

1 bottle of wine on a Thurs, Fri and Sat and 1 bottle, which will last Mon, Tues & Weds. Sunday I try and give my liver a rest so 4 bottles in total, which i admit is quite a lot

Most weeks I don't drink any alcohol at all.

I suppose I have about two small alcoholic drinks a month on average.

I suppose I drink about 10 units per night out which is mainly once or twice a week. I have at least 5 dry days per week. Although, drinking nearly all your units in one night isn't good I must admit

Sorry to bump up an old(ish) thread, but I'm always fascinated by these as I do worry about drinking too much.

I drink 4 - 5 bottles of wine a week, but not as sensibly as you. I have that over 3 - 4 nights (with totally sober nights in between). Even though I have 3 - 4 nights a week where I don't drink at all, I always think that on the nights that I do drink it must be hard work for my poor old liver! My problem is that I can't do the whole 1 or 2 glasses of wine thing, never have been able to - to me it seems pointless having one glass, surely if you're drinking alcohol you want to feel the effects? If I was offered 1 glass of wine only or a soft drink, I'd choose the soft drink as I can't bear just being given one drink and that's it.

Has anyone else experienced this and been able to overcome it, or do I just need to accept that I'm an all-or-nothing person? I must admit, I can't ever envisage having one glass of wine and leaving it at that (which my OH can do, which amazes me!). And does it mean that I have a bit of a booze problem?

On a normal week, I don't drink Sunday-Thursday and get f*cked on Friday or Saturday... both if I'm in the money.

I'm a bit of a lightweight though, so think I'm just about the recommended limits.

On a Saturday night out with friends, sometimes on a Sunday with lunch.

A bottle of red wine or two each night. Saturday nights its vodka, in or out, usually about a regular sized bottle.

Nothing at all Mon-Thurs.

Bottle of Wine Fri, Sat & Sun.
Plus about 10 Bulmers over the weekend as well.

Is this excessive in anyones opinion?

I don't drink at all Monday to Thursday. Usually have 3 cans of Scrumpy Jack cider Fri, Sat and Sun at home. Pubs are too expensive.

I think my username gives away the fact that I like a drop of red wine...two bottles on a Friday night, to be precise. Helps me forget about my working week!

Perhaps a couple of generous vodka and limes on a Saturday too, if it's been a particularly bad week.

Crikey, theres almost an appologetic tone from some of the heavier drinkers in here!
Depends with me, no set nights but usually 2 or 3 bottles of wine a week, anything between 5-15 beers and a few glasses of whisky.

For weight -loss reasons, I try to keep off alcohol 4 days per week amd have a couple of glasses of wine the other 3. I have not had any spirits since before Christmas, as I haven't felt like it. My bro-in-law has recently lost 8 kg thro cutting down on the booze. He used to stop off on the way home every night and have 3 pints of beer, then a couple of glasses of wine with his meal. My sister convinced hom to cut down as none of his clothes fitted any more and he had gout. His blood pressure was high and his liver enzymes were 150 units when they should have been 50.
I used to drink more than now, and a GP who had done a blood test for something else said " I can see you enjoy a drink". I didn't like that much, so when I retired and was less stressed, I cut right down.

Having read this post I got to thinking about the reasons I like my wine - it's not for the effects tbh because although I would never drive or operate machinery after drinking a bottle of wine, I'm still in control and wake up the next morning relatively clear headed although I do drink a lot of water before I go to bed.

I know that it's so called problem drinkers like me that the government are trying to target because although we're not antisocial we are ticking time bomb from a health point of view. The thing is though I like wine - there is nothing nicer than a nice meal and a large glass of wine after a hard day's work and like you if I'm not working the next day I like to finish the bottle. I'm in my 40s now and I guess if I developed diabetes or hypertension then I would be motivated to cut down but until then I'm going to be an ostrich and stick my head firmly in the sand

A pint or two a week.

Loads. Always have. It is good for digestion, sleeping, feeling good. I never get aggressive moods, just a warm mellow feeling. Time for a glass now, I think. Cheers!
