Just your own thoughts 😊

I would have 2-3 bottles prosecco per week. Spread throughout the week - say one on Wednesday, Friday, Sunday.

Is this excessive to you?

I drink a bottle and feel.completely fine and capable to deal.with an emergency and as a full time worker and single mum I am keen to know your thoughts

fYI I don't binge drink on one day

Yes I'd say that's excessive

Worryingly so tbh

It's not worryingly so ffs.

Anyone who has more than a thimble full of sherry at Christmas, is an abhorrent pissed alcoholic according to some on MN.

Seems fine - I’m not sure how many units it is in total or how many you’re allowed but I’d say it’s not excessive or binging

If you ask that on here most MNs will say almost any amount is too much. They will also quote the hilarious government guideline of 14 units per week.

Your amount seems normal to me.
