To ask what you do on nights when you don't have a glass of wine

I have a glass of wine every single night

Just one (or two)

But I think the reliance on it is unhealthy and I'd like to not drink for a bit

It doesn't help that I have anxiety and low mood and wine gives such a nice dopamine rush

It sort of blows my mind that some people don't drink it at all - I'm quite envious of the self reliance

I like a tonic water in a nice tumbler.

I drink filtered water, occasionally a glass of squash (Mr Fitzpatrick's) if I need a sugar rush.

I rarely drink wine at home.

Hot chocolate / decaf tea.

I have a drink awareness app on phone so enjoy logging the “dry days”!

Oh that's a good idea! Satisfying to gameify it a bit
