Why did I drink 2 bottles of wine!

So, I was making a Sunday roast yesterday, opened a bottle of wine and before I knew it 2 had gone! This is not a regular occasion and don’t think I have ever done that before. It was over the course of about 6 hours but I am paying for it today.

can anybody else manage 2 bottles?

Why did you start the thread Op?

Has anyone present yesterday said anything to you about the events of yesterday?

No I just feel guilty about it

So are you going to ask someone close to you who was there yesterday what they thought of you on two bottles of wine yesterday?

Why are you so aggressive on every thread you post on @Blottum ?

OP has said it was not her usual form, its not a regular ocurrance & she feels hungover & anxious today.

What more do you want- the Spanish inquisition?

OP take it easy today & go easy on yourself.

It's not the end of the world once you're not doing it regularly

I probably drank two bottles over the course of yesterday from lunchtime ( was at a party) I was fresh as a daisy this morning though. No ill effects

Maybe I am in the wrong place for this. I’m not an alcoholic (at least I don’t think I am)

Yeh! How did we do it?! I drank two bottles one New Years Eve and few years ago and was in bed all day with a bowl all day the next day. I do watch what I drink now I’m older. Wouldn’t want to feel like that again.

No idea how we did it 😂, I would be so ill now!

No because I would be drunk, you have an issue plus that much depending on white or red or type means you could have consumed up to 50 grams of sugar and 40 grams of carbs without even noticing.

And the winner of the most mumsnetty comment is...

I just feel really anxious and not myself today at all. I’ll never do that again.

Partner? Children? What have you managed to do today?

was everyone else present drinking very heavily yesterday?

In my younger days we used to drink a bottle of wine each before we even went out!

Why were you making Sunday roast on Saturday ??

Lurkingandlearning · 27/07/2025 15:26

As it was a one off I imagine it was because you were enjoying the wine while you were enjoying cooking and lost sight of how much you were drinking. I wouldn’t have been functioning well after three glasses but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sometimes it’s nice to have a glass while you’re cooking. Just be more aware of how much you’re drinking next time. Unless this is part of a wider pattern I doubt you’re an alcoholic, just be aware that alcoholism creeps up on people.

I would definitely notice opening a second bottle of wine, if drinking on my own. You say 2 bottles is unusual but what would be normal for you?

Must be the hangover! I made a roast dinner on a saturday

Show quote history

Why call it the Sunday roast then?

SunflowerLife · 27/07/2025 15:22

I have done once or twice and I seriously paid for it the next day, not worth it. My limit now at a push is a bottle and a half but I normally stop at 1 bottle. Anything I drink after that is the difference between feeling alright the next day and being hungover.

I am also wondering how this could have happened today, seeing at it is 15:15 in the uk.

Even in new Zealand, it in the middle of the night. Or, did you do a roast on Saturday?

Not being arsey, just wondering if this is AI-generated.

I had about 8 drinks on Christmas Day over around 8 hours. I felt fine. Bit tipsy but lovely! But I haven't had that much since. Once in a while is ok

BeMellowAquaSquid · 27/07/2025 15:17

Every few months or so I go to my bestfriends house and we EASILY get through around the same throughout the course of the day. 6 hours of drinking = 250ml glasses 3 in a bottle that’s one glass an hour.

So long as you’re not dependent or doing this every weekend I’d say enjoy yourself! I just said on another thread I’m going to open up a bottle of Chocolate Block wine tonight and it definitely won’t last me more than a couple of hours. It sounds as though you have a healthy relationship with alcohol not everyone that likes drink is an alcoholic.

NazeLife · 27/07/2025 15:15

If I drank two bottles of wine at any point in my life, I would be sick.

Blottum · 27/07/2025 15:14

No3392 · 27/07/2025 15:13

As you've already seen, you're going to be called an alcoholic, even though you've said in your post that this isn't a regular occurrence at all!

Clearly it's once in a blue moon, look after yourself today!

Edited

Ok so it’s not a regular occurrence.

in which case…. 2 bottles of wine, the op would have been drunk. Like properly drunk. And she doesn’t even remotely allude to that.

OP, simple really. Ask someone close to you who was around yesterday what they think of your drinking.
