How long does a bottle of white wine last you?

Opened a bottle at 7.15pm and I've just finished it at 9pm. Is that really bad?

In defence, I have eaten a big curry with rice in two sittings 50 mins apart at the same time.

So, half a glass whilst waiting for DH to bring take away. A full glass with meal. Another full glass over half an hour watching a film. Another full glass with take away left-overs. Finishing wine now with rest of film.

4 glasses, about 4 hours.

Gets me fat but never pissed.

AppleKatie · 21/07/2019 21:09

Of a rule, three nights.

But I could do what you’ve done tonight. I wouldn’t like to make that a regular habit though.

😂 On a good week, 3-4 days, on a bad week, an hour 😬

Same as you

Good - two nights
Bad - one night

SallyOMalley · 21/07/2019 21:12

Two 'sittings', whether that be two consecutive nights, or two evenings 3 nights apart. I'd be very drunk if I had all that on one night (but I am a lightweight).

dementedpixie · 21/07/2019 21:14

Sounds like my Friday night although I have big wine glasses so only get 3 glasses out of a bottle

TheSheepofWallSt · 21/07/2019 21:14

I’m a lone parent to a toddler so cant ever really get more than slightly fresh, so on a weekend? Two nights. During the week? 3-4 nights.

If I get a rare night out?

About 15 minutes. With a straw. Grin

CoffeeRunner · 21/07/2019 21:14

About an hour. 90 minutes at most.

thenightsky · 21/07/2019 21:14

SallyOMalley You'd be very drunk? Really? Even with two sittings of take-away curry in the mix?

I’m impressed you can type, I’d be bladdered. Normally 1/2 a bottle a day, 4 days a week unless I’m on it.

kitandkaboodle28 · 21/07/2019 21:16

Under two hours if I'm on it. But usually try to drag it out from 5pm-9pm at least. It's so easy to drink though!

Pixie2015 · 21/07/2019 21:16

4 nights approximately 20y ago would have one in an hour then go out - very rarely drink now have hangover phobia

thenightsky · 21/07/2019 21:16

coffee Yep, that sounds like me.

About a week. When you have teenagers who can't yet drive a glass of wine of an evening is very much a luxury. Sad

ssd · 21/07/2019 21:17

Forever

Hate white wine

30not13 · 21/07/2019 21:17

An evening. But not til dc in bed so say 4 hours? Don't feel
Drunk just warm and mellow. Might sometimes even have another glass after a bottle. Or a gin.

Usually around once a fortnight I reckon.

bigchris · 21/07/2019 21:18

It's fast yes but you're probably used to it, will you crack open another bottle ?

WillowSummerSloth · 21/07/2019 21:18

I also would be hammered after a whole bottle of wine. Probably don't drink that much over a whole week.

ExpletiveDelighted · 21/07/2019 21:19

Yes, this. I'd be under the table if I drank a whole bottle in one evening.

thenightsky · 21/07/2019 21:20

30not13 You've reminded me I have gin in the cupboard!

pepsimax20bigger · 21/07/2019 21:20

God are you not pissed? That's about 10 units of alcohol in just over 2 hours.

I don't drink wine but in that time I could potentially have 3 at the very most bottles of lager so just over 4 units.

If I had 7 bottles of lager in 2 hours I'd be pissed and probably feel sick.

thenightsky · 21/07/2019 21:21

bigchris No... the next wine will be Friday night.

OP posts:
dementedpixie · 21/07/2019 21:23

I couldn't drink several pints of lager either but can drink a bottle of wine quite easily without getting pissed. I only drink on a Friday and Saturday evening

notacooldad · 21/07/2019 21:24

Probably months!
I open it, have a glass and put it away and forget about it!
Which is an annoying waste!
