How long does a bottle of white wine last you?

[thenightsky]

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.

Two nights usually.

Now in my 40s I allow myself 2/3 of a bottle on each of Friday and Saturday night. I never drink a whole bottle as I get palpitations and beer fear if I drink any more. I rarely drink at all the rest of the week - God knows I don't need the calories.

2 hours, maybe 3 if I'm not really feeling it.

But it wouldn't get me drunk either. Having read other responses on here I think I may have a problem

3-4 nights , I don’t know anyone over the age of 24 that would drink a whole bottle to themselves in one go.

You do now!

About an hour

About a week, one glass every few days.

I don’t know anyone over the age of 24 that would drink a whole bottle to themselves in one go.

Well you do now... I'm 60!

2 hours? Maybe a little longer - with spicy takeaway and a good box set or film on the TV.

I swear bottles are getting smaller these days 😬

2/3 nights. I never drink more than 1/2 a bottle in a night.

Same as you

2 hours. I no longer drink for this very reason. Once I pop I can't stop

An hour my way! Opened this bottle at 6ish and drank soooo slow and it’s all gone, could have another large at least and be fine tomorrow

One (weekend) evening, but I feel rough the next morning.

I blame big wine glasses. If I use small tumblers I drink the same number of glasses but it’s only half a bottle!

2-3 nights for me.

Open a bottle at 6pm, is finished with dinner by 8pm. It tastes good, meh!

3-4 nights , I don’t know anyone over the age of 24 that would drink a whole bottle to themselves in one go.

Seriously? You must have a very small circle of acquaintances 🙄

I open a bottle at 6 ish and it's gone by 9.

Every night 😢😢

I drink a full bottle of white every Friday night, and sometimes all the time half a bottle of red on both Saturdays and Sundays.

I'm aware of units etc, and know that I'm well over the recommended safe limit for women, btw.
So there's no need for anyone to point that out to me

Probably over 2-3 hours, and I often mix white with 7up.

Not drunk, just sooooo relaxed

ETA I don't know anyone younger than 25 who drinks wine.
It's common in my circle amongst women 30-60s.

Hope you enjoyed your curry OP

But the instant caaaalllllm of that first glass It's unbeatable.

Less than an hour 😂 I used to end up pretty wasted so don't drink it now.

3-4 nights , I don’t know anyone over the age of 24 that would drink a whole bottle to themselves in one go.

Ah don't be daft. Wine glasses tend to be pretty large, the ones people tend to have at home anyway. It's easily done.

When I was still in active alcoholism, it was fairly normal for me to kill a whole bottle in 20-30 minutes... before cracking open the next one.

@notacooldad same here! I've just chucked a third of a bottle that had been hiding at the back of the fridge for weeks.

If I had more than half a bottle in one evening I would be totally wrecked, but I'm a lightweight these days.

2-3 hours depending on what I'm eating and where I am

Am shocked at people that don't know anyone who can drink a bottle to themselves. That's very normal (although not great I admit) among most of my friends

3 of us last night had 3 G&Ts, 12 cocktails and 2.5 bottles of wine in around 4 hours - we're all in our 40's...
