I'm just interested to know. For comparison really. I LOVE wine. Trying new wine, different tastes etc. But I noticed I went from drinking a few glasses of wine on the weekend to two large glasses a night on weekdays. I was doing a bottle over 48hrs and I wondered what everyone else thought was an acceptable amount for them?

I've recently cut back and just sticking to weekends, maybe a double G&T instead. I do look forward to it and find it a nice treat.

Normal for me would be one small glass of wine with a meal most nights. Saturday/Sunday I might have a bit more.

I absolutely do not feel any urge to drink more from the bottle. And they are genuinely small glasses ( I buy our wine glasses in France or CH where they are pretty tiny). I have a French mum, and blame this for my compulsive moderation.

I’ve put on weight of late and so am not drinking (or eating bread) at all in the week until my pants fit again. It’s the ( half) French lady way.
