Are you drinking/going to drink alcohol this evening?

Can’t decide myself. I’m not going out but might pour myself a small glass. Also thinking if I don’t drink anything I will feel clear headed in the morning which is always a bonus. Will you be having a drink?

@Coldenoughforyou

Wine doesn’t agree with me any more either. I enjoy lots of other drinks but I definitely feel better the next morning if I don’t drink at all.
It’s an age thing. Peri was made so much worse with alcohol so I gave up last year. It is so good waking up in the morning now.

Having a glass of red wine just now.

In the interests of research I’m about to open a bottle of that £12 Lidl champagne that’s come out above moet on taste tests Grin.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and had a work Xmas lunch to attend today . I've not told anyone my news as it's so early but ppl kept asking me why I wasn't drinking etc . Got a little annoying after a while .... if I wasn't pregnant I'd say go for it 👍🏻 a few wines in a Saturday didn't do anyone any harm ☺️

BlooBagoo · 27/11/2021 18:51

Yes. I've had a really horrible day so now waiting on my grocery delivery as I'm really glad I added a bottle of wine into it on a whim. It should be here between 7 and 8 so I'll hopefully be able to have a glass or two during Strictly.

Mum2jenny · 27/11/2021 18:51

Please let us know if the Lidl champagne is really good.

InFiveMins · 27/11/2021 18:51

Yes, I always do on a Friday and Saturday night. I don't go crazy, but I enjoy a few glasses in front of the TV.

gogohm · 27/11/2021 18:55

Yes, that ship sailed about 4.45 - tradition to have a g&t when Boris and his sidekicks are on tv. Off to the pub in a bit, support your local

Gwenhwyfar · 27/11/2021 18:59

Of course it's Saturday night.
Why wouldn't I?

AllThingsServeTheBeam · 27/11/2021 19:04

I've had 4 pints of doom bar and a small glass of prosecco. I am debating whether to open a bottle of wine or not.

whatthehelldowecare · 27/11/2021 19:09

DH and I got really carried away on the wine last night and didn't go to bed until 6am Blush

Definitely no alcohol here tonight - Chinese just arrived and Elf on the tv!

CouncilHousedAndViolentBaby · 27/11/2021 19:10

No I don't drink unless I'm out getting wasted lol

ArblemarchTFruitbat · 27/11/2021 19:11

Yes - we have a nice bottle of Bordeaux that was on offer at the supermarket earlier. Just the thing for a chilly evening.

Havent heard of this. Definitely sounds like an area where more research is required. I will be happy to pitch in later this week 😁

evilharpy · 27/11/2021 19:15

We're going to share a bottle of champagne. No particular occasion, just fancy it.

HerRoyalHappiness · 27/11/2021 19:17

I have rum and coke Grin

gincakecomps · 27/11/2021 19:19

Yes, got a Chinese takeaway coming and always have a glass of wine with them Grin

delilahbucket · 27/11/2021 19:19

Yes, sharing a bottle of prosecco with DH. That's about my limit now as I've cut down massively over the last four weeks. It's amazing how quickly you become sensitive to it when you stop.

Allthatglittersandgold · 27/11/2021 19:20

Yes. Usual glass of wine, always an extra one at the weekend.

GeorgiaGirl52 · 27/11/2021 19:21

No. I don't drink alcohol.
Love a nice mug of hot cocoa though!

Hereticetta · 27/11/2021 19:23

Nope! 19 months sober and no longer miss alcohol at all. Can’t be arsed with the effects on my sleep, skin, weight or the hell of a hangover.

I’m having a cuppa instead Grin.

alborana · 27/11/2021 19:23

It's Saturday night! I'm drinking wine. Not sure what the point of this thread is though.

AuntieStella · 27/11/2021 19:25

Sharing a bottle of wine with DH.

I drink most weekends, but rarely during the week

A580Hojas · 27/11/2021 19:27

Yes. Why do you ask? Seems like you are over-thinking unless there is something you haven't shared.

Incywinceyspider · 27/11/2021 19:27

No but only because i'm pregnant. Just put the christmas tree up, lit some candles and usually that would be my cue to sit with a nice glass of red wine. I'm having to make do with an alcohol free gin. Enjoy your drink!
