Have you drank much alcohol this weekend?

Had a few drinks Friday/sat. Fancy a bit more wine tonight as not back to work just yet.
Don't normally have this much though unless away on hols!

Shitloads. I've been in Italy this weekend so I've been mainlining Aperol Spritz. 🍹😋

No but I've eaten way too much chocolate.

I'm pretty good at not having too much alcohol because I know its not good for me and doesn't leave me feeling good, but I can't make the same connection with chocolate. I never know when to stop with that.

Yes I drank a few of glasses on Friday and also at lunch yesterday. I felt utterly awful afterwards. It was only two years ago where felt much more spritely and still wanted to go clubbing… I would opt for a double vodka & coke and now I can’t have two glasses of a quality white wine without getting a migraine after… I’m only 25!!

Not a drop. this is my second dry Easter, gave up January 2023. Before that I would have drunk over a bottle each night of the Easter break.

Feel so much better for it 🙂

slavetothekittens · 01/04/2024 17:10

Had a Tia Maria & coke yesterday and that's all the alcohol I've had over Easter.

Ohmych · 01/04/2024 17:11

Today has been my only day off over the weekend so I had a couple of glasses of wine with my roast yesterday.

BlazesBoylansHat · 01/04/2024 17:37

Not a drop! But only because I'm on a healthy eating/ weight loss phase. I love lost 23lbs since Jan. Doing well & determined to keep going. I have another stone to lose.
I find if I drink it opens the floodgates fot all sorts of other 'treats' so I've just cut it out. I've only had a drink on 3 occasions since Jan. Sometimes I miss it, sometimes I don't
I don't drink fizzy drinks either so it's coffee in the mornings & sparling water with lemon or lime slices for the rest of the day.

I have lost

Hoglet70 · 01/04/2024 17:41

Haven't stopped all week (but have been on holiday).

LaWench · 01/04/2024 17:44

I've had some red wine Thurs/ Fri and Sat, a bottle and a half in total over the 3 nights. Lots of chocolate and water too and been to the gym every day this weekend so it evens out.

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 01/04/2024 17:46

Wine with dinner on Saturday night

TeenLifeMum · 01/04/2024 17:47

I had 3G&Ts and a whiskey on rocks all on Friday night and a glass of wine at lunch yesterday. More than I usually drink but it’s my birthday and I was out with a friend. Probably won’t drink for the rest of April. I’m not hugely fussed.

DownWithThisKindOfThing · 01/04/2024 17:48

None, same as always.

Carpetburn · 01/04/2024 17:48

None for me but I’m on a health kick so didn’t have Easter eggs either! But I did have a no alcohol beer on Saturday!

MferMonsterSearchingForRedemption · 01/04/2024 17:51

Yep, loads.

I met a friend on Friday and had a night out on Saturday. I also had a few glasses of wine yesterday. It's been excessive for me, but fun!

mahaka · 01/04/2024 17:52

Yes. Had a great laugh with friends and family too

TisTheDarnSeason · 01/04/2024 17:52

DH and I went out to lunch and the theatre on Sat so, yes, I did drink. I had the wine pairing with lunch which I don't usually bother with but it was lovely (at the time). Then a glass of (shite, pointless) wine during the interval, and a heinously expensive but very delicious vodka martini before heading home.

I felt absolutely rubbish by the time we got back and was in bed with paracetamol by 8pm.

I probably won't drink again for weeks. Used to have a couple of glasses of wine (or more) pretty much every day but since hitting the perimenopause it generally just makes me feel terrible and I don't bother. It was a lovely day though!

PartyFearsTwo · 01/04/2024 17:52

I had four glasses of champagne yesterday at a birthday party. Unusual for me, as I rarely drink. Enjoyed it though.

flatfat · 01/04/2024 17:56

Definitely a lot more than usual. 2/3 glasses of wine Thursday, 2 bottles of beer Friday, 1 beer Saturday, 2 glasses of wine Sunday and another 3 today. Enjoyed at the time but feel very sluggish and just very meh this evening.

PutOnYourRedShoesAndLetsDance · 01/04/2024 18:01

No.. hate the stuff.

Forgettheworld · 01/04/2024 18:19

Me and DP had a meal out Thursday and shared a bottle of wine. Friday I had none but Saturday and Sunday drank quite a lot. Not had any today because I’m back at work tomorrow and won’t drink now until Saturday.

TrustPenguins · 01/04/2024 18:23

None.

I could have of course, been plenty of opportunity both in and out of home but I'm just not bothered any more. Besides, I'd rather use the calories on food (chocolate especially this weekend!!)

WhatFlavourIsIt · 01/04/2024 18:30

Yep. Between 2 of us since Friday 6/7 bottles of wine 12 beers and a few vodkas. It's been a great weekend, and we are rounding out tonight with a nice bottle of red🍷

BabyBoyBeautiful · 01/04/2024 18:31

Plenty of wine & some beer. I have another bottle of wine for tonight and a bottle of baileys might have accidentally ended up in my trolley earlier🤣
Thankfully I am not back in work until Wednesday so I can enjoy myself for a little bit longer!

Bubblesdublin · 01/04/2024 19:14

5 glasses in total so think that is very good.
