Do you ever think “fuck it, I’m having wine and I shall finish the bottle?”

[Ourdearoldqueen]

Because today, I have.

there is generally a bottle of red on the go in the fridge which gets thrown into cooking stuff and a bottle of white that is nipped at through the week, and an emergency bottle of fizz for unexpected celebrations.

There may well be a couple of random beers/ciders in the drawer at the bottom.

Today, I clipped the car, DC1 smashed my best trifle dish, the dick neighbours returned from holidays and gave out about the hedge which is their fecking problem and then the iron blew up. Up. Bang.

I’ve finished the bottle. Fuck it. AIBU?

I don't think you had any other alternative.

Often, OP... far too often!

Absolutely.

One for a good day & two for a bad.

I don’t know you but feel we would be friends!

Very often- I wouldn't want it to go off!

I had a week full of horrors so to make it up to.myself, on Friday night I.sank into the sofa with a.glass.of wine, a box of violet creams, and a recording.of 'Casablanca'.
Bliss.

I didn't think people kept red in the fridge? 🤔

Red wine kept in the fridge is very nice actually. Especially in this hot weather.

Never. It’s not good for you to drink that much.

But why is your red wine in the fridge?

YABU.

My very wise grandmother used to say that you should drink champagne when you are down because it cheers you up.

So you should have finished the champagne first.

YABU to keep red wine in the fridge. Unless it is one of the French ones designed to be drunk chilled.

There's always one.

It doesn't do any harm as long as its not an everyday occurrence.

Even once or twice a week doesn't breach the (arbitrary and without any evidence based justification) safe drinking guidelines.

I never have leftover wine 😅

I don’t even drink and have had a bottle of champagne in my cupboard for a year that an employer gifted me . Last night I had the strange urge to drink the whole thing 😂

don’t worry I didn’t even open it 😆I haven’t drank alcohol in about 3 years except a few baileys hot chocolate last winter so I decided it wouldn’t be wise and I’d regret it.

I’m not exactly a model for healthy living lol but I already have enough my own bad habits -high sugar consumption being one of them, not adding alcohol to the mix lol

I do it far too often too (also, once wine is open, it starts to oxidise and is definitely not drinkable after more than a couple of days - if that's not a valid excuse I do not know what is).

Red wine. In the fridge! 😮😮😮 I know this isn’t AIBU, but YABVVVU for the crime against humanity that is putting red wine in the fridge.

Yeah if I’m opening a bottle of wine I’m drinking it all, no questions asked.

Never but only because I don't drink.
No moral reason, just don't like the taste of it.

Sometimes after a stressful/eventful day, I do think it'd be nice to have a drink and unwind.
Alas, I make do with a sparkling water 🤣

Yes, I firmly believe it goes off if left and not finished off after being opened🤣.

However, another who is utterly mystified at red wine and fridge being in the same sentence?

We've just moved house (v v stressful), I think between the two of us we have consumed 11 ish bottles of wine since Thursday last week.....
I am on holiday so if I was in a sunny all inclusive I would drink the same! I'll cut back down a bit when I'm back in work next week.

I’m not tea total and hats of to @Ourdearoldqueen of that’s what she wants to do! Sometimes it’s needed.

But come on we know more and more via research that alcohol is really not good for us. We make decisions despite that and it’s fine, we live our own lives.

I’d like to but the next day would be a complete write off.

Spreading your allowance over the week, is far better for you.

Yep, I’m in a grump with my tween/teen kids for being a bit ungrateful and miserable on a trip to London today. I’m sulking in the garden and have just found half a bottle of wine that I might drink all of! They can find their own tea.
