I’m two glasses of Prosecco in but making me sleepy rather than perking up’ think will have a wine with dinner then that’s my lot (lightweight these days!)

I desperately want one but DH has drunk them all.

I rarely drink and even less these last few months (cancer).

I only drink wine and I love a glass or two of Champagne on special occasions (Christmas, birthdays…mine was 2 weeks’ ago so my drink today would have been for that too.)

DH and I opened to Bucks Fizz this morning at 9am. Then another two glasses with the neighbours after a dog walk. Now on a glass of Prosecco while the buffet cooks 🥂

Two alcohol free kopparberg I'm two years sober on Jan 2nd.
I really would love to have an alcoholic drink but I'm a recovering alcoholic and don't want to ruin my sober streak

Fireworknight · 25/12/2024 13:16

None unfortunately. I’m in the poorly brigade .

@Fireworknight thank you! Get well soon. I hope you're having a relaxing Christmas

AdviceAdvice123 · 25/12/2024 13:18

Im halfway through a small glass of wine. Will probably have three total by this evening. More than I’ve drunk in years.

safetyfreak · 25/12/2024 13:19

Just started on my first snowball of the day, advocaat and sparkling wine.

Two Lemsips & an orange juice so far.

You are going wild!! Hope you feel better soon!

greglet · 25/12/2024 13:20

Half a bottle of Cava so far (as Buck's Fizz). Will have red wine with lunch, then some Aberfalls whisky cream later and maybe a whisky as a night cap 🥃 🍷 🥂 hic

ShortyShorts · 25/12/2024 13:24

2 teas and currently drinking an orange and passion fruit J20.

Will have a wine spritzer with my dinner and then hit the booze around 8pm I expect.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 25/12/2024 12:46

I’ve had two cups of tea so far! Planning to have many more.

Yep me too

notwittywithusernames · 25/12/2024 13:26

Cooking dinner for 7 at my parents. They don't drink wine some I'm on my 2nd highball glass of Prosecco. Feeling a bit 🤪 might have to slow down 🤣

Merry Christmas everyone I hope you all have a lovely day x

gingercat02 · 25/12/2024 13:27

2 coffees, a pint of water, and a bottle of champagne (between 3 of us)
Red wine with dinner late afternoon and then whatever we fancy in the evening.

susieguert · 25/12/2024 13:29

Nowt. Gave up at the end of the summer. Never looked back. I did have a bit of a problem tbf, needed to happen.

BCBird · 25/12/2024 13:30

Another one having copious amounts of tea. Might crack open a bottle of sparkling water later😄

Heh I was thinking the same Grin

ILikePotatoes · 25/12/2024 13:31

Zero. I have a diabetic child so I’m on kid support while the other half drinks and I will have a few tomorrow.

Indianajet · 25/12/2024 13:32

Currently drinking coffee with a shot of bourbon in it - medicinal as I have a cold. On my own so will probably just have one glass of something later.

sprigatito · 25/12/2024 13:33

I'm having a tot of cassis, DH and my dad are having honey liqueur and ds1 is having chartreuse. Lots of bottles of liqueur as gifts so we're having an impromptu tasting session! We usually have Buck's Fizz, but we will probably start on that in an hour or so when we start the dinner prep (dinner is at 7pm this year because ds2 is working).

didntlikethis · 25/12/2024 13:34

I have a medical condition which means I can't drink alcohol this year ☹️ A sniff of DH's champagne is the best I could do.
Bottoms up to all of you who can enjoy a tipple though 🥂

EllaPaella · 25/12/2024 13:34

One glass of Bucks fizz at breakfast. I'll have some prosecco before dinner then red wine with dinner and a port with the cheese course.

Seeing this I really wish MNHQ had included a hug emoji with the changes but have this (())

Would also send you my champagne if I could. Flowers

Nothing alcoholic

FuckItItsFine · 25/12/2024 13:40

Five coffees so far!

Will have a couple of Amaretto and Cokes later.
