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!)

Just poured the fourth homemade bucks fizz. Bailey's coffee for breakfast. Lots of water in between!

pointythings · 25/12/2024 15:41

Nothing yet, won't have anything til 5-ish and won't have more than I normally would on a weekend. But that's because my late husband was an alcoholic and so I am a lightweight.

What I do have will be treat level though.

2 x bucks fizz,2x red wine, coffee and mint baileys. I'll have some gin this evening

spuddy4 · 25/12/2024 16:00

None. Got a 3am alarm set for work tomorrow morning so I'll wait until tomorrow night to have a few.

Boredlass · 25/12/2024 16:05

A glass of wine with dinner. I will absolutely be having more. It’s Christmas and I enjoy it

cozycat1 · 25/12/2024 16:10

3 x glasses Champagne. Hubby had one and beer so far. Fanta with xmas dinner. Will have another glass or maybe even finish the bottle of champers throughout rest of today.might mix it both fresh grapefruit.

Coffee first thing this morning

Two glasses of Bucks Fizz when cooking Christmas Dinner

A pint of water because I felt a bit dehydrated!

A glass of red wine with Christmas Dinner

A peppermint tea after Christmas dinner

Just having a Baileys now then will have some more water

Guests arriving this evening and I won't count but I'd guess two or three glasses of fizz.

Berga · 25/12/2024 16:31

Two glasses of bucks fizz this morning, a glass of white wine whilst cooking dinner, two glasses of prosecco with dinner, and we just had a shot of limoncello post dinner.

I'll probably drink more wine this evening 😁

Pascha · 25/12/2024 16:55

A mouthful of a disgusting berry gin liqueur which has been promptly chucked down the sink, and a mouthful of red wine in preparation for dinner in a few minutes.

I'll have some more wine and maybe a tot of whiskey later.

edwinbear · 25/12/2024 17:06

2 small glasses of white wine with lunch. Will have a glass of champagne before dinner (we have our turkey in the evening), probably one or two more glasses of wine with dinner. It’s a lot less than I would have had a few years ago and I feel much better for it.

Onlyvisiting · 25/12/2024 17:07

Tea, coffee and lilt so far. Might splash out and have some apple juice with dinner layer 😅

Purplecatshopaholic · 25/12/2024 17:10

No alcohol here - sad non-drinker, lol. Fancied a virgin mimosa but couldn’t even find a bottle of nosecco at the shops yesterday so it’s diet lemonade for me. Please do have a large one (or two) for me though, lol. Did used to drink when I was married (probably says it all), stopped around the time I got divorced..

Itsaswelltime · 25/12/2024 17:16

@Uricon2 Just seen your kind message, thank you. I was a bit gutted as we had saved and splashed out on the Champagne as a treat, I missed it this morning as unable to travel to my family where we always have a Champagne breakfast on the 25th (yes, I realise this means I have lived a charmed life!)

UmbrellaEllaEllaElla · 25/12/2024 15:09

None for me. Normally on Christmas I would have a drink but I've had a sickness bug for 3 months so not touching it.

THREE months @UUmbrellaEllaEllaElla 😳🥺

Dancetildawn · 25/12/2024 17:33

2 coffees
2 lemsip
2 waters

Would usually have started with a Buck's Fizz late morning followed by champagne but we're both suffering from the Christmas cold that's doing the rounds.

Dh managed to force down a beer just now and I'm about to open a bottle of Chablis to see if I can do likewise!

I don't drink huge amounts nowadays ..(thanks menopause) but would have liked to enjoy the champagne I've been gifted.

RobinEllacotStrike · 25/12/2024 21:51

2 x Prosecco
2 x Negronis

Yum.
