Would you drink a bottle of wine and drive the next day?

[HalfWayAroundTheLoop]

Sunday - one bottle of wine between 2pm and 5pm
Monday - driving at 8am

I ate a chocolate liqueur, will I be able to drive next week.

No, I've never drunk a bottle of wine.

Yes I know thats not usual.

These responses are why alcohol is such a issue/problem

This is the alcohol equivalent of we share 6 fish fingers and one baked potato among 4-we’re enormous eaters! Obviously I only have 1…..

Yes, I would, but not if I had been drinking after 8pm or so

You appalling piece of drunken humanity! I looked at a sherry bottle in Waitrose and have reported myself to the police for sitting in the passenger seat of a moving car a fortnight later. Where is your moral compass?

Exactly this.

I feel sorry for the liver of some posters on here to be honest. (Although I'm sure some posters will fall over themselves to say their liver is fine and perfectly healthy.) 🙄

And it's really not THAT unusual to have never drunk a full bottle of wine in one sitting. Many people couldn't drink that much. (And don't.)

But you're right, the posters LOLing and cheering each other on, and laughing at each others 'hilarious' responses like it's one big joke, are the reason why alcohol is such a problem.

The fact that some posters on this thread can't see necking a bottle of wine in one sitting, (in the afternoon,) is a bit much, proves that they are in denial.

My post here will also be mocked and laughed at. I don't care. I'm not the one who is in denial about how much I drink, and how damaging it can be.

Has it occurred to you that as long as people are not drinking and driving their denial and state of their liver is of absolutely no concern to you?
I hope you don't engage in anything remotely unhealthy and you are a paragon of virtue at all times?

Ofgs, there is absolutely nothing wrong with not drinking or sticking to one etc but it is laughable to say you’d be hospitalised (barring an actual health condition) on a bottle of wine. The OP asked a question, one that was answered through medical fact but whenever there is a thread about alcohol it brings out all the people who want to brag about how little alcohol would get them off their faces/hooked up to life support and accuse anyone who has a bit more of being an in denial alkie who drives around over the limit.

If it were red wine I’d be fine, I can drink it like juice. If it were white wine, I’d need to be in hospital. People are different!

The OP was asking could they drive (or could you drive) after a bottle of wine, not your opinion of them drinking a bottle of wine.

I have no problem with someone drinking a bottle of wine but I would have a problem with drink driving. I think pretty much everyone thinks this is enough time for the alcohol to be out of OP's system and so they could legally drive.
Only they know, however, if it would be safe for them/hangover/tiredness, etc.

I see OP decided not to - seems a strange situation that the only options were a whole bottle of wine or no alcohol. I would probably have had a glass or two and left it at that.

Lol I'd be the opposite red wine blows my head off, it's so heavy!

A bottle of white wine is nothing to me to be honest, I'm a seasoned drinker but that's another issue. I just fancied it this afternoon but talked myself out of it and deliberately left my purse at home when I went out earlier.

I take drink driving extremely seriously and I knew the anxiety would kick in the second I finished drinking all the way to tomorrow morning including waking up throughout the night. It just wasn't worth it.
