I worked out by drinking my normal amout last night, and then measuring the remaining wine this morning in a jug then calculating the differerence (I know, I know - anal or what..!) then going on an alcohol calculating thing that I had 25cl of wine last night which equalled 3 units - which is standard for me and rarely deviates unless I am out out. I mean that's OK isn't it? I have the odd night off - not regularly but when I feel like i want a night of soft drinks and ovaltine etc. I recently had full blood/urine tests done and everything was fine, liver, cholesterol, kidney, insulin levels, iron. I was delighted of course. I told the Doc my alcohol intake and she didn't even raise an eyebrow so can it really be doing me any harm? I question it because there is so much stuff said about drinking and it freaks me out. My Mum is 84 and has drunk wine every night for as long as I can remember and she is in fine fettle. I also walk an hour daily wiht the dogs and workout 3-4 times a week. Does this impact bad habits positively?
