Is this amount of alcohol normal?

[Flowerpower23]

I drink a glass of wine or a beer every night after work, to wind down. Is this normal?

I wouldn't say it was normal. But it's not really excessive, if you only have 1. I have 2 glasses of wine 3/4 nights a week so it's much the same, but the 'guidelines' are that you should have at least 2 night a week alcohol free

Thanks @Funkyslippers I do have at least 2 nights free, it’s just a habit I’ve got Michaela into to relax after work, the habit part was worrying me!

@Flowerpower23 depends do you feel like you can't unwind if you don't have a drink?

In that case it's fine. Depends on the size of the glass of course :D

I do the same and was starting to worry as I do feel it helps me wind down and in the afternoon most days I start looking forward to a glass of wine

@dollydimple123 yes exactly, it’s a little routine that I do like before I start the evening jobs and making dinner etc

@Hmum0fthree I wouldn’t be an absolute ball of stress but there is a noticeable difference in the feeling I get from a cup of tea than a glass of wine!
