AIBU to look forward to my 5pm glass of vino and escape to the kitchen away from my 3 DC's for an hour?

no, I'm joining you today.

Though thankfully littlemad is being a star for a change.

Cheers

YABU... 6pm is surely when the 'sun is over the yard-arm'!

5! you lush

Oh I wish! :o

Ive been on it since 5 too. Though my motto is 'its always 5pm somewhere', so Im pretty lack with wine times

Chil1234 - funny to hear that expression, I thought my dad was the only person who still said that 7pm is wine o'clock around here, but only because that's when DH comes home and otherwise he'd think I'd been drinking all day

You enjoy!!

I can't yet - I've got some driving to do before then so I'm looking at 9.30 when Not going out comes now.

Can I just add I don't then carry on drinking through the evening, just a glass or two to wind down with in the kitchen ...hic

7 pm for me too That's when my dd goes to bed. A blissful moment as the first gulp of wine reaches a very dry spot...

Oh you can please yourself if you carry on or not!
I'm not one to mind

Do you have a drink every night? Not judging, just interested..

No, probably three or four nights a week, usually a glass, sometimes two

Why is that bad?

That is meant to read 'why? Is that bad ? '

Wine o clock is at 5 for me too

YANBU

sips mint tea virtuously

Its February
Im not drinking

We've run out of wine... I'm reading this with my tongue hanging out!

Not bad at all! Makes me feel better for knowing i'm not the only one

babygiraffes. I'm on the wagon tonight too because the builder's coming over to explain something to me and I will have to con cen trate.

6 o clock is wine o clock here.
I'm the same - I truly love my early evening snifter, but don't carry on all evening. A glass or two is just the thing to keep me sane.

If I had a glass of wine at 5pm or 6pm I'd never get dinner on the table or the children to bed! And I love a glass of wine as much as the next person. I try only to drink at the weekends though: a medium glass of wine (175ml) contains approx 2 units, so 2 a night would put you over the recommended maximum alcohol units for women of 14 units a week (I think some sources suggest 21 units but even so, that would be exceeded too).

Unfortunately, despite my good intentions, I think I drank all my units for last week last Friday evening at a school social event.

When I do drink its not until I settle down with the telly at around 9pm. I'm like Fayrazzled, I wouldnt get anything done if I drank earlier.

Am about to have a fruity herbally tea. Off alcohol and oddly enjoying it.

I might get less done, but I'm pretty cheerful about it!
