What time did you start and how many units - honestly - did you consume on the BIG DAY?

2 bottles of Cava and half a pints worth of Margarita. How many units would that be?

Started at 3pm with dinner, finished midnight ish

SanTEEClaus · 26/12/2011 08:04

Started about 2, had one glass of champagne, and I think 3 glasses of wine.

A tiny glass of wine (because it was the dregs in the bottle) and 1 and a half glasses of champagne. Ordinarily Id probably drink a couple if bottles of wine but my sitution is different this year (breastfeeding, co-sleeping etc).

Dolcelatte · 26/12/2011 08:09

lubey, I guess about two weeks worth based on government 'guidelines' - how do you feel today? We started earlier but finished earlier but stuck to champagne/wine. Prompted by another thread where outarge is expressed over 2 guests consuming 2 beers, 1.5 bottles of wine and liqueurs - I did not think that this sounded excessive so was wondering what was the 'norm'!

2 glasses of champagne with my dinner.

That's it.

I'm a grown up, I like the taste of a nice drink but I don't feel the need to punctuate every special occasion with an over indulgence of alcohol.

(yes PILs, I am looking at you!)

Half a glass of wine with lunch (breastfeeding). Planning on mulled wine this evening when DS is in bed.

nomoreheels · 26/12/2011 08:20

Not that much, a few g&ts over the course of the afternoon & then shared a bottle of white wine with DP over xmas dinner at 7 pm. We didn't finish it though, left a glass or so. DD is teething & fractious, & we were knackered as she's up several times in the night & up for good at 5:15 am at the moment. Sad We went to bed at 9, not feeling merry at all. Bah.

Shared a bottle of champagne (turned into Bellinis, so mixed with peach juice) with DM, then shared a bottle of red with DF over lunch. Long gap, then had a large brandy which lasted the evening.

talkingnonsense · 26/12/2011 08:29

Half a bottle of cava, 1/4 bottle of port, and I have a headache this morni g (lightweight).

hazchem · 26/12/2011 08:35

bottle of champagne and a very small glass of red. I started at about 8am and finished at about 9:30pm So 5-6 units over 13 hours.

WhereMyMilk · 26/12/2011 08:43

Nil! Nada. Had PIL up. FIL is a recovering alcoholic-hard slog, but 2years dry now, so don't feel like we should drink and be merry in front of him IYKWIM.

Was badly in need though, especially when my toxic mother turned up

None Sad. The day was so hectic and crappy that not even alcohol could help. .
I have to start anti-B's on tuesday for a week and they're the ones you can't drink with at all.

Had a Bailey's in lieu of milk in my breakfast coffee, then no more till DH popped a Merlot @ 5 to have with dinner, one glass of that which I wasn't keen on. Drank more tea and coffee tbh.

Still feel tired today. Xmas Sad
