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

1 mini bottle of red wine - so is that 1/4 bottle of wine? Had a bit of a headache so didn't add to it (and that's probably over the guidelines). If my head had of been ok I'd have had a few hot ports (cloves, br sugar and water):)

Spuddybean · 26/12/2011 11:08

1 pint of 4% lager, 3/4 a bottle of pink champagne with dinner, 6 cans of 3.5% beer.

Started at 2pm and finished at 12.30am

BellaVita · 26/12/2011 11:10

Had a bottle of champers with sloe gin - started at 10.00am yesterday. My mum had one small glass, dad and I had the rest. Had two glasses of wine with lunch.

HairyGrotter · 26/12/2011 11:13

3/4 bottle of Champagne, 1 whole bottle of Lambrini (classy), 2 pints of Cider, one large glass of Irish cream, and one large glass of Amaretto.

I started at 8am with champagne, smoked salmon and rye bread and finished at 11pm

NinkyNonker · 26/12/2011 11:14

None.

Am pregnant, and felt sick as a dog all day yesterday for some unknown reason and barely kept iced water down. Tentatively feeling a little better today.

Was never a big drinker anyway, so the odd wine/fuzz would have been my limit.

Zombi · 26/12/2011 11:14

Started at 7 and had a bottle of Blossom Hill, a can of beer and 2 shots of Stiffy's. In bed at 1. Up at 6. No hangover!

FabbyChic · 26/12/2011 11:17

RainboweBrite · 26/12/2011 12:16

Most of a bottle of Bucks Fizz, half a bottle of Prosecco and a large Baileys, over the course of the day, from about 11.30 til 22.30.

notveryinventive · 26/12/2011 12:20

I had one small glass at dinner and another later on last night.

I was driving and have a cold so feeling a bit rough anyway. I made an effort with my meal and did plan to have a couple last night once the kids were in bed, but was too tired and couldnt be bothered. Though it got to 11PM and I decided that I would so had another small glass then.

I have now got 2 bottles of open wine in the fridge so will have to drink another glass tonight, shame Xmas Wink Xmas Grin

lubeybaublely · 26/12/2011 12:22

Dolcelatte

2 weeks worth? Shock What's a weeks worth these days for a woman is it 14 or 21 units?

I feel fine, but I did have water and ibuprofen before bed. Then I got up at 6am and had 2 cups of tea before sleeping again til 10am

happydotcom · 26/12/2011 12:24

None!!!

I'm on medication for PND but had a really lovely day with my DH and DS

To make up for lack of alcohol......I seemed to have ate the entire contents of the fridge / leftovers and had 3 mince pies when DS woke for a feed at 5am!!!

duchesse · 26/12/2011 12:25

1 glass champagne in Bucks Fizz at breakfast Blush
1 glass champagne at lunch
1 glass mulled cider
flaming brandy on Xmus pud
1 glass limoncello
1 glass white wine at tea/supper time ish.

Way more than usual. Interspersed with food it didn't feel intoxicating at all.

mayorquimby · 26/12/2011 12:25

ball park of 12 pints or so of beer/guinness.

GreyRosesAreMyFavourite · 26/12/2011 12:27

Skied in the morning. Had a gluwein. Skied a bit better Grin Small glass of sparkling wine and a shared bottle of red with dinner. Baileys after dinner.

moondog · 26/12/2011 12:29

Jesus.
There is some serious alcohol intake going on!! Grin

msbaublestwinkle · 26/12/2011 12:29

1/2 bottle of real ale with lunch. 1.1 unit.

JustAnother · 26/12/2011 12:34

one G&T and one small baylis.

hiddenhome · 26/12/2011 12:39

Only one unit - small glass of wine at lunchtime Sad

I was simply too tired to have any more. Alcohol sends me to sleep.

myalias · 26/12/2011 12:41

1 glass of Buck's fizz
2 glasses of Champagne
1 glass of Sauternes
2 large glasses of Chablis

GnomeDePlume · 26/12/2011 12:43

Through the day:

1/2 bottle of Cava (as buck's fizz)
1/2 bottle of dessert wine
1/2 bottle beaujolais
1/2 bottle chablis
1/2 bottle crozes hermitage

Also lots of tea and soft drinks

This is a lot less than we have had in previous years. No spirits, no port.

KatAndKit · 26/12/2011 12:45

none, apart from a couple of splashes of white wine in my glass of lemonade, so about a tenth of a unit. Only because I'm pregnant though. Normally I'd have drunk plenty on Xmas day!

alistron1 · 26/12/2011 12:46

About 4 glasses of wine/champagne between 11am and 5pm. Then I was on tea Grin

Today will be a bit different though, it's the traditional boxing day clan gathering and will involve mulled wine and gin Wine
