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

About 2 bottles of wine - would have had more but we ran out of gin!

Oh and a brandy coffee and a large brandy - in a just over 12 hour mid day to mid night period

Am breastfeeding a 9 month old so sort of timed my drinks around feed

You know, morning feeding, champagne (always have it with breakfast at christmas)

Lunch feed, more champagne.

Then a few hours later and a glass of wine with meal.

Then put baby to bed and another glass of champagne

hazchem, don't mean to single you out, but you said:

"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."

Doesn't champagne have the same number of units as white wine?

It's funny how different perspectives can be- I was just thinking how modest most people's consumption is. Mind you, I am coming from a background of if my DP drank less than 2 bottles, it was quite modest!!

LadyBeagleBaublesAndBells · 26/12/2011 13:15

I had a whole bottle of Cava and numerous Baillies. Started about 10.30 am, in bed by 10, but I ate loads too.

LondonMumsie · 26/12/2011 13:16

1/2 bottle bubbly, nearly 1/2 bottle of white (over twelve hours)

DorcasBouvier · 26/12/2011 13:17

2 glasses of Bucks Fizz with breakfast, then the rest of the bottle of champagne and half a bottle of Cava throughout the day. Then a big glass of Baileys at bedtime.

1 glass of wine - breastfeeding and it wasn't very nice

2 modest glasses of champagne with lunch.
2 small glasses of port in the evening.

It was a very modest year on the alcohol front!

WTAF · 26/12/2011 14:08

Nothing til lunch, then just under 2 bottles of prosecco between 1.30pm and midnight. It got late and it was either drink the last glass or go to bed. And I chose bed! Must be growing up Wink

None today yet, got a 2.5 hour drive in a minute, but there will be cocktails waiting at the other end Grin

1/2 bottle of Baileys Christmas Eve
1/2 bottle of Baileys Christmas Day

Last time i had an alcoholic drink was in the Summer. One glass of pink champagne, before that New Years Eve, one Bacardi and diet Coke.

I love food more than i do alcohol.

Bonsoir · 26/12/2011 14:24

Christmas Eve: one glass of wine with lunch, one glass of champagne with dinner. Christmas Day: one glass of champagne with lunch. Nothing since, but there are two bottles of prosecco in the fridge for tonight.

Hulababy · 26/12/2011 14:28

3 glasses of fizz earlier in day
Half bottle of champagne in afternoon/with dinner

That's itf for me yesterday. Normally would drink more tbh but we didn't drink opening pressies this year and I felt too tired by the evening - full of cold.

However, have family visiting later this afternoon and I suspect we will drink more today. Plus not taking lots of cold meds today.

Groovee · 26/12/2011 15:45

I had around 15mls of Midori mixed with appletise and had 2. I was on soft drinks the rest of the time. Am really exhausted today and alcohol on my meds can make me hyper. Dh had 4 cans and about 7 glassed of wine.

thegirlwithnoname · 26/12/2011 15:54

None, I dont drink. I can't be bothered.

DoMeDon · 26/12/2011 15:55

I bottle of Bucks Fizz (3 units), 2 bottles of Cava (17 units) - from about 9.30am to 10.30pm. A really light year and feel better for it Xmas Smile

SantasHat · 26/12/2011 16:02

None. I don't drink any more. Cheaper and a lot healthier.
Why pay out good money to feel ill? Xmas Confused

FanjoForTheReindeerJumper · 26/12/2011 16:02

20 units is light? Blardy hell

DoMeDon · 26/12/2011 16:04

For a whole day Fanjo Xmas Wink- I can drink 2 bottles with dinner!?

TrinityRhino · 26/12/2011 16:04

2 glasses of bucks fizz with lunch

2 glasses of pretend baileys after tea

NettoHoHoHoSuperstar · 26/12/2011 16:07

3 cans of lager in the afternoon.

headinhands · 26/12/2011 16:08

Started at 8pm, then had 2 glasses of white and 2 pina coladas, Christmas tradition here so felt obliged. Grin

LadyBeagleBaublesAndBells · 26/12/2011 16:09

It is Christmas after all, a time to indulge Xmas Grin, who's counting units?
After NY we all get back to normal (or at least I do)

Flanelle · 26/12/2011 16:11

Two glasses of prosecco while coking and eating lunch.
