To drink a bottle of wine while cooking tea?

[fber]

It went down so well, daddy was outside with the kiddies, gardening. Noones any the wiser really and I did a cracking roast. I'm certainly more chilled than is normal for this time on a Sunday. What do you think?

worrying that you need to keep it secret from your partner
I agree with Samadi.This is one of the classic signs of an addiction.I think you need to be honest with yourself.

A bottle is a lot. Ok as a one off very, very occasionally. But otherwise way too much.

And I say that as an ex heavy drinker.

If I were drinking (which I'm not at the moment, for weight loss purposes), then a bottle would go down very easily whilst cooking a Sunday lunch. I wouldn't be sober - in fact I might be tipsy enough to ask Mumsnet whether they thought I was being uinreasonable ;) If you're not doing it every night, or even every week, I don't really see a problem there. Hope the head's OK today!

To people saying a bottle isn't that much - it is really. There's 8-9 points in the average bottle of wine. There's 27 points in the average bottle of vodka.

I'd be falling down after a bottle of wine and nasty with it.

Wine is becoming the acceptable face of alcohol dependency

However think it would have been even more enjoyable if you had sat in the garden and drank it with your DH cooking the meal

A whole bottle would make me feel poorly and then fall asleep, and I'm tall and not by any means skinny.

It's not about unreasonableness, it's about your liver.

Are you unhappy OP ?

I only ask as it does seem a lot , a whole bottle and by your own admission you will probably feel shit the next morning , , How old are your Children ? The odd hangover everyone gets but is this regular ? I am not sniping, Im a little concerned,

TeamSouthfield..are you serious? That is very damaging for your partner's liver

I bet the OP is talking about drinking one of those tiny bottles of wine

More reasonable than the people on here equating a bottle of wine with 3 beers! Wine glasses are huge nowadays, beer is actually often the lower alcohol option - most beer bottles will be 1.7 units, vs 1 unit per 125ml glass for even a low-alcohol 8% wine (and to check how small that 'standard' glass is, try pouring what we'd all normally pour for ourselves into a measuring cup!)

OP is probably having more fun than ideal , but it surely isn't that regular if it merits a whole post, right?

I am that you are clearly so young. I would be destroyed if I drank a whole bottle in a day.

Many posters here who are clearly still able to metabolise that amount of booze and recover from it. But that youthful liver may not be your friend. Agree with everyone who says, fine if this is a one-off and a bit of a surprise to you. Not fine if you don't find any big problem in drinking a whole bottle at other times. The fact that it doesn't make you ill at the time doesn't mean that it is safe to do.

And how can you spend three hours cooking a roast dinner? what were you doing, talking to it to keep it calm while it cooked?
