Or just do more weight lifting as you lift the bottle more often.....

Pinkynotperky · 04/06/2014 16:46

YABU..... You will need more glasses of the one from the left......

ExitPursuedByABear · 04/06/2014 16:47

Maybe you could keep an eye out for one of these too?

AtYourCervix · 04/06/2014 16:49

And yes! More exercising.

I am truly a bit of a genius.

That's a port glass!

AtYourCervix · 04/06/2014 16:55

In a previous life it might have been a port glass. It now has a new career as my new wine glass.

Hahahaha! Grin

Yes, I suspect it will be about as effective as my tiny cut-glass dessert bowls that I bought for just the same reason.

I just eat three bowls instead.

I have small glasses, doesn't work. you kid yourself you've drunk less, where as you've actually drunk more because you've topped up more times - -am i making sense- -
I tell DH I'm only having one glass, and use the biggest glass i can find :)

Loopylouu · 04/06/2014 17:06

Oh, dh did that with dinner plates. He bought small ones after seeing it as a tip on some diet show.

Didn't work, I just have second helpings.

You could be on to something there cervix. I watched that stupid secret eaters show once and they did an experiment with normal size bags of crisps and sharing packets of crisps. Two different groups of people. The sharing bag group all ate more crisps than the ordinary sized bag group. Theory was that coming to the end of the packet creted a normal stopping point and eating more involved a conscious decision to decide to have more, getting more, and opening the next packet. Whereas for the sharing group the bags were so big they didnt come to a natural stopping point.

Wolfiefan · 04/06/2014 17:10

Glass? Bottle and a straw?!

StealthPolarBear · 04/06/2014 17:15

which one of those is normal sized

ouryve · 04/06/2014 17:15

The wine will probably taste crap out of the small glass (unless it's white) so your plan could well work.

YouTheCat · 04/06/2014 17:16

You need one of those hats with bottles and straws.

Put wine in bottles and go running.

Your running will become increasingly erratic as you drink. Grin

AtYourCervix · 04/06/2014 17:20

I might buy one of those teeny bottles of wine to match it.

And then cry a bit

I really want some wine now.... I drink wine from a mug. I'm a roughian me!

cardibach · 04/06/2014 17:26

I'm trying to resist midweek wine and this isn't helping. I have a big wedding to go to at the weekend - should I drink wine as endurance training for it?

PoirotsMoustache · 04/06/2014 18:23

Yes you should

QuintessentiallyQS · 04/06/2014 18:24

Can you also fit your dinner into the glass on the left?

AnnieIncognito · 04/06/2014 18:26

I am so sick of wine being blamed for weight gain.

Wine is made from grapes.
Grapes are fruit.
Fruit is healthy.
Therefore wine is healthy!

TheReluctantCountess · 04/06/2014 18:27

Do you ow what, it did work for me when I swapped from my bucket to a tiny wine glass.

BalloonSlayer · 04/06/2014 18:31

I once had some glasses I bought from Ikea. I had two glasses of wine from my wine box out of one of my nice new glasses that evening and was so drunk I lay on the floor and couldn't get up again.

The next day, rather chastened, I decided I had better stick to coke. Imagine my surprise when I found I could easily get a whole can of coke into one of my lovely new wine glasses! Mystery solved - I had had more than a bottle of wine in two glasses - more than I had ever consumed in my life before [at that point]. Grin
