To think this is too much to drink?

[Crapmummy2016]

When sitting home alone:
3 cans of beer
1/4 to 1/2 bottle of red wine ( I'm not sure how much was left)
1/2 glass of Amaretto ( this was ridiculous it was at least 3 pub measures)

Also to add that whoever said its stressful living with someone with a drink problem is right! Sometimes you can have a drink together and have a nice night, other times the person will end up going overboard, and you never know when it will be.

DH would tell you I'm just " boring".

mother I think it's a case of knowing your limits. For me that's anything that would put me into a sleep where I might be unable to hear ds if he wakes at night. For me that's more than two glasses of wine which would be enough to make me feel a bit cloudy the following day. The only time we both might let our hair down together is when we go out for an evening alone and family are babysitting. That said, my aunt drank a bottle of wine when she was babysitting ds recently. I've seen my aunt after a bottle of wine and know she would be very difficult to wake, so I wasn't too impressed tbh but couldn't say anything as she was doing us a favour. It's not that she'd have been unable to drive or that there might have been a fire, but ds often has night terrors and she wouldn't have woken and been there for him. Alcohol is a big part of my family and tbh it's quite unhealthy in a number of them (dad, dsis, aunt, bil). It's always been treated as normal and sociable to get together and drink but the number of family arguments that have been sparked by alcohol over the years suggests it's neither normal nor healthy.

I think that this amount is probably fine in itself. I never have a single drop and drive so would need a taxi should anything happen. I like a drink alone sometimes and may have a bottle of wine. I wouldn't be drunk but could absolutely look after my children in any situation. It's nothing to do with building up a resistance as I frequently go a couple of months without a drink.

If you're enjoying it then nothing wrong with a nightcap. Especially as you were then home. Isnt Amaretto served as a 50ml measure so a triple. Think you drink it in 'pub' measures?

I see no issue with this incident.
