To have just drank a whole bottle of Sauvignon Blanc before 5pm...

[Kalopsia77]

on a Wednesday?!

My kids are away, I've taken a couple of days annual leave to get over a gum infection rather than be off sick and I'm home alone. I just watched the whole second series of Happy Valley, did no housework at all and drank a bottle of wine.

Is that bad?

noeuf I would totally share the fizzy with you

Result kalopsia77 😄

You can't beat an edamame and quinoa salad with a full bottle of plonk, followed by a kit Kat chunky and a peanut Lion bar.

I do it regularly, fortunately I am not obese or alcoholic, at least I don't think I am but in my drunken stupor I could be both and not realise.

Do green smoothies actually help with hangovers? I mean, in theory they should, but when I feel all queasy and dizzy the thought of pureeing an avocado makes me feel even worse

Totally fecking jelouse!

28 weeks pregnant with no booze make me misrable

imagine it's white and bubbly though, not boring old red.

queenbean I have bacon in the fridge for tomorrow if I can't face the smoothie

That sounds bloody lovely i would be zonked by now though

well OP you'd need a bottle to watch Happy Valley

I mean, it was brilliant, but really quite emotionally demanding, esp the last 2 episodes.

The line "it's just because he's pretty" - so simple, so true and so much the reason for so many wrecks of relationships.

apologies for going off track, I'll go and ponder storylines in my head. Hope you feel better asap!

Lorelei76 totally agree, that line was so true and thought provoking. I watched Series 1 yesterday (without the daytime binge drinking!) and the whole thing blew me away, I do love a good gritty drama and Sarah Lancashire is just astonishing (I'm old enough to remember her as Raquel Watts in the early 90's) Proper good telly!

Sounds like a dream day to me! Happy Valley was so good I almost pee'd my pants. Wine to go with? Perfection.....

The cava is no more. I have three bottles of fancy gin, loads of tonic and lemon in the fridge and seriously tempted to conveniently forget about tomorrow. I'm so bad at being a grown up

I'd steer away from moving onto gin OP, that will really give you a banging headache tomorrow on top of 2 bottles of wine.

OH got on the gin the other weekend with gay abandon, and my god was he sick..all night..grim.

My sisters keeper is just starting on film 4 +1 so I shall be blubbing into my bucket o' wine from here on in...

Also I have to say... I am super impressed with kalopsia77 ability to compose perfectly sober sentences!

Stay away from the gin if you are watching that

Funko I'm watching and weeping and wining.
Op go for it, why not just phone in sick tomorrow?

My children all flew the nest a couple of years ago - but oh! I remember those rare days of complete freedom when they were little, and off to visit granny 200 miles away for a couple of days, with their Dad. (I was a SAHM and DH was very considerate, completely understanding that it was a chance for me to recharge - and let granny be a hands on granny - which she loved. How perfect was that!?)
A nice chilled bottle of white was the first thing on the menu providing it was gone lunchtime - and it always had a wondrous effect on me. It made me really enthusiastic to do some housework - a scrub and a slurp, a slurp and a scrub. Halfway down the bottle I could even face the grimy shower plug. It felt like I powered through it. For me, Pinot certainly oiled the wheels of industry. And then I would order my favourite curry to be delivered and eat it watching telly. Of course I felt hungover the next day but I didn't care because my house was pristine clean, and I knew it would remain so for another day or two and I could float about with absolutely no responsibility for anything or anyone Oh what unfettered joy that was!
I agree that it is the second bottle that does the hangover damage.
If it's sitting there in the fridge, and it's calling out to you, what can you do? Open it and have just ONE more glass? Good luck with that then.
OP you are VDNBU. I can have wine whenever I like now, to nobody's detriment, so I tend not to. It's the sheer joy of having no responsibility
that makes you take your foot off the brake. Enjoy it while you can XX

Yabu fir using the word drank (it's drunk) and yabu or binge drinking .

Fascinated to see how long posters continue to encourage the OP for...

OP you sound like you may work in my office! I am also child-free tonight. Opened a bottle of the very same wine as soon as I walked through the door, and may or may not have had marmite on toast for tea whilst enjoying the Olympics!
