To think that a bottle is a normal portion? Lighthearted

[SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc]

If I drink which isn't that often I always drink the full bottle of wine,it wouldn't occur to me to leave any,to me the bottle is standard.Am I BU? p.s I love wine

I want a glass of wine now and it’s all your fault!!!!

Same, I am craving a nice Sauvignon. May just go to bed early to avoid temptation

Have the 'drink is a demon' brigade shown up yet? That's binge drinking, you know and you will probably drop dead. Or the orthorexics, to cry over the sugar in wine. Sugar is a demon, too.

I'm off the sauce now because of some meds I have to take. Send wine!

I can't do more than two glasses, I'm a lightweight. DH can do two bottles though so there's never any leftovers for my stew 🙄

there's never any leftovers for my stew🙄

I have special cooking wine. Not wasting the good stuff!

White wine (any type) is the worst for disappearing unexpectedly. It must be the chilling process.

I have an unhealthy number of unopened gin bottles in my house. Unhealthy as they're normally empty at this time of the year. What the hell is going on?

I always wonder who uses bottle stoppers, never found a need in our house!

I have cooking wine which Mr P quaffs whilst I take the Stagecoach to Truro peddling the myth he is saving Prudie and Jud from the demon drink.

I once got some bottle stoppers grifter for Christmas for leftover wine.

Most pointless present ever 😂😂

@BIWI hahaha I saw this too! Not one answer came close to how quickly I can polish of a litre of gin. I darent post lol

Wine is scrumptious and shouldn't be overrated! I've def found my people

I can’t drink wine anymore. Wine is for cooking.

My brother and I did drink an entire bottle of gin between us at a wake though a few weeks ago.

Yes! I have found my people.

A bottle of wine is nothing! I could walk a tightrope after it. It’s the second one that finishes me off.

Re the bottle of gin thing. As a kid I always assumed spirits lasted years (after all, why did they have drinks cabinets and trollies?!) but now I’m an adult I realise that a bottle of gin is basically hardly anything at all 😊

Back in the good old days. DH and i would drive 2 hours to a football match. He'd drive and id be swigging straight from the bottle of rose.
Id be a whole bottle down, before we'd even finish the journey, wondering which service station to dump it at. By the time id get to the turnstiles id have a permanent 'wine grin' plastered on mu face Then id get me a pie and beer (what the actual fuck) and wolf it down before finding my seat.

I wouldn't dare do shit like now. Ive changed. Ive grown up. Im a better person....
I pour it in a glass now and the bottle would be in the recycling within about 80 mins of opening

I drank a whole bottle tonight. It was lovely.

A bottle of wine is nothing! I could walk a tightrope after it. It’s the second one that finishes me off.

I honestly think I'd be passed out by the time I was half-way through bottle number 2. I was in Spain recently and bought one of those cheapo 1 liter wine boxes that you get in Spanish supermarkets. I DID manage to drink it all but had an absolutely lethal hangover the next day. Mind you it was complete plonk.

This thread is torture

Day 16 of not drinking. Not quite doing Dry January (didn't start till 7 Jan, and last day will be 27 Jan), but this is a long time not to have a glass or bottle of wine!

A bottle can be a warmer-upper for me. School nights I stick to one bottle and wake up fresh as a daisy. I’ve been dry so have a comparison.

Yes seriously @IcedPurple. Although I haven't done that I a while, maybe a few months before Christmas. I've stopped drinking now though. Pretty much.

@BunsOfAnarchy

The first thing I thought of on reading your post was the often dismal state of ladies' facilities in football stadia! Not much fun after knocking back a bottle of wine!

@Eliza9917

Would you not be conked out before reaching the end of the bottle?

I don't consider myself a lightweight but I reckon I'd be a goner a third of the way through.

I have just found a box of chateau cardboard in the cupboard next to some naice chocolate I was saving for Christmas and totally forgot about.
I love the fact they think it's necessary to print on the box - stays fresh for 6 weeks after opening.
6 minutes more like once me and the girls are stuck in. Are there actually people that manage to make it last 6 weeks?

I like a drink and have something most weekends, but I would really struggle the next day after drinking a whole bottle of wine. I'd be sick actually. It's a shame because I'm sure I'd be fun if I got pissed, like in the olden days.

@IcedPurple, no I wouldn't. I can drink 3 bottles of wine and still get up for work. I've also started on the vodka after I've drunk 3 bottles of wine too.

This is why I've practically stopped drinking.

I’ll drink a bottle if I open one, but try not to do it except for at the weekend. Ideally I’d like them to do litre bottles of decent wine that I can share with my husband, since two large glasses is really enough for me.
