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 can drink a bottle of wine without even blinking. No hangover. I can go months without drinking. Then drink a bottle easily. Get up the next day and not feel a thing.

But then I never really got hangovers at Uni. Once or twice I felt a tiny bit rough. Got up had breakfast and off I went to a full day of lectures. No problemo.

According to public health guidance apparently not. But then they also think that 2 bottles a week is less than 95% of women. I guess not enough mumsnetters fill in health surveys......

I mean today’s my birthday and my friend/housemate have cleared our calendars so we’re free tomorrow. I’m sure a lot of our drinks will be one serving/portion tonight 😂

I'm the same with ice cream.

One 1 pint punnet is a portion, surely?

I used to have no problem. These days I have to be careful as a bottle will make me feel rubbish the next day. Very annoying 😭

A bottle of 14% red should be shared (over dinner)
A bottle of 9.5% blush on the other hand? Well, it's basically juice isn't it?

@WTFIsAGleepglorp

But of course
Likewise they only make cheesecake in one one serving size (for one)

I am always terribly disappointed if I have to share

I wouldn’t cope on a normal night I would be drunk and have a hangover. I do like a glass with dinner but can move on to tea or water after without much of a thought. Also it’s expensive, or what we buy is.

My alcohol tolerance is certainly much lower than when I was younger, I am in my 40s now.

Bottle stoppers are for when you buy really cheap wine to "give it a go" and then decide it would be better in cooking and go back to the shop for a decent bottle instead

3 hours later it mysteriously empties itself anyway damned pixies

Can easily sink a bottle on a weekend... try not to drink through the week but if i do usually just a glasd (or one of those 187ml mini bottles).

I love wine... keep trying gin but it's not the same.

You're not trying hard enough

I (and the pixies) can easily do a bottle in a onner... 1 250ml glass while cooking dinner, same while eating, again while on sofa digesting. Do we need a secret MN sign of shame for wine portioning....

I told the doctor the other day that I drank 20 units a week. He seemed to believe me...

Wine makes me vom if I have one glass or five so don’t touch it... an entire bottle of Chinzano on the other hand....

I can do a bottle easily, but these days the hangover is not worth it. Getting old.

Dry Jan for me. Dammit, no weight loss or improvement in crappy sleep yet. Bring on 1st Feb 🍾

Me too Cafe

A bottle is too much ( am a recovering alcoholic )

I still have 2 open bottles of wine in the fridge from Christmas (and before). Somehow only manage to have a glass with a meal, now and again.

When I was in my 20s I’d think nothing or drinking a bottle (or two ) on a Friday and Saturday night. Now a bottle last me at least two nights. I’d have such a hangover if I drank the lot!

I don't have pixies but the dog looks quite rough some mornings... I have told him to lay off the wine but does he learn... No he doesn't

If I drink a bottle of wine I am guaranteed to have a hangover (tested this theory on New Years Eve) Half a bottle is my limit

You need to throw them away, they'll be like vinegar now.

I finshed a bottle of wine to myself over Christmas.
