To have a drink every night over half term!

[WishIWasAStar]

Single parent, been away for a few days with the little delights, was on my hols so 2 glasses of wine a night. Back home now, its Wednesday, normally only have a few glasses of wine on weekends inc Thursday (!), but oh gawd do I fancy a glass of wine. Should I?

You could, but you’d probably feel tired and a bit shit until the next evening’s drinks... and so on and so on.

It's not every day every week! Have a glass if you so desire.

I would (if I wasn't pregnant), but Mumsnet would probably class me as an alcoholic so 🤷

I pretty much have I'm away on holiday so making the most of it.

I don't usually drink at all in term time and I'm.not having a lot but it's nice to be able to let your hair down.

I would. It’s half term so theoretically still on holiday. Get back to normal next week

Go for it OP

Ha ha, I'm a teacher and I always cave in and have a drink every night of half term! It's celebratory and cheering, even if I don't feel as perky the next day as I could. Cheers!

I have several drinks every evening so

Had the same predicament myself this evening OP. The wine won.

I have a high tolerances don't get drunk and don't get hangovers. (I'd have to drink a lot to get drunk or get a hangover).

I drink every night whatever.

I cant even imagine asking this question!

Ha ha, I'm a teacher and I always cave in and have a drink every night of half term!

Me too, I'm just enjoying a bottle of Wye Valley honey and ginger mead In fact now I think about it, it's positively medicinal since I have a cold so maybe I will have to have one tomorrow too.

I barely drink these days (you’ve undoubtedly had more this week than I have in the last couple of years) but even I think you should.

@marashino I think you should. It is a service to the children, ultimately, so that you are well enough to return after half term.

bottoms up then chaps

You'll soon get the brigade that state if you even sniff wine twice a week you're an alcoholic, so get that wine open before they turn up!

I had 4 large g&t last night and if I had any left I'd be doing the same tonight.Enjoy!

I am. I’m on my 2nd this evening already. Mumsnet thinks you’re an alcoholic if your yearly intake exceeds one small sherry on Xmas eve though.

That's tough. I suppose I do owe it to them though so if you insist then I'll reluctantly go and buy more.

I only drink maybe once sometimes twice a week, couple glasses of wine or spirits. Maybe a a few more on bigger nights out.

However on holiday I do tend to drink more and most days eg glass of wine after sightseeing. Or visiting the pub as it's raining while in the lakes. It's a bit of a treat and part of the holiday I don't do it when on leave at home though.

Its not like you are drinking loads but you probably soon will be feeling the effects of it every day and will be ready for a break!

We’re away with our DS and I may have indulged in a couple of cocktails before heading back to our room

Do it!

You mean you haven’t started yet today? It’s half term so a holiday so go for it
