Too much wine?

I've got several bottles of wine which were gifted to me at Christmas.
I live alone and have decided to enjoy them and stop saving them "for an occasion"
I don't drink on weekdays. Is one bottle every weekend too much?

Ooh Dollywide I love a glass of Sancerre! We've managed to run out of wine and I can't get a case delivered until Wednesday. Frankly, I think the country's running on the stuff at the moment.

Whenever posters are factual about alcohol on MN, people get defensive 🤷🏼‍♀️

One bottle over a weekend doesn’t sound excessive to me, but everyone’s tolerance is different. I can’t drink wine at all now as I abused it so much when I was younger. It’s just an occasional beer or two for me these days.

I think that's fine. I'm doing similar.

Personally I wouldn't drink much more than my recommended 14 units, or all of that on one night, as I think it's a good idea to do what I can to keep my immune system in as good nick as possible at the moment.

Oh bless! We’re on bottle 2 here since 12, fizz topped up with rhubarb spirit!

I drank a bottle of Moet to myself on Mother's day... that I had saved from my 50th in the Summer. Why not.. I thought! Enjoy 💐

No, you know it isnt, drink it if you want it.

I always drink every night so I don't see a problem at all. I have a high tolerance and never get drunk or get hangovers. I'd have to drink a lot to get drunk, like well into the early hours. I obviously don't do this often. But I enjoy having drinks in the evening and don't see anything wrong with it.
