A bottle a night too much?

[brassers]

Just that. It has become a habit since lockdown. A bottle of wine over the course of the evening 4-5 nights per week.
AIBU to think it's too much?

It is too much but by God, it’s so easily done! Maybe restrict it to the weekends OP?

No

Way too much imo

5 bottles of wine over 5 days, yes it's far too much

Yes I think that's too much, but that's just my opinion.

Is each bottle just for one person or is it shared?

Yes, that's a lot!

So very easily done! Stop buying it and it’ll soon stop!

Yes, I'd ease off as that's a lot.

If I was drinking that, I wouldn't be firing on all cylinders the next day.

Between two people?

That’s loads. Is that each or between a couple?

Not too much for those of us who don't like the prospect of long healthy lives without liver problems

It is too much but you're not alone OP. I've been the same and realise it's unhealthy. I've been drinking to blot out the constant feeling of anxiety but I need to find a better solution. It's not great but at least you kind of know that. Don't beat yourself up.

Just for me. Yes maybe I'll keep it to Friday and Saturday.
Thanks.

yes too much, your advised weekly unit limit is a bottle and a half so you will be trashing your liver.

I agree, so easily done! I've been limiting myself to no more than half a bottle (2ish glasses) which is a mini victory for me if I am going to drink. I'm working all weekend so won't be having any then and then I'll try and cut down further.

You won't be the only one OP but it is definitely far too much.

Why would the OP not say that it was shared between people, if it was?

You lot, honestly!

Sorry OP but I would be worried that this could possibly the start of alcoholism.
I am not British and I know the norm on alcohol is different in the UK then it is in my country but I think a bottle of wine every night can not be good even from an objective point of view.

Wow, yes that's a huge amount.

14 units a week maximum and five bottles of wine a week is massively exceeding that.

I don't think a bottle in an evening is a huge amount at all. It's only about 9 or 10 units. At first that will get you completely trollied but once you get used to it you will be able to handle it perfectly well.

It's so easily done but that's about 40 units, and NHS guidelines are 14-21 maximum for women. Obviously I'm sure most people have gone over the guidelines at some point but if it's every week, yeah I'd say that's too much.

I'd say it's pretty normal at the moment!

It is too much. Totally understand though.

I have always thought that 14 units a week for women is very low but a bottle of wine to yourself each night is a lot. Having said that, I have a drink problem so it’s all or nothing for me

Way too much. It says there are 10 units in a bottle so 50 units a week and the recommendation is max 14 units.

I’d just not buy any then there’s no temptation.
