Is this a lot to drink?

[OnSilverStars]

So. DH doesn't drink at home. He doesn't like it. I like wine. I often drink a bottle a week. Sometimes more if we go out or have friends around (back when we could 😭)

So it ends up being 1 or 2 glasses 2 nights a week. Sometimes a cheeky third glass sneaks in but I always regret it in the morning 🤕. This happens about once every few weeks.

Is that a lot?

Not as far as I’m concerned.

No!

No. Although interestingly even drinking an amount that small can put you at higher risk of developing breast cancer. Its really quite astonishingly bad for our bodies!

No

It sounds perfectly normal to me.

Nope I wouldn't say so

Thanks for the responses so far. I was just curious. It feels weird still that I'm drinking one but I just enjoy wine so much! And it's only a couple glasses. I do limit myself to this as I could easily have a glass or two every night! But like a PP said, it's surprisingly bad for us unfortunately!!

Nope. That's hardly anything.

Should say drinking alone!

No, I think that’s a really moderate amount. Maybe have the occasional week off where you don’t drink anything if you’re particularly concerned.

A bottle a week is nothing!

That's about what I'm aiming to cut down to!

That's a low to moderate amount & absolutely fine I would say.

No. Admittedly I am a man but last night was 4 bottles of beer and a whole white wine bottle. Tonight 2 beers, bottle of red and I expect a short. Tomorrow and Sunday the same. And I drink a lot less than my friends

You say you enjoy wine-I LOVE wine, so much I drink 3 bottles a week-maybe more!
So, No it is not a lot.

No. There are 10 units in a bottle of wine, the recommended weekly limit is 14 so I don’t think you’ll be carted off to rehab any time soon, enjoy it & don’t worry!

No. I'm on my 2nd bottle tonight! Let alone this week!

First time I've ever been happy I asked a question in Mumsnet! 😂. Will have that notorious third glass tonight!!

Not at all, enjoy! X

Well I only sniff a small glass of sherry on xmas day and that does me for the year! (I lie, cheers OP )

As in, you've already had a whole bottle and now starting a second?

I guess it depends who you compare with. I only really drink socially so through lockdown I’m hardly drinking - Max One bottle of wine a month or two g&ts a month. In non covid I’d probably drink 2 bottles of wine a month but I’d have the odd month of not drinking at all. Not deliberately but I’m not a big drinker. I love wine but hate hangovers and pointless calories. I also love chocolate but moderate that too.

Yep. Won't have anymore after this one. And I haven't had a drink since last Saturday

What wine is it? I like asti martini which is low alcohol. Are they full gin glasses? I tend to have 3 small cans of g and diet tonic on a Saturday night

I’d be so sick🤢
