Full bottle of wine in two hours

[YoMrWhiteYall]

DH has just drank a full bottle of red wine to himself in 2 hours.

AIBU to think this is excessive??

It doesn't sound excessive unless it's a regular thing. I do that about three times a year. I don't drink at all apart from that though

Yeah, it sounds excessive but not Keith Richards excessive.

Is he being a dick?

Two bottles. 🤣🤣🤣

this Nails it for you op, this poster had to double it. The cringe is strong on this.

Casually sipping my 4th glass reading this sorry OP, unless there's a backstory to this, IMO YABU.

It’s not excessive, no. What’s the real issue for you?

For me drinking a bottle of wine on a Tues would be more unusual than the 2 hours. I might have a glass mid week but not normally a bottle.

If he is on annual leave or birthday or something then 2 hours for a bottle of wine is quick but not unheard of.

My first thought was "easily done..."

What on earth has that got to do with it?

I drank a bottle of rose at a campsite in 2 hours the other week and then a bottle of red and 2 beers the next night. It was lovely and fun and I am definitely not a problem drinker.

Ffs. To hear some on here it's like he's trying out for the George best all comers challenge Cup.

Once a week? No

I'd struggle to do a bottle of wine in two hours. Neither of us drink very much though so if my partner did a bottle in 2 hours I'd definitely be surprised.

If he drinks a lot at the weekend as well then it's a reasonable assumption that he's drinking too much.

People are weird about drinking, especially wine, it's got this sort of societal safety net around it that if you question it you're labelled a puritan; but then I don't really get on with the "I've had a terrible day so I need a drink" ethos either. When you start needing a drink to relax, it's time to stop 🤷🏼‍♀️

I mentioned this to DH, who agreed with my take. Probably fine. Context matters.

He then told me about the time him and two friends were given a bill after two hours in the pub, 5pm to 7pm, for twenty four pints of Stella, or exactly eight each before they headed home, so he’s maybe on the heavier side when it comes to the occasional “quick drink after work.”

Lol the last thing I am is jealous, I don’t miss alcohol at all. Just wish I’d stopped sooner.

Yup

That's impressive. Eight pints of Stella in two hours, that's about 20 units......
And also means drinking a pint every 15 mins.
And presumably not puking or weeing on the train on the way home.

Erm, no.

If he is being a dick then that is the issue. Wether he drank the wine quickly or slowly doesnt matter. He is drunk and annoying and that is not ok.

I wouldn’t expect to be told off by my partner for drinking a bottle of wine. I’d expect him to say something if I did it most nights though.

Jealous of what? His capacity for liquid? Ah yes, I've often been impressed by a persons ability to drink liquid semi-quickly. I've wiled many an eve desperately wishing I had the same level of ability.

A bottle of wine is 9-10 alcohol units. That is quite a large amount of alcohol in one sitting. Is this a one off or regular thing? I might drink that amount say during a special occasion/one off socialising but would not say that it is a normal or healthy amount to consume!

I could easily do that (which is why I’m currently doing a 30 day sober with a view of becoming teetotal)

So I guess the real issue is that he’s a cunt when drunk. As predicted he started another argument last night - which is a common occurrence when he’s been drinking heavily (and no it wasn’t over me questioning the wine). I went to bed, he stayed up until late. I got up this morning to find that he’d opened the kitchen window wide before coming to bed and never shut the fucking thing … anyone could have got in

Maybe you should’ve made that the topic of the thread then.
