To have a Monday wine?

Just that really. Shitty Monday, hard day at work, feel fed up. So when the kids are in bed should I have a nice glass of red with my spaghetti bolognaise?

Depends if you need a clear head tomorrow I guess. Nothing wrong with drinking on a Monday unless you're an alcoholic or about to drive/operate.

I had a large g&t. My WONDERFUL line manager announced today that she's leaving.

Yes I have to agree!

I would say yes, but there was a poster a few years ago on here who came with a similar “cheeky glass of wine” post, and it turned out she was a recovering alcohol and had withheld that info.

So absolutely yes, if the only reason why not is that it’s Monday. No, if you’ve actually got a drink problem and just looking for “yes” answers so as to go back on the booze

Oh nothing like that, no alcohol issues. It'll be 2 glasses max as I have work tomorrow. Just really fancied it

I used to but I have no off switch with alcohol so I don't drink any more. Enjoy it @Flamingogirl08 unless there's a very good reason why you shouldn't!

Do it
Monday Wine is a real thing x

I thought probably unlikely but you never know on here!

Have one for me, I can only find a bottle of champagne and it's not mine 😟

Robin233 · 27/02/2023 20:14

I'm a light weight so for me it's never on a school / work night.

I had a bottle of my favourite German beer, according to the label it's Best Before Aug 2022 but is very good in Feb 2023! Went nicely with my pork stir fry.

I usually have half a glass every night but am trying to have 2 wine free nights as I get awful heartburn now. Poss due to peri menopause. I would hate to have to completely give it up so trying to cut down instead.

Hope you enjoyed OP. I've just had a Monday gin 😊
