To have a drink

So just to start with, I rarely drink any other time of the year. I don’t do “nights out” anymore because as I have gotten older, my body doesn’t react well to large amounts of alcohol. I have a few if I’m on holiday or a couple if I’m out for a meal but other than that I don’t tend to bother.

I had a couple of drinks of Christmas Eve, a glass of Buck’s Fizz on Christmas Day morning then a couple at my parents while I was having Christmas dinner. I plan to have a couple of glasses of wine on New Year’s Eve as I love staying up watching the countdown😄

DH went to play golf with a couple of his friends this morning, he’ll probably be back around 4 o’clock. I have a bottle of Prosecco in fridge that a friend got me for Christmas and I was thinking of having some today. I’m fortunate that I have a job where I have 2 weeks off at Christmas so to me it’s still Christmas!

WIBU to have some? I feel like it’s wrong but at the same time I’m still in Christmas mode😬

Do you want to drink it now or this evening?

I'm not a day drinker personally but after lunch seems a bit more respectable!!

@hopeishere I was thinking around 2ish when I’ve done my tidying/cleaning

It's entirely up to you OP. I don't drink but when I did day drinking ruined me for the rest of the day. However if you can handle it then have a drink.

If you fancy a glass or a bottle just have it if you’re still in Christmas mode.

Unless there is something that you're not telling us, of course you can have a drink if you would like one!

Enjoy ☺️

Thanks everyone! I think it’s because I don’t really drink any other time is why I’m questioning! I guess I’m doing no harm in having a couple of glasses to relax🤷🏻‍♀️
