Why did I drink 2 bottles of wine!

[Isitchristmasyett]

So, I was making a Sunday roast yesterday, opened a bottle of wine and before I knew it 2 had gone! This is not a regular occasion and don’t think I have ever done that before. It was over the course of about 6 hours but I am paying for it today.

can anybody else manage 2 bottles?

Funny I should see this thread. I drank a whole bottle of red wine last night and boy do I regret it. I had horrific nightmares, slept really badly and have felt depressed and sick all day. I swear, alcohol is the single most overrated thing in the world.

Just to say when I broke up with my ex husband I found I could suddenly drink an enormous amount without passing out or throwing up which I would have done previously or since

Not sure if because I effectively running on a mix of adrenaline, cortisol and caffeine.

Anyway look after yourself OP, let the guilt pass and treat yourself to a nice hot bowl of salty ramen (trust me!).

What a shit way to speak to an OP looking for support. OP clearly doesn’t think what she did is edgy or cool, or she wouldn’t have posted.

Not being arsey, just wondering if this is AI-generated.

FFS. Is this where we are now? Picking over the finer details and assuming AI if something doesn’t add up? How depressing.

Anyway Mrs Chatbot (I mean I don’t care - you’re in my iPad😆) my answer is no I couldn’t drink that amount of wine. Not without my head morphing into a concrete block. Even the thought of it is giving me a headache. But then I’m a total lightweight these days. I don’t think you should feel bad or guilty if it’s a one off. Did you say anything stupid or embarrassing to anyone? Did you do anything weird to your Facebook status? If not, it’s probably safe to forget about it and move on.

Don't worry op. You've said it's not a regular occurrence and you dont normally drink that much! I easily can if I like the wine and in the right mood. I drink most weekends and nothing all week as I go to the gym before work every morning and need to sleep well. Just because I might drink two bottles of wine at the weekends certainly doesn't make me an alcoholic 🙃

Well you've came to the wrong place, some people will convince you you are an alcoholic!!

And I could easily drink two bottles of wine over 6 hours! Me and my friend do, once every 6 weeks or so. Over a few hours, no!

@Flightyflora ffs! I also work in substance misuse and you know as well as I do that. 2 bottles of wine as a one ff, drunk over a long period of time, is nowhere near dependency. Yes a one off binge but nothing else 🙄

Wow. You sound nice…

I could easily put away 2 bottles in 6 hours but would be crawling the next morning because I almost never do it. Sounds like you were just enjoying yourself and having a rare treat on the weekend, not sure why you're concerned.

Just a bit thirsty, just do better next time. y
You just have a touch of hanxiety, youll be okay.

Er no, we’ve all done something like this at one time or another

I know this is an online forum and people are entitled to their opinions, but I would rather be an alcoholic than be stuck up my own arse.

Are you sure this was just a one off ?
if it isn’t you need to be honest with yourself.

if it was then keep it just that a one off.

It is a one off

I think some people forget how alcoholic wine is! 2 bottles is between 7 and 10 pints of beer depending on the strength. As a one off not a problem (especially with the added regret of a monster hangover!), but for the people who do it regularly it can be quite eye opening when you think about it that way. I saw this as someone who used to drink over a bottle a night, thinking that as it wasn't a large volume of liquid it wasn't an issue, but realised I was actually getting very pissed every evening and really damaging my health!

Op you are fine!! If you can eat get yourself a takeaway and sit down and watch a film. You'll be feeling better by tomorrow.

I only did 2 bottles when I had an issue with alcohol. That’s minimum 20 units. You won’t have been sober again until 20 hours after you started drinking. Hope you didn’t drive the next morning.

I haven’t been fit enough to drive today!

How can you deduce that the OP has a drinking problem?

Tomorrow is another day...

Meanwhile, this is what junk food was invented for 🤩

just had 3 pints of cider before cooking dinner. Nowhere near as much as I’ve had the last couple of days while I’ve been away. Absolutely not alcoholic can take it or leave it but out listening to a band? I’ll take it 😁

Bless you OP. You just split from your kids dad, he’s with someone else already, you let off some steam. Write it off, keep hydrated, tomorrow you’ll feel so much better. Onwards and upwards, look for other things for treats for yourself.

That’s another issue, how could he just move on so quick? Not that I want him back

Get a sense of humour.
