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?

I can’t imagine being quite so confidently ignorant. I suppose it must be nice in a way. Being so dumb but also so sure of yourself.

OP if some wine went in with the gravy then it’s not even two full bottles so cut yourself some slack. I did the same Christmas Day and enjoyed every sip (…if not my bad head the next day!)

Exactly, why is it ok at a party? She was at her own party of 1 and had a great time so do fuck off dears

I can go months without a single alcoholic drink, (I think I could live in a pub and never have a drop (looked for a 'halo' emoji but couldn't find one, lol..... ) but agree that one glass / bottle can turn into 2 very easily, somehow especially starting earlyish in the day ......don't beat yourself up about it because of this one occasion, (unless it does become 2 bottles every time, which by what you say, it doesn't). I like the term 'next day cave troll' to describe a hangover - (maybe chuck a few glasses of water in between), and it was wine, not vodka / spirits, over a fairly long period. This one occasion doesn't make you a raging alkie🌹

It's lovely to have the roast on and have a few glasses Op. However two bottles alone is too much as you yourself realise and the knowing is the vital bit. Hope this thread helps you find an answer.

In a similar situation over a long meal with friends, I could go a bottle tops.

I find it very difficult to drink alone as I age. I have a well stocked bar and a wine fridge but it is very rare I drink without company. But there was a time I was drinkly secretly and fearing I was an alcoholic. I had joined a religion that forbade alcohol and it was my greatest pleasure to sneak a drink whenever I could. My alcoholism ended the moment I left the religion. Guilt can have perverse consequences.

I mean, it’s a lot but as a one-off I wouldn’t be too concerned. But the fact that you could do it
would make me wonder if it truly is a one-off as you obviously have a high tolerance for alcohol.

Definitely couldn’t do it myself. I’ve never tried but I suspect my limit would be one bottle in that time.

Hope you're feeling better soon op 💐

You know nothing!

Hardly something to be proud of! As I clearly said. Each to theor own.
Reminds me of that phrase...to argue with a fool.... sure you can finish this for me

Too late.. kuda or not her liver isnt grateful for her behaviour

I could drink two bottles but probably over about 8 hours. I would be pissed though and definitely throw up. Would probably be in bed the next day.

Not at all, just facts, no need or reason to be judgemental. Don't really have time or space to sugarcoat anything in this life!
There's always therapy if that's what shes looking for! Unlike you, am honest and won't encourage bad behaviour like that, in the name of 'support'

Sure I dont if that pleases you. I sure dont waste my liver that way.
Feeling annoyed about my honest comment? there's always 2 cheap bottles of wine, waiting for you, fill your boots! Lol

Say what? Are you ok? That makes no sense at all.

Oh dear…..

Binge drinking is a form of alcoholism. In medical terms we also consider it self harm. No sane person would put their body through 2 bottles of wine and think that's okay for their health, comes here looking for sympathy! What she needs is therapy to deal with whatever is possessing her to harm herself like that. And that a fact. Don't bother telling me that's judgemental, it ain't.

Absolutely! Are you okay for supporting this kind of behaviour!?

Yup, oh dear. This is a free space. Don't obsess over my comment, scroll through if ot makes you unhappy!

'Facts'? You seem to know an awful lot about the OP based just on her posts on here.

The OP said it was a one off (there's no reason to disbelieve her), feels terrible about it and has just been through a break up. Maybe give her some grace. We all handle difficult times differently and, admittedly, this wasn't an ideal way to do that, but she already admits that herself.

I'm afraid the whole 'I'm just honest I am' schtick is just judgement on your part, fine, but at least own it as that.

None of us knows enough about her to declare her as one thing or another in the name of 'honesty'.

OP I hope you're feeling better today.

Your post made no sense, I think you’re a very angry and judgemental person.

You should try not to be a judgemental, like a friend.

Good luck.

I’ve had two extremely bad hangovers in my life and I do now have a mental safety valve that says ‘no more’ after the point where I’d be getting a bad hangover. If you find yourself overdoing it again, remind yourself of how bad you felt this time. It works.

Am not an angry person at all dear, just the opposite. Not sure what to make of you though

One is my limit but I think I drank 2 bottles of red in one night when I was at Uni. I was sick in a sink but it was years ago so I can't remember if I definitely drank both bottles. I also don't remember the hangover.

A few years ago I went out with a friend and between us we had 3 bottles of white. I was very drunk and in a bad way the next day but we were both having a difficult time and needed to let off steam so we did.

We are all only human and sometimes we make bad choices. It doesn't make us monsters, we don't all need to go to rehab because of one heavy drinking session.
