to think that two bottles of wine per person is not that much?

[Rosieeo]

Following on from a conversation with a friend last night. Friend A had about six glasses of wine from 7 till 11, plus dinner, plus lots of nibbles, chat and general unwinding, then went home. Once she'd gone, friend B (still waiting for taxi) said something along the lines of 'OMG, can you believe how much juice she shipped tonight?'

I had noticed, but only because of the empties. Between the four of us, we went through about 6 bottles of wine, but I had bought 8, because I always over buy on food and booze; a kind of better too much than too little thing.

So what do you think? Is two bottles of wine too much? I had about 3/4 glasses, so about a bottle, but I'm sure I've drank more and not been disgusted with myself!

i'd say a bottle and a half is my limit.......if i have any more than that i start to feel rather unwell. and i mean a bottle and a half over a long evening with food btw....not necked in half an hour

Sounds a heck of a lot. I can't drink more than half a bottle in one sitting without feeling the effects the next day, if i had a whole bottle i would be feeling very sorry for myself the next day, two bottles...i am not sure i would even get to consume that much without being sick etc...i used to easily drink a bottle in a sitting before DDs etc

If it was a one off catch up with friends etc i wouldn't worry about it too much if it happens week in week out that isn't good.

croft64, I think you'd be better off starting a new thread in Relationships because your post is lost in this old one.

Personally I would imagine you deserve a partner who's not an old soak and who will be able to support you and a baby, not the other way round.
