Anyone else who can own up to a glass every night?

I'm really really curious. Does anyone else drink a glass of wine pretty much every single night or am I the only one? I only just realised this board was here so I'm hoping enough people know about it to get some answers. If not, I'll be tempted to re-post somewhere else because I really want to know!

I have a glass of wine probably five out of seven nights. I add ice to my white wine though, so a bottle lasts me a week!

I wanted a bottle of it last night but dropped it on the floor.

After looking after my daughter all day I like a drink (every night). Maybe as much as half a bottle and I don't feel guilty. In fact I saw this on YouTube and related to it immediately. Anyone else?

Yes I do and you're definately not alone! As my glasses are HUGE I now count wine by units rather than by the glass Wink

I like to have a glass while I unwind after work and get dinner ready. Just one unit though, I make sure my glasses don't end up being the extra-large variety. I don't see that it's a problem - if I don't have it for some reason I'm not unhappy. But it's a pleasant thing, and I don't think that level of alcohol consumption is a problem.

I do Wine Cheers

I find my self having three glasses a night which is the whole bottle :-/
I'm getting moaned at by my dh now though as he thinks it getting to much.
I love to sit down after the kids are in bed and all the jobs are done and enjoy a glass or three of wine

Treagues · 28/07/2013 14:37

Yes I do.
We deliberately bought smaller wine glasses but then started drinking cocktails a lot Blush

Yep. One 'good one', which can be quite large Grin

I used to but realised it makes me grumpy/stressy to drink every day so now try not to (not to mention a bit bloated). That said apparently for women its beneficial to have a glass of red wine a day. Don't know why the poor men miss out on this but hey ho...

Jennyl131 · 10/02/2014 19:03

yup, and the rest. Grin

In fact, it must be wine o'clock now.

cheers! Wine

(can we have a white wine and champagne smileys please)

expatinscotland · 10/02/2014 19:04

I would if I could afford it. I can't so I don't.

Bowlersarm · 10/02/2014 19:05

Drink wine 4/5 nights out of 7.

Trying to cut that down.

PoshPaula · 10/02/2014 19:08

Just one?!

AuditAngel · 10/02/2014 19:11

I do.

thefirstmrsrochester · 10/02/2014 19:13

I do. I am right now. And if I want another, I will have another.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 10/02/2014 19:20

I did until a friend told me there were about the same calories in a glass of wine as a donut.

Now try to stick to the weekends (except on holidays, when normal rules don't apply.)

Hullygully · 10/02/2014 19:21

Just one glass?

ghostinthecanvas · 10/02/2014 19:29

Mmm......I got a row from the doc on sunday for confessing my wine habits Blush
I do 5 days out of 7. One glass most evenings so 4 nights to a bottle. I like a couple of spiced rums sometimes instead.

Bowlersarm · 10/02/2014 20:17

ghost so you only have 1 bottle over four nights plus an extra glass to make up the 5 nights? That's only about 11 units. Quite a bit under guidelines. I can't understand why your doctor thought it too much?

ghostinthecanvas · 10/02/2014 20:40

I know. I was a bit Shock

Lozislovely · 10/02/2014 20:42

I do!

expatinscotland · 10/02/2014 20:55

Oh, I'd have told him to go boil his silly little head, ghost, and hoik his kecks up at someone tiddly enough to be bothered by it.

Bowlersarm · 10/02/2014 20:56

Mind you, don't doctors go on the premise that everyone lies about their alcohol consumption, so they probably double what anyone tells them.
