Just find it really hard to stop! I have if im honest with myself a problem i drink wine every night of the week which i know its bad for me but find it so hard not to! i made a point of stopping so many times i wouldnt mind if i actually enjoyed it anymore as i dont think i do i think its a habit i have got into and just cant get out of everytime i hear some statistics about alcohol abuse on news i cringe and blush and think god thats me> Last week i didnt buy any and got to wednesday and was okay monday and tuesday was like a bear with a sore head sop grumpy bad headaches etc! so then thursday my dp brought home 6 bottles of wine and i was so pissed off with myself as he said do you want some or are we waiting till the weekend? i was doin fine then he did that and i quite clearly have no willpower as we had a bottle with tea and together polished the rest off over the weekend !! so vowed not to drink the following week but just had a bad day with children and off i went to the shop!! im so mad at myself i just wondered if anyone else has as little willpower as me!!

I'm the same as everyone else on here.
Usually have 2 glasses of wine a night.
Had a whole bottle on Monday and felt rough.
Went out last night and had 3 250ml glasses and then a liquer coffee
It's a habit here too, a 'reward' for getting through another day...

I'm the same i'm afraid, I could easily polish off a bottle a night if I wanted to.
Although I have been a bit better recently, like expat says, being skint works! We have just moved so have been fairly skint so I have been cutting down to one bottle every 3 or 4 nights.

My DP doesn't drink (sends him loopy) so I don't have that excuse! I also use soda, I put a couple of inches of wine in and the rest soda.

Have found that the more expensive wines don't make you feel so rough? (not red, that ALWAYS makes me feel rough).

I know I shouldn't, but I use it as my reward for getting through the day. I don't smoke/go out much etc etc.

Anyone fancy a wine tasting night?

Just started my second and last glass of the night. Lovely
