Should I worry that I can drink a bottle of read wine...

[LynetteScavo]

..and feel relatively sober?

I remember when a whole bottle wold have made me really sick. Should I be worried?

Obviously the wine is preventing me from spell checking!

Nah.

Cheers!

Well, it's affecting your ability to spell correctly ...

Well it is effecting your spelling, so maybe you are not all that sober

Well, probably ...

Whereas I am sober and my vocab is shot

I only got worried when it was 2 bottles and several whiskeys and lemonade...

On a slightly more serious note its best to calculate how many units a week, if they make your Dr want to send you to rehab then you need to cut back.

Isn't it supposed to be 14 units per week?

Hmm...so how many units are in a bottle?

Around 10.

10 units in a bottle of say 14%.

In my yoof I was doing 30 un its per week, mostly binge drinking.

Now I usually consume 2 bottles per week, over one week. Is that OK? [hhm]

between 9 and about 11 depending how strong the wine is.

Is it a bottle in one go every night or ditto occasionally?

I find it's the get home glass, reading bedtime story glass, cooking the dinner glass and then the after dinner glass that add up. Still enjoy them though.

Bummer..I need to cut down.

So how many calories in a bottle? That's more likely to be an incentive. I used up 300 cal at the gym yesterday. [hopeful}

Mr TigerDrivesAgain told me that there are as many calories in a bottle of wine as in a roast dinner. I hope he was scaremongering.

Around 120 cals per glass. So, six glasses per bottle...

Lynette - drinking that much will take years off your life and give you wrinkles. It's about 700 calories a bottle so 3500 calories to gain a pound..... you do the maths.

Right...all spare bottles are being stored in DH's ofice first thing tommorow.
