Wine o'clock?

[Blueberrymuffin8]

If you do have a glass of wine in the evenings, what time do you have it? I'm just being nosy! Please don't reply if you don't :)

It will generally be after dinner when DS who is 12 is in bed and I can sit down and relax so anytime from 8.30
On a weekend if we are at home and I have nowhere to be I've been known to have a couple of shandies mid afternoon or i might have a beer with dinner then a few more later.

If I'm having wine it's about 7.30 ish when I sit down to eat. But several of my friends say they like to have a glass while they are cooking (so I guess around 6ish). If I try to do that I get distracted after first sip and forget about it.
And I have one friend who likes a nice cold Chardonnay at lunch and it sort goes on from there!

I’ve never been one to drink through the week but when we would have a drink on a weekend I’d usually have one when I sat down to eat dinner so about 6pm. Now I have a 5 month old baby I can only dream of a 6pm wine😂 one day!!!

I like to have one whilst I'm cooking and listening to a podcast, so 6/7ish.

I usually have one at 6pm but feel it's too early as I always want another (albeit small) glass. Going to try to push it to 7, so I'm less likely to drink more if I'm eating dinner. It will be tough as I usually stressed by 6 and really need to unwind!

As I’m making dinner for the family - so 6ish

I only drink when I’m within my partner so usually about 5.30 we’ll open a bottle and have a glass making/with dinner then another after dinner about 7.30. Then we switch to tea 🤣

Don't worry, your time will come soon. It'll go by in a flash. My boys are 7 and 8 now but I still remember those restrictive days!

Crikey, when my partner is within me he tends to have other things to occupy himself...

In my head it's better to drink wine with a meal...so 7-ish
...and I'm trying to stick to just the weekend...

If I have a glass it’s at about 8pm when the kids are in bed. If they’re up I’m too busy rushing round sorting them out with something or other to enjoy it, so I wait until I have some peace!

When mine was 5m that was the time I would reach for the 6pm wine!!! My husband did bathtime and I’d lay on the sofa with a book and glass of wine or a cocktail at the weekend!!

I don't think I could make it that long!

If she slept through the night I would!! But the thought of being woken up every 45 mins through the night is enough to put me off, after basically 18 months sober I think even 1 glass would give me a hangover for the night time battle😂

About 8:00 when I have finally done everything and sit down to relax.

5.30-6

Only half an hour to go 🙌

If there's a bottle open, I'll have a glass whilst I'm cooking (so about now!)

Otherwise I'll wait until about 7.30-8pm.

Sodding menopause has curbed my wine intake massively-probably a good thing tbh

Whenever I sit down usually between 8pm and 9pm

😂 thought no one else had noticed that typo!

I work part-time.
5pm is wine or gin or rum and crisps.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere is the theme.

I don't really drink during the week, but if I have the occasional one, it's usually after kids are in bed, or around the time they go, so about 8-8.30pm. Weekends vary, usually won't open anything until dinner is nearly ready, so 6ish. If we have people over, or go out for lunch, might have one earlier, depending on circumstances.

I don't generally drink. But Waitrose had a deal on yellow tail Shiraz and I just opened the bottle. Having an early dinner as I have to be up at 3 tomorrow so want to be in bed by eight

Usually just a Friday or Saturday night thing for me. Usually after dinner - I prefer it as a treat after food rather than with a meal (at home anyway). Wine, rum or gin for me.

Sometimes also on a Sunday 🤫

@Blueberrymuffin8 This is exactly our dilemma ! I like one while I'm cooking but it's too easy to have a top up while we eat and another top up once we've cleaned up and sat down.
The plan is to start a bit later but we'll see !
