Interested to hear how much people drink being honest.
I have been having 4 bottles of wine a week during the Christmas period and run up.
Prior to that I will have 2/3 glasses of wine 4/5 times a week.

Recently 12-14 units a week and then reduced it to 7-8 as I stopped midweek.

But over Christmas fortnight; 4 bottles of wine, a few whiskeys, sloe gins, bottle of lager and third of a bottle of port. 😲

I’ve drank way more since March than I ever did previously. Only thing to numb the horror.
Irony is I’m now far fatter, less healthy and more likely to have a severe case of Covid.

Interested in this thread?

^ Combined with my gym being closed and the dance classes I usually teach not able to restart because the venue we use has stayed closed since March.

Nothing. Both dh and I are pretty much teetotal.

Far far too much.

Nothing. I used to be able to easily put away 4-5 bottles of wine a week so I'm certainly not being smug but it gave me crippling anxiety the next day and looking back at photos it made me look like shit.
I had a bloated puffy face, extra weight around my middle and my skin was greyish.

I'm now teetotal and ive lost 1.5 stone, my face is slim and my skin is radiant and I look much much younger. I dont know why people assume that if you dont drink you are "smug". I'm not smug, I just got sick and tired of feeling sick and tired- thats hardly "smug".

Wayyyy too much this week

I think I drank every day in December and a bloody lot at that Shock but on an average week I would say 1-1.5 bottles of wine - usually a glass a night with dinner. Stepped on the scales Jan 2nd and nearly had a coronary - so trying dry January to help with a strict diet!! However due to latest lockdown news I may have to treat myself to a little glass at the weekend, just to keep sane stuck indoors with an almost 8 month old! Grin

I've had 3 gin and tonics, 2 glasses of wine, 1 beer, 1 baileys and about 6 creme de menthe hot chocolates. That was over the past year and is more than I'd normally have. That bottle of gin has been in the fridge 3 years and is still 2/3 full.
