Probably.
The government advises that people should not regularly drink more than the daily unit guidelines of 3-4 units of alcohol for men (equivalent to a large (250ml) glass of 13% wine) and 2-3 units of alcohol for women (equivalent to a 175ml glass of 13% wine). ‘Regularly’ means drinking every day or most days of the week.
A large glass of 13% wine puts a woman over the daily guidelines. Another small glass (125ml) will put men over the guidelines
Not a lot to go over the limit.
I hardly drink at all during the week . I work evenings, so going out is difficult, plus I'm not that much of a home drinker.
I guess I catch up during the weekend though. Football Saturdays can be heavy ones ,as I also go out Saturday night. Plus then I like to go to pubs on a Sunday.
Never tasted alcohol.
Yup. I had a small bottle of beer over xmas, maybe on xmas eve, I can't remember. That's it for the last 2 months or so.
I'm not over it yet, no.
Why not?
Absolutely, once I start drinking I don't want to stop. One bottle of wine isn't enough for me, two or three will satisfy me.
I attempted to do the dryathon but lasted three days into the new year, however, so far I have just shared 1 1/2 bottles of wine and had a can of Stella since Jan 1st.
I don't suffer from hangovers which means I don't suffer any short term consequences of drinking too much.
I either am already or on the verge of alcoholism as my other half stopped me drinking any more one evening and I kept popping into the kitchen to swig from a Hennessy bottle. Frequent memory black outs and one trip in an ambulance suggests I have a problem.
I am giving myself this chance to moderate the drinking myself before going to the doctors.
