I am wondering if I have a drink problem. Basically I drink a bottle of wine a day, every day

I have a very good relationship with my wife...rarely if ever argue, life is very good

Haven't taken a day off sick this year at all. My work is judged to be very good. I regularly get in the office before 6.00am and rarely leave much before 5.00

The first thing I do though when I get in is unplug a bottle of wine normally drunk while I do the dinner

Just recently I am thinking this might be excessive

Any comments. I am hoping I am not the only one

I take my hat off to ya!!! Good work mate

Dont worry about what others think!

beemerboy

do you share the wine with the missus, or do you glug the lot down yourself.

i dont htink you are quite on the Keith Chegwin stage yet, so relax and drink some more!!!

very commendable work hours!!

I am in IT support for banks in the City so in early to make sure all the red braces boys can hit the LSE

I find I need a drink in the evening to de-stress....Wife doesn't drink so I end up doing the lot

I must be one of Jacobs Creeks best customers

scoob_babe

red wine is good for you

the only snag would be if you needed to go out later - you'd be over the limit. But if you're not, so what, life is for living

I take the empties to the bottle bank and someone said "good party then".....yeah mine

Trouble is I can drill 3 bottles and only have a mild hangover the folling moring if I stick to either red or white

i can't do spirits but wine is like drinking water half the time

beemerboy

nice one man, my missus dont drink, but i make up for it with copious amounts of stella.

i heard those trading floors can be nasty areas.
some it bod i know got a monitor chucked at him by a trader!!!

i would end up dragged into HR if i worked there!!!

i'm sure you alcohol content is OK, if you fell Ok the next day etc..

everyone is different, so its hard to gauge.
also if you eat properly etc....

we should sort out a drink in the city, i know Bravo2Zero will be working near Aldgate next week, and i'm around the Fenchurch St area everyday, so let me know.

anyone else fancy a quick pint one night in the city???

I was wondering if I had a drink prob last night when my boyfriend pointd out that since we have been together (over 2 years) he's never known me to have a night without at least a glass of wine of a can of lager. I enjoy a drink but it has concerned me!....... can't wait to get home and crack open a bottle!

zero_to60

so basically a bottle a night is Ok then?

see I am thinking as long as it don't cause a problem like domestic violence, arguments, sick days crap work etc I am ok

thing is the docs say only 21 units a week

ChrisB

I drink a bottle a night when I get in... just that bottle is an ice cold pint of semi-skimmed milk. Lush

Mr Gee

I am in the City too !!

1 bottle of red wine is baby $hit compared to what some of these dudes put away in 2 hours worth of drinking......

Stop drinking the wine for a fortnight. If you can't do it you have a dependancy problem?

mwp

do it

anyway you want to make sure you have a good life by dying in a fast car, poor, overweight, with a fcuked liver.

don't know about the middle two, but you've got the first and the last sorted

zero_to60

the most I've managed is 3 days

I think it's habit more than anything

mwp

chris ... don't get on that stuff ... you'll have the pint of raw eggs guys on here next.

zero_to60

it's costing me shedloads though as well, mind you I don't smoke

mwp

i can recommend a good cigar

Mycroft

Enjoy the drink and don't worry... that amount of drink won't kill you... worrying about it will... [all with the proviso you are not grossly overweight or have bad bloodpressure numbers]

LG John

You don't have a drink problem if you can easily go without out it for a night, few nights, week. Alcholics are dependant on the drink and thats the real problem!

zero_to60

thing is people say they don't drink much but......the ****ing Tescos is stacked full of the stuff...someones drinking the stuff

I think the medical profession know jack ****

Jeez now I am sounding like an alchy

mwp

tesco's have a sale on at the moment ... stock up with boxes of the stuff while you can ... you know you want to


hic.

I stopped in at Tescos yesterday for a pizza and milk and ended up with Jacobs Creek and all sorts...good offers on at the moment

mwp

now you're talking ...a bottle of jack a night ... party time

zero_to60

could do with a Bourbon and coke...hey thats an idea

ajm

I reckon the first sign of trouble is if you are staying permanently drunk with top ups throughout the day. I knew a guy at work who was an alcy and he stank of booze all day every day.

If you don't drink enough to make yourself feel crap the next day, i.e. are recovering totally then I reckon you are ok.

A wino would get smashed, wake up and start drinking more to postpone the hangover!

Until recently, that was the average in France. I dont think they die earlier or are worse off than English people?
