I Love My Wine, But Perhaps I Should Slow Down My Drinking

Last weekend was yet another booze filled one for me.  Now I reach a point on Saturday afternoon when I feel the need for a drink and it doesn’t matter what drink it is.

This Saturday I had polished off a bottle of Spanish Wine before 4pm.  The real problem is that I drink a glass of wine like I would a glass of water.  To be honest I think it’s getting a bit of a problem and I know I am going to have to knock it on the head.

It used to be when I went shopping on a Friday I would just get one bottle of wine for the weekend. Now I find that I am buying at least 3 bottles to see us through Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

Last week the supermarket had offers on Chilean wine and French wine, so I really went for it and got a couple of each.

My problem is that if its in the house I will drink it and in all honesty, I’m not fussy about what the drink is. Over Christmas we were given as presents a bottle of Baileys and a bottle of Sambuca.  Over the past few weeks, these 2 bottles have been finished.  I think the problem is that instead of using the shot glasses we use a great big wine glass!

I think the only way forward is going to be stopping drinking alcohol for a little while.  It’s going to be tough, but I think it is necessary.

I think my other half will have a few words to say about this, but I’m sure he will appreciate why I am doing it.

Mind you, I think the ban can come into force at the weekend, so that gives me a good few nights to polish off any alcohol lying around the house.   I’m sure I still have a whole bottle of gin in the cupboard, so perhaps I had better buy a bottle of tonic to go with this!!
