I Love A Drink, But Perhaps Consume A Little Too Much
The past weekend was yet another one filled with booze. It’s got to the point now where come Saturday afternoon I feel the need for a drink and I don’t care what 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.
When I do my weekly shop on a Friday, I used to just buy one bottle of wine to enjoy over the weekend. Now I buy at least 3 bottles of wine so we can have one a night during the weekend.
Last week the supermarket had offers on Chilean wine and French wine, so I really went for it and got a couple of each.
The problem is if it’s in the house I will drink it and to be honest I’m not fussy about what the drink is. Over Christmas we got given a bottle of Baileys and a bottle of Sambuca. Over the past couple of weeks, these 2 bottles have been finished off. I think the problem is that instead of using the shot glasses we use a great big wine glass!
I think the only solution is that I am going to have to stop drinking any alcohol for a while. It’s going to be tough, but I think it is necessary.
I’m sure the other half will have a moan about this, but I’m sure he will understand why I am doing this.
Having said all that though, I think the ban can come into force at the weekend, so that gives me a few extra nights to finish off any alcohol still at home. I’m certain I still have a nice litre bottle of gin in the kitchen cupboard, so perhaps I might just have to get a bottle of tonic to go with this!!
