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 problem is I can knock back a whole bottle of wine, like it’s just a drink of water. In all honesty I feel it’s getting a bit of a problem and I know in my heart I am going to have to stop it right away.
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.
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. For Christmas we were given a bottle of Sambuca and a bottle of Baileys. Over the past few weeks, these 2 bottles have been finished. One of the problems is that we don’t use shot glasses as we really should, but instead fill up a wine glass!
I think the only solution is going to be stopping drinking 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 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!!
