how much do you drink?

[migoplumber]

just wondering how unhealthy i might be.

when i finish work, as i get home, my loving wife stands at the door and hands me a beer. i make my way to the sofa sit down and sup it.
then i have a bath, sit down and relax in front of stupid box watching crap.
at this point we open our first bottle of wine, generally on a school night we have a bottle each every night, a good red!

is this the norm?


as an afterthought, how many times do you eat out each week/month, where do you go and how much do you spend. as another afterthought do any of you abstain during week and then make up for it at weekend with 20 pints on a friday night.(i can only drink 3 pints before i feel sick, put 3 bottles of wine in front of me and they disappear rapid)

have a good weekend.

Have exactly the same habit as you Migo,love a good red!..still have lads night every six weeks or so and have it large, but getting few and far between these days. However, broke the chain this week (every day for as long as, I've had a drink!) as me and the Mrs have had the dreaded swine flue and have abstained from the drink all week.

I don't seem to have full blown symptoms, my wife though has been super ill - pretty nasty folks, watch out! I've been still able to do some work this week, mainly boiler repairs,setting up shower valves etc, but nothing full on as no energy and general carp feeling. Might see how some cans go down tonight mind as it has been a week and it is Saturday, oink- oink!

Oh, and so far don't feel any benefits from not drinking, but might try and get the can when coming in the door habit curbed once and for all (doubtfull!!).

I cant drink in the week, i cant stand not feeling 100% in the morning, I prob go out 2-3 a month, dont go too mad even then. Usually have chinese on a sat night.

About 3 bottles of wine during the working week and a bottle of vodka on the weekend washed down with some more wine.

I drink myself to sleep most nights. including tonight.

 

[migoplumber]

well i now feel like im not the odd one out. like i said i drink at least 1 bottle of wine a night school nights included! at weekend i might drink 2. this is at home drinking.
we go out twice a week, once to local carvery at 6 quid each + drinks, good food, then a take away pizza jobby that normally come in at short of 20 quid.

I drink too much my nurse tells me when I go, diabetic lol used to have lots of hypos but I have since lost lots of weight since the doing plumbing.

Do I care no. should I care no. not really, dont go out on a bev dont like the noise and hassle that seems to appear to come with it. Eat out no chance have only been trading just over a year and most has gone back into my business.

I have to admit though on friday 8pm just sat down with my wife and my dinner phone rings Do you come out at this hour as I hear the water My wife was not happy as had just got in from work, but I had a drink.

Explained to customer but got my wife to drive me there, she has only just started to talk to me again. All from a customer trying to fix a wc handle and breaking the top of a torbeck.

how much do you drink?

Not enough.......

 

[secret squirrel]

I'm a light weight, the odd drink through the week. Normally, a shandy (come on let the abuse begin). In general same at the weekend. I do like good whisky and Brandy but very rare to indulge too much.

I struggle to sleep if I've had too much to drink. If I over indulge, I'm a wreck for 2-3 days.

NOW, food, whole different kettle of fish............

I love it, in general eat out normally about twice a month. Doesn't have to be expensive but has to be good quatlity. Between 2 of us at pizza hut it'll have to be starter salad, two large pizzas and deserts.

Indian, normally usual popadoms, starters 3 mains rice etc.

ok, I agree perhaps not best quality but reasonably cheap and filling.

Quality places I've been to are Rick Steins fish restaurant, Heston Blumentall's the fat duck, Petrus which was one of Ramsey's and a Conran place in London.

One of the best chinese restaurants I've been to is the Peking Duck in Soho, fantasitic.

Who caught me on film!

Me i rarely drink on a school night

But when the weekends hits, im rarely sober

Beer, cider , wine, spirits, you name it il drink it

 

[unitedplumbing]

Drinking beer everyday can increase your blood pressure...but since you are a moderate drinker, no probs!!!....it has cardio-protective properties, increases good cholesterol and reduces the risk of kidney stone.
