Re: Alcohol intake

I don't necessarily drink during the week because I find I am too tired after a hard day at work (I am very,very busy with my job) that I can't do anything else. I do sometimes have a glass of wine on a Monday - Thursday. But Friday, Saturday and Sunday I do have a couple of drinks - it depends but probably 2-4 drinks each of those nights. Usually wine but sometimes a cocktail and then wine. I am not a big beer drinker but love it in the summer after a hot day in the garden. Is it not good? I say we have all been through enough - too much, to not enjoy our lives to the fullest. Also, some alcohol studies do not rule out other factors that may be synergistic with alcohol drinking such as - do you smoke too? Do you just sit around or are you depressed. There is so much more going on than just those drinks. Eat well and live well I say. So, I suppose if a bottle of wine is about 6 drinks depending on how you pour, then I drink about 2 bottles a week. That's why I'm smiling in my picture!
