Last weekend was yet another booze filled one for me. 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. If the truth be told it is definitely getting a problem and I know it’s time 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 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 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.
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 think I still have a nice bottle of gin stored in the cupboard, so I think perhaps I will go and get a bottle of tonic to drink with this!!
