The Wine Bottle

Last weekend was yet another booze filled one for me.  Now I reach a point on Saturday afternoon when I feel desperate for a drink and it doesn’t matter what drink I have.

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.  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 find that I am buying at least 3 bottles to see us through Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

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. 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.  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 going to be stopping drinking alcohol for a while.  It’s going to be quite hard work, but i think it has reached the point where I don’t have a choice.

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.

Mind you, I think the ban can probably wait until the weekend, so giving me time to polish off any booze lying around the house.   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!!
