a glass (or three) of wine during the week?
Anyone want to hop on the bandwagon with me. Only allowed it on Friday and Saturday nights. Finger's crossed! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Over my entire life I've had no more than 3 bottles of wine. And I don't drink beer or spirits or premixes or any of that stuff. I don't get what the fuss is about

Now wine is something I won't ever give up  Doesn't help that I work at a winery and DH makes the stuff!
But, good on you Ange! And in that case we must have a Friday or Saturday night session

I agree with Kebakat, I have never understood what all the fuss is about alcohol and 'needing a drink'. Sure when i was 18 I had the odd night out with friends ...maybe 3 or 4 times max. Otherwise no alcohol since i was 18 (before i fell preg with DS), im 22 now going on 23. Think im in the minority though, our drinking culture over here (NZ) is pretty shocking really.
I heard on the radio a while back that South Auckland has like 92 (or somewhere in the 90's) bottle stores/alcohol retailers...and they wonder why the crime rate is high here  - surely there would be a connection. Every dairy complex in Papakura almost seems to have a Bottle store next to it now.
Each to their own though  I think I'm of this mindset coz my parents never allowed alcohol in the house and didn't drink themselves, so I'm just following in their footsteps...

I am also stopping drinking at home. I am now allowing myself 1 glass of good wine when out for dinner.
Am wanting to decrease the waist line but love a GOOD wine. -------------

| DH and I have a glass of wine or two every night with dinner. We are really big on our wine. We never go out and get drunk on the weekend though, that kind of drinking is a completely different mind-set. |

| Oh I should join you. I have a glass of wine most nights with dinner. Would like to just have it on weekends or say once a week. I don't drink anything else apart from water, herbal tea and wine (or the occasional beer) I would much rather drink wine than the poison that is fizzy drink! I think drinking Coke etc. is far worse for you than a glass of wine. |

Agreed! Fizzy drinks should be outlawed. |

Except Ive never heard of anyone drinking coke then getting in their car and causing accidents like people who drink and drive.

True but I have heard of people getting extremely fat, teeth falling out and children going crazy on fizzy drinks There is nothing natural in fizzy drinks. I would much rather drink wine that is made from grapes than coke that is made from numbers.

True .. but ive seen fat homeless people with teeth falling out walking around with wine bottles in hand too 
Although in fairness I dont have a problem with either really, its not what people drink its how they drink it, whether it be coke or wine. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

They will be fat from all the fizzy drinks they were drinking before their wives knocked their teeth out and threw them out on their ear and they discovered good wine

Good on you Ange, we are also cutting back on the wine here too. Trying to have a wine or 2 with dinner 3 times a week instead of every night. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD 1999 DS 2003 DS 2006 DD 2009 |

Alcohol can put the weight on too, not necessarily fizzy that caused the big gut ...think middle aged men and their beer guts ...
And what kind of wife would knock her hubby's teeth out? Alcohol can lead to violence... ------------- Single Mum to a darling wee boy of 3 years :) |

Could have been .. except they were homeless women, so maybe they got fed up with their husbands only wanting to drink coke at dinner and they wanted to drink chardonnay. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!
