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 problem is I knock back a bottle of wine like it’s 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.
On a Friday when I used to go shopping I would buy just one bottle of wine for 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.
My problem is that if its in the house I will drink it and in all honesty, I’m not fussy about what the drink is. Over Christmas we were given as presents a bottle of Baileys and a bottle of Sambuca. Over the past few weeks, these 2 bottles have been finished. I think the problem there is that we don’t use shot glasses as we should, but fill up a wine glass!
I think the only solution is that I am going to have to stop drinking any alcohol for a while. It’s going to be tough, but I think it is necessary.
I think my partner might have a bit of a grumble about this, but I’m sure he will understand my reasons behind it.
Mind you, I think the ban can come into force at the weekend, so that gives me a good few nights to polish off any alcohol 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!!
