How Many Units of Wine Is Acceptable Per Week For Alcohol consuming?
The past weekend was yet another one filled with alcohol consuming. What is an acceptable amount of alcohol consuming? Because it’s gotten to the point now where come Saturday afternoon I feel the need for a drink and I don’t care what it is.
There is an acceptable level so what is it? I found out that drinking one glass of wine a day will not only help prevent cancer but red wine drank with food helps with digestion.
My problem is that I don’t have just one glass. 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. 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 before alcohol consuming consumes me.
It used to be when I went shopping on a Friday I would just get one bottle of wine for 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.
My concern is that if it’s in the house I will drink it and to be honest I don’t really care what the drink is. For Christmas we were given a bottle of Sambuca and a bottle of Baileys. Over the last few weeks, these 2 bottles have been drunk. One of the problems is that we don’t use shot glasses as we really should, but instead fill up a wine glass! I often think what this must do to my liver? I do use detox strips because of the benefits to my liver, if I’m going to drink liver into submission then I need to protect it.
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 hard going, but i feel it is absolutely 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’m certain I still have a nice litre bottle of gin in the kitchen cupboard, so perhaps I might just have to get a bottle of tonic to go with this!!
