I drink about a bottle of wine a day. Should I cut back?

You should probably cut back to one and a half bottles a night. That will really help with your weklfjalsdkjf;aljdflkasjdlfkdf.

A bottle's ten units of alcohol, so one a day = 70 units per week (assuming you don't drink more or anything else as well at weekends) = longterm health damage.

Probably.

Although we all know people who soaked themselves in booze all day everyday, and were hale and hearty until they were about 110 when they died peacefully in their sleep surrounded by loved ones. Or at least I do!

Depends about how you feel about playing roulette with your liver and general cancer risks.

This is one instance where calories don't matter, if you want to be healthy. Sorry.

I struggle with it a lot myself, and have to fight to make myself eat balanced food rather than drink my calories, so I do sympathise. But yeah, you should cut down.

DopeItUp

Yes. Replace it with high quality craft beer. A good bomber or 750ml of beer tends to be around 500 calories too so it's an even trade. That's what I do, and I'm awesome. Don't you want to be awesome too?

I think you should switch to Rum.

Rum is always the answer

only if you get knocked up

I sense an overwhelming misunderstanding of sarcasm on this thread..... :indifferent:

You said it!!

Calories in drinks count???

Wine calories don't count... didn't you know?!

Fact: alcohol and free food have no calories.

I personally don’t drink… But if I did my Doctor says it’s good to have a glass of wine a day. So just get a really, really big glass that will hold a bottles worth then you will be good to go.

AWESOME THINKING!!

The only thing I would worry about is the calories. I am also a wine lover and would drink it daily if I could afford to (calorie wise). There is about 122 calories in a 5 oz glass of Merlot and i believe there is around 25 or so ounces in a bottle so you are looking at around 488 calories or so. I was drinking white wine a week ago and looked up the calories only to find out that I drank about 550 calories! Yikes! For me if I am going to have calories I would rather eat them, lol.

I really hope this is a joke. The only thing wrong with drinking a bottle of wine per day is the calories??? *facepalm*
That much alcohol a day is just bad for your health, not just due to weight gain.

I'd have to agree... I normally wouldn't tell an adult what they should or shouldn't do but since you asked for opinions - I think a bottle of wine every day is a bit much. It has to be hard on your liver. I feel guilty when I kill a whole bottle even if it's only once a month! I'm not saying you have a problem, but you might want to take a step back and wonder why it is you're drinking an entire bottle of wine on a daily basis... anyway good luck, ultimately it is your body so if you cut back it will have to be because YOU want to...

If your asking about it and wondering if it's too much then surely you know it is lol

MiloBloom83

You stop at one? You sound like a lightweight to me. You should up it to a box of Merlot a day to gain my respect.

jaxxie

Make it into Yukafluks and down the fruit after it's been in there a while.....you get your fruits and you get a good buzz...........win/win!

lprumgraham

You're not over doing it if you share it with me! LOL

donnamariewilliams

Not at all. Two bottles are even better.

CynthiaElise

I see no shame in a bottle a wine a day!

Wanna?

Try the boxed kind next time. More bang for your buck, no shredded feet if you should drop it in a drunken haze, and I heard on the internets that the cardboard absorbs some of the calories from the wine.

Ask your doctor if Franzia™ is right for you!

I don't see wine, or alcohol, for that matter, as empty calories. Nutritionally, I suppose so. But they're good for my mood. I have a hell of a lot more fun drinking [insert beverage here] on a Saturday night than when I'm eating broccoli, so they're worth it. Gotta have fun sometimes!...or most of the time.

Just sayin. :drinker:

jmc0806

Just count the wine as your water intake and you're good

catpow2

At least it's not a whole box o' wine. :drinker:

hahaha! Yes, on a daily basis, it's a lot. I could pretty easily drink a bottle of wine every night myself. But it's too many calories, and I don't tax my liver on a daily basis. Also, I see you're in your 30s--when you're in your 40s you won't be able to do that without gaining weight--trust me. So, if it doesn't interfere with your life and your fitness goals, I say, live it up now! :drinker:

MrsWilsoncroft

**** it, have two bottles a night, after all it is grapes lol

BEERRUNNER

Make it into Yukafluks and down the fruit after it's been in there a while.....you get your fruits and you get a good buzz...........win/win!

Yukafluks?!?!?!/ what is that my dear?????? Is that like Sangria with all the fruits and stuff and a splash of Brandy!?!?! If so I do make a kick *kitten* Sangria for the holidays.
thats my contibution to the family dinner....this Awesomely tanned man makes the Sangria! I make it strong to get them all ripped!!!!:devil:

Nothin like Booze infused fruits!

Too bad we cant replace our heart for an extra liver...We could drink more and care less!!

starryk

I figure we all deserve a break once a week - I take my break with 2 vodka/lemonades friday night... Lemons are fruits. :drinker:

I think you should switch to Rum.
