    I too am a WINO! I'm struggling with this - glad you asked the question. Do you factor the wine into your calories? I always do... but have noticed that some days I'm drinking 1/3 of my total calories which means my body isn't getting the nutrition it needs.

    I gotta have my wine... am trying to keep it to 1-2 glasses.

    I know what you mean babycakes.........I sometimes drink 1/3 of my calories!!!!!!!! Kraaaazzzzyyy but true.
    Ok that will be my new year resolution to cut back a little!!
    But just a little:devil:
    You should toast to that resolution at midnight with a glass of....oh wait......
    Silly, there's no such thing as "too much" wine! I mean look....what if you didn't drink the whole bottle. When you put a stopper in the bottle it NEVER seals correctly, then you have *gasp* EVAPORATION! Good grief! That's HORRIBLE!

    Well yeah I'm sure I could work it into my daily cals, I could just drop a meal or 3, hell if it fits into your micro's why not? I could maybe do 500 cals on food 500 on wine, and i'll come in under 1000. Awesome work :laugh:

    Right? I loves me some malbec. Right now I'm partial to tempranillos though. Tempranillo pairs well with a glass of Tempranillo

    They say you shouldn't drink more than 21 units of alcohol for a man and 14 units for a woman per week
    and have 2 alcohol free days per week

    In a bottle of wine 12% alcohol there are 9 units so if you have one bottle
    everyday you are having 63 units of alcohol per week 4.5 times higher than the
    recommended "safe" limit

    Its like my daily ritual usually. After work I hit the gym, then shower up then dinner with wine...............and wine night cap afterwards. I know they say a glass of wine a day is good for your heart. Im averaging about a bottle of Merlot a night. Do you think I might be overdoing it a bit?

    I do work out alot and take a daily multivitamin!:bigsmile:


    I refuse to apologize for this love affair :drinker:
