A bottle of wine a day...I like the way you work. I think we need to be friends. :drinker:
Ohhhh indeed we do babycakes! I see you are a fan of tall tanned men with a thirst for wine!!:bigsmile:
Tall, short, tan, pale- as long as there is a promise of wine, I'm there!0 -

This might be fun! :devil: Drunken good fun!0 -
yes, sadly, i limit myself now to one glass with dinner.
but really, lose the merlot -- malbec is where it's at.
Right? I loves me some malbec. Right now I'm partial to tempranillos though. Tempranillo pairs well with a glass of Tempranillo0 -
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" limit0 -
I love all the serious posters on this thread, I just want to cuddle you all for being so well meaning with your advice. :drinker: :laugh:0

OH OH I did it agaoin yesterday!!! I flexed a bottle of Chardonnay! I did however have a monster workout!! I might have scared some people..........HA!!!:bigsmile:0 -
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:0 -
WIN!!!!!!!
Although I don't drink much wine, I could never give up going out for drinks with friends.0 -
You're a man and as such can tolerate more alcohol than the average woman. A glass or two of red wine is healthy, but a bottle every day? I don't know. You should ask your doctor and possibly get your liver scanned.0

I like your thinking!!!................as long as we work them off right!?! :bigsmile:0 -
I'd suggest switching to vodka...but, you know...all those carbs.0

Doesn't count if you drink it standing up.0

Let me paint a picture for you:
My friend asked me to get a glass wine stopper for her when I went to Venice.
I replied with "People re-cork wine?"0 -

The vitamins in your multivitamin negate any bad effects of the wine. So feel free to get "wine-y", but get late night hard core physical activity in order to avoid temporary weight gain.0 -

I work for physicians. If you told your doctor you drank a bottle of wine a night....they would diagnose you as an "alcoholic".
I too used to drink this much and I weighed about 40 pounds more than I do now. Now that I don't drink except perhaps twice a month, I realized that my problem wasn't really with food, it was with alcohol.
Do you drink a bottle and not "snack" while drinking? I always ended up eating again once I drank because alcohol made me hungry. I would end up consuming around 1200 more calories a day just by drinking on a daily basis.
If you don't mind being "labeled" an alcoholic by professionals, you don't snack while drinking , and you got a good liver, then do what you feel is right The choice is yours.0 -
No way, you're doing us all a favor and filling the wine deficit that MFP creates lol0

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.
Agreed! That really can't be a smart thing to do :S I love my vino but there are just so many things wrong with this concern (if it is legit).0 -
