Wine?

I know we all like it and I certainly have a weakness for the stuff, but at the end of the day - it just doesn't agree...
Last night I opened a bottle, this was after a whole week of abstinence. Of course - I had to finish it, can't have just half of bottle laying around can we? Think of the children.
Today - whilst no hangover, I just have not much energy.
Conclusion - stop with the wine completely:(

I have wine near nightly, and I buy the little cans of it - portion control, right there. If I have a bottle, I'll tend to drink the whole thing too. It's not even because it's alcohol, I just like the taste.0

Blasphemy!
Get up and get out there....then get to the store for another bottle of wine and enjoy a glass next time!

You'll have to prise this bottle from my cold dead hands!

We go in cycles...some weeks it's only Friday evening and Saturday evening. This last week it has been before dinner for the last few nights...I do notice I don't have as much energy in the morning after.
Still....I won't give it up. :drinker:0 -
Well, look from a positive side of things... at least you're lucky that you are not a whiskey lover.0

try to keep it under 2-3 glasses a day. You gotta be able to enjoy life, right? that's what this all about anyway.0

Just don't drink the whole bottle...0 -
Wine in cans? Sounds a bit American/Australian to me;)
I think though - portion control really is the issue. You'd think at 45 I'd be able to manage it by now wouldn't you:)0 -
Wine is adult grape juice. I'm sure all of us have accidentally had a few too many without intending to do so, haha.0

Life without wine?? No, this is wrong. Just shove the cork back in and enjoy it the next evening. :drinker:0

I used to kill a bottle all by myself in an evening, but too many calories! Now it is a couple glasses and that is it.0

I'm american and I can't fathom cans. Perhaps she's speaking of the new recyclable containers? There are a few decent ones out. And they do make a 3 glass version. :-) I'm good the next day as long as there's only THREE glasses. The fourth and I'm useless the next day. Just tired. No hang over.Wine in cans?

So glad the DW and I don't like wine. And I live in a wine making city!!! I have wine stored for guests, but last time I drank some was a sip for a toast at a reception.
Just for info: alcohol inhibits fat burning. So if a lot of one's calories is committed to alcohol, it may impede how weight loss from fat is going.

Feel free to send any unwanted wine to my PO box.0 -
I've read this before, yes. What I understand is the body it burns it first, and won't burn other "things" til it's gone. Is that the story?So glad the DW and I don't like wine.
