so there was only a tiny bit of wine in the box last night and I did not open a bottle, or a beer, or pour myself a vodka tonic, so can that make last night a 0?

Works for me!! Good self-control, can you send some my way?

HI all, new here, but definitely not new to being a lush

I am a huge wine fan - and box wine fan, since my husband and I found we were easily going through a bottle a night. boxes are much more cost effective and easier to store, though we have aquired quite a lovely wine collection as our friends know we are lushes and many bought us cases as wedding presents haha

I gave up wine for Lent, thinking it would cause me to drink less as I typically have a glass or two every day. It worked for maybe three days, until i remembered there is something called beer. I havent had any wine during Lent, but sadly have subbed in beer. The good news is though that i dont drink it every day like I do my wine, so i guess it still served its purpose.

anyhow, hello and happy wednesday all!

. Fiancé won his pool at work so he is $540 richer as of last night, I asked him what he's going to buy me

:laugh: Totally would have said the same thing :laugh:

Welcome new lushes! The more the merrier :happy:

Sunday - 1 1/2 margaritas
Monday - 0
Tuesday - 5 oz. of Chardonnay - not sure why...new brand and I didn't even like it, but they always seem to taste better the more you drink, but I really didn't like it or I would have drank at least half the bottle :blushing:

Wed - what happened??.................beers, Jameson shots, & a lemondrop shot..................my team won the season opener

ok my breakdown for the week thus far:

Sunday : I actually have no idea. I was at a friends house watching NASCAR (yes, we're those people) and her two year old thought it would be fun to kept fetching myself, my husband, her beer......so i lost count pretty quickly

Monday: I believe I only had 1 16oz miller lite

Tuesday: 2.5 16 oz miller lite

Thanks for the welcome KriscoOil!

My goal tonight was 2 glasses or about 12 ounces of wine. But then the wine tasting fell through and then.. I got stressed out by the cannons being fired at the resort I'm staying at.. so I walked to a bar next door and had wine.. 3 glasses before dinner (looked like the bartender poured them 5oz) and another glass after dinner (looked like a 6 oz).

So my Thur ended up at 4.. or about 25 ounces of wine, 5 ounces of that was Pino Grigio and the rest was Reisling.

Cutting myself off for the night now at least lol. :blushing:

Dot, your doing fabulous with control

So, we went to BBW and I abstained from the alcohol. Mostly because of the son's 1st communiun. Probably not good to have a tipsy mom at church==it could scar a child :blushing: and cause years of therapy
