The past weekend was yet another one filled with booze. It’s got to the point now where come Saturday afternoon I feel the need for a drink and I don’t care what it is.
This Saturday I had polished off a bottle of Spanish Wine before 4pm. The problem is I knock back a bottle of wine like it’s a drink of water. If the truth be told it is definitely getting a problem and I know it’s time to knock it on the head.
On a Friday when I used to go shopping I would buy just one bottle of wine for the weekend. Now I find myself buying a minimum of 3 bottles just to see us through the weekend.
Last week the supermarket had offers on Chilean wine and French wine, so I really went for it and got a couple of each.
My problem is that if its in the house I will drink it and in all honesty, I’m not fussy about what the drink is. For Christmas we were given a bottle of Sambuca and a bottle of Baileys. Over the past couple of weeks, these 2 bottles have been finished off. I think the problem is that instead of using the shot glasses we use a great big wine glass!
I think the only solution is that I am going to have to stop drinking any alcohol for a while. It’s going to be quite hard work, but i think it has reached the point where I don’t have a choice.
I think my other half will have a few words to say about this, but I’m sure he will appreciate why I am doing it.
Mind you, I think the ban can probably wait until the weekend, so giving me time to polish off any booze lying around the house. I think I still have a nice bottle of gin stored in the cupboard, so I think perhaps I will go and get a bottle of tonic to drink with this!!
