Teetotalers...put the kettle on.?

Ha ha Annesixty! I think you can quite reasonably put your intake down to hip pain relief! I know my DH did before his op in February!

Good answer Pantglas.
I just hadn't figured the reason out for myself ?

We had a bottle of wine with Sunday roast 3 wks ago. It was a thank you from a neighbour for a favour done by Himself. Before that we hadn't touched alcohol since my birthday in January.

It's tea, tea and yet more tea for me. I put some beer down for the slugs yesterday and drank a small glass for myself.

Now if I had something big to celebrate I'd still prefer the tea as I'm not keen on champagne or indeed anything fizzy. It's a free country and I reserve the right to be boring.

Like you, farview, our one glass has crept up to two or three most nights since lockdown. Wine-o'clock starts at 6pm before supper and our excuse is that it marks the transition from afternoon to evening while we are stuck at home!!

Recovering alcoholic so No !!!

I used to enjoy a drink till I realised I was drinking too much and decided to stop altogether. I don't really fancy even one glass but apparently just the one is actually good for you as it thins the blood. So I'm trying to drink one small glass of wine a day.

We still only have alcohol at weekends
* Jane* ?? What's wrong with Mon-Fri?
Or is that Tanqueray No.10 strong enough to last all week?

Hope it isn't just me..(honesty please ?)

farview Of course it isn't! I'll support you both physically and metaphorically and even keep you company if you lose count after three, if necessary!
Can't be more honest than that, as Dell might say!
Note that only 52bright is proffering a toast! Sisters in arms!.
Here's to your Good Health!
Cheers!

Cheers Rufus..although I shan't be having ?until 8pm....

Bluesky, the excuse of 'Thins the blood' was the very same one that my 90yr old Dad used to say, at the time he was actually taking Wafrin tablets, he accidently over did it until he was suffering from regular bruises for the slightest thing, and started to have fainting spells aswell, and nearly died.
Alcohol is fine in moderation and enjoyed responsibly, but its just oh so simple to start on the road to hell with over indulging, and one hell of an horrific journey to recover back to normal life, just not worth risking in the first place.

Julia as you say and as everything else, fine in moderation!
