Every now and then a thread pops up where we are invited to discuss how much we drink.

I take it all with a pinch of salt - which is actually best placed on the rim of a glass of margarita.

wine cheers! grin

look forward to Sat evening sauvignon blanc nicely chilled. Cheers!
Today had Asda delivery. Brought in some bottles in bag. Thought it was just lemonade that I didnt order. Rushed to door to catch driver and he thanked me and said ' you dont drink gin then?' I'd almost got a load of pink gin and tonic by mistake!

I don't drink very often but I preserved some ginger in brandy a while back and I've taken to having a tiny drop of it in a cup of sweet coffee in the evening. really look forward to it!

I don’t sleep straight through nowadays if I’ve had alcohol so only indulge once a week and enjoy the fresh-as-a-daisy feeling when I awake on t’other six mornings.

This started in my fifties so I had a good innings! ?

We still only have alcohol at weekends. It's what we've always done and, right now, it helps to highlight the actual weekend after days of exactly the same inactivity.

May I join you in a glass farview? I do have either a G and T or a glass of red most evenings. I think I was more inclined to give it a miss a couple of nights a week before the lockdown. Quite often dh joins me but I must admit to usually being the instigator.wine

I do enjoy my tea. We did have a bottle of wine with our Sunday dinner a few weeks ago, I thoroughly enjoyed it, for a change.

We have a glass or two if friends pop in, in normal times.

A cup of tea for me. No alcohol.

To be honest ( as you request that virtue) at the moment, it’s so warm I prefer a glass of lemonade with ice cubes.?
However, I often like a G&T of an evening, but am not drinking any more than usual , although understand why some people are doing.Whatever helps you through the night.

I love to have a glass of wine in the evening..but at the moment..probably have two..and occasionally three....anyone else? Hope it isn't just me..(honesty please ?)
