I drink 5-10 glasses of red wine per week, what is my status?
No sugar coating it here. I don't believe I need AA meetings, but would like to know if my drinkling could be considered exessive. I typically drink 1-2 glasses of wine every other night. I'll go a few days without any, then share a bottle with my wife, of which I drink 3/4 of it. So in all, I'm consuming about 5-10 glasses of red wine per week. Is this too much? Some articles say it is even healthy, but judging how I feel sort of crappy in the morning after even just two small glasses, I don't buy that.
So where do I stand?
Answers:
In the "real world statistics" you're not even close to needing AA. You feel crappy in the morning-- probably because you're not a real big drinker. Wine has that affect on lots of people. I come home from work about 3 times a week and drink about a 6 pack of Bud Light. Sometimes I go weeks and don't want any, sometimes I drink more.
My point-- drinking is not a problem with your "everyday" life. It's not causing you to miss work, it's not like you're getting DRUNK as soon as you wake up in the morning. You drink occasionally, and that is perfectly FINE. As long as your habits don't increase into your normal "business day".... don't change a thing! Enjoy your wine!
Cheers!
