The Trouble With Wine

Last weekend was yet another booze filled one for me.  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.  To be honest I think it’s getting a bit of a problem and I know I am going to have to knock it on the head.

It used to be when I went shopping on a Friday I would just get 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.  One of the problems is that we don’t use shot glasses as we really should, but instead fill up a 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 partner might have a bit of a grumble about this, but I’m sure he will understand my reasons behind it.

Having said all that though, I think the ban can come into force at the weekend, so that gives me a few extra nights to finish off any alcohol still at home.   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!!
