Anyone else drink a bottle of wine per day?

I would stick with vitamin D3, 5000IU a day plus 500 mg of magnesium. Don't get too complicated. Just try to be as simple as possible and enjoy life.

My husband is the same, he polishes off a bottle of red pretty much every night. He also mountain bikes about 100km's every week. He is healthy and productive. If you can handle it, there's no problem. Me on the other hand, am the worse binge drinker. I won't stop until I've fallen down. So I don't drink at all now.

That's awesome. To live long and be healthy and still have your drinks, that's how it should be. I guess it's just genetic. I don't know. Like I said, my alcoholic mom got Alzheimers at 55 but then again she had a total hysterectomy at age 42, was on hormone replacement therapy (now proven to CAUSE DEMENTIA), and she already was already breaking bones in her 30s just from minor slips, so there was something else going on there. Her doctor told me it was because she drank a bottle of wine a day. I just have a hard time believing that.

I take 4000 IU of D3 a day. I take Bio-D-Mulsion Forte by Biotics Research. I don't take any magnesium though.

It's bad for your bank account's well-being.

I need better meal planning then. I have a terrible diet. This is what I've eaten all day:

Breakfast/lunch - Cup of miso soup, one raw carrot, one turkey hot dog (no nitrates)

Dinner - Jack in the Box chicken teriyaki rice bowl. Yeah I know I cheated with the grains but I had no other options while I was out and about.

That's all I've had to eat and I dont need to lose weight, so the wine will help me with that.

Yes it is. We are talking $150-200 a month.

Start making your own.

I think it takes a whole row of grapes to make one bottle of wine if I recall correctly. I would need a lot of grapes! Maybe I should just go back to vodka. I will get more bang for my buck and I won't crave it like I do a nice, smooth glass of wine.

Or I could just quit. When I am good and ready. When things settle down in my life. I lack really good friends and that isn't helping. The friends I have are really nice but they aren't people I'd totally open up to. I have two friends that I could do that to and they don't live near me.

withdrawl from sam-e should't make you crave alcohol but it could cause additional depression.

If SAMe was doing something for you, consider switching to Tri-Mythl-Glycine (TMG). Amoung other things it is a co-factor to help your body make additional SAMe.

5HTP and Saint Johns Wort should help.

DMAE can also help with focus, attention and helps reduce alcohol cravings.

During bad phases of weakness, but not usually.

i drink a glass less than 2 bottles of barefoot cabernet a night. starting at 5pm until 11ish pm bedtime.

i've done this for years, no ranting or raving

i'm not recommending it, just stating it ain't the end of the world if you get along fine with it.

OK?? OK..

I drink a bottle of wine a night hell I used to drink a bottle of whiskey a night. To be honest I'm slightly intoxicated at this current moment enjoying a bottle of wine right now. If it makes you feel good I say enjoy it!

If you are drinking everynight and hanging around with your children you dont deserve them.

Chain smokin' alcholic uncle lived to be 78. Mean as a rabid dog, but survived that long.

If you have a way to express your agressions, I suppose you'll live a long life regardless, OP.

I prefer 1-2 glasses red wine grown from radiation-free soil. Many wines in france are from radioactive soil, they think it's a great way to refurbish the land use.

I drink two glasses of wine per day. If I start to want more, I cut back. A bottle a day is a bit much. Someone suggested exercise, and I agree, it makes you feel good, even a long walk each day will help.

BTW, I take a very low dose of Zoloft, and it works for me (for my ADD specifically). I don't know, but I'd start with exercise. Good luck!

I have been drinking a bottle of wine almost every night for the past 10 years. I am 36, have a dream job and have normal relationships. However, I eat very healthy and drink a lot of water/natural juices. I think this has helped me to still be healthy though wine is my vice. When I get home and start making dinner it's how I relax after work to shut my mind off and help me fall asleep. I know it's not ideal but either is eating McDonalds or smoking. We all have these vices and if you don't, how blessed you are to have no problems.

i do- i am an alcoholic though.
stick with beer and you will drink less- it bloats you up.

I prefer to call it the act of being alcohological, the study of which is alcoholonomy, in varying measurements of alchotude.

I often do, but not in order to deal with "nasty" reality, but to enjoy that said life. Life is good, and wine is part of the good things in life.

It's partially a cultural thing [ I'm a feckin' Bulgarian ], because I've grown up in a place where our smallest wine barrel was 200 liters "big" [ it was, in fact, small, and you can do the calculations for your gallons ]. My grand and grand-grand dads used to sit on the lunch and dinner tables with amounts like 1-1.4 liters, it was just part of the everyday meals. No one ever had liver issues, too. Your liver can get fucked from toxic stuff, not from some good, organic fermented grape juice - that's what good wine is.

In fact, at the moments when life sucks a little - less moneyz etc, I can't afford to have it, so I make a good detox pauses, it happens often enough ya know :D

Also, based on our cultural perception, we do not consider wine and beer as alcohol, just because real men do drink them as much as they please, and only wussiez get drunk from beer or/and wine. Real alcohol is the really strong schnapps we also brew at home, that has nothing to do with these toxic liquids sold in the store, which I refuse touching.

Reality is very personal thing.

Oh, all of my ancestors died in their minimum late 80's, some quite close to 100 y.o. and none of them because of liver issues. You guessed right - they were pouring good wine down their throats all life long.

Cheers ! [ not now, now life "sucks" a bit hahahaha :D ]

I drink beer or wine every night to excess. Been doing this for at least 25 years now.

Do not eat at least a few hours before drinking. I try not to eat and drink together. Best is to eat hearty early then nothing later. I cannot stress this enough.

Coffee. Drink as much as you can the morning after. Rehydrate with six to eight cups of coffee/ tea. No sugar or cream. No soft drinks. Water is okay.

High protein breakfast. Eggs sausage pork. Stay away from high carbohydrates until later in the day. Pork is a good source of b vitamins that alcohol uses up.

By the way I work out (walking) every day and am in better shape than 90% of my coworkers.

My old man did. Three cases of pancreatitis later he developed type 2 diabetes and switched his jones for wine to hydrocodone. He's 78, has a pacemaker, congestive heart failure and still smokes a pack a day. For the life of me I have no idea how the grim reaper hasn't yet collected his ass, but I can only conclude his continued neglect of himself is like some weird badge of honor. It's like it's all he has left in life.

no thanks on alcohol just shroomz 1/8th to the dome and go

I do. Well, up until last week.

Honestly, it's not even intentional, just before I know it the bottle is empty.

Last week I drank 4 strong cocktails, a bottle of wine and finished off the night with cider.... all in roughly 6 hours.
I didn't have a hangover, which I clearly deserved. I was a little concerned about my intake anyway but that tipped the balance. I've since, made a bottle last 3 days! Also, didn't have any alcohol today even though it's my day off.

I wouldn't worry about it at this point as it has only been a week but keep track of time passing by. I have been drinking like this for over a year and don't have any kind of dependence but since alcoholism appears to run in my family (if that is possible) I am always conscious of how much I am having.

I drink about half a bottle a day (2 glasses) of wine, and Im a healthy, regularly exercising 30 year 6'4" 250lb male. I did this for about 4 months and upon my most recent doctors visit my blood pressure was down to the correct range, cholesteral down, all good things. So when you keep it in check, things work out well. My quality of life was great, very low stress. When I gradually worked my way up to a bottle a day due to lifes stressors and the thought process of "one more glass couldnt hurt" I found myself downing a bottle a night, sometimes more. This began to affect my sleep and I was groggy the next day.
I also started gaining weight, and thats never a good thing.

I eventually just quit alcohol for a month since I noticed I was out of control. I recently started drinking 1 glass a night again, but you must make certain to not overdue it. When your quality of life suffers from drinking, its no longer a soothing medication and therapy, its unfortuneatley a problem that needs addressing.

So yeah, one bottle a night of wine seems like too much for me and Im a big guy. If you get that low alcohol stuff (ya know, 7-8%) then I guess that would be ok, but a full strength 13% bottle seems like it will do more harm than good.

It is 12:30 EST. OP do you want to be this person? Drunk before noontime?

I just peeked into this thread out because of nosiness basically. I used to drink for whatever reason: kids, stress, inner pain, etc., etc. That was a long time ago. I didn't quit because someone toldl me to but because it was literally killin' me. I'm so glad I don't drink today because if there is any time to be alert, it would be now. God bless you.

Weed solves all your problems here

I do! I have a fully functioning life and a great job and an awesome family.but during dinner ill pour myself a glass of wine and after the kids are in bed for the night ill finish it through out the.night over about a five hour period...me and my.husband have great conversations and an excellent relationship it helps.us.unwindm ..it seems like a lot especially to a person who doesn't drink I don't see anything wrong with it. As long as you know your limits.
A bottle of wine doesn't compare to a bottle of liquor.
enjoy your life you squares.
