Really Trev? 3 bottles of wine and the odd whisky between 2 people! I drink far more than that in a week (and I mean several times more) and there is no way I am an alcoholic. An alcoholic is somebody who is dependant on alcohol and can't control their drinking, I am not and I'm sure Peter isn't.
I went through lockdown without a drink and it didn't bother me in the slightest apart from missing the social side of drinking. I very rarely drink at home and I'm pretty sure that most alcoholics do.

To be honest Peter, I would imagine that 3 bottles of wine between yourself and Sue is more beneficial to your health than harmful.

More than 3 drinks a week is classed as an alcoholic if repeated all the time, iv had one beer in 4 years.
If drinking 2/3 times a week every week that is dependant, even in my youth i would not have even dreamed of consumming that amount.

Utter Bollox Trev.
Anyway three bottles of wine between two and the odd Scotch is probably not far off the recommended limit.
By your reckoning probably 70% of the country are alcoholics. Give your head a shake.

Then the Irish dont drink as much as folk say, there was hardly any booze allowed in our home except a small bottle of whisky for sore teeth and maybe sherry in case the minister arrived out of the blue.
When out with my mates at a music night i had one beer as they did before hitting the lemonade, i must be the odd one out it seems.

I'm not. I don't really care what the stuffed shirts define as an alcoholic either.
If they've moved the goalposts again, I'm glad to live in a nation of alcoholics which includes doctors, nurses and medical experts everywhere.

A good old friend of mine started of with a few and a fag when out at weekends, then the few became a drink each night untill he lost his job when the boss found out about his drinking.
Early this year he went and had hipnosses to cure him, after that every time he tryed to smoke or drink he was sick, now total free of it.
After a while the truth came out as why he drank, his father a well known chemist shop chain owner here was abusing the family, his sister commited suacide, not a good start to life and hence the heavy drinking started, and worse was the father was never out of chapel and a devout catholic.
Some times things in life leave me blank as to what is going on, by the way my posts are not ment to be offencive to anyone esp Oppy, just what i see in life as i go through it.
