Is it terrible to drink an entire bottle of wine by yourself in one evening?

I mean, I did everything I was supposed to do during the day - and then some. I returned a lost passport to the police, wrote a press release, did massive amounts of laundry, let my friends know I care for them, took my vitamins. I'm just bored and sad, I guess. It cheers me up to drink and listen to music. I don't even feel that drunk! But is an entire bottle too much? Do you ever do this? Tell me about your drinking habits!

only one bottle?

Well, just one so far!

Some facts: the wine has been "carefully blended from selected vineyards in New Zealand's premier sauvignon blanc growing regions". I am 153cm tall, 46 kg, have just had my hair cut. I am home alone, the house is very clean. It is winter.

I do it sometimes. As long as it's only sometimes, enjoy the music-booze fun, rainy.

This phenomenon is referred to in my life as "Thursday".

i have done this. you would feel worse in the morning if it were red wine instead of white.

rose ftw ^

too much white wine at once makes me kind of loco.

As long as it's only sometimes

This, really.

it kinda feels noteworthy that i DIDN'T drink a bottle of wine last night. i don't know what was wrong with me.

i was just thinking the same thing

I drank myself a bottle of vinho verde last night with dinner -- does it count if you drink two bottles with someone else?

In one evening, no. In one morning, yes.

maybe i can come round and share it with you?

vinho verde i find almost impossible not to drink a whole bottle at once. it's just so... quaffable. but it has slightly lower alcohol content, so not quite the same as a bottle of white or red. i have drunk full bottles of white or red many, many times in an evening. it really depends on the duration of the drinking. if i open a bottle with dinner (or while i'm making dinner), at say 5 p.m., and carry on replenishing the glass until i go to bed, that becomes like 4 or 5 glasses over 5 or 6 hours, or longer, and i might never even feel buzzed at all. and there'll be very little hangover because the body's had time to process it as it goes. if i drink a whole bottle in a more compressed time, i will definitely feel it the next day, so i try to avoid that.

i think "a whole bottle of wine" sounds like a lot just because it's a whole bottle. but it's not really any different alcohol-wise than having 4 or 5 beers, or 4 or 5 drinks of any kind, in an evening. which plenty of people do routinely. (who, me?)

you're a tipsy mothra though

i'm high on life.

Yeah, 1 bottle = 1 serving.
imo.

Is it wrong to be so resigned to thursday consumption of a bottle of wine that you don't even use a glass anymore?

on your way to a tom waits character

the only thing really wrong with not using a glass is that a glass makes wine taste a lot better. aeration. but if it's shitty wine, i guess drinking from the bottle would be ok.

lady, if you have to ask.

I used to do this all the time, but not anymore.

Bachelorhood rules.

Only done it once or twice but it was enough. (I think one time it was a bottle of champagne? I was out of it by the final glass.)

have done this many times, do not do this anymore. I have cut down on alcohol lately, planning on continuing it, feel great, if a little bored! Will drink a bottle of wine at the weekend chilling with friends or whatever though.

start worrying when youre talking about boxes of wine imo

drinking wine from the bottle seems depraved and seedy, except if it's champagne, in which case it is preferred imo

true, champagne is good from a bottle. all other wine, no

^ I was just posting this same thing in different words. The bottle makes it seem somehow serious, but if you just had four sizable glasses, you wouldn't think much more than "eh, I might not have needed that last one."

With a long enough, good enough meal, a bottle a person can seem like hardly drinking at all.

word

Also this thread makes me wish I could find the old Rainy thread with the guy who swished around like "a fancy robot" or whatever it was.

I did this twice in the last week. The perfect quantity of alcohol.

Same but I just don't really enjoy drinking that much anymore. As long as it's just a normal bottle and not a jug, magnum, or box then you're probably fine.

my "perfect buzz" in college was 1 magnum of cheapo red + 2 or 3 bongrips

the same quantity these days would ruin me completely

that is a great buzz!

tho i prolly woulda done a cheapo white or blush :\

thinkin about doing this tonite.

Yeah, dude. I cannot punch my weight anymore either. I'm solidly on the senior tour circuit. Which is cheaper, I've found.

No. I did it once when a friend and I unsuccessfully attempted to sneak into a horrible community theatre's production of Kiss Me Kate. We did this as we had a friend in the show but this theatre group was notorious for bad productions and we had snuck in successfully in the past.

Well, needles to hay, we got thrown out and had the whole tonight to ourselves now so we went to a wine bar and I was already kind of loopy on wine and said "hey what the fuck I will buy a bottle of wine for just little ole me", a cheapo bottle of wine that was only $24 and tasted like nail polish and rat ass.

One hour later, I was vomiting in the sink of the Applebee's next door...filling it to capacity.

$24 at a wine bar? wow.

i've been hittin a bottle of pinot gris for a while now tonight and it is delicious.

hi dere

a whole bottle of red in an evening knocks me about quite a bit less than a whole six pack of beers

a bottle of wine makes me wanna do different things than a six pack of beers for sure

I can handle my beer...I'm partial to pale ales and bitter beer with lots of hops.

what kinda things xpost?

haven't done this in ages, which is good, but ditto: bottle of red while you hanging out w/music generally makes me waaay more maudlin than a sixer

I swear I posted here. Huh.

Just finished a bottle of Potuguese Vinho Verde.

Day drinking is WAAAAY underrated.

start worrying when youre talking about boxes of wine imo

Aye otm etc. :D

NB if you find yourself in Estonia, remember that the 3L bag-in-boxes marked VIIN is actually vodka.

A box of shit red wine is A++ for making calimocho with. Maybe even sangria.

Oh dear calimocho. (shakes head slowly and sadly, but not without a vague nonironic smile revealing happy memories)

tonight this is happening.

so jealous u_u

Is it wrong to drink a bottle of wine?
No it's not wrong but I must know
How can someone so young drink wine so bad?

I did this (+ another 1/3 bottle) a couple nights ago, whew. I drink straight from the bottle whenever possible, for probably the same reason/s I eat spaghetti straight outta the pot. Switching to box wine cuz I'm poor.

i'm totally gonna make it to two bottles tonight. i can feel it! okay, maybe one and a half. by myself!

i can only do 2 bottles of white. with red i've pretty much flaked after the first glass of the second bottle

At 145lbs and next to no tolerance I think two bottles of wine would be my death (or misfortunate injury). That's the level of slosh when I become dead certain I can climb things, then attempt to climb them; it's just a matter of time.

A half-bottle (375 ml): fine.
A standard bottle (750 ml): fine (I presume you weren't driving).
A magnum (1.5 l): that could mean trouble. But right now I'm tempted to try it.

a bottle of wine and i just manage to avoid a hangover in the morning

I drink cask wine all the time but you can get half decent 2L drinkable casks here... that or I'm not fussy, who knows.

Is Hardys by the box any good, Trayce? Been meaning to try a box of red. I love their tawny port.

This has become all to common for me. Not every night, but more than once a week.

Well just did a whole bottle tonight. Wife was out earlier this Sunday afternoon and I was home with my 2 later teen childen deciding on what to have for dinner. Decided upon a nice Beef Stirfry with noodles. Preparing all afternoon watching HGTV and wanted to use some red wine in the beef marinate but was unable to find the bottle opener (daughter 19 yrs had it up in her room of which she got in shit for, either buy your own or return the items you borrow and move to unexpected locations). Anyways had to wait for her to get back home from work, no big deal. When she got home the beef was already marinated and did not need the wine for prep time but, hey, a glass for cooking with wuld go just fine. Well, starting to pull the marinaded beef out and the cutting up the vegies and the pots for the yolk free noodles and other pots, made me say yes to a glass of nice full bodied red wine. Started with boiling the water for the noodles and then stir frying the beef, it was time for perhaps a refill. Next came removing the beef and starting the vegees and shortly after, draining the noodles and starting to stir fry the noodles with strips of hot dried peppers and green onions. Well the dinner is read to server and everyone is home. Sitting down at the dinner table, it is now time for glass number 3. By the time dinner is almost totally consumed, I am looking at my 1/3 full glass of wine, thinking again that beef and a nice red wine go well together, once again as in previous sips. Anyhow, once finishing this glass, and helping with cleaning up the dishes, pots and frying pans, it was finally time to relax on a sunday evening. Empty, is there any more, sure, well fill her up. This is my 4th glass.... only 4 glasses in a 750 ml bottle, 200 ml each glass well maybe that is a lot, what do you think.
Anyhow, getting up and rinsing out the bottle to take back to the lcbo for a bottle refund and coming back in to the family room with my wife " " onlyt to hear, there is a name for those who drink a whole bottle........ Well there is a term for those type of people :).... anyhow, whatever... There is always a 1st time for everything. When you have a sore shoulder and a tooth ache, it just helps once in a while but you know what some people just cannot understand ANYTHING other than what they grew up with.....

Moderation is what I believe in.... moderation.....

Thanks for reading.

I have a question. Was that your first post on ILX?

fuck a relationship. might do this tonight even though I have work tomorrow woo woooooooo

streamline should post again imo

you know this is easier when you realize a bottle of wine is just three cups. hey!

No, if you are saddo and have work tomororw, wine is the worst thin to drink. You will get a very nasty hangover.

I'm drinking a riesling right now tbh

no sulphites right?!?

whiskey is more efficient

;_; don't temp me, darragh mac

I do this at least once a week, usually more.

I hear ya, brownie. I'm gonna go open a tin of sardines right now.

This is pretty much the perfect ammount of alcohol if you're staying in. Little or no hangover the next day whereas a six-pack or wthaever will have me feeling like shit.

you know this is easier when you realize a bottle of wine is just three cups. hey!

^ this. Pretty much A-OK by me.

just about finished with a bottle of cabernet sauvignon. It is not bad at all. i have plenty of practice though.

I'm a great bloody soak when it comes to drinking wine...almost impossible for me not to finish the bottle by myself. Luckily Once the cork is out the wine just seems to just 'disappear', and right quick. I've heard of sipping the wine but apparently it's not something I practice.

Luckily for me and my head, I don't do this half as much as I used to. Oh the red wine hangovers. Owie ow.

Well, that bottle went quickly.

I only have one glass at a time.

http://www.liquorsnob.com/pictures/full-bottle-wine-glass_18.jpg

1 bottle isn’t so bad; I've managed 2 on a number of occasions. Not being able to sleep and just sipping away over an evening and into early hours is easily done.

For me anyway :-/

in honor of this thread, I now plan to drink a bottle of wine 2nite.

:))))))))

last night i had 4 sweet tea lemonade martinis, 2 shots, 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine

and i feel great!

nearly done w/ the bottle and still feeling only slightly buzzed.

last time I did this I then smoked some hash and threw up within the hour : |

getting drunk and listening to ne-yo on nice headphones = there is no better way to spend an evening alone

Drinking a whole bottle of wine vs leaving about half a glass in the bottle to trick yourself and the universe into thinking you haven't basically drunk a whole a whole bottle of wine.

that is the last refuge of truthers. finish it and be a man.

gonna do this tonite

Way too much way too often lately. Bit worrying.

You know what happens when I do this? I wind up posting ridiculous and embarrassing things to ILTMI. :/

this morning I was relieved to find I had limited myself to gushing posts on ILM
