How's the head Taz 

It's fine on two glasses of wine thanks CLKD. It's the stomach that's sometimes a problem - it just doesn't like alcohol nowadays.

A bottle of wine a night is too much but it's difficult to realise that when it doesn't have an effect on us. It's strange how we don't see it as a poison or how we can overlook drunken behaviour quite often but not the same sort of behaviour caused by drugs. Until my friends developed different cancers I had no idea how big a part alcohol has to play. The other thing about drinking a fair bit in the evenings is that you are still over the drink drive limit the next morning. Three non-drinking days a week is recommended and they are not to be consecutive. So difficult to achieve that if, like me, you like a glass of wine each night!

When does one become an alcoholic if 1 is drinking a bottle every night?  That's greedy 

[honeybun]

When the one bottle becomes two, and then the first drink of the day gets earlier, and then hidden from others.

My daughters works in a local Spar. They go out the back of the shop at break times. They have all spotted someone who lives next to the shop hiding booze in his garden shed. Problems there I think.
One of my mothers brothers was an alcoholic. I saw first hand the havoc it brought on a family.

Nothing wrong with a drink as long as it's just a social thing.

I have always had a limit as I hate being sick....it has happened a few times when I was much much younger.....but a bit of a right of passage I think, but I learned when to stop.

Babycham - remember that  - would make me really windy, not after the drink but in the early hours of the morning  …….. it took a while to associate the awful queasiness with the drink after that, I avoided it.  Same more recently with anything alcoholic, it gives 'i' wind 

[CLKD]

I didn't realise at the time though  - Coca Cola does it unless I remember to sip rather than slurp  and don't get me started on Champagne 

Because of the awful queasiness with Babycham I soon went of alcohol.

[honeybun]

Babycham was great for a hangover 

Not that I had that many ...well a few in my youth. Given the fact I worked in kitchens feeling icky was not the best thing.
I know I probably shouldn't...but I will.

When I was about 21 I worked for an oil company and was given the huge privelage of serving in the management dining room.
I had been out the night before and was shattered with a very sore head. I had laid the table as it was all silver service and just sat down in the directors chair for a wee rest. I wakened up to 14 men standing looking at me with my head between the directors knife and fork. How I was not fired on the spot I do not know....they laughed rather than getting mad.
When I think of it 

The things we...well I did when I was young

Thought you would like that....when I think of it more than 30 years on I still get embarrassed.

We could have an embarrassed thread here but people would recognise me 

DH is making a cuppa ……. he likes a tipple occasionally, helped ease him through the weekend at Mum's 

[honeybun]

Oh go on.

Our most embarrassing moments....
 
I have more than one 

In fact I have a lot.
