What size bottles we talking about here?

Wow! You can drink 3 or 4 bottles - on your own? I *am* impressed. DH
and I have been known to "share" the contents of *one* 0.75l bottle over
the course of a whole evening - but only if we don't have to drive
anywhere ourselves. Mind you, one of my silly rules about drinking
alcoholic beverages is that at midnight my wine glass turns into a tea
cup
I know, I know - sf already told me I am a "lightweight" when it comes
to booze - sigh...
