Who is to say. We try to stick to 4 bottles a week (but that way I getto
buy better wine!)

To each his own (you might be 7 feet tall for all I know :-))
As for me, its generally one glass after dinner. That's all.

Two to three bottles/week (one is usually my home made). Unless it's
hot I don't drink beer or any other booze except martinis.

One person downing a bottle/day maybe a bit high but add a wife or
significant other then drink up. ;-}

All the best,

The two of us drink about a bottle of wine between us every
night - I probably get more than my share. I know a few
couples who manage two bottles every day! I won't mention
the many wines I get to taste as a recipient of wine
companys' hospitality.

We seem to average one btl/night. Now, this usually includes a starter white,
whatever is felt appropriate with dinner, then a Port, or Madeira afterwards.
Maybe that is why some of my posts, later in the evening start to turn iton
gobl;ew y dplkk! G

Dining out, we usually go for 2 1/2 btls, unless we have guests to help out. A
bit of this does depend on if we are driving, riding, or have taken a limo.
Dining out on vacation (no driving, usually), we might do two btls over the
course of a long meal - or 4 1/2s.

Is that it? Excessive? Hardly. My girlfriend and I drink at least a bottle
per night, but probably three nights a week, it's two. It's always two
bottles if whatever we're cooking requires a cup or more of wine. In those
cases, we will usually polish off that first bottle while cooking, and then
drink something else with the dinner.

However, if we start out with cocktails, we'll usually stick with just one
bottle.

You are being moderate. Don't stress about it.

More or less is OK too; just don't go apeshit in either direction. 2x =
OK; 4x = a caution; 6x = heading for trouble.

If you decide to move more strongly toward consumption, please let me know
when and where these parties are going to be! ;^)

I am going to break from most replies and say that 1 bottle/night is
a little bit excessive. I know, because for a long time my gf and I had
one bottle per night and sometimes two. Lately, we have been cutting back
to about half that (3-4 bottles per week) and I have to say that we both
feel a lot better. We're getting better sleep and overall just feel a lot
better. I think one bottle per night is just too much to be considered
'normal' and 'healthful'.

Now I understand your rude and dismissive post about glassware. Will you
be joining AA soon? Can we recognize you by your glowing red nose?

Well Kevin, since you asked.......

If you're asking about it, you must be at least somewhat concerned about it.

If you're concerned about it...........

But the generous lasses are much more fun when driving and one is
usually enough :-)
