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,

Larry

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'.

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 :-)

LOL!
I wouldn't object to two... but my wife probably would have an opinion

Chuck, you're being too Polyannish. Whatever the subject, be it food,
wine, sex, the human species is always interested/curious how other
members of the species do things.

I hardly think an average of 2.5 glasses per night is something to be
concerned about. And Kevin, that's about my average as well. One bottle
of red every couple evenings, although I have drank a whole bottle of a
chilled white throughout an evening with no negative consequences.

OH yeah, I drink two bottles a day.

lol, not really.

I probably drink a bottle of (usually LBV) Port each two weeks, and two
bottles of wine a week, if not three on occasion.

I was just razzing you about being an alcie.

I knew that you were only funning me.

My remark about the glasses - I have a very wealthy friend who has the most
expensive wine glasses that you can buy - he also has the cheapest wine
glasses you can buy.
The same wines from either glass, tastes the same to me and everyone else,
who has done this "glass tasting"

In this world there are many people who think if it costs more, it is
automatically better.

To be fair the more expensive glasses felt better in the hand - the stems
were very thin - when you swirled the wine you could feel the stem flex from
the weight of liquid in the bowel. The glasses themselves (the cheap ones
and the expensive ones) were extremely close dimension wise.

I don't believe that the shape of the glass makes the wine "flow out and hit
the tongue in a special way" I believe that is BS, just marketing hype.
I also do not drink wine from a jelley glass, that I believe makes some kind
of difference.

Hey Pete,
You caught it, I should have because I made the same "spelling" mistake
some years ago in another NG. That one word completely changes the
meaning of the whole message, and makes one's thoughts turn to
something I can't imagine, and certainly won't discuss in polite company.

Apologies to ozwick, we couldn't help it. :-)
