It was pretty good. There was a lady on there who drank a bottle and a half of vodka a day. That was scary. Her children were drinkers, and one had died from drink.
Didnt watch it all as the football was on!!

Wines
A small glass (125ml) of 8% abv wine contains one unit of alcohol. However, British pubs and restaurants usually supply larger quantities (medium: 175 ml or large: 250 ml), and few wines are as weak as 8%; 12% is more typical. A standard pub measure (medium glass - 175 ml) of white wine (at 12%) contains around 2 units and a large glass (250 ml) contains 3 units. Red wine, which usually has a higher alcohol content (up to 16%), contains for an average 14% abv an alcohol content of 3.5 units for a large (250 ml glass), approximately one-sixth higher than a typical white wine. Just two bottles of 14% abv red wine a week will supply the maximum intake of alcohol for a man recommended by UK health guidelines.
A 750ml bottle of 12% wine contains 9 units. Many wines may contain 14% abv or more, which is just over 10 units of alcohol per bottle.

I have really done disgusting things on drink in the past , not so much lately. In 2000 I was pregnant and drank and one night i was very drunk on wine , fell over , hit my head sooo bad , had to be picked up by a taxi man. Lost the baby a few days later . I dont know why I still drink . Im a fool in denial I suppose . Anyway ive a few days under my belt and I need to keep this up.

You are not a downer. Sometimes I think it is theraputic to put it all out there. And, it feels safe here. No one will judge you and we know what you are going through.
