    Just curious, how much do you drink when you slip?

    My last slip was in Mid February before I started my Campral miracle drugs... Went on a bender for 4 days and had 4 full size bottles of vodka, 1 bottle of southern comfort, 3 bottles of champagne, 3 bottles of red.

    Disgusting. I plan to never be there again.

      Hey D. Although I try to stay a.f. and go for about 6-10 days at a time, I will have 1 - 2 drinks in company, but by myself I will go for 1 bottle of wine + a half more. When I'm really working the MWO program, it's so much better.:h

        Ugh. If I open a bottle of wine, I have to finish it. The really bad days are when I open the second one. Ugh. Nothing good happens after I uncork the second. Nothing.

          Too much for me

          Too much for me is when I was polishing off a bottle of wine - not the real big one but the regular size 750 ml. Oh, it always started off with I'm just going to have one...then that would lead to two. Pretty soon I was on my third and then there was so little left in the bottle that I always had to finish that off too. Always a hangover with a whole bottle the next day.
          Just too much for me to handle. I have to say I have been surprised to see posts at how much some can drink - e.g. 10-15 drinks. Not that I'm judging but for me I think I'd die of alcohol poisening. My first husband actually did die from that exact diagnosis. :-(

            Gosh, thanks so much for everyone's response...it feels good to hear the real honesty about it. I can go eons of time AF, but when I'm drinking, like now, it's about a bottle of wine a night. I just don't feel the will to stop..but I do want to turn it around. I've been dabbling with the idea of going back on the topamax, but I felt so bad on it..and my husband even commented that I was always feeling sick on it...but..I'm drinking AND I'm gaining weight..vanity might win out on this time around. It's such a baffling thing...it was just short of two months ago that I was feeling the good stuff around being totally AF for close to 5 months...

            The most I've ever drank was close to two large bottles of wine....very rare, maybe once for that one...one large bottle by myself is a serious wake up call which I usually follow with a good period of AF...

            thanks so much for sharing...I don't know exactly why I needed to know, but I did..and I feel a lot of gratitude for your sharing...

              I too could polish off a bottle of white wine all by myself.
              Does anyone have an idea how many grams of sugar that would be?

                I'll have a bottle of vodka a day for as long as it takes.
                I should be dead by now.

                  monacat, there's a TON of empty carbs in a bottle of white. I recall that a bottle of wine has approx 800 calories...yow! not sure if that's red or white but a whole bottle of anything is a crummy idea (for me).

                  Diditforme, don't psych yourself out! you've done super and should be invigorated by that. Take that feeling well through lent and lean on us when you need to.

                    If I slip, it will be on wine. I can stop at one or two, but if not I will drink the whole bottle..and if I want more I'll open a second one. If I don't have a second one I'll drink GrandMarnier..then I feel like complete shite the next day. It ruins my whole day with my family as I'm too tired and trying to hide it, then I feel guilty for drinking that much and trying to hide it.

                        At the heaviest point of my drinking I was polishing off close to a 1.5-liter bottle a day. I was able to slow that down a little bit because my body just couldn't handle it, but basically, I would drink as much as I had time to drink (i.e., when I was not working).

                        Before joining MWO I was usually drinking at least a 750 ml. bottle of red wine a day (good for my heart, right? ). Since finding MWO I have had periods of abstinence and periods of moderation, but I have to be careful--it is so easy to want more!!

                        When I have slipped, I have drank almost a 1.5 liter bottle of wine-- combined with topa, it's a hangover that really stinks! I think that knowing I shouldn't be doing it made me want to keep going, just like a dieter who eats a piece of cake and figures, "Well, I blew it, I might as well eat the whole thing!"

                            Yep - i know that mentality too. And then when I finally go to bed and I think - Oh crap....I really hope I don't feel too bad tomorrow. Maybe I should drink some water." Ah, but the damage is done. Water is helpful, but it can't undo all the damage. And the next morning? Well I know once I get up all I can do is hope the day goes by fast so it can be over and I will feel human again. What a terrible cycle! Glad to be free(er) of it!

                              At my worst I live on alka seltzer; It did take away the hangovers, but not shame or guilt

                                At my worst...well now we're talking years ago... I'd drink a whole 5th of vodka, just straight outa the bottle, till it was gone(a day).

                                More recently, when I'm bad... it's a 12 pak of beer a day, sometimes for days on end. Not a good thing. The drying out & self -loathing is the worst!
