I think you’re asking on a wine forum, so you may see some skewed responses here.

I think that’s a lot. Actually, given the definition of binge drinking (>4 drinks in a night), I think drinking 2 bottles of wine with two people would qualify as binge drinking, which would not be healthy for your liver.

4

A bottle of wine is the equivalent of 6-7 beers. So, going on a third bottle… let’s say your in the 8-9 beer range. To rephrase your question to avoid a touch of bias…

Are you okay with the fact that you’re drinking 7-9 beers a night, every other night?

5

If they are mags of 07 CnP then no…

6

Yes.

7

Only if it is with Sushi and/or Raw Oysters…

8

+1…but at least you give yourself a day’s break in between [cheers.gif]

9

Is it good stuff or plonk?

10

You have to ask yourself what Charlie Sheen would do. Two would be just a start.

If you fall asleep watching Bravo, yes. If it is followed by an 8 ball, clubs, and women of ill-repute, no.

11

Seems like a lot.

12

This is obviously problem drinking. If it’s about “exploration”, nothing stops you from pouring half of a bottle down the drain.

13

yes, it is bad.

14

If you want to “explore” two different wines, why not pour half of each bottle into a clean 375 mL bottle? This way you try two wines and get to see their progression over a couple of nights while only drinking two glasses each!

15

So you’re averaging 1 to 1.5 bottles yourself, every other night? I think that’s on, or a little outside, the high end of the range as far as alcohol and calories, I think (depending somewhat on how big you are and other factors). Not extreme, but probably not something to do (or build upon) over the long haul.

A suggestion: save a few empty 375ml bottles. When you open your two or three bottles, immediately pour half of each through a funnel into half bottles, recork and refrigerate the half bottles. Now, the two of you can explore and compare the two or three wines, plus revisit those wines a day or two later, and benefit from seeing a small amount of slow evolution of the wines over that time. All while cutting your calories and alcohol consumption down into a comfortably safe range.

16

[wow.gif] We agree!!

17

Yes. You’re drinking a full bottle of wine every other night. That’s quite a bit. It’s 5-6 drinks. If you were pounding down 5-6 martinis… what would you think?

18
19

5 or 6 martinis is more like 2 bottles of wine, isn’t it?

20

And now we get the rationalization and ignoring of people who think it’s a lot. Why ask, then? Oh and drinking more? Doesn’t make you more of a man contrary to your last, pathetic sentence.



Carl - not from what I’ve heard. 1 glass of wine = 1 beer = 1 mixed drink. Roughly, of course since beer varies in alcohol. We’re also talking about a single drink… not a double, etc.
