I drink it within 2-3 days, a couple of galsses at a time. I don't call myself lonely, when I am out I drink coke. I just like drinking wine in front of the telly. Occasionally I let someone else have a glass!

One bottle of wine a week is within the unit guidelines for a woman in a week. Just be careful it does not creep up!
Cheers!

In response to Hailey D- if you are telling her not to make a habit out of it, and then tell her to make a 'schedule' of when she can and can't drink- then don't you think that woud be making it a habit? ANYWAY. To the women asking a question, it seems to me if you are posting about this on Yahoo Answers asking our opinions, you might be trying to justify what you already KNOW is a problem. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, you know you're limits (I HOPE! :) ), and if you feel that you are doing something wrong....stop. If you find in withdrawling that you are having problems doing so, then you have hit the nail on the head, and can solve what is bothering you. If you simply like a glass of wine now and then, by all means, have one- but don't use that as your crutch to enjoy a nice night in front of the TV. Good luck to you!

My question to you is:
Can you live without having that couple of glasses of wine?
A person with alcohol dependence:
has a strong desire to drink alcohol,
has difficulty controlling their use of alcohol,
persistently uses alcohol despite being aware of the harmful effects, s
hows increased tolerance for alcohol,
and shows signs of withdrawal when without alcohol.
Do you fit into the above?
Check out this link - very informative!
Hope helps!

no you're not. I drank 1+half bottles of scotch per day for15yrs. thats an alcoholic. I want my mid life back but its too late, its gone forever. I haven't touched a drop for five years and I'm happy to have survived with my health and family intact.
NO...you are not alcholic, and a bottle of wine per week is under the 15 units per week guideline.
Please keep it there, I know the agony too much can bring .
Enjoy your wine, wish I could join you
Cheers

Nothing wrong with enjoying a glass or two of wine. Go to www.aa.org , take the test online to see if you are an alcoholic , I suspect your not. However ,if your are it is good the you found this out early before you ruined your life and the lives around you .

Hi Tinkerbelle, I am a recovering alcoholic(20 years sober). Do you have any other symptoms? For instance-Do you think about drinking at all? Is it affecting work, relationships? Can you stop for a long period of time-say 6 months. How does it make you feel doing without it? Can you take a drink and then stop and not have any more for a couple of days?
Please email me if you want to ask me anything.

See how long you can go for without drinking that bottle of wine. If it's less than a week, then you have dependency on alcohol.

Would you be asking this question about a cup off Coffee or even a chocolate bar.
Totally absurd, to think your an alkie because you like to chill with the LITTLE treat of you choice.
If it turns into a bottle or 2 a night then you have problems.

An alcoholic isn't defined as someone 'who drinks loads of alcohol', it is someone who is 'dependent on alcohol'. If you feel that you couldn't cope without this one bottle of wine a week then maybe you need some help.

I drink on average a bottle of wine a week and I think its great.
Some times it`s nice just to relax on your own and enjoy a glass. I would not consider myself or you an alcoholic. It`s just our treat time. Enjoy.
