Best wishes to Caroline Peter.
We have two bottles of wine over four days, always with a meal. Then three days without. Occasionally we'll share another bottle over two days mid week, but not often.
We don't have the addictive gene so we can do without, although I much prefer wine with food. I've never drunk beer. To me its fizzy pop, and I just don't see the attraction. Even real ale.
Over the hols, we'll also have some champagne, and port, and brandy or whisky, but not much, a shot or two maybe.
