Thus far the alcohol is stashed outside in shed - cold and wet wander should I feel the need isnt very appealing - .

I've tried this....to no avail. If you wanna drink, a drop of rain ain't gonna stop you. Eselt had a good idea when I did this (which I failed to take up, I just kept going to the shed instead ) which was to wrap the bottles up in really fancy paper / decorations & give as Xmas, or other, presents.

Two pints of Lager or 5 SMALL glasses wine is classed as binge drinking.

Yep.DH bought 2 x litre bottles of Whisky for £20 because it was a bargain.
Not really....He just drank more over the weekend because it was there.

I can already hear Bis saying....at what cost to yourself....& he's so right. It's still money you could have not spent, & like any "bargain".....would you have bought it if not on offer?

For some reason I need to get this off my chest, maybe hoping it will be cathartic (sp?) .....in my earlier post re the weekend I told the truth but not the whole truth, as I am very, VERY ......

when OH & I had the row last night I was going round flinging all my stuff into a pile to storm off back to my house (a five-mile......erm, drive) with, even worse, DD & dog on board. I was so ANGRY. This was an all-time low for me, to endanger DD & other people on the road cos of my drunken temper. OH said the right thing - I could do what I liked but I had to leave DD with him. That brought me to my senses, but THEN I had to explain to DD (9) why I wasn't allowed to take her. Then it all calmed down & we were all OK (& OH still blames my hormones! Is he blind?!) but I'm horrified at what I was going to do, obviously it was dark too, feel so bad for DD that I got her to pack all her stuff up too (she wasn't upset, as it happens, but even so....) I feel all-round big-time mortified & so, so ashamed......& I was also feeling bad that I was keeping this to myself, this thread has that effect on me, don't want to deceive you all.
Sorry....a ramble....

Wish I'd caught Jeremy Kyle now (!can't believe I'm saying that.) I managed a double level of binge drinking yesterday, maybe I should count my boozing in binge multiples rather than units. Not a good sign.

Although even my friends I consider the pretty sober ones hit binge drinking when we were out on Friday by that definition of 5 small glasses of wine. More food for thought.

Fingers crossed for an AFD today. Need to sober up still after yesterday I think.

Fay, I think Winebox's idea is a good one to wrap those bottles up. I think that would be more likely to stop me (especially if I liked the wrapping paper and/or had written the gift tag) than having to put my coat and shoes on as it's still less effort than getting to the nearest shop.

Sounds like halloween was a horror for lots of us.

So far today have had 2 mugs tea, 1 mug coffee & am on 4th pint of water (!) & still don't need a wee (TMI) - having a lot of trouble staying awake here. Wot a state.
