    I dont do units. Just the odd beer or drop of wine from out of the fridge in the evening, perhaps a few times a month as opposed to a few times a week. Dont do sessions anymore.

    Mmm...me too...I could easily polish off a bottle of wine of an evening at home. I often drink alone too as my partner works away but a bottle is spaced out throughout the evening and I am never drunk going to bed and rarely wake up with a hangover unless I've been out and drink more than that. Some nights I couldn't be bothered opening a bottle so I don't rely on it I just really enjoy the taste of a nice red, it relax's me and I don't (or ever have) smoke cigarettes and don't do drugs so it's my only vice. We keep spirits and beer in the house with plenty of mixers etc but to be honest it would never cross my mind to make myself a G&T or open a beer if I had no wine in the house so it's not as though alcohol rules my evenings it certainly doesn't. I realise all these units add up over a week but some of my friends could blow 40 units easily in one night. I enjoy to drink at home but it seems a bit of a social taboo.

    Don't drink that much - last time I had a drink was about 5 weeks ago.

    Just not bother any more in drinking.

    With that NHS calculator it came to 9.7 units, i dont drink that often and when i do, its only to feel the effects not become wasted.
