Just curious, how many bottles do you go through on a weekly basis ?

The folks at the recycling center are starting to look at me very strangely.....

The wife and I finish at least one nightly, call it 8/week.

The wifey and I tend to go through around 5 bottles a week. I'm considering uping the stakes, though Big Grin

A fine wine is like a fine woman, you love having one, you just hate paying for it.

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds it might incriminate me.

bugger all now that the quack has put me onto pills that are contraindicated to alcohol. Frown With any luck it shouldn't be for too long.

Five bottles of dry wine a week I think, between two of us. But almost no other alcohol all year, except for a bit of beer in the summer, and of course the odd port and dessert wine....

snow sucks, cold is worse.......

Probably around 6 bottles per week. This is just a guess, as I am too afraid to count and find out the true depths of my depravity.

I go through a bottle a week, my ex goes through two four packs of half bottles a week, and together we go through about three on a good week, otherwise it's one. *sigh* I'm a broke underweight.

Maybe on my author site I should ask for contributions to my "starving/thirsty artist fund"
