Wine is more alcoholic than you think

Drinking red wine instead of beer
People who think that drinking wine is 'non-alcoholic' really get on my nerves and I really think those snobby wine drinkers should (firstly) own up to drinking not 2 glasses of wine but 2 bottles a night!

It made me smile when 'experts' appeared on Sky News recently saying that some wine drinkers are consuming far more alcohol than they realise and their livers may suffer in the long run. You don't say!

| 13-4-2008 | The last time I looked, there were more fruit juices and squash on the shelves than types or beer. Why is there a need to drink several pints of beer to find out how nice it is? No... this is pure addiction. Taxes on alcohol should go through the roof | old grouch |
| 18-3-2008 | OG: Because five pints of milk or squash wouldn't taste very nice. Beer actually has a wonderful flavour and aroma (once a taste is accquired) and there are so many different flavours and recipes out there. The same, if not more so goes for wine actually. Drinking alcohol shouldn't be co...more | Jules |
| 17-3-2008 | Jonny- a bottle of wine is nowhere near the same as a bottle of vodka...consider the alcoholic content and the average bottle of vodka is about equivalent to 3 bottles of (average strength) wine.
Oh and I think it rather amusing that Jane thinks that these "middle class" wine drinkers buy...more | V.Bomb |
| 11-3-2008 | I can't understand drinking alcohol at all. Most people wouldn't dream of drinking 5+ pints of milk or squash - so why drink 5+ pints of beer? | Old grouch |
| 13-2-2008 | You are so right people who have a bottle of wine are actually drinking to the equivalent of a bottle of Vodka or spirits, this would do the exact same damage to their livers but as you said they think because they are middle-class they seem to be Immune from that fact, perhaps that's why middle...more | Jonny |
| 13-2-2008 | Relieved but understanding...... I'm glad no harm came to your family but at risk of being a bore, this thread isn't about the benefit of large vehicles. So many threads go off on a tangent on this site it beggars belief.
Please don't take my comment the wrong way. It is not intended to...more | Freddie |
| 13-2-2008 | Jane, my aunt is the same as you describe, however, her 4x4 was nailed by a HGV on the school run and if she had been in anything other than a large form of transport, she and my 4 cousins all aged under 5 would have been killed. | Relieved but understanding. |
| 13-2-2008 | Pete,
The other chap happens to be female - not that it has any relation to the comment.
Yes, I don't drink and yes, its my choice. If you re-read what I said, most people don't notice I don't drink and are shocked to find out - which probably means I don't make an issue of it. ...more | Non-Drinker |
| 13-2-2008 | No offence taken Freddie, you don't sound middle class? (there again, what kind of person would raise their hand and say "I'm middle class by the way..."). It was that other chaps comment that irked me!
Personally I like a beer in the evening, but that's my choice and I...more | Pete |
| 12-2-2008 | Pete...I agree with you about people that shove the fact that they don't drink down your throat. They're as bad as ex-smokers. I don't think either Non-drinker or myself did that though. I for one certainly don't think I'm any better for not drinking than anybody else. It's j...more | Freddie |
| 12-2-2008 | I hate that term "teetotal" and I resent the way that ex-drinkers and non-drinkers who use it, do so in such superior way.
Okay, so you don't drink and it's your choice. You're no better than the man (or woman) you're standing next to who enjoys a few pints or likes t...more | Pete |
| 12-2-2008 | I have been teetotal since my teens - by choice, as I didn't see the benefits of hangovers, money on booze, and the stupid things done while drunk. Its almost ten years later and the only alcohol to pass my lips has been a glass of champange at my wedding for the toast, which I didn't even f...more | Non-Drinker |
