New challenge
As you know, I have been trying to cut down on alcohol for some time now..
1/ stick to the daily allowance which is a maximum of 3 units a day, maximum of 21 a week (it’s unfair that guys are allowed 5 units a day)
2/ no drinking during week days
Limit myself to the daily allowance is proven to be hard as 2 x 125ml glass of wine of already give you 3.2units, I can easily down 1/2 bottle without even noticing it. Funny enough, I have been talking to people about unit measures and surprisingly, a lot people have no ideas how it works and assume one small glass of wine is simply one unit (heellooo!!?) Anyway, I haven’t been doing too badly, with exception of one or two occasions where I have completely lost track of how many units I had, well, it’s hard when the waiters keep topping up my champagne and stuff…
I have kept drinking diary since beginning of the year to help keeping track of my drinking (and how much I spend on alcohol)
week 1 - 10 units
week 2 - 14 units
week 3 - 10 units
week 4 - 10 units
week 5 - 19 units (I blamed the work lunch!)
week 6 - 9 units
week 7 - 19 units (hmm.. no excuse)
I’ve been thinking… it’s almost end of February and it’s time to set myself a new challenge - I would love to cut down to 5 units only per week - so 2 small glasses of wine on Friday and 1 medium glass on Saturday.
Ouch!! this is gonna hurt!!
