But I'd say 1/2 glass at most and I'll probably pass out from that. Haha! I'm a total lightweight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-242613 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:05:52 +0000 dagret 242613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well who knows where I will be after this pregnancy but it used to be 2-3. 2 gets me nice and buzzy and 3 is a really good time.. 4+ is bad news. I sprained my ankle really badly at Christmas after drinking w my aunt and cousin (she's a serial topper, I thought I was only on glass 4 when it was more like 6...oops.)</p> <p>Edited to add - I am a lot more fun on red wine than white. On white, I start to get bitchy. On red, I looooove everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-242466 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 17:44:23 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 242466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one. I never drink except for those "I reeeeeally need to unwind" nights. So, 1 does the trick to unwind me. 2 makes me a little bit loopy which defeats the purpose of unwinding and relaxing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-242449 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 17:19:07 +0000 MrsH 242449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-2.5 although my tolerance is pretty high so I could do more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-242407 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:29:03 +0000 MrsBrewer 242407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just 1. I get really warm and itchy if I drink anymore than that! I've never been tipsy/drunk off of wine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-242397 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:19:58 +0000 Honeybee 242397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, 0.5? I'm a lightweight, and even one beer is enough to get me tipsy for the evening, so one full glass of wine is pretty much guaranteed to get me drunk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-242391 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:17:39 +0000 birdofafeather 242391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 is perfect for me. any more than that and i'm looking for a tipsy/drunk night. and i've accidentally had a whole bottle by myself. DH was not pleased. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-242001 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:20:57 +0000 BoogieBea 242001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 glass per dinner or while cooking. 2 glasses during dinner would be ideal for me. But lately I've been having no more than 2 since I've just started drinking again. I've gotten so used to just taking teeny tiny sips that it takes me forever to drink a glass of wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241986 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:13:36 +0000 BSB 241986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One. I'm not a big wine drinker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241865 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:01:18 +0000 Charcole2011 241865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: thank goodness for your response - I was feeling like such a wino compared to everyone else! =) I can easily drink a bottle myself also on a weekend/party night, too. During the week I usually have 2 glasses at least a couple of nights. I think I am reeeeeaallllly going to miss my wine once I am preggo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241740 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:27:31 +0000 Modern Daisy 241740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's at happy hour and there's no food (meaning it's most likely a work event), max 1 glass otherwise I get super drunk and feel really sick. In that scenario I'll usually order a glass of red and either hold it the entire time and pretend to drink it or I'll switch to light beer.</p> <p>If it's during and after a meal over an extended period of time I can probably drink up to 4 glasses and still hold my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241739 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:22:57 +0000 heffalump 241739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero. One sip and I have a migraine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241696 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:55:22 +0000 Trailmix 241696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I usually split a bottle but I can easily do a bottle by myself if hanging out with the girls...this weekend, my friend and I put down 3 bottles between the two of us in one night :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241685 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:51:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 241685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 is perfect, 4 puts me into a loopy-state with the possiblity of a slight hangover. I'm guessing 2 will be my limit after baby comes, I'm sure my tolerance is gone (sigh I miss wine!) haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241665 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:38:34 +0000 MrsLMA 241665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3 usually. 3 if it's a good wine. The 4th glass always gives me a hangover, unless we're drinking over a longer period of time. And somehow at weddings I can always throw back a few more without TOTALLY hating myself the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241645 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:30:24 +0000 mrsjyw 241645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1-2! Lightweight! Depends on the wine though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241640 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:29:10 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 241640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: Mmmmmm malbec. You'll have some soon enough! I told my hubby he needed to bring some to the hospital so I could have some as soon as I delivered. Lol</p> <p>@JessLC: ok good, I'm not alone. Perfect description, btw ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241611 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:11:07 +0000 Rubies 241611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one!

I can easily drink a bottle (it's really only 4 glasses!) by myself if it's a weekend and we start earlier/stay up later. On a weeknight, I have 2 -2.5 or so.</p> <p>I have missed the taste of wine since being preg, and I took a few sips of DH's malbec a couple of nights ago it quenched my craving:) I heart you, Malbec! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241511 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 02:47:40 +0000 looch 241511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say one glass is good, 2 is great and anything more than that is just bad for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241472 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:23:31 +0000 MaisyMay 241472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've got really big glasses, more like goblets, so whenever we would have wine, Hubs and I would just split the bottle. I guess that means two glasses. We'd never open a second as we wouldn't be able to finish it. Wine sounds really good right now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241471 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:23:25 +0000 red_seattle 241471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I had Baby X? Just 1, sadly. 2 or even 1.5 makes me tipsy these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241464 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 23:57:51 +0000 daniellemybelle 241464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1, or 3. One glass if I am just having a drink with dinner or after work and don't want to get sloppy. Three glasses if I want to have fun :) Two glasses and I'll be asleep on the table, guaranteed. I have to get that third glass shortly after the second, too, to push through the sleepies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241463 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 23:54:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 241463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How I miss 3.

Glass 4 is when i start to get sloppy. 4+ means a hangover the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-perfect-number-of-glasses-of-wine-for-you#post-241408 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:46:50 +0000 HLK208 241408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one.
