Am I considered alcoholic if I drink wines and champagne and not liquor?
I am like you and have the same question. I like to drink good wines everyday, but not bad wines or other alcohols.I get a little stressed at nights if I do not have a glass of good wine, but I do not feel better when I consume other alcohols, beer, whiskey, brandy, or Japanese-sake. I tried many nights with other alcoholics, different amonts much or little, or different types or different prices.Iwas never satisfied. But on the contrary, when I have a glass of good wine, just 1 glass and it satisfies me, althogh I can empty a full-bottle in 1 night.I have come to the conclusion that I am a wine-holic, not an alcoholic, not yet.
Am I an alcoholic if I drink a bottle of wine a night?
You are the only one who can decide if you are alcoholic, and it’s not an easy decision. You are already thinking about your drinking, so here are some things to think about, before you make your decision:what else have you used to manage job stress?how long have you been drinking at this rate?have you ever decided not to drink, then been unable?do you drink in comfortable social groups/situations?do you ever drink alone?has your drinking effected you performance at work?have you ever done things drinking you would not have done if sober?A “bottle” of wine is commonly around 750 ml (about 25 fluid ounces), or about six four-ounce glasses. The “four ounce” size is important because thats the (nominal) amount of alcohol your liver can process, per hour. If you are drinking “a bottle” in six hours (4pm - 10pm) your liver can keep up with your consumption; you will certainly be relaxed, probably tipsy, but not “falling down drunk.” An hour after drinking, it is probably safe for you to drive. If you are drinking two bottles in the same period, all bets are off; your liver cannot keep up and both size and genetics are against you. There will still be measurable alcohol in your blood six hours after you stop drinking, and driving is out of the question.So, if you want to quit, quit for a week or a month and see how you feel. See if you can cut down either frequency or amount. See if you can both control and enjoy your drinking; most normal drinkers can. If you can, great; if not, get help.Lots of places will help, if you want help. None of them will help unless you want help. Most doctors will pull out the DSM-V, therapists will suggest pet therapies or treatments, and rehabs will take your money, align your chakras, feed you a non-GMO diet, or teach you to meditate. ALL of these will work, if you want them to work.If you try these alternatives, but still find yourself drinking when you don't want to drink, or unable to stop when you want to stop, call AA. Or RR. Or MM. (Seriously, Alcoholics Anonymous, Rational Recovery or Moderation Management - what is it with double-alpha names for recovery groups?) Sample some meetings of whatever recovery program(s) you fancy, and see what works for you. Just as it is your call whether or not you're an alcoholic, its your choice where, when, and how to recover.Or you could just stop - who knows, it could work. Good Luck, whatever you decide.
What happens when you drink a bottle of champagne every day?
It depends if you drink alone or with friends or family, It also depends if you drink in several moments during the day, or in one occasion. And it depends if it is during meals, or while you are reading or seeing tv.Many people drink 1/2 bottle of wine per day (0,375 l) at meals. Some only a glass per meal.It depends of the way you drink it…
If I drink a whole bottle of champagne in a short time will I hurt my liver?
and if I drink it after having some food will it make the job any easier for my liver since naked alcohol would probably hurt it more since it has to just process alcohol but this way it will probably be easier processing food with alcohol together?
What a good Champagne for someone who has never drank it before?

How much champagne does it take to get drunk?
It depends on a lot of factors: - How big you are. - How much on average you drink (or your tolerance). - Which gender you are (women absorb more alcohol into their body on average than men do). - If you are a female, you absorb more and feel the effects more when you are menstruating. - How much food you have in your stomach and what (if it is easily absorbable like rice or bread). - What kind of champagne you are drinking, some are more potent than others. I can only speak for myself, an average build 5'4" woman who ate a moderate amount of food, drinking standard champagne (nothing fancy that's been aged for 10 billion years), who drinks from time to time and has a medium-low tolerance...probably could do 3-4 glass before I got drunk. P.S. Drunk in champagne land is much different than hard alcohol or beer (in my opinion) its a little more relaxed and giggly, at least for me. As my French family stay girl said, "The champann, it make you geeggell!"
How drunk will i be if i drink a bottle of champagne?
Of course you won't die, well not of the alcohol anyway, no one can say what else may happen. And if you drink it sensibly, and slowly, you should be fine. There is a problem with that though, the champagne will be flat by the time you finish it - so a better option may be to get together with a few others drinking the same, all get a bottle, and open them one at a time. That way you still get the same amount, but it's all from freshly opened bottles, not ones that have been going flat for hours.
About how many 12 oz. beers would an entire bottle of champagne equate to?
Can anyone tell me about how many 12 oz. beers would a whole bottle of champagne be equivalent to? I'm going to buy some for a friend and I, and we're usually beer drinkers. We usually have about 4-5 beers and get a nice buzz. So in order to achieve about the same level of intoxication, I'd like to know how many bottles of champagne I'd need to purchase, or basically how many 12 oz. beers one bottle would be equivalent to. The champagne is 12.5% alcohol, by the way. Thanks in advance.
Is a bottle of wine a day really that harmful (I drink it with meals throughout the day)?
First, you must understand that alcohol is a drug, like any other drug that you take for disease treatment, like metformin for diabetes or clonazepam for anxiety. Moreover, alcohol do have significative and important biological effects on the liver function, so it is always recommended to not ingest alcohol at all, to avoid not only liver damage, but also alterations in metabolism and other endocrine and neural functions (since alcohol affects the neuronal communication as well).However, alcohol is not that harmful, like many health professionals and health services says. In small doses, the effects of alcohol will not be of many significance to your body, and there is a continuous debate about the good and bad effects of "drinking a glass of wine per day" or other similar things. The fact is that, wine in particular, has many other substances that can be very good to your health, like antioxidants. But, of course, wine contains alcohol, that is never good to your health, even in small doses. Sometimes, alcohol can be used like a drug to treat anxiety or even relief pain (as it was used in the ancient times, for such purposes).A bottle of wine per day is clearly much alcohol for a day, but I would say that is not that harmful as many think. HOWEVER, I put a big exclamation here for your habit: as others answers here, drinking this much of alcohol for some time can cause you health problems in the long run, for many reasons. Like a said, alcohol alters neural function, muscular contraction, endocrine functions, the liver and also irritates the gastrintestinal tract. All this together can lead to many "alcohol related" problems in the future. So, it is NOT RECOMENDED that you continue to take a whole bottle of wine per day.You can try to reduce this amount of wine gradually, taking just 3 glasses of wine today, and next week 2 glasses, until you can stop drinking wine, or drinking only half glass of wine per day, what can be considered a good and appropriate amount that your body can take care of.
