3 drinks max a week

2 glasses of red- which means I am done for the week

Had a glass of red after dinner. It was what was left over from the bottle my boyfriend and I bought to celebrate our anniversary last week. We had different types of soft cheeses and crackers with it. It is a very tasty but inexpensive wine. I like to pride myself on finding wines that taste three times the price :)

I want to keep tabs on this because I know that alcohol tends to put weight on you which is something I don’t need. Plus I wonder since there are some real drinkers in my family that maybe I could have the gene. This way I will be able to keep an accountability record for anyone to see.
I chose this amount because I heard that 3 glasses of red wine per week (not on the same night) is good for you. I do make exceptions for special occasions of course, yet sometimes I regret it, lol. On Saturday of last week I had a friend I haven’t seen in a while come and visit and we each had a couple beers. Then this week, it was my anniversary with my boyfriend and so I had a couple glasses of wine. He poured the first glass and I am wondering if it was more than the normal 5 or 6 ounces because I felt a little light headed after my second.
