Is drinking a bottle of wine to yourself really that bad?

Question

A friend told me she did this last night. At first I was like, whoa!!! But then I thought about it. A bottle of wine is approximately 4 glasses. The one she drank had 9% alcohol content (white wine). Is this really that bad?

Answer 1

One time, no.  Doing it regularly, you're begging for alcohol poisoning.

Answer 2

As long as it's not every night! One of my friends has a pizza and wine night every Friday and will polish off a bottle by herself, but she doesn't drink at any other time. It's all about the total picture and not the stigma.

Answer 3

It is a wonderful thing.

Answer 4

I agree that an occasional (one or two daily) glass of wine can be beneficial to the average person's health, but a whole bottle of wine in one sitting is a lot of sugar for the body to process, and I'm sure she woke up with at least a slight hangover.  If a hangover was involved, then the body had too much.  A whole bottle of wine over a long evening with some activity (like dancing or walking) and food would prevent any toxicity of the body.

Answer 5

It's all good. Sometimes you just have to drink by yourself to get away from stress..........our wines are usually 12-14%

Answer 6

9% sounds like table wine..  Its not bad for her..

just remember wine before liquor never sicker.

Beer before wine, you'll be just fine

Answer 7

that's okay.

Answer 8

red and white wine are actually good to your body because it cleanses your body...

Drinking wine is not bad, however; you should only drink wine occasionally not to the point it acts like your everyday water. What is your age? Do you have any background about illnesses and liver problems? These are just some which are concern to wine drinking. Yes, drinking a whole bottle of wine is really a "boom" but you need to control yourself since too much wine may damage some of your organs because it still has alcohol content. 9% is fine but don't try to do this often.

You may have drank a whole bottle but give yourself a time lapse or few more gaps before you bottomless another bottle. Just watch your diet...

Answer 9

I didn't think so last night!!!! in fact it was lovely :0)

Answer 10

No its not bad, if you enjoy it then do it. Dont listen to the nanny state brigade, they will rubbish everything you enjoy.

Answer 11

No. It's awesome. Plus, I'm sure you could have hit that while she was drunk.
