I understand that, especially if you have any concerns at all about how much wine you might drink, that you might tend to worry.
However, a few points come to mind. . .
1. less than two glasses (that would mean wine glasses!) of wine a day can be healthy for us as has been documented by medical experts, unless of course there's a specific reason you should avoid it. More than a couple would be too much and would cross over to the Glass Ceiling domain and as Reinard would say, that's another story! And if you're finding that you "need" that wine as a crutch, perhaps you're right to be concerned. . . however. . .
2. Remember that HABIT in and of itself is not a bad thing. It depends on what the HABIT is. We're trying to replace bad habits with good, or at least significantly better habits. I shower every day, I brush my teeth regularly, I check the dog's water and food bowls a couple of times a day--all habits that are positive ones to have.
So I'm just saying, don't beat yourself up about small amounts of wine--as long it doesn't turn into a mug full!
From Reinhard's own comments about (any type of drinks-not just alcohol):
The subject of drinks isn't to be viewed in purely negative terms. It's not just about avoiding liquid calories. Drink water proactively, to ward off hunger. Thirst is often confused with hunger, and a glass of water can be an effective snack replacement. No, it doesn't taste quite as good, but yes it can work.
Regarding the fact that when we think we are hungry, we often just need hydration; quenching that will help replace it. And here comes my solution again-try the H2Orange as described in a separate topic. (my favorite solution to lots of things-a habit worth cultivating)
So raise a glass to:
Habits worth having!
