I do. I also drink white wine in summer. I enjoy a glass of beer too.

That's a bit of a bold statement radars. I am diagnosed with OP . Why else would I belong to this group?

I drink the odd glass of red wine when I feel like it, I also love Cremant which is white and anything with bubbles, I like the odd Kir or Kir Royale, I don’t drink all that often or all that much, a small single glass is all I ever take.

I used to drive my husband mad by ordering a pitcher of wine when we were in France and only having one glass which meant he had to drink the rest. We got wise after a while and ordered a much smaller jug that was big enough for me to have a tiny glass and him to have a decent amount. If I want to drink wine osteoporosis or not, I drink it.

As you say, you’ve got to have a life. So go for it and enjoy it, just don’t get sozzled and fall over and break something 😉
