Wine gives me a nasty hangover.

3. How big was the bottle?
I mean, it could have contained more than 4 glasses right? OR they could have been small glasses? See what I mean? Either way THAT amount of wine would have me passed out on the floor :rofl:

Hell, ONE glass of wine and I'm done. :)

17. I drank four glasses of wine
Having said that, one can choose to have a fifth glass. :)

Having drunk "a bottle of wine" one should have had enough to drink, after all it was an entire bottle.

19. Technically, it's "I drinked a buh-bottle."
In the past tense, it's "Sorry, ossifer."

24. What if it was boxed wine?
You can't exactly say you drank a "bottle" of wine if you dispensed 4 glasses from a spigot...
