Wine Bottle and Glass Size: How Much Are You Really Drinking?

Smaller portion and package sizes have previously been linked with decreased consumption of food and non-alcoholic drinks. So the question is this: is already commercially available and something that we can distribute and use at the population level?
Ever thought about how the size of your wine bottle or glass might influence how much you drink? In this episode of 'Addiction Medicine Journal Club', Dr. Sonya Del Tredici and Dr. John Keenan unpack a fascinating study that dives into this very question. The study, conducted by Mantzari and colleagues, explores how different bottle and glass sizes can affect wine consumption at home.
It’s a deep dive into the subtleties of drinking habits that might just make you rethink your next glass of wine. But that’s not all. Drs. Del Tredici and Keenan also discuss practical resources for those looking to manage their drinking without going completely alcohol-free. They touch on initiatives like Dry January, Moderation Management, and other harm reduction strategies that can help you drink more mindfully.
Whether you’re looking to cut back or just want to understand your drinking patterns better, this episode offers plenty of food for thought. The hosts don’t stop at the research. They share clinical pearls for addiction medicine practitioners, offering insights into how these findings can be applied in real-world settings. From tips on checking in with patients who have fallen out of follow-up to discussing household demographics and their impact on drinking habits, this episode is packed with useful information.
If you’re curious about the science behind your drinking habits or are seeking practical advice on managing alcohol use, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to discover how something as simple as the size of your wine bottle or glass can make a big difference.
