Fantastic. Technically, I particularly liked the internal rhyme that then
showed itself boldly in the closing part.
An incredible achievement that you still manage to turn one out each day.

I've had wine prescribed for me
for mellowing out purposes. But, for some reason, I have never actually been drunk. Even the killer eggnog recipe, involving half pint rum, half pint brandy, quart cream, six eggs, doesn't leave me even tipsy. Of course, I have never felt the need to go that far in my drinking... when you are already crazy...
In any event, I can see why you liked my sonnet geared towards the booze-loving propensities of the young lady I am bonkers about.
And I do like yours as well.

You made me smile. And, my friend, we've all done it - not the strange comments (not that I saw any) but killing a bottle of wine in a wink.

CHEERS from Waterkat...
Great poem, so straightforward and honest. Here in oz we call it pissed too, and another one we use when even more than pissed is 'maggot'!

Oh dear, how can I do justice to these comments?
Zut, c'est impossible! Glad to see that there are many like-minded souls about, dotted all over the earth's surface, who appreciate the health-giving properties on the head and wallet of cheap wine. By the way, Sarah, 'Too much to dream last night' is a song from the mid-60s... can't remember right now who sang it, and quite simply can't be bothered to google it. (Is 'google' now an acceptable verb in small case?)

I like the idea of. . .
"having to much to. . .dream last night."
I think that thought is worthy of elaboration.
A tidbit of trivia from "The Territories": Here's to inexpensive wine. In the United States, we have a healthy-ish grocery store chain called Trader Joes. They sell three kinds of this Charles Shaw wine for like $2, and it's known to all connoisseurs of cheapness as "Two-buck Chuck."

Welcome to the club ; fellow Philistine, or fillow Phelistine, whichever is most appropriate, to the Esteemed Society Of Lethal Plonk Drinkers ( which I have just founded ; applications to Mon Blogue please, annual membership fee £2,000, or its equivalent in any hard currency. ( Yuans, zlotis, pengus, and ringgits not accepted )
Lady Ariela has just discovered a wine which comes in a gallon plastic bottle, for about three euros. I started using it for cooking, but I've discovered that it's actually drinkable! And it's 12% alcohol, which can't be bad.
It's probably a bit better than that Black Death that you buy in your supermarkets.
el ( somewhat acoholically challenged ) Tel. Just had a blashing of it, see? Hic!

Yes, it was cheap rotgut, but you know, sometimes it can be good ...
... and this was like nectar. Can't quite remember what it was now, but I'd recognise it if I was in Tesco again. Normally I shell out on Sainsbury's Chilean red for £2.99. This stuff was the same price, I think. I have no complaints about it, at that price it's very good.
Yes, Symph, sounds good to me... It's what Saturday nights are for.

Wish you get more dreams that keep you from getting pissed
and get you making an effort to realise those dreams

Really, Mr Zonit, you will have to control this reckless propensity for excessive potations of ( almost certainly ) rotgut supermarket plonk!
Whatever would Tio David think of such swinish guzzling and swilling? Er ... come to think of it, delete that question! I bet he was there with you.
