I get it: harm can be caused even if the person is not drinking... My advice is this: eat, drink, love, wear your new clothes, enjoy life... don't waste it worrying about non problems...

Four to five bottles of wine a week isn't a non-problem.

We know it it's a problem because OP is asking for help.

Not sure where you are getting "four to five bottles." He said half a bottle to a bottle, so he's likely drinking around 3.5 to 4 bottles per week.

3 bottles of 8% ABV wine would be 18 units a week - already more than the recommended 14.

It's unlikely OP is drinking 8% ABV wine.

3 bottles of 14% ABV would be 31 units a week - well over the recommended maximum.

Please stop with the units and please don't pay attention to the BS the government is feeding you... Just get out with friends and enjoy life...
