The booze-quittin' buddy thread!

Quite, and when I've worked hard for something it seems wasteful to turn my back on it

Exactly, why turn your back on getting up with a clear head in the morning, you've worked hard for that

New thread Andrew?

Go for it!

My head is no clearer for not drinking, which has been a bit disappointing. Turns out I'm naturally dim rather than dimmed by booze.

I don't think I ever really enjoyed the taste of alcohol, I drank for the effects. Maybe thats the difference between those who can take it or leave it and those who now leave it alone completely.

Yes, I drank for effect more than taste. In fact it would have to have tasted really terrible, my subject on Master Mind would have been , original gravity of beers.........

i drank/drink for both reasons, taste and effect

 

[Andrew_Culture]

I drink entirely for taste, and maybe a little buzz. I can't stand the feeling of being drunk. Awful.

My father in law just arrived with a fourpack of real ale and a bottle of wine. I politely turned him down. They live with us half the week every week so not sure which bit of 'not drinking' he doesn't get

Top lad!

Nearly there. Only 5 days to go but do I have a drink of Saturday night?

By not drinking I feel better and I'm sleeping better. I don't tend to drink during the week but do / did like some red wine and / or G&T's after a long hard week.

We're de-camping to my sister's house for most of the weekend so I'll be having at least beer or two, maybe some wine. Which is normal without me getting drunk. Surely a month off won't have reduced my resistance too much

Oh, I don't know. I had half a can of cider at the m-i-l's significant birthday a few days ago. It was my first drink for nearly three weeks and it certainly had an effect. TBH, I'm missing it less and less.

 

[Chris Swift]

I've cut out the drinking too, just had a shot of Drambuie 1st drink for a week, have felt great.

Hang on, who else on the list has been drinking?

Does half a can of cider count as "drinking" if I didn't enjoy it?
Do I have to go back down the snake to square one?

Slide back down that snake mister. All the confessions are coming out now
