Checking in. Over 4 weeks off the hooch now. Feeling great. Was in the off licence the other night buying a non alcoholic beer and the proprietor asked me forlornly was I off it for Lent. I’d say if I stick off it any longer than that he’ll go out of business.
I’ve become expert in the non alcoholic beers and would rate them as follows.
Weihenstephaner
Paulaner
Budvar
Becks
Erdinger
Bavaria
Cobra Zero. This is the most disgusting beverage I have ever tasted.
Fair play Fagan, how long are you going to stay off it? I’ll be 4 weeks on Sunday. Longest I’ve been off it since I was underage. Feel superb.
As one of the good things about not drinking is a reduction in the beer belly, is it not a bit pointless pouring non-alcoholic beer down your throat though?
I’ve lost half a stone Thrawneen. I wouldn’t drink half the amount of non alcoholics as I would alcoholic beers. I like the beer taste in the evening and would prefer it to a cup of tea.
Anyway the bottle of Erdinger nonalcoholic says it is Isotonisch, vitamin something else and kalorie something else entirely so I’m treating it as a health supplement.
I’ll be taking this through to Easter Sunday and I’ll see after that.
Welcome to the group Dunph. Haven’t been binge drinking since March 5th. Have had a few bottles on occasion but have always been in control. Definitely noticed a decrease in general depression, anxiety and paranoia.
I haven’t missed the booze at all until a couple of hours ago when I was on the bus going past Jack White’s and saw 6 lads sitting in the sun outside it with a table full of pints and bottles of cider in front of them. Fortunately the bus also drove through Ballsbridge where the braying masses in their Leinster tops and pints of Heino made me glad of my teetotality again.
fairly shook myself this morning. dont know when I was out on my last session, maybe a month or 2 ago, dont really keep track of when I’m not drinking. Dont feel suicidal or depressed though, going ot go watch a match shortly and probably off for a round of golf with some mates in the afternoon. Great day outside and life is great, even if my head is a bit sore.
Drank 2 bottles of wine last night… Felt great then and I feel better now. The only thing I felt like squeezing the life out of was my cock as I sat down to a babestation marathon…
