3-4 Beers a Night.. Damaging?

marc2003 · 15 Sep 2008 at 23:39

i must admit i drink a 4 pack pretty much everynight without fail. i can easily go without if i haven't got the money for it, but if i've got the pennies then that's what i'll spend it on.

i know plenty of people who look down their nose at me because they don't drink during the week. but then they go out on the weekends and get hammered. seems that is ok??? :confused:

i don't get drunk, never cause aggro, or make a fool of myself. i know what i'd rather do....

We should make a mini boozing community, where we all quit our regular drinking for a month or two. Posting an update each night saying if we kept T total!

give it a few more year hit 30 and that beer belly will enlarge stupidly. I only have to look at my father for proof of that, anyways I'm off down the pub.

Haha yeah I'm 28 and over the past year or so have started drinking a lot more (two pints 3 lunchtimes a week, half a bottle of wine or some cider with dinner 5 nights a week, weekly session of maybe 6 pints...). Starting to get a massive gut now and it probably doesn't help that I now share a cab rather than walking the 3 mile round trip to work from the station every day.

Still, as the saying goes you're only young once and I've got a bit of catching up to do from bygone years when I drank hardly anything except for the odd weekend binge.

a month?

i could easily do a week but a month is pushing it.

A month for me would a milestone in my drinking career,

Lol

I think someone should make a Table / Calendar where we add our names, And our daily intake.

Then tally it up at the end of the month

It would rock if someone could do this. It would give me the motivation i need to keep off my mild trend of regular booze!!

Just stop.

The best way is to have beers already in the house.

That way come 10pm your not tempted to run to the off licence.

The offy shuts at 9 round the corner to me. 8.50pm -9pm is my hardest time! lol

Just have a 4 pack in the fridge.

And 9pm will just pass you by.

Then make a cup of tea of get some lemon fanta and leave the beers in the fridge.

Im definately gonna try a month off it totally. I did a month off a year or two ago and I admit i did feel better for it.

Im trying to save my pennies for a mountain bike so hopefully if i cut out the beer my money will pile up quicker too.

Just work out how much money you spend on booze and this can be a great incentive

Hedge · 16 Sep 2008 at 00:06

I probably drink more if im depressed. So i dont wanna count how much ive wasted. because it will backfire on me. And make me go buy some cans to drown my sorrows lol.

Now stop the advice and make me a Anti Booze Calendar! hahaha

Not really. My sugars are usually at perfect levels in the morning because I know exactly how much insulin to inject.

HungryHippos · 16 Sep 2008 at 00:28

I don't think it's good to drink that much every day, you should think about drinking a little less and a little less often

I have a pint 1-3 nights a week, just take it easy like

LPL · 16 Sep 2008 at 00:53

Wish my dad would stop drinking for a month just to see what happens, it'll never happen though. He drinks about 5pints a day, every single day guaranteed.
Probably slightly more on holiday and I can't even remember the last day he didn't go in the pub for a pint, seriously.

dubcat · 16 Sep 2008 at 01:37

its too much - you are doooooooomed

I'm temped to try a month off, it won't be easy though, work is stressing me out atm, I've been promised a month off but they keep pushing it back

I can't comprehend sitting at home drinking. It's disgusting how little respect people have for their bodies. Get some self control and girlfriend and stop sitting around feeling sorry for yourselves.
