Ok before i start this is not a medical thread so don't go there. :p

Ok i have been advised by my doctor that i should cut down my alcohol consumption, or even better not drink at all for a few months.

Now OCUK could you give up drink for 12-16 week? :eek:
 
I know i can cut down, although to be fair cut down seems silly to me as i dont drink that much. I am aiming for 14 units a week for a while which is around 66% of the recommeded allowance.
 
stop drinking if a doctor tells you to, if you're just drinking for the coolness factor just buy coke/sprite or whatever and say to everyone that it's mixed with poison i mean alcohol and act drunk
 
I could but I really wouldn't want to. I like a drink on a fri night after a hard weeks work

Well he said cut down or better still stop, not you must stop, anyways lets not turn this medical. :)
 
I could yes, since i mainly drink water, although since it's warmed up a bit I've been having a cool beer every now and then, but stopping would not be a problem at all for me.

Yes, especially if it was on the advice of a doctor.

True although i think my problem is not drink, it is my god awful diet and lack of excersise that have damaged my liver. I am sortingt out a new eating regime and excersise timetable. :)
 
I barely drink as it is.

I like a good booze up now and then, but I dont drink in the house or go to the pub.

This is not to say I am a saint I have other vices ;)
 
If the doctor said I should give up then I probably wouldn't want to so I wouldn't. If he said I had to then obviously I would give up.

That is my general feeling on the matter as well.
