Was it not George best ? Said he gave up women and booze for 20 mins and it was the worst 20 mins of his life.Didn't Oliver reed say he gave up the drink in 1976 and it was the worst 3 hours of his life?
Same as me, think something clicks now in my head and I know I’ve had enoughWas out last night. Had six pints. Got the last bus home. Feel absolutely fine today. I’m at the age where I know not to overdo it. A few years ago that would have been a proper all night session getting in at stupid o clock.
I never get the horror hangover some get.
Has anyone on here done it? I do love a drink, I used to be a bit of a party animal but it all takes its toll dunnit?
I think at some point I'm gonna knock it on the head.
Do you drink in the house??..if you do get that knocked on the head as a start..I'm not teetotal but no alcohol in the house..gigs through Newcastle..car straight there and home..gigs in Sunderland few pints nowt excessive..my mates are in the pub Fridays and Saturdays talking about the same old shite that they did years ago..them days are long gone for me..you don't have to stop..my Doctor told me 20 units a week..equivalent of 10 pints.I just can't remember the last weekend that I didn't have a drink that's all. I never drink to excess anymore but I can probably do without it.
To be fair I probably don’t drink ten pints in a week most weeks. Just toying with the idea and I will do it at some point. Can’t do it yet anyway I’ve booked an all inclusive hotel for the summerDo you drink in the house??..if you do get that knocked on the head as a start..I'm not teetotal but no alcohol in the house..gigs through Newcastle..car straight there and home..gigs in Sunderland few pints nowt excessive..my mates are in the pub Fridays and Saturdays talking about the same old shite that they did years ago..them days are long gone for me..you don't have to stop..my Doctor told me 20 units a week..equivalent of 10 pints.
I just don't miss it..i might be going to see 1977 on Sunday afternoon..I'll have 5 or 6 pints if i do..that'll be my first beer in god knows how long..won't touch it again for months.To be fair I probably don’t drink ten pints in a week most weeks.

Why not just drink in moderation? Not having a go, btw.I have never drank,ever,saw drunkenness as a kid and realised I didn’t need it in my adult life,I think going teetotal is a wise choice.
I drink beer for the taste now not the buzzSame as me, think something clicks now in my head and I know I’ve had enough

Have you lost any weight ?No drink since 11th Feb, nor chocolate, biscuits or crisps - my annual non-religious Lent type self-denial. Ends tonight when Son 1 arrives to stay over Easter. Looking forward to it (tho' I have no intention of getting pissed...)
Reedy must've had a bit more will power than bestyWas it not George best ? Said he gave up women and booze for 20 mins and it was the worst 20 mins of his life.
It must be an age thing.The last drink I had was a nice G and T on the flight back from Tenerife last August.
I doubt I have more than a dozen pints a year - I ll have a couple on holiday but that’s it . Nothing at home.
Like most I had more than my share years ago and don’t regret it one bit. As I got older ( and probably grumpier) the behaviour of some people in pubs started to piss me off so I didn’t need it and stopped going.
It’s not a moral crusade or health kick - just sort of fell out with it and don’t miss it at all .
