How much do you drink, honestly?
Discussion
Rarely drink. Like being drunk, don't like the process of getting there. Can't think of any alcoholic drink I have ever truly craved, most taste horrible to me...so am a single malt guy...gets me from sobriety to merry in no time, then I have a great time...but nobody else does..anither reason I avoid it

Although read some reviews on here first before handing over any money. Had I known the conclusion of the book before I read it, I wouldn't have bothered reading it. But clearly for some people it has been helpful.
I'll help you on your way with my own conclusion of the book. It may say 'control' alcohol in the title but what he really means is 'stop drinking' alcohol.

I’m 50, drink 2 bottles of decent red wine a night & have done so for decades.
I enjoy wine (I was in the trade for many years), so my drinking is for both tiddly and aesthetic reasons. I don’t wake up hungover & have an active life of 5 miles dogwalking a day, squash, cycling & gym.
It’s probably not doing me any long term good but my last physical showed everything within normal parameters, and besides, we’ve all got to die of something, right?
Salut!
More or less stopped drinking alcohol as it doesn't do anything for me. Total intake for February is 1 pint of lager and 2 glasses of wine and that was just to be sociable. The house is full of bottles of Single Malt gathering dust, some I have had for more than 20 years. One day I might drink them or I might not bother.

I've just read "The Alcohol Experiment" by Annie Grace. She does present options at the end of the book - drinking in moderation being one of them, though it wasn't for her.I'll help you on your way with my own conclusion of the book.

I now only drink if I have to go out from work and on Saturday nights.
Went through a faze of drinking most nights largely as I always get home from work thoroughly hacked off.
I now find making sure I eat Soon after getting in and then going for a walk has helped me break the habit .

Just entering month 3. My torso looks much younger, I have lost weight in my cheeks and my skin seems clearer. I am 45 and 5’11" and last weight check was 77 kilos.
Just had mot at Dr and blood pressure slightly under normal, less than 2% chance of cardiac disease, cholesterol has dropped to low and my resting heart beat seems to be 44 to 50 based on my iwatch checked against the Dr machine. Feeling pretty good.

2 bottles a night, 20 units. So if you start at 5pm you would still have alcohol in your system until 2pm the next day. I hope you don't drive next morning as you would clearly be over the limit.
I rarely drive in the AM as I prefer mornings for hanky panky, the gym & dog walking, although usually not at the same time.13th of Feb

I can go weeks without any drink at all then I will enjoy a bottle of whisky over 3 nights. I don't enjoy drinking as I used to and I could and probably should stop all together.

I can go months without any drink but can the down a bottle of single malt in a couple of nights. I just don't enjoy drinking anymore and at this point I am considering packing it in completely.
Do you find your memory has improved now you don't drink as much?Mark300zx said:
Have cut down a lot on my drinking recently and waking up early in the morning now circa 5-6 am, anyone else having that problem?
Depends on whether you're waking up at 5-6am feeling refreshed, or still tired. It's quite normal for many people to be getting up at 5-6am for their working day, so if you feel that you'had enough sleep, you've just gained some useful extra time every day.Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
