the demon booze

[IanW]

no matter how refreshing tonic with a squeeze of lime is, or how thirst quenching soda with a dash of squash is...... I still really fancy a pint in the garden in the sun

I was on the vibe of drinking every night say 3-4 cans and have done it for years, I decided it needed sorting and went dry for 2 weeks, and do I feel better!!, I going to try do all of September.

I realised a couple of weeks ago that I'd gone about a month without having a drink-free day - on holiday in a Germany for a couple of weeks so enjoyed the 50p a bottle beers, plus bought some Weissbier home. I wasn't getting drunk, just a couple of 500ml bottles each night, but still shocked me a bit when I realised how long it had gone on.

 

I've now gone back to my old routine, which was "dry Sunday to Thursday" and a few beers on Friday and Saturday.

 

I do notice that after three or four days off the booze, I feel better - but at the same time, don't feel like I could knock it on the head completely.

 

Kicked the fags a few years ago though - had been an on-and-off smoker since about 14 years old, but finally worked out that even after only one or two Marlboro lights I was waking up with a nicotine hangover. Had one big night out, smoked about 25 fags, was literally laid out until about 1pm the next day whereas my non-smoker mate was up and about at sensible o'clock. That did it for me, enough.

I felt better after about 3-4 weeks then found it hard to justify more than the odd pint.

Yes, I use tap water to make my ice cubes.

Looking back, I realise that about 3/4 of my hangover was from the massive amount of tabs I consumed if I was having a big night.

A 10-15/day smoker on Marlboro Lights, I'd do 40 on a big night on the drink, then feel like death for 2 days.

 

If I overcook it now I'm right as rain again after a few Stellas.
