Had a few drinks last night for absolutely no good reason. Didn't especially enjoy them and now I have a hangover.
I drink maybe once a week these days and I honestly don't think I'd find it that hard to give up completely. I don't feel like I enjoy drinking all that much any more.
That’s pretty much where I am too.
When I was first on some arthritis drugs that (happily) I no longer have to take - we’re talking 25+ years ago - I wasn’t allowed to drink any alcohol at all for about 4 years.
After a short while I found I really didn’t miss it (though I rapidly learned that pissed people are not even close to being as funny as they think they are).
I have long since started drinking again (wine in particular), but I very much doubt I drink even half as much as I did as a young man.
Working in London ad agencies in the 80s, I'd almost always drink two pints every lunchtime, sometimes more. Then a couple of pints after work or on the train home to Brighton, sometimes followed by wine with dinner. Like Brid, I don't expect I drink half as much these days.
I rarely had a hangover when I was younger, but now I can't seem to manage more than two pints or half a bottle of wine in an evening without being awake for most of the night and feeling rough in the morning. I went a couple of weeks without a drink recently, but the fact is that I do enjoy booze despite the hangovers, red wine in particular. There's nothing quite like a glass while cooking the evening meal, and of course one glass leads to another.
Luckily this doesn’t apply to me.
Same here. I wonder what sort of dullards these idiots are hanging with?
I have three pints twice a week, a proper session every two or three weeks. With the occasional extras. Never have a problem with that.
My monthly consumption is now less than my former youthful weekly consumption. Which is only right and proper. I'm an old man now.
I had acupuncture last week, and in discussion we talked about alcohol, said I'd had 4-5 beers last night and a glass of wine. The guy looked like he was about to call AA. I don't do that level of alcohol often .. maybe once every 10 days? Often linked to a Forest game. But it didn't seem that crazy to me at all.
That's totally fine. Just file it under 'extra's'
In your bollocks?
This is me and it's hugely irritating. As I've got older, I've got even more boring and learned to value sleep - insofar as I've realised how much better I feel when I've had a decent amount of it.
Even very small amounts of alcohol disrupt my sleep ridiculously these days, which mostly causes me not to bother imbibing.
I do still crave beer (mostly) from time to time and will usually relent at some point. I've mostly stopped drinking red wine, though, because it's the worst offender in the sleep stakes, and that pisses me off a lot because I really like a glass of rouge.
Thankfully no. Arse.
I only habitually drink after playing football, and the depressant effect of the alcohol is beneficial to counteract the adrenaline from playing.
Although tonight I shall be going extra guns on the drink/staying up, after playing, so will have circa four double espresso's to assist in staying awake.
I believe this is the middle age equivalent of a 'cocktail of drugs'.
You’re paying a man to prick you in the arse? Fair dos.
A viagra will do that for you with much less effort
A 10mph speedball?
