I actually think I am allergic to certain wines, red particularly, though not consistently, and as my tummy is pretty sensitive these days, I have cut back to something near recommendations, but I've never tried a regime of no alcohol, as I think I'd likely fail. The lock down meant I indulged in plenty of food and drink, so I'm trying to stick to healthy foods, generally less calories from any source. Smallish glasses for beer, wine and spirits. Try the Kefir drink(I've found the honey n ginger one to be best)..it sorts out my sensitive tum..but do not over indulge cos it then causes the symptons its supposed to control.

I drink far too much. Sometimes with guests if they drink , I drink with them... especially solo travelers if I like them. Then if I have folks on I don't like, I drink even more to make them less irritating... to dumb down their awfulness.
I do make a conscious effort once in a while to have a few day off and generally don't feel the NEED to have a drink - but I do WANT one. I suppose my plan should be cut down as the summer goes on ready for my winter health kick as I really do need to shift some blubber and keep it off for good.
The trouble is, on a sunny afternoon, chugging along with a g and t in my hand, it just feels so lovely - not the same with a can of coke or cup of tea.

As the saying goes, 'one is too many, and two is not enough'.

As the saying also goes ... 'drink can be a good servant, but a poor master'
Or as Houseman put it ... 'and malt does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man's

I am glad the footie is over, been way to easy to knock a few beers back whilst watching it, time to chill a bit.
I slip very easily into drinking more than i should, i have to check myself every now and then, its only beer and it never affects my day to day stuff, in fact weekends i don't drink till night, but i can easily knock back eight cans.
Not a big spirits drinker, i have a bottle of something i like a little tipple of, Rum or Brandy maybe, but it lasts a while.

I try to remain alcohol free for 48 hours every week.
Not all in one go, obviously.

I suspect I'm a high functioning alcoholic but I never wake up wanting a drink - I can usually wait until after breakfast!

I'd accept being alcoholic if people thought I was 'high functioning' ... not a description that's ever been associated with me Rog

I'm not an alcoholic. Alcoholics go to meetings.

I've taken a leaf out of the stabby book by buying Polish beer. Have sourced some zywiec (pronounced Sea Witch) it's got a nautical theme and I even managed to get the engines going and move the boat up the River so it must be good !

I'm not an alcoholic. Alcoholics go to meetings. One I know, now recovering, couldn't abide AA. "Poor me, poor me, pour me another one." Works for some though.

My cousin's bloke used to be a proper pisshead and he went to meetings. I remember him saying "those meetings are full of drunks". He got into some trouble at one stage due to mixing with the wrong people and someone jumped on him and tried to bit his nose off. quite bad scarring actually. He told me he then decided to stop drinking. I reckon it was the woman telling him but he said it was the inability to defend himself that did it.
