First no drinking weekend in 1 1/2 years.

No drinking = more gym time!

I did the complete opposite, lots of friends in town for the holiday so it has been a week long drinking fest. Now its back to working out and minimal drinking till Christmas.

LOL, wtf are you talking about Josh? Just PM me.

I'm just busting your balls.

I can't fathom drinking.

I probably spend less than $50/year on alcohol.

January 5 will be one year for me. It was hard at first, but now it doesn't even cross my mind. And you never realize how much you spend on booze until you quit buying it. Now I just have to quit smoking....

Luckily I only smoke when I drink so that won't be a problem. I do dip though so that'll probably increase a little bit when the nicotine isn't being inhaled almost every night. I don't know how, but smoking never crosses my mind unless I've had a few drinks.

I don't plan on quitting drinking entirely, just lessening it a whole lot. Like I said, I'll probably drink New Years, but between now and then I shouldn't have a reason to drink. I just don't want to use the weekends, or "I don't have to work tomorrow," or that kinda bullshit as an excuse to go out and get hammered.

I've noticed in these 4 days of not drinking, my lungs actually feel a lot better, too.

Taliwhacker, not quitting, just trying to be responsible. There's a lot I need to accomplish over the next 2-4 years and regular drinking isn't gonna help me accomplish those things.

Jeromy, you're a bitch. Go take someones picture without them knowing you creepy mother fucker.

Champagne doesn't count.

I don't consider having one glass or beer a drinking night.

I'm on like 7 or 8 years, I win. I did have some 40 year old whiskey 2 1/2 years ago, but only at my grandpa's funeral. My step-great grandma(his remarried wife's mom) always wanted to have it because he was saving it for so long. He said if she died first, he was drinking it. If he died first, she could have it, and he wanted everyone else at the remembrance to have some, too.

if your'e a drinker, it's boring like you said, but getting up early and being productive is a nice reward... my problem is I'll go a few weeks doing good and then just get a hankering, and then I'm hitting it every night for a week or so...

alcohol is the devil

[Rick Modena]

Its hard as hell let me tell ya. Two years ago because of health issues I had to cut my sugar intake to zero, no sugar in my coffe tea or desserts and to top it off no soft drinks, this was done cold turkey. Last year around this time I quit alcohol, I was drinking almost everyday and heavily during the weekend. Didn't drink for about a month and this year I have only had drinks at social events and then not enought to get drunk or drinking too much. The sugar was harder than the alcohol, because everything has sugar in it.

I went for my physical last week and everything came back normal, I went from a borderline diebetic to healthy and normal. I never really thought I was an alcoholic, but my checking account showed different, all of a sudden I had all this extra money, going out drinking heavily and buying alcohol is a huge money saver, good luck...'Henry
