No Friday night drinking thread

[Lady Whistledown]

Having only just managed to spot Bozza (on account of him being so slender now) on Saturday evening and listening to his tale of steely determination to cut back on the booze, albeit delivered through the mists of a cider induced alcoholic haze, I have determined to cut back massively on my alcohol intake too. I havent touched a drop since Saturday, although in fairness I had enough on Saturday to aggregate out a fairly hefty consumption level over the following days!!!

There is a certain sense of irony about Bozza metamorphosising into some sort of visionary alcohol counselling guru whilst he was simultaneously knocking back considerable quantities of cider and gin

I've found that having a baby has mostly curtailed my drinking.

I used to be the pub doing 5-6 pints 3 times a week, a skinful at the football Saturday and then if I woke up relatively ok I'd be back up the pub on Sunday lunchtime for a roast and a few more watching the days footie.

Now I only really drink at the football, maybe have a few cans on a Tuesday evening for example but not enough for a hangover.

The missus has gone to Cardiff for the weekend with her sister so I'm on my own with our daughter for only the second time in 6 months and I've managed to get a grand total of one bottle of Westons down my gob. Now it's bedtime!!!

I've found that the only thing curtailing my drinking is nothing.

Consistent Friday night red wine abuse.

Saturday morning foggy walks to the train station are becoming the predictable roller-coaster commencement to my weekends.

Horwich rhymes with 'porridge' (nearly), right?

I would have a couple at home each night and half a bottle of wine. Managed to cut out the midweek drinking and it's just Friday, Sat and Sunday. Don't miss it at all and enjoy my Friday night drink even more now. Feel a lot better in the mornings with a lot more energy. So tonight it has been a Hobgoblin Gold, a Tesco Simply IPA and a Proper Job just to ease me into the weekend

Have cut down significantly this year. Felt myself slipping into old habits by drinking 12 out of 14 days recently - on 4 of those reasonably heavily. I hadn't noticed, it was only when I sat down and counted that I realised it looked bad. Decided to reapply a bit of abstinence, and haven't really noticed any difference.

Will probably only have a beer every now and then going forward, and save a booze up for landmark occasions.

I have noticed I eat less and run a bit further than I used to.

Well the Friday drinking thread didn't go as planned.

A few Longmen & Bishop's Fingers last night have made me a bit sore this morning.










What?

Three pints of Harvey's and no feelings of remorse, where have I gone wrong?
