2 pints of shandy in 61 months isn't bad going after 30 years of boozing! what a waste of time & money!.i could have done a lot better things with my life! drinking alcohol really is a trap! mentally,emotionally,financially & spiritually a wasteland! believe it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

When I was at university, drinking was a normal weekend thing, but having the money to be able to afford it was quite another!. If I drank too much, I'd get sick, and feel awful!. I have never gone to extremes with drinking, and I feel much better about it because it is a good judgement call, I'll never be obliterated and not able to care for myself!. The last thing I'd want to do is trust some drunk to take care of me!Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes, i was a typical drinker!.!.!. also know as a pish head!.!. i was a happy drunkard for many a long year!.!.!. 16 to about 28!.!.!. and i stopped drinking!. it wasnt conscious, it just happened!.!.!. one friday night i didnt go to the pub!.!.!.

oh, i still drink, but its maybe twice a year!.!.!. my birthday and at christmas!. why, because i drive, and these days you cannot take the risk!.!.!. so its easier to say NO im driviing!.!.!. and everyone understands!.!.!. i still have beer in the fridge from my birthday, (last november) and i am clear headed!.!.!. and not waiting for a heart attack!.

oh, i dont smoke either!.!.!. and im 51Www@FoodAQ@Com

When I started drinking, I would get up to 8 pints and level off there, but then gave it up completely for a few years!. Now I find just one most nights is enjoyable,or maybe one or two glasses of wine instead - mostly just one!. So probably 7 units a week!.

I think drinking to excess is a phase of growing up - I'm glad mine didn't last long!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You must have drank alot to have proper withdrawl symptoms from it!

But good on you - I gave up smoking and felt superb!. You will notice alot with your fitness and usually your weight (depending on what your drinking)!. Dont get back into it!.!. or if you do, not heavily!. Your body will thank you for it when your like 90 and can still look after yourself!

I look at drinking thus

When I wake up in the morning with a hangover I know by lunch time I'll feel better!.
If I awake sober that's the best i'll feel for the rest of the day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No I tried giving up alcohol and cigars for a week - absolutely no feeling of being healthier,- blood pressure the same ( some people claim it drops dramatically) - so I certaimly wont be giving up either!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I quit too!. I became more alert, more focused and clearer headed!. I dont miss the headaches every morning either! Good job!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yup, I felt fab for the 9 months I gave up drinking whilst pregnant!.
Not fab enough not to start up again afterwards though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i had to stop drinking for awhile just because of the medicine i was taking when i was sick!.!.!.and it does make you feel better!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, I broke bones and teeth before due to being a drunkard and stopped last year!. Now I can put my money into better things than pouring it down my neck only to end up doing stupid things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I very rarely drink so I've never wanted to give up!.!.!. but it's nice to read of your happiness from stopping drinking!

best wishes :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
