Old-Dutch LOL, it’s a fair cop.

Millsy

I’m slowing right down and have only had the ONE BOTTLE of vin rouge so far today!!!!

What am I like!

Minerals.

Also my son and wife have both had covid but I continue to test negative. Why?

MINERALS.

Along_the_Wire 14 pints is an effort. think i’d die if i had half that, 4 or 5 and i feel it for two days.

303abuser I’ll refer you to the earlier post from Millsy!

Everything in moderation apart from the odd session amirite

i find an edible before going for drinks keeps me in check, can’t go overboard that way.

Forget dry January, it will harder to give up the post dinner Quality Street

Amps

Managed to swerve any booze today after an impromptu family get together. Not going full dry, but looking to moderate and keep smashing the gym. The diet on the other hand went right out the window. In other news, you know your old when you put on a firework display in the back garden for the kids and don’t look up once to see if they are even any good.

I’m leathered and 95% sure I have covid (again).

Whatever.

Deal with it in the morning.

I’ve now decided to do dry January. Got a night out planned in 2 weeks with somebody where the traditional thing is to get leathered. Will be interesting to see how that goes.

The sesh holds less and less appeal for me. Not because I don’t enjoy it, but the hangover gets worse and worse each year

Do you not have access to Oxygen? Blows a hangover straight out

Hursty

Mad_Cyril laughing gas?

Off to the Ally Pally for the darts final later.

Free bar.

I’m going all in and I’ve got work tomorrow.

Like Millsy, the word MINERALS springs to mind.

Yesterday consisted of beers, negronis and port. No dry January for me until I finish the rest of the Xmas and NY booze.

Probably won’t do dry January anyway, the pubs are nice and quiet in Jan.

However got a half marathon in March and May this year (only run one half marathon in my life), so need to cut down booze, eat healthy and get fit again.

Phil-McRackin

Omicron and Self Isolation also spring to mind..or will you be sealed off from the muggles?

Any thoughts on trading beers for spirit and mixer combo in order to reduce calorie intake? Or is it all swings and roundabouts? Ive put a fair bit of timber on over the last 2 yrs and need to make some changes.

Im right into my craft beer so on a normal weekend night in i’d knock back say 6 cans, which must be over 1200 cals. Thinking of switching to say 3 GnTs which must have the same alcohol content and far less cals, no? My wife thinks if I go down that route I will just end up drinks 8 GnTs and have a drink problem. She may not be wrong……

Anyone tried similar calorie reduction tactics with success/no admission into rehab?

I asked a mate who is a massive boozer but also a biologist about this a while back.

He said vodka, lime and soda is probably the optimal choice in terms of low calorie while also being palatable, but it will make you piss a lot more frequently than beer - something to do with the lack of sugars compared to liquid. So basically, you may look like a bird ordering one, but you’ll definitely look like a bird when you’re going to piss at double the rate of your mates.

If you’re putting weight on and blaming the beer here, there are issues elsewhere. Do you ever get out of bed?
