What do you class as drinking too much?

Yep I agree, as I said - I'd quite like to go a year or so without a drop. Just not sure I could!

Think you oughta do a week without mate, at the very least the Mrs will get off your back and that probably means more to her than you realise. Once got a call from a mates wife about this very subject.

Going to do this next week. Try a week. Maybe Two, without a drop. Wish me luck

After the first 4 days, it's a piece of cake. Much much easier than giving up smoking.

Do the week first Mark, have one drinking night indoors with the Mrs, collect your "reward" then do a second week. :wink_smile:

I'm a firm advocate for binge drinking. Be that good or bad I only drink at weekends as that's the only time I see my lady at the mo. We like to unwind together over a bottle or three it's not ideal but it keeps us sane :wink:

Mate, I don't mean to sound like a smart bum, but if you are asking the question, then you know the answer.

Me? Too much sometimes. I went 4 years on the wagon a while ago, mostly just to prove to myself that I could.

I went dry for 18 months and weirdly it cost me an awesome woman and nearly my livelihood. I just didn't socialise so didn't pick up those jobs in the pub or those friends of friends that need some bits doing. I think the actual socialising/advertising of your trade is actually a big thing as long as your not some pi55ed up fool falling over himself and can actually say the word plumber :smile:

Ive had a drink almost every day for the last thirty years haven't had a hangover but had to do a medical a few years ago which meant three weeks dry I really thought I was addicted and wouldn't be able to do it it was a piece of cake only prob I had was getting to sleep the first two nights it made me feel better knowing that I was not addicted (don't like to use alcoholic) I only drink lager or cider never spirits app 8 a night which is way above what I should..brum

My disappointment at being on the wagon for four months is that I still feel rough in the morning. The upside is a healthier bank account.

I often worry that I drink too much. I usually have 3 bottles of beer a night and if I go out I could have anything from 3 to I think the most I've drank in a day was 18 but usually anything up to 10.

The time that I worry the most is when I go out with the girlfriends friends or family where I'm usually drinking 1 1/2 pints to their pint and I'm usually the one that can still walk properley.
