I need to cut back and see what an alcohol free weekend is like. I haven't had one in a while.
Alright, alright, alright!

    its good for ya. it is nice to wake up and not be paralyzed by a hangover. the older i get, the worse the hangovers get, and then i end up sleeping away my weekends. good luck!!

    Ha ha, had one last weekend. (Super Bowl party was canned at noon - host was sick). It felt good.

    I am looking forward to a hangover this weekend though image

    I understand. It's not necessarily getting hammered but I seem to stay up much later for no reason.

    Well it's definitely good for the liver!
    My dad knows a guy who drinks his face off for 9 months out of the year, and then doesn't touch it for a solid 3. Apparently, any damage that can be done to the liver by drinking heavily for 9 months can heal in 3.... so that is the program for my dad's quasi-raging-alcoholic friend. Docs say his liver is completely healthy (no word on his heart I guess).... Not that i'm endorsing it! [-X

    I made to dinner on Sunday night. We ate out and I had 2 Sierra Ruthless Rye's. It's a start. Maybe I'll try again this weekend. It's much easier when nothing is going on.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    we had people over to the house to play board games saturday night...

    10-12 people showed up...

    next morning I did a bottle count - 8 bottles of wine, a polished off bottle of blended whiskey, a bottle of bourbon, and an almost finished bottle of scotch... and there were 2 people there not drinking....

    and then QOTSA last night here in a houston... had a couple of beers at the show...

    i think next weekend this week is going to be a booze free week until friday.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    When I was a spry young pup of 24 I decided I would go a whole year of not drinking during the week. This was in the post college days where the first thing I did when I got home from work was pour a big daddy Captain & Coke.
    It was actually tough, a life changer, and in the 15 years since I pretty much restrict it to weekends.
    I usually get shitbombed Friday nights. Saturday might be a few drinks but Friday is bombed night.
    With my wife prego I will need to stop once we get close to baby time since I want to be able to drive her to the hospital no matter when and be ready for the baby and for anything she needs.
    It also has been considerably less fun with my wife being pregnant since I dont have my usual partner in crime.

    Good luck next weekend!

    I just got over going from January 5th till February 6th without a drop. Definitely started to get tough at the end there...
  • Indifference71Indifference71 Posts: 14,823
    Didn't have a drop this past weekend. Always nice to take a week or 2 off every few months. I'll get back at it this weekend.
