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 feel like every time I say that to myself, I end up going out and getting drunker than usual. Good luck to you!

    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
