Quitting Drinking - Page 3

jon boy · 07.27.2006, 03:57 AM

yes there are times when i think i will stop drinking totaly. i hate having hangovers and the stupid stuff that happens when i get drunk. when i look back there has not been one weekend in several years when i have not drunk quite a lot and i find that strange. there used to be people i knew who wouldnt talk to me in the pub unless i had a beer infront of me and couldnt understand the option of not drinking and just being social. i mean really would refuse to say anything exept childish comments. they also hated cafe's becuase you couldnt drink beer.

I can take it or leave it. No matter how often I drink during various time periods, I have a VERY low tolerance to alcohol. A little whiskey and I'm drunk'r than a skunk.

drinking is good
drinking with yr mates is great
drinking alone can be liberating and insightful sometimes in times of down
drinking is good when you can handle it

why quit then?

there's no reason for that. pull your head out of your ass, daycare.

i agree,
don't be a dumbass and just don't drink too much.

I don't really find it necessary to stop. I've never been a binge drinker and my fridge isn't always filled with alcohol. Love wine collecting. One of my passionate hobbies.

i haven't had a single sip of alcohol since july 8th.i simply do not feel the need to drink lately.i'm quite happy with that,i saved a bunch of euros.

Yeah, it saves you a shitload of money that you can spend on records or whatever. I stopped drinking about 4 years ago. I still have the occaisional drink but haven't been drunk for about 4 years, maybe 5 actually.

gmku · 07.27.2006, 11:36 AM

I gave up drinking years ago. I only drink beer now.

As drugs go, I found this one uninteresting.
Never been a drinker, never developed a taste for alcoholic beverages.

porkmarras · 07.27.2006, 03:06 PM

I hope that's not Darkside the band Diesel.It's really dark in there.

jon boy · 07.27.2006, 03:56 PM

i like berlin or indeed europe as a whole for the fact that you dont have to drink when you go out. in england, especially the north you cant really go to a pub on a saturday and order coffee. well not if you wanna feel comfortable.

You have a problem with The Darkside?
One of the most underrated 90s psych bands to my ears.
"All That Noise" is a fanastic LP, and "Guitar Voodoo" is one of my favorite instrumental drug-rock tunes of all time!
