Alcohol
Alcohol
I love the stuff but still think that you never really know whats going to happen.
You can go 2 years drinking normally and then you have one night where you get it all wrong and act like a friggin Arse.
Even in my mid thirties I still frack up on the stuff from time to time.
Its funny you get people like Robbie Williams who drank heavily for one year and then complains he is a Alcoholic (not) then you get the sad way the Gazza has fallen.
Merson was back on the beers last year but seems to be OK. Thing is you can have a great night out on the booze but its always possible to make that mistake and dont remember where you were or what you did.

sometimes tahst whats good about alcohol but in moderation. i realised the other day ive had at least half a pint everyday for about 3 months. i havnt drank for 2 days and i feel more cheerful and its easier to get up. im not saying im an alcoholic like gazza...but when u get into the habit of getting home from worki relaxing and thinking ill have a beer...its easy to get carried away. health experts will disagree but a once a week binge is better than a glass of red everyday.

I try not to drink in the week at all but will have several on a sat night although I must admit, recently I've been getting really bored of the whole cycle where you get through the working week (which for me, lasts til sat lunchtime) go out and get arseholed, wake up feeling like cack on sun, take the entire day to recover and then boom, its monday and it starts all over again... 

If health experts would disagree it is maybe because they know something!cobra kai wrote:sometimes tahst whats good about alcohol but in moderation. i realised the other day ive had at least half a pint everyday for about 3 months. i havnt drank for 2 days and i feel more cheerful and its easier to get up. im not saying im an alcoholic like gazza...but when u get into the habit of getting home from worki relaxing and thinking ill have a beer...its easy to get carried away. health experts will disagree but a once a week binge is better than a glass of red everyday.
I don't think you're statement can possibly be right.

i agree totally. I found that my body normally keeps the whole alcohol consumption in check. there are months where i'll drink daily sometimes getting drunk sometime just a pint or two, but then i wont touch it for weeks, not because i dont want to i just dont 'feel' like it. And i also sleep better, have more energy and when i'm fully feeling good, the cravings kick in again.cobra kai wrote:sometimes tahst whats good about alcohol but in moderation. i realised the other day ive had at least half a pint everyday for about 3 months. i havnt drank for 2 days and i feel more cheerful and its easier to get up. im not saying im an alcoholic like gazza...but when u get into the habit of getting home from worki relaxing and thinking ill have a beer...its easy to get carried away. health experts will disagree but a once a week binge is better than a glass of red everyday.

Saving drinking for specific days is not a good idea, it forces you to 'make the most' of a session and you end up a lot more ratted than i had had coupole during the week.
The old adage is the best advice, drink responsibly, and know your limits and fcuk pier pressure

I have got to the stage where the fear of the hangover by far out weighs the beer buzz
Beer is great at the time but the next week it kills me, not just a day or two.
Plus in N Ireland we get raped by publicans over the price of alcohol. Where I live, a small, quiet market town, I paid 3 pounds 10 pence for a bottle of Corona on Sunday with my dinner

Exactly the same as me mate, it takes me days to recover and I thought I was the only one! My mate's can drink and drink and be absolutely fine the next day.. quite annoying.green gooner wrote:I have got to the stage where the fear of the hangover by far out weighs the beer buzzBeer is great at the time but the next week it kills me, not just a day or two.

It's about the same price here in London, if not more. But I guess that's to be expected in the capital
