You know when you fill those medical forms in and they ask you how much you drink, how the **** you supposed to know? It can take months just to find which town I was in sometimes, never mind how many 'units' what ever they are, I've drunk.
Having just returned for a business trip to the IOW, I hereby take this oath of sobriety. From henceforth I will not drink on any Monday afternoon, with a Hull lad, in a pub called the Folly Inn (run by a Hull lad as well) I will not drink Speckled Hen to excess and fall asleep on the ferry back. I promise to eat the fine meal that my loving wife who also made the perilous journey into town to pick me up, has prepared for me, even though I had fish and chips early and am full to busting. I will try to stay awake though both episodes of corrie just so we have something to say before, I pray to hughie. **** Am I in trouble!
I think it comes down to how much you go out. If I go out during the week to the local pub (might pop down tonight as former Hull City GK coach Rod Arnold does the pub quiz there) I'll have lime and lemonade or something like that, I don't care if it looks crap, it's refreshing and it makes a change from beer. If I'm feeling up to it or I've been out on the lash the night before, I might have a Bitter Shandy to take the edge off. As an aside, my mate got chucked out of Spiders on Saturday because (and this is a direct quote from the bouncer) "He called a young lady a slag and we can't have that kind of language in here." "No, your right" he replied, "Not with all these underage kids about". Priceless. So we went to Napoleons to do some gambling. With mixed results.
I have not had a drink for 20+years now apart from one slip up on scooter rally in whitby ... Had one . Had to have another and another... Stopped by plod 3am , fell off Vespa , laid in road , scooter on top of me ... 18 month ban. I use to drink all the time... I dare not have half a pint because if I do I won't stop. Still go in bars at times... Have coffee or orange or coke in bottle ... That draught coke is like piss
I'm surprised I didn't drink myself to death back in the day, even now find it hard to just have one or two. People go on about your usual hardcore drugs like meth, coke, or whatever they have nowadays but alcohol is the worst of all of them for a lot of people. Might go tee-total eventually.
You could say i am a teetotallaer, i literally drink once every few months and thats one drink, i just can't bring myself to spend the money on it. My dad probably hasn't drank for about thirty years now, so probably runs in the blood. Need any tips you know where i am!
Wish I could drink in moderation. Once I've had about four drinks, it's like I've been eating salt sandwiches, i just carry on till it's time for bed or the drinks ran out. Will power needed, me thinks. Soft drink recommended > Bitter lemon.
I'm more or less teetotal. I don't avoid drinking as such, I just don't enjoy it at all. I find beer and wine disgusting, and have no desire to drink colourful **** with vodka in that looks and tastes like a soft drink (why not just have a soft drink and save the fuss and expense?) In fact, I don't even drink soft drinks properly, I avoid proper coke like the plague because it just ****s your teeth right up. I stick to squash* at home, diet coke when I'm out or a cider (more to fit in than anything) if I'm at a party and don't have to drive. And I'm supposed to be a student. *That's cordial if you're a posh ****.
