What's the longest you've been aff the drink?

[Hewitt a the pies]

I've done the odd month here and there, you defo sleep better. In general though I'll have a beer every day. I love it down my local and I like to show face most days, it'd be shite just having a juice.

Spot on there Moobser. I sleep like a log when I'm aff it.

When i was young and single, and working offshore id nearly always have 2 weeks off drink whilst away then be out 19 nights out of my 21 at home. Spent a small fortune but had a fuckin brilliant time.

 

Longest stint off it was when i started training with my PT (start of 2013) - didnt touch a drop from hogmanay until about June.

 

Nowadays i sometimes maybe go 3 or 4 weeks without a drink but am quite partial to a beer and a nip in the house at the weekend. And nights out i'm still a liability.

That's pretty much my story minus the PT.

 

When i moved into my first flat in King Street i was out Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night and a Sunday afternoon with Monday and Tuesday off it. Like you i spent a fortune and wonder how i managed to live and pay a mortgage.

Like i mentioned above i can go days and weeks with out touching a drop, but can be a bit of a liability with the drink in, as evidenced in Puerto Banus a couple of weeks ago when i face planted and broke my glasses.

What do you do for fun?

[maryhilldon]

What do you do for fun?

Cleans the cooker.

[Parklife]

What is the definition of that? You could make it up the stairs?

Circa 7% body-fat. Running 10km in under 38 minutes and benching 1.5x my body weight.

 

I've fallen right away from that though. Was way too much effort. I'm happy with 15% body fat, 44 minute 10km's and benching around my bodyweight these days.

[Parklife]

Fat bastard

I genuinely was a bit of a fat bastard about 10 years ago. Then lost it all and got mega fit.

 

A healthy combo of the two these days. Work out plenty + eat very well and drink often.

[Don Fonte]

Went a few weeks early this year when I had nothing on and was riding a new bird who wasn't really into boozing. Soon got bored and dumped the bird and got back on the booze.

 

I'll have a drink a few days a week now and a proper mess of a drinking marathon every week or 2.

[Parklife]

How fat is fat? (Ye fat bastard)

I was around 100kg at 5ft 11'. Pretty fat.

[fatjim]

The first 17 years of my life I didn't touch the stuff.

 

I have had 6 months without alcohol after having had a kidney stone.

 

I can easily go weeks without it. been a couple of weeks since the last time I had any alcohol.

 

Much rather smoke weed

[Foster14]

Went around 2 1/2 months in 2010 when preparing for the Loch Ness Marathon.  Wanted a good time, but instead got shin splints from training and went off the wagon big time the weekend before it.  

 

Did 6 weeks through April and early May pre birth of the daughter.  

 

Outside of that, rarely more than a week between drinks, and it would be a fortnight tops. 

 

Consumption has dwindled over recent years.  I get a lot worse hangovers than I used to.  Chicken and the egg scenario there, can't remember which came first...

[Parklife]

Fiver down on Parkie for whoever he's battering in the Hat Fight Night.

Money wasted. I'm still a shit fighter haha.

[Foster14]

Money wasted. I'm still a shit fighter haha.

 

Could have absorbed a few blows and sat on someone when you were a fatty.  

[maryhilldon]

Hangovers are a fuckin nightmare once you hit your 40s. Used to feel fine by lunchtime when in my 20s, I suffer into the next day now unless I get drunk again.

[Poodler]

Some well disciplined folk around here.

 

I keep lying to myself that I've got no responsibilities so it's acceptable to be drinking in Coopers at 8am.

 

I'll wise up if I have a kid, he says, having spent 8 ton on drugs this month already.

 

Need an intervention. Fars @@Dad

[HairyPie]

I think this can all be decided once 'pipes rearranges BSDH's shindig.

[fatjim]

My Dad was an alcoholic. He on occasion would drink 5 bottles of whisky in a weekend. Totally put me off alcohol. He actually stopped drinking just before I turned 18. I never got drunk with him but did get stoned with him several times.

[King Street Loon]

Should've been wearing contacts or got laser eye correction, KSL.

I've contacts but usually end up too pished to take them out at the end of the night and its sore as fuck taking them out in the morning. Better to wear glasses.

[The Buzzard]

Probably drink more regularly these days than I have for a while. Used to get through a weekend with no alcohol no problem if I had nothing planned. These days I love buying some booze for sitting indoors.

 

On holiday the now and have actually just woken up after falling asleep on the balcony in full view of the evening diners after sinking a fair few today. Place was empty when I nodded off.

 

 

[Parklife]

What you weighing in at now, Parko?

About 78kg.

[Dons79]

Only drink on holidays and that would be strawberry daiquiris,don’t drink here so will only have about 30 alcoholic beverages a year, a puff but so was never really a drinker anyway

Thought you were a chef?

 

Defo the biggest puff of a chef I've ever heard of.

[Chewie37]

Used to drink as excessively as possible all the time, would’ve put Bluto and his crew to shame on my own. Took a year off a few years ago because “Dry January” has to be the gayest idea ever. Only really got smashed a few times since, my stag weekend and a couple of visits to the UK and once here when I drank a bottle of tequila after not drinking for ages, messy. Didn’t drink once the missus got pregnant and she can’t drink still while breast feeding so I don’t bother now and don’t really miss it.

Nothing to do with keeping fit or whatever for myself. Never been a fan of having one or two sitting in the house. Will usually only drink if I'm on a day sesh or night out. December is usually a drunken month.
