Never really went to the pub much anyway.
When you tell people that you do drink and haven’t for years they look at you like you must be a recovering alcoholic rather than somebody who just decided to give up.
My mates wife gave up and when we were out and I was talking to her I used to be thinking watch what shit you come out with because everyone else will forget but she won't,!
Have been toying with the idea myself. Probably only drink once a week but often get absolutely battered, (normally on a Saturday), then Sunday is a write off so it has basically taken over the whole weekend
I used to be in pubs most nights, but slowly reduced it down. I like a good drink on a football day, but can go 3 or 4 weeks without a drink and don't even give it a thought. I know some who can have 2 pints and that's it, but I wouldn't bother going in the pub for that.My mates wife gave up and when we were out and I was talking to her I used to be thinking watch what shit you come out with because everyone else will forget but she won't,!

Last home game of the season recently had a good drink with my mates before and after the match. Felt like shit the next day, in fact took 2 days to feel better. Signs of getting older !Think my Saturdays are a bit of a novelty at the moment.
Weekends revolved around the kids for years and now there doing their own thing I'm back to having freedom I haven't had for years, problem is I'm far more susceptible to raging hangovers than I was years ago!

You would be safe with me I have a terrible memory.

You should have posted that twice for comedic effect
In the 80's me and 2 mates would be in the pub every night, first in and last out.Would love to be able to go tee total, but the fact is I love a drink. Spend all day grafting knowing a couple of bottles of rose await me when I get back.
My problem is that I could quite happily start drinking from the moment i wake up in the morning , in the week I don’t because I have to drive myself and others to work but can’t wait to get home for a glass of wine.
I actually dread weekends because when I get up and don’t have anything to do I drink coffee for aslong as I can before I invariably crack open the first bottle. It’s a bloody nightmare having to live inside my head and battle that!
Anyone who is tee total I have the upmost respect for, although being an ex publican it used to piss me off when someone came to the pub and asked for a coffee or lime and soda I must admit...
How does it affect your social life when you give up? Do you still go out to the pub?
Do people look at you suspiciously?!
