Re: Quitting the Booze
In my youngers years I was a cider drinker, I drank far too much for a woman really. It piled weight on me. I don't drink cider anymore I opt for home brewed white wine which works out at just over a quid a bottle. My husband and I share a bottle with our supper most nights.Re: Quitting the Booze
Re: Quitting the Booze
I am now retired after about 40 years as a winemaker. In that time I can only remember twice when I overdid it and drank too much. I never suffered from hangovers. To me there are two types of problem drinkers. Drunks and alcoholics. The latter is really a medical condition where the consumer has a genetic variation to dealing with alcohol derived from our hunter gatherer ancestors, who had to consume fruits that had begun to ferment. I have a relation who is an alcoholic. It was hard for him to adjust and it is eventually solved by him adopting a positive approach when offered a glass by saying "Thank you but I am an alcoholic". Being an alcoholic is similar to being a diabetic, you must learn to live with it. Being a 'drunk' on the other hand is just social irresponsibilty.Re: Quitting the Booze
I have had a drinking problem before and gave it up for about 20 years. I went back to it and ended up with the same problem again. Now I have given it up again due to health reasons. I don't have a big income and am saving money and hopefully my health will improve too.Re: Quitting the Booze
I always view drinking alcohol as a treat, so I don't want to stop drinking.Thread Tools | |
