I drink no more than 8-10 units per week (5-6 pints), so I won't die of alcoholism, dehydration and kidney failure anytime soon hopefully.
Ironically, at the moment my life is paused indefinitely as regards anything approaching having more than half a pint of anything at all including water, so everything has ceased in the way of enjoyment and happiness.
But I don't post in the General Chat area anymore so that post was pointless as nobody will have seen it, including me who forgot I wrote it.
Of course though if you were still posting in the General Chat threads I would have answered thus:

As I am teetotal I would possibly have been answering that I only have social media forums full of imaginary people such as yourself, and those reading this, to talk to. However, as most on here seem like real people most of the time I will still be reading all posts, allowing for the occasional person who does drink but doesn't post on forums. As you say though, you are no longer posting on this General Chat thread so you will not have seen this post!

In all seriousness though Floydy, enjoy your half-pint allowance while having a chat on Saturday afternoons with your life-long friends, and also while at home watching TV on Friday evenings, and any other time too of course.

Pleased you saw the humour in this, Baz. A few others would see it fly sideways over their heads

Re: Are you a tea totaller?

My biggest worry was how long would that can of lager on the table in the foreground last before I ordered another. Short video clip of a longer one took on board ship

Yes, I don't quite need a 'sense of humour' transplant, not yet anyway!

Re: Are you a tea totaller?

I drank my lifetime supply of alcohol by middle age, therefore, I am not allowed any more. I loved it too much.

Re: Are you a tea totaller?

I like a pink gin or a glass of wine or champagne ...nothing wrong in drinking alcohol as long as you don't overdo it....I have only ever been drunk once in my life....never again!

Re: Are you a tea totaller?

I was for about 15 years seeing my mum as she was put me off entirely. But last year I had a shandy as we had a party and I some how ended up with one in my hand at toast time. Anyway it wasn't end of the world I wasn't like my mum and I have had a weak shandy most days since. Two on a weekend when I let loose a bit LOL

Re: Are you a tea totaller?

I'm not teetotal. I'd never want to give up drinking my 5 pints of beer a week.
