The Booze

[Guest norseman]

I see quite a few apprentices at work coming in still half cut and stinking of booze lol I don't know how they do it or how I did it either im on the couch for the full day after, complaining like a bitch

i don't drink very often now , maybe once every few months, i could put it away when i was younger though, when i was working away it was in the pub every night after work 8-10 pints, if i had to go out on a session now the dogs wouldn't get exercised the next day, and that would bother me.

Used to drink when I was younger but could take it or leave it. I would go months without a pint, that was mostly down to night fishing for sea trout or lamping in the winter, both entailed driving late at night or early hours, so a drink was out of the question.

 

Now I drink every day near enough, not a lot, 3 or 4 pints of cider the only time I don't drink is if I am off out with the nets and then I may have a couple when I get home. Never seem to be drunk and never have a hangover, but always merry. A big plus is when someone asks me to take them anywhere, it's sorry I have had a drink

been a big drinker in my younger days and taking a few other things along the way lol. but paying bills and having a young'un has changed that (for the better of course) the last few years I've been going on and off the sauce, I don't miss it when im off it and I feel better for it. and when I do have a few I its not like the old days haha. and the day after is a write off. thinking of packing it in altogether, cant really have two/three pints and head home its all or nothing with me.

 

there must be people on here in the same boat or have been? how many of you's jacked it in and how many of you's still go on benders or just have a few?

 

don't worry its not an aa meeting,

 

i havent touched a drop for 6 years now feel great for it. and has you say i dont miss it one bit. havent smoked for 9 years however there is times when i feel like i could do with a cigerate the urge to want to smoke appears from time to time, yet i never get the urge to want to drink.

I get a lash on every weekend

 

Don't drink in the week but come the weekend....

 

I couldn't imagine not having a drink Friday or Saturday night and a catch up with mates

I had a skinful on Saturday and finished aboit 5 am yesterday morning. had to get up 3 1/2 hours later so was wrecked all day. it's now Monday morning and I'm still not fully over it.

15 or 20 years ago it wouldn't have been an issue, just can't do it these days.

I would do most of my drinking at home as its to expensive to have a session in a pub these days buts usually 2 or three max and then off to the leaba and that's done maybe twice a month if I'm lucky.

There was a stage when I was 22 I drank at least 8 pints a night 6/7 nights a week but on the weekend that would be 12 plus pints for about 6 months.Never again.

These days its a good glass of red for me, my fav tipple. If its pints its the odd cask ale but I struggle with anything over 3 now, so i'd rather leave it alone.

 

Its quality over quantity every time.

i smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish

[torchey 1,328]

Enjoy a pint or two ,if i get on a session though thats me f****d for a couple of days so them days are virtually gone...sometimes when i,ve had a good walk out with the lamp do like to crack a tin to wind down a bit...
