It’s been 796 days since I’ve drank alcohol.
Congratulations! I’m coming up in a decade and a half. Finally (hopefully) sobered up at 31. Best thing that ever happened to me.
Me too.
Big congrats! I just crossed the 3 year mark. Came to this thread because I stopped drinking right before I turned 30 so i technically havent had any alcohol in my 30s, which is pretty weird to think about.
That’s great!
Rarely. The hangover extends over 3 days now. It’s just not worth it.
Same here
Back when I went from 350lbs to 190lbs racing bicycles and commuting full time long distance, my legs turned into lead bricks for 3-4 days after any drinking at all, not just drunk. It messed up everything from sodium uptake to digestive rhythm, to my VO2 heart rate zones. That was back in my mid to late twenties too. It isn’t just the hangover or age. When you need 4k plus calories per day, bad food habits get amplified sharply. I think everyone is experiencing something like this, but are not aware of the effects for the most part. I dropped out of a race from it once and it added 15-20 minutes to my 1.5-2.0 hour commute each way if I drank.
Drink more water and 400mg of magnesium daily.
Way too fucking much.
Probably should consider myself a functioning alcoholic.
Usually go through a 1.75L of Jack per week on my own.
Been through a similar phase ~12yrs ago, but pulled out of that one changing jobs.
I drink when I’m stressed, but it’s a vicious cycle because I know I shouldn’t and that stresses me as well.
Ive seen people struggle with drinking almost all my life and in my opinion it’s as bad as a cocaine habit, and just as hard to kick.
Just know you don’t need to go it alone and you should access everything within reach (friends, programs at work etc.) when you decide to change it.
I wish you the absolute best!
Thanks friend.
Once a week at most, usually I go two or three weeks before heading over to my local pub.
Sometimes not for weeks, sometimes nightly.
I used to drink every Friday, but recently quit. 3 weeks free now
A few times a year. Usually in the summer when I’m outside grilling. Drank a fair amount in my 20s. Then I had kids. I didn’t want to be hungover and having to deal with kids. Also didn’t have time to drink after kids.
A beer or bourbon a few times a week depending on how wound up I am after work. Haven’t actually drank enough to get drunk in months. The last few times I did it was hitting me weird and just making me tired anyway.
Rarely. Maybe one drink every other week or so.
I want to enjoy what I’m drinking. I like Islay single malts. I can’t afford the Islay single malts that I really like anymore. So…
I have one beer most nights now, since like a year ago. I never drink more or anything else other than a glass of wine instead occasionally. Before that, maybe once a month. I’m not in race shape (bicycle) any more but for my 30’s, I’m in far better shape than most.
1 beer about 5 days per week. Second beer maybe once or twice a month. Haven’t been drunk in probably 5 years or so.
0 times a year.
There isn’t really an upside to getting drunk, but there are a lot of downsides.
Lowering my inhibition allows me to enjoy music
I don’t drink at all. I did the normal college binge drinking thing, but I usually like to keep busy and alcohol makes me too cloudy to think.
So I don’t really enjoy it.
Even if I’m gaming, I get frustrated with the cloudiness and end up just laying around.
I wish there were good quality non alcohol wines And beers as I really like the taste.
Once or twice a month I’ll have a tall boy and a half, enough to feel bad in the morning
I don’t think I’ve been “drunk” in at least 10 years or so. But, I tend to have one drink most days after work.
