thewelk Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 it was a monumental waste of money. Exactly. And it's weird how we justify it to ourselves. I refuse to pay more than 2 quid for an app for my phone that I'll use for years but don't bat an eyelid at paying 4 quid for a pint of chemical pish.

kumnio Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I couldnt give up drink, although I rarely drink. Being a big fanny, I cant drink lager or beer, so its cider, vodka or wine for me. I actually prefer Diet Irn Bru or Coke Zero, but the thought of being sober when surrounded by drunk people is enough to make me drink. I have a cupboard full of wine and spirits, well a couple of cupboards to be honest, but they will just sit there untouched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deedee Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 the thought of being sober when surrounded by drunk people is enough to make me drink. I hated that at first when i stopped drinking but it doesn`t bother me at all now. Saying that, it`s not that often i`m surrounded by drunk people.

sbcmfc Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Why do you all do this every January. Same old good intentions that never materialise. I don't bother kidding myself on. Completely agree. I have mitigating circumstances, wife is expecting, and due early March, so I'm considering myself on standby for that. So it's not for any January detox. Need to save about £1500 before maternity pay kicks in too! I normally make a point of eating and drinking more in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return of Yermaw Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 This topic comes up on here about every 2 months and without fail everyone says they have been off it for x amount of weeks/months and pretend that they didn't miss it, it's hilarious. Some genuinely may not miss it but by Christ, their pals in the pub probably miss them on it......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Woke up this morning with the intention of going a fortnight without a drink. As I type this out I'm sitting at the bar drinking Guinness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 That Scotland has a real problem with drink is undeniable, speak to anyone who works in the NHS or just go for a wander around any city centre late on a Friday night and you will see that. I applaud the efforts of the Scottish government to do something about the easy accessibility of cheap alcohol from the supermarkets, although the drinks industry will fight that one all the way. What gets lost though is that most people can enjoy a drink, without it becoming a problem. The new recommendations are going to specify at least two alcohol free days a week, and for the majority that has never been a problem, even those who enjoy wine with a meal a few times a week. A nice wine with food is one of life's real pleasures, and a pint or four around the football is something I would certainly miss - give me that ahead of the organised, desperate 'look at me having fun' shite that is Hogmanay.

Bristolhibby Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 You coming up for freindly vs Serbia if it goes ahead ? PS happy new year to you and yours Not sure Bri, thinking of stashing my cash for a few months. I'd like to tie in a Hibs match at the same time. Could be one game at Easter Road and then straight across town to Tynecastle if rumours are correct. Happy New year to you as well!

J If they are both 3 o'clock kick offs (unless anyone's heard different) it'll be half an hour or so at Easter Road then taxi it to Asbestos Dome for the second half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ramy 1314 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Deedee. Reading your post. I do not have a problem with alcoholism. I merely said I was going to quit the drink for the first time in my life. I have gone off the sauce before, but never tried to pack it in as I did want to try. I love a good swallie, does not mean I have a drinking problem mate. Cheers pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
