I started this ‘lockdown’ process off with the laughingly ambitious aspiration of not drinking for the month of April, which I’ve failed to achieve (obvs) but last ‘weekend’ (Thurs to Sat) apart, I’ve been pretty good. That weekend apart (which I thoroughly enjoyed btw) I’ve had alternate days on the wagon at the very least and even last Thurs to Sat wasn’t a classic bender, as I was sober for most of the time I was awake. I genuinely love those ‘lost weekends’.
Drinking less beer and malt, but more (red)wine. Not drinking in the day (except last Thursday). Exercising more too.
Most of my mates have greatly increased their alcohol intake, but I’ve definitely reduced mine. Tbf, last time I got my liver checked out it was in good working order, but I’m conscious I can’t rely upon that with a free pass forever.
I’m definitely a low-level, functioning alcoholic, and I’m pretty sure my alcohol consumption will foreshortened my life, which I’m fairly cool with, but I’m certainly not ready to go just yet, and now I’m 50 I know I’ve got to cut down considerably I’m going to avoid that - and my body won’t care if there’s a pandemic and associated lockdown if I push it too far. I also want to be as fit as I reasonably can should I catch Covid-19 (assuming I haven’t already)
Looking at an unopened bottle of red right now, but I’m not going to touch it until Wednesday at the earliest.
Probably.
I’ve had 6 booze few days this year so far. Not good. Saying that last year wasn’t much better either. In fact it might have been fewer. Runs in the family too which doesn’t bode well!
Jeeez quite a lot mate
Years of practise.Hats off if the waking up/ bed time, 5k and work are not slippng due to the booze.
I always have wine with my food, and I eat every day.
White or red with your cornflakes ?I always have wine with my food, and I eat every day.
Quite an apt point about the being fit in case you catch COVID - that’s my driver for doing a 5k every day, having the long walk with the dog in the afternoon, and also a super healthy smoothie (kale, spinach, mixed nuts, banana, raspberries and blueberries with coconut water as the fluid/mixer) late afternoon before I move into the alcohol intake.I started this ‘lockdown’ process off with the laughingly ambitious aspiration of not drinking for the month of April, which I’ve failed to achieve (obvs) but last ‘weekend’ (Thurs to Sat) apart, I’ve been pretty good.
