darin3 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hate to go all cliaz on you, but I'm starting yet another thread today. I'm sure many, if not all, of you will surely appreciate this... I haven't had a sip of booze in 3 whole weeks I had surgery 2 weeks ago, and have had some "other" things going on, so just haven't felt up to goin' out with the boys, or even having a beer or glass of wine with dinner or to "wind down". I don't recall a time where I've gone this long without a beer or cocktail. Does that make me a boozer? Nah, just an average dude that enjoys a cold beer with buddies or a glass of vino with the girl. For the past few years, Wednesday nights have been guys' night out... so goin' back to that tonight. I'll probably only do this every OTHER week now, as I honestly feel better that I've felt in a long time... plus it's easier on the pocketbook. So, celebrate the start of summer... longest day of the year... pop the top, have a beer. What are you doing/drinking/eating/etc.? Happy Hump Day! Here goes my first sip of tasty Sparkz Plus: LINK That was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Almost the same boat here. My inlaws don't drink and I only had 4 beers total in the last four weeks. However, I stopped by Costco tonight and bought a case of Sam Adams and I have already made a dent in it. (It is taking the pain away from the Cardinals being down 9-3 after two innings after they gave up 20 runs last night). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewer Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I went a few days without a beer about 2 years ago when I had the flu and didn't get out of bed for 36 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenzal rhomb Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Went two weeks this year when I did the South Beach diet. Cut my weight from 189.5 to 176. Also cut the drinking back to three nights a week as opposed to six/seven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefjay Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I don't drink very much these days but I rarely go about a month without a few beers. Can't remember my longest stretch without but I'm guessing it's only a month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I haven't had a beer in over a year. I would get sick everytime I drank..not like hangover sick. I would be sick for 3-4 days after drinking. I love the taste of beer...always have. I would drink 1-2 beers every night until it got to the point I couldn't even do that without getting sick. Found out I had celiac desease and had to quit. There's nothing I miss more than drinking an ice cold bottle of Bud Light while sitting on our deck cooking out. So tip one back for me Darin.
