I have 2 close family members that have died from alcohol abuse, a third is way on his way.

I think it’s kept my drinking right down seeing the effects first hand.

Nice work. I’m 412 days drink and drug free. All got a bit out of hand last year, mainly due to self-medicating anxiety and depression issues, ended up going to rehab in Thailand, best thing I ever did. I sure as hell don’t miss hangovers, and don’t miss the fear and anxiety I’d get after a heavy session.

I do wish the UK had more options in terms of non-alcoholic drinks, mainland Europe seems much better for this.

Brew Dog Nanny State is pretty good though

Me too, but a good French red beats anything for me :slight_smile:

That doesn’t sound like a huge amount? Maybe 9 units for the wine and another 2 for each cocktail?

#227

Congratulations- always a good thing to wake up after a night out and not have the fear!

More non-alcoholic drink options would be good as it can be pretty dull - not tried the brew dog but will give it a try at some point.

Oh haha that’s different :wink: the G&Ts are a unit or two each depending on the size, the wine would be two or three units and the cocktails maybe two units each. So that’s like 12-15 units maybe?

As a weekly intake that’s not huge :slight_smile:

Nanny State is my wife’s drink of choice during pregnancy. Definitely the best non-alcoholic beer out there.

As someone who used to be into beer like you seem to be, it is one thing I miss, I get envious of my mates getting to try all these new beers. But with people like Mikkeller, Brew Dog and even Pressure Drop making beers less than 0.5%, things are improving and I hope more breweries do it

Got a friend who quit drinking for similar reasons (and didn’t really like the person she was when drunk), who now makes it her mission to try every weird soda she can find in bars.

How do you rate Naked? I used to use them but I much prefer being able to pick up and physically inspect a bottle before I buy it. I’m really looking forward to my trip to Majestic in December.

@meowington Everyone knows that people who are “”“into”"" wine and beer are the dullest, most boring twats and their “”“hobby”"" is pathetic.

Remember when xylopwn made a thread about how women don’t have hobbies. LOL

Tend to drink nearly every night mostly at home but in moderation. Go through a bottle of 70 cl spirit every week so averages out at 100ml per night which is something like 4 units per night. Usually drink aged rums, brandy or single malts which usually cost around £30-40 per bottle so can’t afford to drink more than that and wouldn’t want to anyway for health reasons.

I’ve had a couple of cases from them. Every single wine was delicious.

But the Emails they send you. Those Emails. Man.
