Always had to remember to get any drinks or supplies from the on campus convenience store during the week because they'd be closed on weekends - significantly cheaper than elsewhere and with options not available at the regular shops

 

[cats_09]

My go to drinks tend to be beer or whiskeys, and happy to get the premixed drinks that come with the zero sugar options. I'll also drink bourbon when in America; I've always preferenced darker spirits

Don't like overally sweet drinks, fruity type drinks and I don't drink vodka which is the base for so many cocktails

I last drank alcohol when i was 18, only drank until that point because all may mates were, decided i did not like the taste or the after affects, i turn 50 shortly, i also don't drink coffee either, i don't feel i'm missing anything.

That's awesome

I can take it or leave it when it comes to drinking - if something happened tomorrow and I was told that I could never drink alcohol again, I would genuinely have no issues with that

Where I used to work, we had staff drinks on the last Thursday of the month - helped that we had a bar onsite, so we just had to pay a nominal amount for any drinks. So for a while, that Thursday would be the only time I'd have a drink - nothing for 4 weeks, then a beer at staff drinks followed by nothing for 4 weeks

I reckon I've gone 6+ months before without a drink and didn't miss it

Haha, yeah nothing better than having a non drinker around.
I'm trying tbh. Have only drank twice since grand final day. I'm nearly at the point where I can take it or leave it.
Never thought that would happen.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Yep can drink on and off too. Last month haven’t had any.

I have no issue with anyone who chooses to have a drink, not my role to tell people how to live their life, however i don't spend a lot time in pubs and bars as being a sober person around drunk people is not a lot of fun.

No. No it's not.
Yeah I know you have no problem with drinkers at all. Its just something I've wanted to stop doing as much.

Dad would occasionally give us kids a sip of his beer down at the RSL or his cricket, but mum didn't drink, and didn't like it.

When I was about 10-y-o I had my adenoids out (after 2 or 3 years of constant bronchial-type problems) and the operation really knocked me around. In just the few days in hospital I lost a stone or more in weight, and dad was absolutely shocked that he had to carry me to the car.

So his solution was to give me a glass of stout after tea, to build me up. It tasted absolutely foul, but he made me drink it all.

However, mum put her foot down when I turned around, staggered sideways then fell flat on my face.

I know that operation - Roald Dalh had it- read about it in Boy. Was ******* medieval af just shoved a razor blade and cut them out iirc

And fwiw the drinks i drank when o was very young 18ish were- Carlton Colds, Strong bows, subzero, and midori and lemonade. And west coast cooles

I look back on all those cept the beer and feel like vomiting.
