Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread

[footyfan1978]

I drank on and off for many years. Still do. Rarely drank at footy and never really felt the need to. Last time I remember doing so was three quarter time of 1995 grand final. I am there generally to see footy. I've never understood those that want to go to footy and get sloshed.

If they only sold drinks from half time and beyond would certainly reduce some of the drunk dickheads in crowd.

I drink Pepsi Max and Kirks Lemonade. Never had any real issues with them.

I drank for 30 years and haven't for 12 - I know which (and which me) I prefer.......

I still drink but recognise it to be a somewhat silly, albeit addictive pass time.
Have to find the right reason to give up once and for all.

I'll have a drink at the ground but usually just to get away from the people around me.

The true patriotic drink...

If one ignores the 2000 Cola takeover.

I love to have a beer with Duncan ,We drink in moderation where the atmosphere is great because Duncan is my "mate"

I am waiting for the final side to be announced. Apparently we can lose the game at the selection table these days

I recall Robert Mitchums quote about people who don’t drink :

“When you wake up in the morning that’s as good as you are going to feel all day !!”.

I also asked my doctor if I give up drinking will it make me live longer ?

He said “no - but it will seem longer !!”

Sounds like you could do with some serious preaching from someone has as quit drinking for 4.5 months and thinks they are now better than everyone else

Can only imagine my posting history if I did drink, probably shock some to hear I don’t given some of the antics on the game day threads.

Hi all,

Have started a new AFL podcast and recently did a really interesting interview with Glenn Manton. He's an unbelievable character. Have a listen as we discuss his thoughts on Kevin Sheedy, the 1995 Premiership in his first year at the blues, some hilarious stories about SOS and other Carlton greats and his infamous piercing!

Same. I’m opinionated sober. Imagine with some lubricant

I stopped drinking this year (New Year's res) and the benefits to my life have been countless.

Better at work, less stressed, no Sunday aniexty, lost weight, more money, I'm just generally 10-15% happier all the time.

I'd spend close to $100 at the footy on that watered down booze every week and usually another $50-60 having a few before or after at a pub.

In my case booze was holding me back from being better.

Getting in a drunken brawl at the footy is an absolute low point for anyone, maybe they need a break too.

Great work on the quitting of the devils nectar. I gave up temporarily from Nov 1st 2018 and it became something of a habit. Giving up that is.

It was every Saturday night for 18 years, because that’s just what tradies do apparently. Became somewhat habitual.

I’ve never felt better but I must admit, I had two during the Doggies game and 2 during the Pies game. But don’t “need” it anymore.
