Hardly touch a drop any more BUT had a peroni and a glass of red on Friday night. Saturday was a planned rest day - and reminded me how sluggish you feel the next day after just one or two drinks1
I'm gonna join this thread. Because, due to pain killers, I am off the drink. So I can honestly say I am 100% sober (although i did have a sip of lager the other day - not much mind, just enough so that i could carry it to my girlfriend from the bar without spilling it...).
Going to a gig this weekend, so pain killers or no pain killers, I shal be partaking in a few beverages of the alcoholic variety. Followed by a 3 hour cycle the next day. Could be interesting.
Well, it all started when I had a coffee with my mate who was working from home today. It is sunny here and I may have posited the thesis that this would lead to a beer at a later hour.
It did, and another. And even as I put away the lawnmower and the strimmer, and laid to rest the other implements of gardening and such like I extended my hand unto the fridge and we partook of many more.
Ah nuts. Now I am drunk, and I am answering newbie questions with a newfound aggression for telling 'em to actually THINK or or perhaps even SEARCH.
I mean, ffs, "Do I take my pants off in the car park?" or "Can I get to Hawaii on 30mins training per week?" or "I'm not telling you my budget or ability, but which bike/wetsuit/g-string is best?"
i cant believe that im the smug prick on the internet posting this,because im i love the drink,but.................... still off it since 1st of jan. im even off the shite food.
PS no booze for two weeks now, since flashing the pups in the middle of Newquay. It was both a low point and a turning point for me! 31st birthday in a couple of weeks. still not intending to drink EVER!
Its finally my 30th today so was treated to a night in brighton last night so two bottles of wine and some cocktails although i did do a little swim while the misses was in the sauna...
And now a surprise bbq/party later today so lots and lots of beer to come!!!!!!!!! (which my idiot friends have given away)
No alcohol for a week!!!!! That is a record for me. Only problem is, its cos I have been working. Last shift finishes today at 7am. This evening, I will be back on this forum posting my evil deeds................
Do you still get a hangover from 'dinking'? Might try it anyway cos this flippin white wine is going straight to my head so swim session with a hangover tomorrow methinks....
There was an article in the 220 mag recently "train low, race high" referring to glycogen stores.
I tend to do a lot of training hungover (Sunday long run for example). By the same logic surely staying dry for a few days before a race gives the body a nice surprise. Train hungover, race fresh?

Rest day tomorrow (from training if not from work!) and can't drink tomorrow night as doing 10k race (or rather shuffle) on Sunday so.....cheers!

Sounds like it could be kinda funky....

Have marker pen ready for my smiley, trouble is I can't find a red one so reckon I'll lose a bit of speed there..
97 beers, a magners and half a bottle of vodka in dinking games......
Im never drinking again
About a bottle and a half of wine since.
I've had a pint of beer, and am now on a glass of rather nice Rioja. And there is a chicken roasting in the oven.
I have had an hours swim, plus the longest ride of the year so far. And a game of tennis. The weather is fantastic, and I deserve it!
Will be back on the straight and narrow (today is also the 40th day of my "fast", so I think I've done pretty well).
1 bottle of french beer (one of those small ones you get in the supermarket)
Its a confression I have been needing to make all day!!!!LOL/
