The abstinence thread

There is one question missing and that is "can you go without a drink?" If the answer to that is "no" then you do have a problem. Otherwise those questions are a little alarmist although if one is perpetually having accidents, getting into fights, and particularly having problems at home and at work because of drink - seek help.

Anyway, this thread is about not drinking rather than drinking.

Perhaps we should have an abstinence thread social - green tea all round?

I do love a bit of green tea.

Since buying a car, I now drive to my weekly poker games, obviously don't drink and often do far better than I used to. The only problem now is, my tolerance for drunken idiots is very low and I normally start arguments with people who have suddenly become incapable of dealing or performing basic arithmetic :$
