If you go to a pub and order a long life fruit juice and soda water you deserve what you get LOLOLOLOL
If you go to a pub there are very few alternatives.

a 'st clements' is a good alternative. one of those small bottles of bitter lemon with orange juice

Squash and soda all the way.
It's for this reason I don't go to the Roebuck.
They don't serve squash. Only freshly squeezed juice. wANKERS -

soda&lime can sometimes still be had for less than a quid for a pint. I have had some try and charge for a double-mixer though, bastards.
in the office I used to drink hot water instead of tea. at home it's always Ovaltine or hot chocolate. this is not helping my spare tyre (or helping it too much)...

- Do you ever drink to escape from your problems or worries?
- Do you often have five, six or more units at one time?
- Do you ever feel embarrassed or annoyed with yourself after drinking?
- Have you ever had a blackout or forgotten what you have done as a result of drinking?
- Do you often have five, six or more units at one time?
*Not usually.
*Yes.
*Oh yes.
*Thankfully....yes.Hmmm, perhaps I should be abstaining from alcohol instead of abstaining from abstinence.
I'll start tomorrow......

Drink the fridge dry.
Drink my 'beer corner' dry.
Have a dig around under the sink for the windolene...
Seriously though, I only drink drinks, not products.
Yet.

I'd managed a month without drinking, not deliberately but due to work.
Then I went to Oxford, with the aim of meeting up with Bernie and co.....
I got to Oxford, bumped into a mate.
Woke up at 7am- in room. score.I then played Hurling for an hour or so.
Then went back to watch the rugby.
Arrived 3 hrs late for the celebration dinner, out of my face.
Woke up at 5am. in JCR. bad.I then had a quiet evening with some biochemists and a bottle of vodka and top gear and the king's speech.
Binge Drinking ftw.
Now its coursework, till I can go back out next thursday after hand in day... -

My m8 reckons he lost nearly a stone in a month by just not boozing at all.

i plan not to drink for the month of january and see how I get on from there

I have made the solemn promise to abstain from alcohol until march 11th (my birthday). I overdid it in both November & December by a long way.

I would like to spend January and February booze free, and will be trying to go a little paleolithic with the diet, mainly by avoiding grains and processed foods. I'm hoping that a lack of hangovers and calories from booze along with the diet change will allow me to exercise lots and lose some serious weight.... and save up some pennies!
Good luck to anyone else planning on a period of abstinence!

I'm thinking of giving up booze for a month but don't think I'll make it...

Then you probably won't.
A month is only four weeks, it's really not a long time and it's easily achievable. Go for it! You can easily do it!
My plan is quitting smoking, zero drink for Jan, and exercise. All quite cliche. I think I'll be fine with drinking... altho it suddenly makes trying to meet girls a million times harder.
Smoking is going to be the tough one, as for some reason I still don't have that 'I'm quitting for good' mentality that I've had in the past.
I'd like to get any drinking post Jan back to solely wine with food, and only in company.

2 good points there.
A month really isn't a long time Iain, if you want to do it you can, why not take the month off booze and go mad at the gym, give you something to keep busy with and they say that alcohol can lessen gym gains by upto 70%... guns could be even more impressive (:
and the meeting girls/socializing thing. yeah it's hard, I think I become a bit of a recluse when I cut out the booze, it can be pretty boring going out sober...

My booze free January lasted until I was forced into a pub by the rain in Camden this afternoon. And I had to finish off the bottle of red from last night with my cheese earlier. What's the point in cheese without wine?

Gave up alcohol for December; a possible yeast related thing was giving me more phlegm than I required. Not sure if it helped because I made some other changes at the same time, I'm no good at science. Regardless, things are a little better and I sure enjoyed the Enamore last night.

How much phlegm does one require these days?

Less than I had anyway. Especially bad when going to sleep, needing to constantly swallow and not getting anything accomplished.

I gave up alcohol a year ago today.
Feel like celebrating, but that is a bit awkward
I surprised myself by sleeping tons better, and I love mornings now though. Doubt I will ever go back, but I keep saying to myself if i get really old and crotchety I will take up drinking and smoking! -
