Seriously i am thinking about giving up alcohol for the new year

it's not that i go out fdrinking every week,

it's mor ethat when i go out , about 25% of the time, i end up making an ass out of myself and this is alot of the time

it's really for me a choice between slowing up my drinking or giving up it altogether

all my friends say i drink like a fish soslowing down the drinking would be hard

so i think that going cold turkey may be the best option

also it's hard, i want a girlfriend. Whre i drink my pronunciation goes to hell so i can't like talk to any girl properly. And girl.s don#'t like drunks.

But than again do girl's find men that don't drink attractive? i wouldn't say so.

yeah yesterday at dinner time, i said to my parents that i was planning to give up alcohol

they gave me a lecture about it

i think i live in bizarro world

they lectured you for wanting to give it up? weird

I've decreased my drinking quite a bit over the last few months.

I went cold turkey for a month, and then slowly let it back in, but in decreased amounts. I've almost completely given up beer drinking except in social settings, and now mostly stick with mixed drinks.

A period of cold turkey really lets you reevaluate what effects alcohol really has on you.

interesting point. Thanks :)

i think a friend of mine does that occassionally. he would give up beer and then have a date inwhich he starts drinking again set (like a birthday or an anniversary of his relationship)

I've decided to deffinately give up alcohol. It's mno more thinking about it, it's doing it

You get guinness straight from the brewery and you're giving it up!? What a waste of living in Ireland! :)
