I'm on day 4. Feel better, but am having a hard time sleeping. Anyone else trying?

5/1/2011 12:28:30 PM

just cut back bro

what's the use of quitting

5/1/2011 12:29:15 PM

Don't be a quitter

5/1/2011 12:30:00 PM

I quit drinking about once every two weeks.

5/1/2011 12:30:29 PM

Yea how hardcore was your drinking that you had to stop altogether? I'm usually like a 2 beers grillin' kinda guy, though I did toss back a whole 6 pack last week. Guess I'm nowhere near the point that not drinking for 4 days would make me not sleep well.

5/1/2011 12:31:11 PM

not quiting fulltime, just doing a detox for a week - need beers for the grill season.

I was pounding back a ton the last year.

I'll quit when I'm dead.

as you get older the hangovers just aren't worth it anymore

5/1/2011 12:49:21 PM

I am on a scale back right now too. Have been drinking about 36 or so a week. Usually about 4-5 on Monday, 2-3 on T-R, 12-18 on F and Sat, and 2-3 on Sunday. Have had maybe 10 this week, so I'm doing well. I dont have trouble sleeping, just SUPER bored.

5/1/2011 12:52:23 PM

it is dull as fuck.

5/1/2011 12:56:40 PM

I have always been a fan of drinking 20+ beers and seeing where the night takes me. TIME TO GROW UP.

yes i quit drinking every sunday

5/1/2011 1:56:50 PM

spitters are quitters

5/1/2011 1:57:13 PM

i average about one night a month drinking...

so you may as well say i've quit


even though I'll drink 398748392478932 beers that one night

5/1/2011 2:01:58 PM

Anyone ever have a beer while sobering up?

5/1/2011 2:22:33 PM

I've never quit drinking but I have definitely cut back tremendously. I'd say I really only have a couple beers once every two weeks. Maybe once every three or four months will I get my party hard on. Like saps852 said, it's not worth the hangovers.

5/1/2011 2:27:58 PM

i play hockey three nights a week, lately. so, no, i have not quit drinking.

5/1/2011 2:37:44 PM

i quit drinking at like 4am two nights ago. been going strong since, but i just bought some beer

I haven't drank in over 2 weeks but that's somewhat normal for me. Sometimes I cut back to once or twice a week drinking.

5/1/2011 3:03:01 PM

oh fuck no

5/1/2011 3:52:55 PM

man oh man.

i prolly need to, not that i'm an alcoholic or anything (i'm functional )

but its just getting....old.

i seriously bet i would lose 10ish lbs if i did...

[Edited on May 1, 2011 at 3:59 PM. Reason : im on my 2nd beer as i post this]

5/1/2011 3:59:13 PM

i don't drink much bc it makes me feel lazier than i already am

5/1/2011 4:00:28 PM

nothing better than opening a cold beer on a Sunday afternoon.

5/1/2011 4:28:12 PM

^Try opening a cold bottle of Grey Goose on a Sunday Afternoon.

5/1/2011 4:29:57 PM

I hardly ever drink. Hate the taste of beer so when I do drink I go for the gold with capn & coke. Since I don't drink often it takes like two doubles and I'm peachy keen.

I just hate hate haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate the sobering up period, dry mouth, heart racing, want to die feeling? It can suck it.

5/1/2011 4:48:27 PM

I quit drinking for a couple months a while ago, lost a lot of weight, had trouble sleeping for a while but eventually it got easier as i found myself going to bed at a more reasonable hour even on weekends

My last hangover was so bad I considered going to the emergency room. It wasn't a "want to die feeling." I actually thought I was going to die.

5/1/2011 5:24:04 PM

^i'm trying to party with you!!

5/1/2011 5:28:48 PM

I quit drinking when I pass out

5/1/2011 5:32:03 PM

This thread makes me want a beer, either that or it's sitting on this bench at the mall.

5/1/2011 5:34:26 PM

I might have a glass of wine with a meal or a few (2 drinks) every other week or so. That's really about it. I haven't been drunk in probably a year, and before that just as long.

But I've got VERY little free time, almost none.

[Edited on May 1, 2011 at 5:39 PM. Reason : And I'd rather that time go to working out or kayaking or learning to rock climb or sailing]

5/1/2011 5:37:34 PM

I haven't had a drink since last Tuesday, but i am sleeping fine. Gonna do a full 30 days. I drank a bit more than any normal human being should for a while there.

5/1/2011 5:56:48 PM

<--- 2.5 months

5/1/2011 6:03:01 PM

^^Boo - i came in here to tell you to come to bada

[Edited on May 1, 2011 at 6:04 PM. Reason : ^]

5/1/2011 6:03:15 PM

Oh I'll still be up there in a bit. Just not drinking. I can hang out with people and not drink. And if not, then I guess I NEED to quit.

5/1/2011 6:04:57 PM

Haha its too hard for me to come out here and not drink- especially when big oak is on tap!

5/1/2011 6:09:12 PM

Meh, I'll be alright.

5/1/2011 6:10:15 PM

you fuckers are making me thristy!

5/1/2011 6:19:10 PM

I drink a lot of beer (10-12/day) but I'm still highly functional and don't drink when I have responsibilities (i.e. don't need alcohol to "get me going" and shit like that). I've been thinking about doing a detox for a month just to lose some weight but it seems like every time I consider it I feel like somebody calls me with some awesome drinking event (beerfest, TBMF, bithdays, etc.)

5/1/2011 6:19:35 PM

12 beers a day - jesus. 1000 calories a day just in beer.

I'm impressed. That must cost a fortune to drink like that.

5/1/2011 6:28:34 PM

10-12 a day? That stresses me out just thinking of all the time it would take



I should probably drink more. I noticed I don't have night terrors when I am tipsy - but I don't think I'm that dedicated.

5/1/2011 6:31:36 PM

I live in Canada now - the cheapest 12 pack you can get is just a little over 20 dollhairs.

I drink rye with no mix, so not as much cals.
