oldgrump Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Well I might do!! Think I drunk and ate to much over Christmas. But had a blood test today and reckon doc's not going to be to happy with me. So I might try to stay off the lager for awhile, and I suppose the chocolate's, cake's, mince pies etc etc!!! Could end up being a boring January 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister in law, makes around 300 mince pies, and we end up with over 100!! + she makes a Christmas Cake for each of the family, so there's a bloody big cake that's not even been looked at here!! Every day we go round the mother in laws {which is most days at moment} we get Mince pies and Christmas cake stuffed on a plate!!!!!!!! And I think I got 4 tubs of Celebrations from mates, mind you some have long date's, so we take them when we go on holiday's during the year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleck Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I realised I felt better without drink about 6 months ago, (although I do have a pint on Wednesday lunchtime if I go out) also I sleep better, enjoy dinner more, save loads of money and my blood pressure is spot on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently in airport scanners they look like Semtex. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with family issues I need to able to drive at short notice so I'm not drinking much anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlesticks Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) I remember working in a government building where they x-ray all the incoming mail. Someone thought it would be a good idea to get a set of bike lights delivered to work, but they arrived on a Saturday when he was not available. You could not imagine a more bomb-like image. Caused a small kerfuffle, and an impromptu get-together of the bomb squad plus assorted fire engines and ambulances.

Tiggie Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I'm doing semi dry Jan Put on a bit too much over last year so I'm only drinking now on a weekend rather than a couple of cans a night etc. Want to know what I have in common with this man?.......... Spoiler We both weigh the same!! 218lbs (98.8kg) Strangely enough I have nowhere close to that level of muscularity and we are the same height so I cant use that excuse 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxie49 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 No, I won't be partaking in the newly named "veganuary" either .... I don't drink to excess anyway, don't feel the need to partake in these things, everything in moderation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I'm thinking of increasing all substance intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 If I was home I'd never follow a "dry" routine. As it is I'm at sea so it's an involuntary dry January replete with unannounced alcohol tests etc. As to veganuary just piss off. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie man Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Nope. Don't drink that much anyway, hardly any beer was consumed however, I do like to maintain a weekly intake of Polyphenols, in the guise of Red Wine.

I've not really been drinking for the last 2 years but have the opinion of go for moderation. Most the Xmas booze is still unopened the odd beer wine or spirit will be my approach. Last supervised exercise session with heart monitors tomorrow ofter my triple bypass then I have a year's free gym membership courtesy of a local charity in cooperation with the local hospital. Life's too short to have no fun but I'll be doing moderate exercise and diet and enjoying life in between! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
