I’ve made the decision to stop drinking alcohol for a while. I’m shooting for a month and we’ll see how I feel after a month has gone by. If it feels good I just might go on forever. I’ve got a number of reasons for quitting, the most prevalent being calorie consumption. It’s just way too hard to follow a restricted calorie diet and drink alcohol. One, beer contains a ton of calories. Two, when I’m drunk I eat too much.
There are plenty of other reasons to quit as well. Like the fact that there is addiction in my family, or the fact that there have been a few rough nights between the wife and I because of the amount of alcohol I consumed. Also, I’ve had a beer the last couple nights and it just didn’t make me feel good.
Cheers to not drinking!

Nice good luck with it. I started a similiar deal about 3 weeks ago. I am not stopping drinking, but I am not getting drunk. My hang overs have been killing me, and giving me panic attacls and such. So my new rule is I can relax and do whatever, but I am not allowed to have hang overs which in turn means that I can have about 3 beers max, once I feel anything beyond a buzz, I switch to water and stop.
So far so well... Anyways, I think taking some time off from drinking, is good and healthy. A couple years back Ben decided to quit drinking for a month during college. It is always good to keep vices in check especially if worried about addiction.
Good luck and keep to the plan man.
You coming to the Flobots Saturday man?
peace,
Dan
