Not drinking is just part of an overall fitness drive.
TBH I was well impressed with Brillo's ironman exploits and would like to try somefink like that in a year or so.

Quite a few people I know drink EVERY night

I've never done that, and do find that a bit odd.

You couldn't even abstain from CUK and had to beg for a ban.

Says the man that has 4 CUK logins.

Being someone who used to go out drinking every weekend for around 25 yrs I recently cut right down, to about once a fortnight sometimes not even that. I dropped about a stone within a couple of months and my energy levels rose. I feel about 10 yrs younger and rarely have any moments of feeling fed up like I did when drinking. You come to realise how many people you know are borderline alcoholics. Quite a few people I know drink EVERY night and some obviously have a problem.

I recognise that. Most of the people I know in my local are borderline alcoholics. I've recently given up drinking 2 nights a week. But I used to be in the pub every night for a few and that's where a lot of my social life is still.

Anyway, can't dawdle. Friday night and time for early doors pip pip
