    ...as long as you take the skin off, it's quite low in fat but an excellent source of protein.

    I live near there - I hate the place.

    Well, I spent less than a tenner on three pints of real ale, but that was on City of London borders. However, I'd pay a ton a pint NOT to have to drink Stella anywhere north of the M25 and definitely not in Sheffield.

    Just had three pints of Fuller's London Pride. Ah, I feel so much better now.

    1) not drinking at all is NOT good for me.
    2) not getting out and having some interaction, even if it is only ordering a pint and asking a barmaid what part of the world they come from, is even worse.

    I say well done both of you for abstaining. I dunno if I've spelt that right, but you get the gist.

    Nah. I've experienced similar. I can tell you, when you overcome the inverse alcoholism, you regret it. My advice is to listen to that "still small voice",

    started a topic This is not a good sign

    This is not a good sign

    Just looking at my food / booze chart for this week. I have had a total of 1 beer. OK, the prior week I had 9, but the week before that was zero.

    I thought, "Getting on for 9pm. Time for the pub". Then I thought, "I just can't be arsed". I've got a bottle of Old Speckled Hen nicely chilled, but I don't fancy that either.

    I've developed a sort of inverse alcoholism. Not being able to drink has resulted in me going from loving my booze, to avoiding it.

    I don't which of , , , or applies.

Working...
