What I want to know is how much did you all drink before you stopped, I easily could finish a handle in 2 1/2 days of Vodka or Costco brand in 2 days. with only a slight buzz, these drinks when friends tried them called them Elephant tranquilizers.
Iāve been a 2 to 3 beers a day guy for 10+ years. Rarely more than 4, except on a warm Saturday it might be a 12 pack of domestic cheap beer.
Although I almost never get drunk (been a few years at least) itās crazy how Iāve gotten used to going to bed with a bit of a buzz. Although Iāll have a drink feb 1, Iād like to think Iāll be better about drinking after this. At least I hope so...
usually never during Sunday - Thursday, but would accrue on average ~8-12 drinks on Friday and Saturday combined. Usually no more than 6-7 a night but a few nights there were more, and I am trying to limit that.
For what its worth to anyone on this forum, here is my new year's resolution - maybe this system will be helpful for you - let me tell you what I am trying to manage to / my goals
1) Having a system in place is key - I'm very good with food - I stay away from stuff I shouldn't have because I have a system. Trying to do the same with booze - it has been getting better and better each year
2) sometimes events happen; weddings, bachelor parties, reunions - there is opportunity for more consumption - and thats OK.
3) Given #2, however, want to eliminate "random" evenings - ones where more than a few should NOT happen and probably happen because I'm BORED
so anyways - my 2020 system - manage to ~4 drinks / average a week, or 234 drinks a year. On a "big night", or an event, the maximum is 6 drinks. Also, I want to have 3 months of sobriety, but those 3 months must come at a minimum 21 day increments. I only have a drink ~80-100 days a year, so the overall number of "sober" days is high, its more about having that longer streak to really "bake in" the benefits.
anyways - if thats helpful, I'm happy, if not, no worries.
