€50 a glass. Janey mac, hope it was nice
I feel bad for drinking my west coast cooler now
I really didn't want her to open it but that was just me being selfish because she had a very good reason to celebrate.
Anyway, onwards and upwards. I've had a chat with all of my mates and most of them don't want to drink until Paddy's day in March. We are all in our mid twenties (26/27) and kind of realised that we all drink a bit too much. We're not 18-21 anymore, or in college. We all have jobs with responsibilities, some of us have kids, etc so this really is such a relief for me that the lads want to do this as well. Mind you, they are drinking this weekend as it is one of their birthdays and that's cool. This is a lot easier knowing my mates feel the same/similar to myself.

€300 bottle of wine... you're forgiven !!! (was it nice???):) It's great that your mates are going to support you, it makes it so much easier, Supercereal, it's hard when you have to justify something like giving up drink, people can get very defensive. My OH keeps asking me do I want a beer/glass of wine when he is getting himself one, I know he's just being polite but arghhh, don't tempt me!!!0 -

I'm going to join in a little late here too! I stopped drinking 2 days after Christmas following my second "never again" hangover in a week. Have said this SO many times so am making it stick now.
So far so good, the first couple of weeks were hard, really missed my glass (bottle) of wine in the evening, the snow and cold weather hasn't helped either, a glass ofw ine is the perfect partner to a roaring fire (any excuse). However, still off, not a drop passed my lips and am feeling great for it, no ropey head in the mornings and more money in my pocket.
Was expecting to loose wieght, but I think I have been compensating for lack of wine with food 0 -

I must give this a try, it's getting a bit boring drinking water all the time. I got a fizzy white grape drink called Eva in Fresh the other night and it was yick!
I'll probably only last until the 29th also, I'm meeting a friend for beers. Probably wont drink after that until 5th Febuary, I have a wedding. I'm quite getting into this non drinking thing, I think about either beer/wine everyday but I know I can manage without it now which is such a relief. Doesn't mean I'm not counting the days down until the 29th....0 -

I'd say I'll break it now on the 29th with the Ladies Lounge beers but will see!
I'm going to check out that drink in M&S. Thank you!
Even though I broke out, I'm feeling pretty great. I've also changed my diet and drinking lots of that Robert Roberts detox tea that I posted earlier. My weight went up over Christmas and I've lost 10 lbs since starting this. That's more than enough motivation to keep it up. 0 -
