I haven't had a drink now since 10 pm last night.

[Sir C]

Not going to get one until 6 pm on Thursday.

This is fúcking torture. :-(

Are you dieting, C?

[Sir C]

Are you dieting, C?

No, r. But since oevr the last 5 years I've got fit and given up drugs and fags, I thought I might as well go the whole hog and have two days per week off the grog, to allow liver repair.

I'm going to live forever.

[Ash]

Are you dieting, C?

It did remind me of his posts from many, many years ago now when he first lost weight, and said that he was looking at a lettuce leaf which was all he would get to eat until din-dins.

So no alcohol in 16 hrs... while asleep for about 8 of them, and you are feeling terrible. I guess you were on the edge of being an alki

[Pokster]

I'm going to live forever.

Are you going to learn how to fly... high

Actually, you have already done that

[Ash]

I'm going to live forever.

Are you quite sure you want to do that?

Which part of complete economic collapse, starvation, nuclear war and totalitarian/theocratic dystopia are you most looking forward to? I must admit, I'm not terribly optimistic, you see.

[Sir C]

Thanks for the diagnosis, man. That's really caring of you.

I'm not too bothered by all that, a. I'll be off living in the back of beyond when all that happens.

[Burney]

No, r. But since oevr the last 5 years I've got fit and given up drugs and fags, I thought I might as well go the whole hog and have two days per week off the grog, to allow liver repair.

I nipped out for a quick pint lunchtime.

I'm going to die at the bottom of a stairwell in a welter of blood and puke. :thumbup:

[Burney]

Thanks for the diagnosis, man. That's really caring of you.

He's also probably wildly overestimating how much sleep you got without a decent drink inside you.

Just the one? Very restrained. wd b!

No, no, I had a few snifters last night. It's Tuesdays and Wednesdays which are now dry. :-(

I'm not going to manage this, am I?

[Pokster]

Thanks for the diagnosis, man. That's really caring of you.

I have experience with this with my old man... i predict you won't live forever and Moses will out live you....comfortably

I'm just trying to work out where you got this reputation for being a mean-spirited miserable chip-písser, p.

It depends what you’re trying to ‘manage’, I supppse.

If you mean: will I manage not to drink until tomorrow night?’, then yes, you will.

If you mean’Will doing this fundamentally change my relationship with alcohol?’, then no, it won’t.

THURSDAY NIGHT! NOT TOMORROW NIGHT! THURSDAY! CHRIST!

Sorry. Bit twitchy.

[Burney]

THURSDAY NIGHT! NOT TOMORROW NIGHT! THURSDAY! CHRIST!

Sorry. Bit twitchy.

Oh, right. You probably ought to have tried starting off small and building up. Y’know, 24 hours one week, then 48, then 72. Just going straight into the 72 hours seems rash. Dunno what you were thinking of.

[SWv2]

No, r. But since oevr the last 5 years I've got fit and given up drugs and fags, I thought I might as well go the whole hog and have two days per week off the grog, to allow liver repair.

I hate to be the one that delivers bad news but such abstinence as referred to above will do less than **** all to actually repair your liver.

If your car has bald tyres and one doesn't drive them then the thread does not re-appear, the tyres are fúcked. Further driving may render them even worse but less does not correct them.

If your liver is in a state of ill repair after 30-40 years of alcohol abuse then 1-2 nights a week is like a raindrop falling into the ocean.

Thank you Doctor fúcking Kildare.

Look to your own liver, and I shall look to mine. I can assure you that by this time on Thursday I will have the gizzards of a 12 year old virgin.

Perhaps he's thinking of hounds. Depending on the cause of the damage, their livers can, and do, re-generate themselves.

Fúck off and steal a bicycle you ungrateful stroke boy Dutch ponce.

I withdraw my sound advice.

Good day.

As Lady Thatcher told us, 'you know when you've one the argument when the Paddy reverts to personal abuse'.

I see no personal abuse, merely a succinct summation of facts we have gathered and agreed on.

The human liver does regenerate and repair itself, though. Cirrhosis is essentially the point at which it ceases to do so

:nod:

This regeneration however takes time, and taking two nights off in the middle of the week, would not suffice.

One has to more or less give up drinking and where pray tell is the fun in that?

[PSRB]

Not going to get one until 6 pm on Thursday.

This is fúcking torture. :-(

I've not had a cigarette since roughly the same time

It's ****ing torture and will be for another 48 hours or so :-(

Warfarin’s your best friend here SC. Controls your drinking habit no end. Just have to remember not to bump into stuff ☹️

Well then, did you make it through the night? How was it?

[Pokster]

FFS, it is 24 hours without a drink, he's not camping in -30 degrees with no supplies... MTFU

[Sir C]

Well then, did you make it through the night? How was it?

After the initial confusion of not having something to sip on whilst cooking dinner, it was remarkably straightforward.

I'm considering extending the drought until Friday.

I find that the second you walk through the door and you're still feeling rather stressed from the working day & cooking are the main issues.

Also, I find that it's good to have something else to drink instead while sitting down after eating - be it a coffee or a soft drink.

I sipped water all evening. Perhaps I will give up the drink entirely.

I haven't had a drink since Saturday - well early Sunday morning. I just feel tired as I've had too much sleep

I've started going 5/6 days without a drink, my doctor would like to think it's her advice regarding my gout and high blood pressure but really it's financial :-(

Maybe you can be my sponsor? :thumbup:

Six days?! You realise that there are only seven in a week, don't you? Perhaps you can reduce the quantity & increase the frequency?

[barrybueno]

I'm a 'Small Faces' drinker Rich... All Or Nothing. 3 or 4 pints here and there during the week would just piss me off tbh...

oops, old skool Williams :homer:
