By contrast, your seminal intake has likely quadrupled.

I know it's impossible keeping up with your standards....

Congratulations, P.I.

I barely drink myself, and I was quite the weekend warrior up through the 80's.

I enjoyed drinking back in the day, but I've moved on and don't miss it. I pretty much only toss back a few over the holidays now.

Posting here will get you drinking again in no time.

I swore off booze until I hit my weight loss goal in another 10 pounds. Then I'm getting a bottle of whiskey.

It has really cut down on the little action i did get though......:(

Drunk action is better than no action. You better go back to being a drunk.

Watch out, PI! It's a trap!

Congrats! I can't imagine life without alcohol myself, but I've a begrudging respect for people who manage to live without it. :D

It's more that I started blacking out than anything..and I couldn't quit until I was drunk.

Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right

Well done. I rarely drink nowadays. I once wrote down a list of the ten dumbest things I have done. All involved booze. It was a good incentive to stop getting drunk.

Besides, if you think I'm a dick now, you should meet me half-cut.

I drink considerably less. mostly due to lack of money and time to go to bars. but it does leave me time for other things.

of course, I have just had a friend die from alcohol related liver failure. gives you pause.

Sorry about your friend ,Grimm. Seeing that does give you pause before you do that to yourself.

One of my closest friends, named Jennifer, died in October 2003 of some kind of alcohol-related stroke/seizure. Her sister told me the autopsy was inconclusive. But her doctor had warned her, she knew her liver was failing, and was losing her vision as well.
I kept in touch with her by phone after we graduated college, and I couldn't see her decline when I visited her once a year or so since 1991. She'd confessed to me when she got each of her two DWI's, and the 2nd time had her driver license suspended for a year. And I wondered why she didn't renew her license after that. Her sister told me after the fact that it was because her vision was severely impaired. And yet she kept on drinking.

She was so much fun when she wasn't under the influence. Personality plus! And she was gorgeous, 5' 7" with honey blonde hair, and a face and body to die for. I wish I had photos to post here to show you.

So I feel for you, Grimm. I know what it's like to lose a friend to alcohol.
