Good evening, owls, a question for you? Is it really, really, really bad that I've just finished off half a bottle of wine and I am desperate for a beer or something else? Almost makes me miss the last guy in my life who used to come over with a crate at 2 in the morning, until I remember what a player he was.

GunJack

In a word...yes..

sorry ruby, but drinking a lot ain't big or clever.....

when I was younger, I drank loads until I went off it, then stopped altogether very soon after. It's amazing how much better you feel when you don't drink any more. That was 22 years ago and I honestly don't miss it one bit

Blackruby

Hey Jack, I used to drink a hell of a lot in first and second year of uni. I'm talking amounts I can't even stomach to think about (10 double vodkas in a night) and it wasn't big or clever. Now I consider myself to have over done it if I have 5 or 6 beers, or in the case of wine, more than 1 bottle. I used to have a problem with alcohol, I just used it for the wrong reasons. I sometimes still get pangs to use it as a crutch (like now I am feeling a little lonely) I would like to think I have a good handle on it for the most part.

GunJack

10 double vodkas - lightweight just before I went off it that would've been the warm-up..no kidding.

seriously, it's good that you're over the problem and are down to what you drink now. It really never helps/solves anything, no matter how low you feel...it's a depressant after all.

Anyhoo...you've got the wonderful peeps on here now to moan to/sound off at/whinge/cry/laugh....much better therapy than booze, and it saves ya money to boot

Blackruby

Yep, that is true. Well done for stopping yourself, though! You have a good sleep, I'll probably be up a while longer, drank way too much coffee again today.

if there's ONE thing you can't drink too much of, it's coffee

I'nm just waiting for the washing machine to finish so I can get the load in the dryer before I hit the sack...

Blackruby

I'm still up, hope your washing's finished. My also insomniac housemate gave me a couple of links to some funny sites to keep me amused till I crash out.
