The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 13

System

Hey Sukeyboo - they are all Sainsbury's own brand - the 0% are usually on the bottom shelf (I wonder why??!!)

Enjoy

Good afternoon you scrumptious lot :wave:

Another one bites the dust - Shaggy please mark me down for 10/23

I was taken out for a meal last night (PoF date - yeeeeoooo)and I had a Becks Blue instead of the usual pre-dinner glass of wine. It hit the spot and meant I wasn't craving that "I need alcohol" feeling

Debjay - I have tasted the Sainsbury's white, red and sparking and here's my verdict:

White :cool: - I prefer Sorelle
Red - was pleasantly surprised and found it palatable
Sparking - yummy - my get ready to go out tipple

Hope you all are enjoying the lovely weather

Have a great evening :grouphug:

Thanks for that. I didn't know there was a Sainsburys sparkling - I've got white and rose. Have tried Sorelle white and didn't like it all - wondering if it was a bad batch as had really odd taste. Rose was a bit sweet but drinkable.

Think it's 14/21 but I'll need to look back and check that's right.

I was going to have wine tonight but don't feel like it and am drinking diet coke instead :T

1 more for me please, Shaggy

Checking in very late to say 14/21 AFDs, and I'm glad to be home but I wish I could get to sleep.

Good morning...happy Friday :j

Shaggy another AFD please = 11/23

Was out again last night but had a Becks Blue to chill out whilst getting ready, and never felt the need to get an alcoholic drink in the pub just drank tap water with ice and lemon

Debjay - Sorrelle is definitely not to everyone's taste, so maybe not a bad batch at all my friends think Im bonkers but it works for me - I was always the 'heavy' drinker of our group and now I'm the one that drinks the least alcohol :rotfl:

Have a great weekend everyone :grouphug:

Calling in early with 15/21 AFDs as I don't want the after effects of alcohol to mar my parkrun tomorrow. To think I used to regularly run hung over, but that was when I was 10 years younger :-(

System

Hey Satchmo - Im the same...I did 5 miles last night (including 2 loops of horribly high hills) and made it without stopping - this was due to abstaining from alcohol from last Friday night I have a 13 mile training run in the morning and couldn't contemplate it with drink now, yet my 2nd competitive half mara I did after partying until 3am

Good luck at Parkrun and enjoy hangover free :j

I'm going to try the Sainsbury's rose tonight so will let you know what it's like. Tonight won't be AF though - I do have a drink on Friday and Saturday as they aren't school nights tho drink loads less when I do drink.

I take it that everyone is drinking on this fine weekend?! lol

No posts from anyone since Friday early evening!
