We have wonderful memories of a family trip to Paris where we planned to surprise a brother. Four of us were sitting in a side=street cafe the evening before the planned surprise. Who walked past and saw us? Bro... we all tried to duck, but it was too late.

....and that made the occasion memorable in an unplanned way.

How do you make a French wine? Squash his croissants!

Yep, it's a fab memory for us all. 

Groan to the squashed croissants....

Ouch,off to a poor start this month. I was given a bottle of whiskey on 27th July,and have been slowly downing it over the last 8 days. 28 units of alcohol  works out at less than 4 units a day. If the alcohol is there,I drink it. But in former times I could down the whole bottle in 2 days,3 at most,so I am fairly comfortable with making it last 8 days. Got to get back on track.

So, 2/24 please cathybird.I hope to get the sunflower this month for 200 AF days so far this year. Not sure if I will manage my years target of 300 days,but will try!

Hello everyone
Still on 3/21 as I had a glass of red wine tonight. Just the one...

doingitanyway

Hello, me again...so woke with a fuzzy head even after just one glass. I looked at the alcohol content because the news is of higher alcohol being taxed higher in future. It was 14.5 so quite high?
Anyway, declaring 4/21 for me today please @cathybird

RobM99

14.5% sounds high to me. Spirits are 40%....

Anyway 6/30 thanks. An OK gig last night but over hour drive each way, home about 01:45. Cat  =^..^= was not amused.

Hello everyone. 

6/30 for me today please. Tomorrow will be 3 months alcohol free, which was my initial target. Decided to carry on and push to 6 months, which will be November then see how I feel. I haven't missed the hangovers in the slightest, and actually surprised myself how little I have missed the booze. I'd definitely recommend an extended break to anyone thinking of maybe giving it a go at some point. 

Happy Sunday to everyone!
