  • Had a nice AF weekend. 14/27 including today please cathybird. Only drank on two days so far this month. Haven’t really enjoyed either occasion. I think I may be losing my taste for it.

    For the first time I’m starting to think a bit more seriously about giving up altogether.

    “My jaded palate is no longer tickled by anything so lacking in flavour.”
    @Season_of_Mist - I know what you mean, I hadn’t a drink so far in January until I went out on Saturday, I only had a couple of glasses of Prosecco, but had such a stinking headache yesterday I wondered why I bothered! 🤷‍♀️ Need to stick to my guns next time and not get swayed.

    Menorca, June last year. My first drink for 10 months, after just one small lager I felt somewhat woosy!
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!
