but i'm trying to stay off it for a few days. i've managed 3 days so far but the temptation is really strong now. i have 3 cold beers just sitting in the fridge, looking at me square in the face every time i go for a sip of water. what is a man to do really? the weather is lovely and ive got my music on. im keeping myself busy on other projects to try and take my mind off the booze but its hard. life is rather dull without a drink, its the truth isnt it? any advice on what to do? i dont really want to drink them as im trying to lose a bit of weight in the process but i know sooner or later them bottles will be drunk.

Come on go ahead, what's a few beers? Don't cheat yourself.

just wine and whiskey then? ????

If you really, really need/want to be off the booze, go to the fridge take out a can and then pour it down the sink.  Repeat x2.

 

Otherwise drink it...

Roll yourself a fat one, Bob!

how many people actually get cirrosis of the liver and die from booze? i was surrounded by hard drinkers as a kid and not a single one of them died from liver failure. in fact most of them are still alive now, well into their 80s and still drinking.

I will be fitter at 50 than 35. Another 3 months i will be super fit. 

 

Easy to lose weight. Just reprogram your sc mind.

My Brother did at age 47
one thing to note, there is a huge difference in people who drink or get drunk regular/daily and actual hard drinkers

that said, if you are taking a break to lose weight.......
it is the sugar not the alcohol
ditch the beers and switch to whatever spirit and soda/water/ice/straight

that is a step in the right direction
 

If you can make do with 3 beers, then you should be able to make do with 0.

3 beers wouldn't even wet my throat.

Beerlao tonight for me.

Beer makes you hungry, eat more.

 

You shouldnt drink more than 10 beers a week imo and at least 2 days off.

the beers is open and in my glass. sobriety can kiss my a** ????

Give the beers in the fridge away. 

Don't keep beer at home.

Just cracked my first of the day, nice & cold, thanks mrs GT.

Being 100% diet perfect isnt easy. I drank the coke after exercise. Floyd Mayweather has a coke after training.

I suggest trying kratom instead. AFAIK legal in Thailand.

 

If the OP is trying to lose weight, spirits are the way to go, as another poster has said. Beer simply has too many carbs for weight loss to be effectual.

 

I drink Sangsom and diet Coke.

No carbs in whisky, is rum the same? Whisky and soda.

Coca-Cola is good for cleaning stuff too, coins, jewelry and toilet bowls.
