Oh dear must stop drinking then.
I assume all posters are reassessing their attitude to the Devil's Buttermilk after some feckin' crackpot representing the Government issued new advice.
My concerns are as follows:
1) I can only drink the same amount as a 7 stone woman
2) If I have more than 14 units a week (I often don't ) then the risk of dying from alkie related death becomes 2.4 times greater than dying in a road accident
3) Are these people serious FFS, this is the sort of nonsense is exactly the way to make people completely ignore the recommended advice, rather than being simply cynical.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Re: Oh dear must stop drinking then.
The day, I've consumed a pint of lager half a bottle of white wine, and a couple of bottles of strong beer. Units so far - about 11.
Wtf am I going to do for the rest of the week
Is anybody going to pay the slightest bit of notice to this nonsense?
I thought not.

Re: Oh dear must stop drinking then.
Nope, they specifically say no hoarding of units and better to drink little 3-4 times a week than one blattering session.Russ wrote:Dry January. This should get me some credit right?
Tomorrow I am meeting one of my oldest friends in Belfast, he's back from 15-20 years in that hole London, hence we have only met about 3 times in that period, having been best mates for 25 years, so unquestionably we will be rubbered, 14 units will be totally inadequate.
I have no fecks to give about thir advice.

Re: Oh dear must stop drinking then.
Have a late start and drink 14 units before midnight. Sunday is the start of a new week and so you can then safely drink another 14.BaggyTrousers wrote:Nope, they specifically say no hoarding of units and better to drink little 3-4 times a week than one blattering session.Russ wrote:Dry January.

But here 's to his Health as some say
The fact is we are all going to die some time how when where
Nobody knows and no health freak PC spokesperson can change that fact .

Re: Oh dear must stop drinking then.
Are you going for the full month OAK? An admirable pursuit. I normally dry out fora week or two post new year but then ultimately feel refreshed, rejuvenated and increasingly bored so start indulging once again.

Problem with dry Jan is the trip to Sorries in the middle. Undecided as yet

For us devotees of the Old Testament, the week starts on Sunday. That's why the Jews take Saturday off.

Re: Oh dear must stop drinking then.
The secret my friend is that I am a very modest drinker in the first place. I'm not constantly topping up therefore a dry month whilst not a scary thought is not a consideration for me.Once a Knight wrote:I must admit to feeling better for being on Dryathalon.
I am aware of Baggy's best mate and his plan to take him on the "29th revisited". It makes me shudder. Baggy, you're a better man than I Gunga Din.
I can just about manage that once a year.
I very much meet the recommendations for having several dry days a week, I occasionally would have a dry couple of weeks for no other reason than I can't be bothered.
Take my advice children, a sober home is a happy home, though I an personally seldom happy but carry happiness where er I go. It's a burden I carry.
