Poll - Drink booze?

[L3]

I quit drinking coming up on three months now. All my buddies find it "super gay" of me but hey, to each his own.

Whenver i go to the bar i ususally buy drinks for my friends and then get a glass of water for myself, so its not like im not spending any money.

I quit drinking for a few reasons:

1 - Alcohol is catabolic
2 - Alcohol ****s with your estradiol/cortisol
3 - Alcohol dehydrates you
4 - Alcohol is hard on the liver
5 - Beer or Hard Liquor/Pop make you fattttttttttttt


So cbb'ers, do you drink?

Age made me quit. Doesn't feel the same. Especially the next day. But I drink maybe 1-5 times a year. Mostly on special occasions.

[Mr Ontario]

I drink Red wine when I think of it...thats it.

[shithead]

Every weekend I drink vodka. Yes. Just one day though. I used to drink everyday when I was younger.

Nothing wrong with moderation.

Depends on the definition of "drink" I DRINK maybe 3-4 times a year, but I have a beer, glass of wine or mixed drink every now or then...only one or two, just to be social or with dinner.

Use to but stopped when I started my weight-loss journey. Got drunk on pure whiskey Christmas day '07 and felt horrible later on, never again. Blah = alcohol

Very occasionally will I have a beer ... like twice a year. In fact, the last time I had a beer was before Christmas, at my brothers place. My brother asked me if I wanted a beer, and I said "sure". The entire family stopped and did a double take. They couldn't believe I was actually having something to drink.

LOL! What brand beer?

[spankmonkey]

Drank enough from high school through college and sobered up looked around and wondered what the fack had just happened, have'nt needed it since. although I substituded sex for the booze..., good trade off!:sex

[Houstonbc]

there needs to be something in between only on my birthday/new years and every weekend with my boys i'd fall into that category. with the boys maybe once a month for me.

[Gettin'r'round]

When i'm dieting, which seems like all the time, no booze. Otherwise it's fine red wine with dinner only. Oh and vacation is a more boozy time (watered down booze at that).

Yep, I'd fall into that category as well. I don't drink to get drunk any more, and I don't drink often... but I do enjoy a little wine with the wife or beer with the boys from time to time. Once a month is about right.

[MizzFitt]

I use to drink A LOT when I was younger, but now maybe 3 times a year. I really don't like it to be honest, plus I seem to be dieting all the time so I never get a chance.

That seems to be the majority case here. "Use to drink alot when younger but want a Zeus-like body now, so no more or occassional." :D

[spiderman7]

I only drink now maybe once or twice a week with the wife. A bottle of wine with a spliff to please the wife.

[champcar99]

It's only when I entertain the ladies do I have drinks...I prefer not to drink that much, now it hits me really hard the next day and it really ****s with my sleep when on booze...

[shithead]

Sleep, motivation and training.

It raises estrogen, has an effect on insulin and dehydrates you. Great stuff.

I still enjoy it though.

I quit drinking when I started lifting seriously. I don't miss it either. Now when I go out I get my kicks watching other people act like morons after they've been drinking which makes me realize how stupid it was getting loaded in the first place.

[Baconbits]

I Have maybe 3 beers a month, but when I go on an all inclusive vacation for a week, well, that's a different story.....Oh well, it's only one week a year.

I got first hand experience there. I live near Queens University here in Kingston, Ontario and the building I'm in is full of students. Well, safe to say that come Friday night, all hell breaks loose. I had my neighbour from downstairs come to my door and try to use her key in my door. I kept quiet and died laughing as she continuously tried to unlock the keypad. You can hear her cursing, screaming out loud "why isn't this F#$%$$$%#Q@ working!!!". LOL!

[pseclint]

I never used to drink, but i recently broke up with my GF of 4.5 years so now the only way I know how to pick up any scrunt at all involves heavily medicating myself with liquor
