How much booze will you be having this Christmas/New Year?

[tyred]

None whatsoever. After stopping drinking for many years, then slowly slipping back into drinking socially over the summer, I decided I don't actually enjoy alcohol and it is a waste of money so I have given it up again.

None at all. I chose to give up booze in 2012, or rather my body decided to give it up for me!

It wasn't that I drank ridiculous amounts in one day - 5 pints had been my limit for about 20 years. The problem was that I drank 5 pints almost every day for about 20 years ...

I would quite like to have the occasional alcoholic drink but I always seem to end up back on 5-a-day, and that wouldn't be sensible.

So ... enjoy your booze you lot - I'll stick to chilled sparkling mineral water with OJ!

One of the reasons I drink less is my recovery. I my heyday I didn't get hangovers, I wouldn't feel any worse had I drank or not.
Now it takes three days to recover properly.
The other issue is I usually drink too much, 10-15 pints if I'm having a good drink

I have a bottle of Zubrowka and 5 litres of apple juice. It should easily last until March.

I have a nice bottle of Russian bubblebath in the cupboard.

I will be drinking 4 pints of Stella everynight over Christmas New Year (I actually started last night)

I'm self employed and work for several clients, so I've received loads of bottles of wine (some really good ones), 2 bottles of Whisky (a Bells and a Chivas Regal), 2 bottles of Port and one bottle of Gin

I'm a beer drinker, but enjoy a good whisky and also enjoy Port....and wine and ..... and ....

I will have to try and control myself as I'm hoping to complete the Rapha challenge on Strava over Christmas/New Year and have some long rides planned

I love a wee drink on Christmas Eve - we always have an early dinner with friends on Christmas Eve with a good few wines thrown in.

Christmas Day my dad and I get through a 2-3 good bottles of red.

Tend to stay off till Hogmanay then a I'll have a good late night and still be up for club hangover ride on New Year's Day. Can't beat a 40-50 miler in the cold and wet to clear your head!!

It may be fizzy too.

 

[grumpyoldwoman]

Very little. Maybe a glass of wine come christmas day evening or a tia maria and coke.IF i do,that will be it. Rather be out on my bike or walking the hills/Brean Down/Uphill

 

[Hill Wimp]

There is enough alcohol in this house to sink the Titanic. I have a chef to keep happy and guests to entertain so I need to remain sort of soberish......

Nothing! Gave up drinking Two and a half years ago. Feel better for it and don't miss the hangovers!
