Not as much as I'd have liked to but a fair old drop nonetheless (bit skint this year)

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!

Loads.
We have hired a house for a week to fit in all the extended family. My mother has been fussing about the catering arrangements since about August. It's the only way to stop her driving me round the bend!

None. Don't like the taste or the effect. I seem to be very intolerant of alcohol and could have a headache starting before I even finished one so just gave up completely.

Very little. A glass of wine or two, and some brandy.

None. I stopped drinking alcohol nearly 6 years ago as part of weight loss and haven't missed it.

Probably too much.
But my natural tendency to overindulgence will he tempered somewhat with the need to be fit to drive on some of the days.

Already had one bender, on Saturday with a few mates, and drank far too much (about 10 pints). I normally have a drink 3 or 4 nights a week, having 2 or 3 pints, but more at the weekend, but as it is Christmas I will probably drink every night until the first week in January. I did dry January this year but I'm not doing it again, I will limit myself to a couple of nights a week throughout the year instead.....famous last words...

Already done most of it. 4 days on the trot a few weeks ago, only one really heavy night though.
A consistent dose until the new year and then I'm planning to be virtually tee total. Not sure if it will be January or the whole year, yet.
