I've probably said it before - try to develop new interests and find new friends.

One way to cut down is to drink slowly and just have a couple instead of four or more. Not easy when you're with a group of mates who are necking pint after pint in 10 minutes.

Did you know that 25% of road accidents are caused by drunk drivers?

Therefore 75% are caused by sober drivers.

A Rabbi and a Priest are driving one day and, by a freak accident, have a head-on collision with tremendous force.
Both cars are totally demolished, but amazingly, neither of the clerics has a scratch on him.
After they crawl out of their cars, the rabbi sees the priest's collar and says, "So you're a priest. I'm a rabbi.
Just look at our cars.
There is nothing left, yet we are here, unhurt.
This must be a sign from God!"
Pointing to the sky, he continues, "God must have meant that we should meet and share our lives in peace and friendship for the rest of our days on earth."
The priest replies, "I agree with you completely.
This must surely be a sign from God!"
The rabbi is looking at his car and exclaims, "And look at this!
Here's another miracle!
My car is completely demolished, but this bottle of Mogen David wine did not break.
Surely, God wants us to drink this wine and to celebrate our good fortune."
The priest nods in agreement.
The rabbi hands the bottle to the priest, who drinks half the bottle and hands the bottle back to the rabbi.
The rabbi takes the bottle and immediately puts the cap on, then hands it back to the priest.
The priest, baffled, asks, "Aren't you having any, Rabbi?"
The rabbi replies, "Nah... I think I'll wait for the police."

Funnily enough I have very little sympathy with people trying to cut down on anything.  I don't believe any amount of well meaning advice on here will make the slightest difference.  People know what to do or not do. 

I drink every day and have every intention of continuing that way.  I'm drinking  a nice chilled bottled of Wheat beer at the moment only £1.25 from Lidl, one of the pleasures of life.

he cant remember delta.

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 bottles of what a week?

Anyway even if you can "sleep" better boozed up the quality of sleep isn't so good.

I notice a huge difference the next day if I've had an alcohol free night or even just a few drinks.

I can see it in my skin if I've not drunk for a while as well, it's ... well it's radiant! 

Didn't have a drink last night and slept like a log.

Feel great this morning.

Now.....where's that whisky?

Didn't have a drink last night and slept like a log.

Woke up in the fireplace.

circa 1922

I daredn't tell you how long it since I last didn't have a drink on the day. Certainly last century.

well my liver's ok rommel. It's a miracle.

Seems to affect people in different ways. I drink a fair whack daily and always have a consistent eight or nine hours of good sleep.

Everyone is different in how they drink.  I'd love to get pissed but I have world class hangovers and the pleasure isn't worth the pain so I stick to small amounts on a regular basis.
