Giving it a go.
Cannot remember the last day I did not have a drink.
So probably in need of a de-tox.
Mrs B on the wagon with me too.

Sober a bad idea IMO, but cutting down very sensible. That's the way I prefer it anyway. 
Have just done the whole of September and planning to go till December without a drop.....previously only ever gone about 3 days without since age of about 16.....good luck
I've just bought 100 tins, but I only have one a day. GL to the abstainers.
I miss it.....a lot....but have lost a bit of weight ( not that I was particularly overweight ) but tbh dont really feel any different. Anyway I'll carry on and see how it goes
I'm in after today. If I crack, I will let it be known.
Aye, the calories must add up if you have a few a day. I just like the taste of new world hops, mosaic, citra etc.
Normally looking forward to my first pint about now.
Putting the kettle on instead.

I did it starting about May 2022, for a year, just to prove to the missus that I could.
Went straight back on it, but not as much, still drinking every day now
There are are some good zero beers around...the zero % Guinness is really good, about one pound a can at Tesco

March 2020 was the last time I had a beer so 6 & 1/2 years now.
I feel so much more relaxed and motivated about pretty much everything really now.
It has never bothered me at all others drinking around me especially at the races where family and friends all like sinking a good few during the day. I never think about it now, completely gone.

Has anyone ever enjoyed the taste of booze or is it all about the buzz……there are lots of alcohol drinks out there that are absolutely dreadful…
Ace, I only drink it for the taste. I don't drink enough to get a buzz. I
get four nights out of a bottle of nice red wine.

No wonder schooling conditions in these areas are poor. What teacher in their right mind would want to teach in an area where your students beat you up and burn the school down.
I only drink once a week on a Saturday as I drive for a living ...really look forward to Saturdays punting nice food and a good session...we are all a long time dead.....
Once a week also for me saddo…went from red to white or bud…..probably have one or two beers on Sunday

I felt quite refreshed this morning for a change with no thoughts of wishing I had not had a drink the night before.
Must keep going.
Some good threads above. Congrats to Slippy Blue and Eddie Batt, not just for giving up but battling through ill health as well.
Good luck at Ascot today, hoping Monarch's Gold might nick a place at a decent price.

In terms of 'taste' I think alcohol is like a lot of strong food flavours - e.g. can anyone say they loved Stilton the first time they tasted it - most likely not, just an acquired taste eventually, similar with beers and spirits.
