Sober Club

Okay folks - I've quit drinking.

Everyone should join me at least for a while just to see what it's like to be sober.

Reasons why YOU should quit drinking:-

1. It costs so much money, for something that lasts for so short a time and your body quite rightly, shits it all out.

2. You're most likely an arsehole when you are drunk - either no-ones told you or your friends are as drunk, but even the loveliest most fluffy pink of the proprieties turns nasty after one too-many shandys.

3. You're memory is fucked.

4. You're younger than you look.

5. Say goodbye to hangovers and Immodium plus, baby!

The first rule of Sober Club is: You do not talk about Sober Club.

You’re out, matey. Back on the booze for you.

I've never been nasty or violent when drunk, ever. Doesn't mean I haven't been an arsehole though.

Here's a thought though - can you remember exactly EVERYTHING you've said and done while drunk, and do you think people would always tell you if you had been nasty to them? See - another crap thing about being drunk, inhibitions get a little lost and people end up being unreasonable and can also raise their volume without knowing, and get fixed on a point and argue it until they 'win'.

A choice wise beyond your years comrade.

Kerching!

Fuck right off.

I just gave up amphetamines for goodness sake, have mercy.

Elmo · 8th August 2006, 2:18pm

i havent made a conscious decision to be teetotal but i have been the last wee while since not having the time/cash/inclination to go out. I'd still have a pint tho if i could be arsed...

No.

Is there only the two choices: drink till you can't remember what you did or swear off completely?

Addy · 8th August 2006, 7:11pm

Funny, I can always remember just about as much drunk as sober. And I'm also never an arsehole, I'm a happy cant stop dancing drunk. So irritating, yes. Arsehole, no.

I've gone through several phases of considering this, but ultimately I like the stuff and I like not being so tightly wound.

So not a chance in hell for this one. I also agree with poprock and Andrew TheCastrator.

Drink Responsibly

then you dont have to worry

GoddamnElectric · 8th August 2006, 9:51pm

I did a 6 month spell without drinking at all, which was due to medication mostly. After about 3-4 weeks you sort of stop even wanting a pint and start to realise what utter fannies most people are while drunk. Then at about week 6-7 you start to feel like a fanny yourself for being so high and mighty. Around week 8 or 9 other people will start to comment on what a fanny you are for being so high and mighty. After that it's plain sailing really. Frankly I'm not sure it was worth the bother, the money I saved from booze was promptly spent on video games and gadgets.
