Who drinks and who doesn't and why?

yeah 7 days a week lol
I just find that drinking really isn't worth it anymore.
You get pissed, act like an idiot then wake up feeling like death and you realize you've missed "X" number of meals and not to mention completely destroyed all you're hard work in the gym over the past week.

quite right, lost 99.99999999% of friends due to that same reason, they can't understand that I will come to the braai and eat all the food in the house but you not going to make me drink! and no, I wont play sing song on the play station not even if i'm drunk!?!??!!

Drank heavily when I was younger. Especially in high school. Now I might have a beer every six months. Don't really like alcohol anymore. Don't really have time to go out anymore these days anyhow. Also lost alot of friends who didn't understand why I stopped drinking.

But my health is most important. I stopped partly for bodybuilding, but mostly because I plan to live forever.

You're not married yet are you?

I have a glass of red wine once a week or so. Drank too much while student. The problem now is that i subconsciously avoid any situation where drinking might be involved. My girlfriend gets pissed of because im not social. Also lost few friends when my way of life changed. Whenvever i actually do get convinced to go out for a drink i am just so thankful that i dont live that lifestyle. It really is expensive getting hammered. I prefer spending my money on nice toys/gadgets ect.

Well said, I also have that problem with being socials. I also don't like it when my fiance drinks as she is not herself. ill go to a braai an bring cooldrink an have some chow but by 10 or 11 I want to go home an sleep. Also if I go out I don't enjoy myself an reminds me of an ugly past that I'm glad is no longer... Good on yourself

Used to be heavy drinker in varsity, even by varsity standards. Got out of it because of sport and a Russian coach who liked to make you sweat blood if he even suspected you had a beer. Nowadays I enjoy a beer or two with weekend braai's. Also got two jobs and started studying again this year so time is basically non-existant to waste drinking and feeling like crap.

I use to have a few friends that I use to drink with so one day i hung out with them and I was sober and realised I dont have anything in common with them.So now I dont drink and dont have any friends :laugh:

I also stopped because i hate getting tagged on facebook with photos of me passed out in a U-shape around random public toilets.

i dont drink at all, used to, then it became a problem , so now i dont at all, odd 1-2 beers every 6 months maybe but no more. and must agree with everyone i dont socialise much i get irritated quickly now, and its just not that much fun anymore especially sober .

Well done all the non alchoholics!! I do not drinks used to be a Drunk 24/7 Now i found alot of better things to spend R300 per day on this includes me recently bying a house and seriously changin my lifestyle, I can honestly not tell you why I have ever touched Alcohol in the first place it sucks can only mention negatives absolutely no positives not even the ugly girl that becomes a butterfly that also sucks.

I LIKE BEEING SOBER!!! :silly:

when I drink, I smoke...alot....but for some time now smoking makes me feel gross so cut the drinking down by tonnes...

thats the one thing i havent kicked is smoking unfortunatley , i know i know sies

I’m like a doctor with no patience. People just get under my skin, especially when they drunk... I don't really like spending too much time with people, like my own company + my girl. I hate shopping centres and being around to many people, and people looking at me... And that’s why I hate drinking / going out... To many okes that I want to destroy by their arrogance and behaviour, especially when they start checking my chick out or dancing near her, etc... Is this the correct way to behave?

@geared up Yeah I also dont feel like socialising or to meet new people.Il rather spend my time alone in the gym staring at the ceiling between sets.

My new healthy lifestyle might not be that healthy mentally.

I'm the same. We went to Loftus one day to watch rugby (Lions was playing and won against the Bulls!) and I'm not the friendliest guy in public and one random guy commented that I should get off the juice because I'm unfriendly and I nearly killed him.

I don't go to stadiums anymore, fucking waste of money. People spilling their drinks all over me. Barbaric behavior. They don't even know who has won after the game is finished. Last time I had a broken leg. Dronk doos fell on my cast. I took my crutches and hit him, a moerse fight followed.

must have been fucking ages ago :laugh:

I still socialize but only weekends. not a drop during the week. will have a beer or 2 then just the whiskey with soda. not a real sweet tooth.

but when I get on cycle, i drop all alcohol. Not dependand of it at all. but in off time i enjoy myself. must be the personality always socializing with people.

But one thing i cant do is the club scene. hate the pricks and if you are a big guy then there is always a pratt that is gonna look for kak. then you end up blixeming him, bouncers are on you, will liberty you and you end up having a whole week of missing gym.

But nothing beats a good old braai, rugby and a ice cold beer hahaha

Its getting to the point where I if I get asked what team I support I say that I don't watch much rugby.

Well i normally have a few social beers at braai's etc, and maybe once every 3 months or so i'll go out with the boys to a club. Otherwise im normally spending time with my lady or my little girl. And of course in the last couple weeks i havent had a drop while prepping for comp. So spoilt myself on sunday after my comp and took a drive up to splashy fen with my lady, to go spend the last night of the festival there with all my mates. Had a dozen beers and a bit of southern comfort, but never got my drunk on...
Tho it was pretty weird walking around with my shirt off when 99.99% of the guys there are the skinny punk/rocker/hippy/stoner variety and i've just been in contest condition... Had at least one guy come and shake my hand, a couple people commenting that im the most ripped guy theyve ever seen, and a hell of a lot of stares. I think my girl kinda enjoyed the attention and proudly hung onto my arm

Hahaha
