Because judging from a quick stroll through town, it appears that, in still being boringly sober, I appear to be in a minority of one! It's like Dawn of the Dead out there, with large groups of bodies staggering haphazardly from pub to pub, babbling and cackling incoherently. You've got to admire the commitment to the cause of the British. Valiantly adhering to the principle that if you don't have to be up in the morning you should be getting absolutely mullered!!!

Anyone else? Or is it just me?

I was in Bournemouth on St Patricks day. Never realised 75% of the local population were Irish. Lots of drunken people with amusing green hats bouncing off street furniture from about 8pm. And they were going to work in the morning. I was impressed in a 'is this what the start of the Zombie Apocalypse' might look like 🙂

I am having my first beer. Which is fully deserved as I;ve spent the afternoon trying to fix the leak in our stupidly massive pond. Water is quite cold in March...

Stone ****ing sober here. Haven't had a drink since Tuesday due to tooth extraction and resulting horrible painful hole in head. No riding either. Can't even drink coffee unless it's lukewarm. Ugh. 🙁

Saw emergency dentist this morning, he stabbed my head a few times and basically told me to stop being such a bloody princess, I'm doing my best but I'm seriously bored of this now. And I've got to fight my way through several hours of bank holiday traffic tomorrow to spend the rest of the day with the in-laws without so much as a sniff of booze to dull the joys of their scintillating company.

Bloody hell Tom you almost make me grateful for my fankled knee! At least I can complain that I'm not up to driving over to the outlaws on the Wirral 😀

And in response to binners' original question, I'm about 65% there....

Tee total here, i certainly don't miss that fuzzy feeling and over the last 8 months have saved a bloody fortune, happy days. 😀
I even have bottles of booze in the house gathering dust. 😯

I've saved money by drinking more.

This time next year....

Doesn't mix well with antidepressants. Been pretty much teetotal since mid-January.

Which is ****ing depressing!

Well done - I remember doing similar in wetsuit & dinghy boots but at least on a day with ambient temp in the teens.
Surprised you didn't want a hot toddy.

Our lass away, rare chance for a slap up Sunday Roast at my friendly local (she doesn't do Sunday Roast) and some / many ciders! Did an epic singlespeed ride on Friday so feel no guilt about eating and drinking. Here's to Dunkertons Black Fox... Hick x

Or have people grown up in the past 10 years?

Not pissed, but [i]ridiculously[/i] stuffed. Honestly don't think I can ever look at another roast potato again.

Been drinking solidly all day whilst cooking and eating, colossal error, stopped drinking. Now an almighty headache has kicked in. My own fault, I know the rules, if you start early, always keep going.

Still sober from Dry January. Can't say I miss it at all, life is a lot simpler and I'm feeling loads better.

Thought about it. But thought I'd need to operate potentially dangerous appliances with shaky hands. Considered pouring beer into a saucepan and just dunking my head in 😉

Been garden-building from 10am until 8pm. Having a beer now though, a bloody well-deserved one at that - soil's heavy.

(as is manoeuvring a 420 x 70 x 64 cm raised bed made of 32mm decking)

Happy Easter 🙂

Had a glass of wine with roast turkey at me mum n dad's, came home, couldn't work out what the time was and whether it was worth opening a beer before bedtime, so I didn't, and now I think I'm going to bed.

hmph... got to the pub for a funky shindig

Saw someone that I owe a few quid to... Now I know very well that he's being very kind about it, but I don't feel that I know the fella well enough to be cheerfully drinking pints in front of him when I owe him cash

gone home tail between legs.. too awkward for me 🙁

Not in the slightest. Can't remember the last time I was even remotely pissed.
Yes I like beer. But I like to taste the last one as well as the first, so I don't generally have that many

When you may get called on at any moment to go elbow deep in an Ovine birth canal you tend to lay off the pop. I remember going back to my mates from the pub place via the lambing sheds where he worked and finding a ewe in distress. Bear in mind we were both extremely pished up. Mate has a rummage around. Can't seem to work out the mess inside so suggests I have a go. Well there were many legs, a couple of heads but no possible sensible way to get any of the lambs out. Nothing seemed to make sense to our pickled brains. So long story short we had to get a bit physical and pull out whatever we could. It was hard fought, but eventually we pulled out a Siamese lamb conjoined along the spine. So 8 legs, 2 necks and heads, but only 1 body. Weirdest thing I have seen, made all the more strange by our drunken state.

Since then, I won't go near a lambing shed anything short of stone cold sober

Now see, that's where we differ... Quite a tale though - reminds me of that scene from All Creatures Great and Small where Herriot turns up pissed as a newt.

No experience of sheep but my wife's family are all dairy farmers so have spent a few late nights with them delivering calf's, its not worth washing your clothes once they are drenched in bovine birth fluid just bin them.
Thankfully no birth defects just a few still born ones which their children just say "dud shell that one"
Sad day next week as one of my wife's cousins is selling pretty much his whole dairy herd as its just not financially worth carrying on 🙁

School day today but wish I had been. At in-laws that haven't spoken to me since October, they spent an hour discussing, in great detail The Voice. I was promised I could take my bike out if I was good by my sister came over to say she's pregnant, in the same month we've been told it's not ever going to happen for us.
