I'm not pregnant or ill, just don't fancy it really. Had 4 gin and tonics last night and feel a bit hungover after those still. I'm planning on drinking sparkling water and feeling fresh in the morning hopefully.

LunaLoveFood · 31/12/2021 17:48

MeSad put my back out this morning, so on painkillers.

Well done everyone who has given it up and is sticking to it Flowers

Strength to you :)

@anotherchocolate

I got my booster yesterday. Not sure you can have alcohol after? Might risk one...
It's not advisable according to google, but I got my booster on Tuesday and had a lot of alcohol on Wednesday, I'm completely fine.

I'm not drinking because I have a 4 month old bf dd, gonna wait until tomorrow when the kids r having a sleepover at nannies house.

LunaLoveFood · 31/12/2021 17:51

@anotherchocolate I specifically asked the nurse who was doing my booster if I could drink alcohol after it as I had my works Christmas do that evening. She laughed and said there was no research to suggest you shouldn't have alcohol after, she then joked that I would probably feel rough after having it so I might as well have a hang over too!

Vegetalienne · 31/12/2021 17:53

I’m not. I’m going for a run with a friend early tomorrow morning so need to feel good. 🏃‍♀️

Vegetalienne · 31/12/2021 17:55

Why has my woman runner emoji come out as a man runner with a female symbol next to it? Confused

user1497787065 · 31/12/2021 17:56

Only tea

SedentaryCat · 31/12/2021 17:56

I'm drinking, but not to the level I usually do on NYE. Would prefer not to waste tomorrow nursing a hangover.

RegretfulRufus · 31/12/2021 17:57

Nope ! I’m on third lot of antibiotics

TeeNoG · 31/12/2021 17:59

No booze for me, my only fizz will be lemonade 😁

Vapeyvapevape · 31/12/2021 18:02

Over the last couple of years I’ve drunk alcohol less and less, I can’t stand hangovers and I get one whether I have a couple or loads .
I’m having hot milk and sugar instead Grin

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 31/12/2021 18:04

No as I'm pregnant. But I don't usually bother anyway.
My DP will be in late from work tonight and up early for work in the morning so I doubt he'll even bother with one.

Might depend on how stressed out the neighbours make us if they're noisy bastards like usual 😄

FindingMeno · 31/12/2021 18:05

I'm not drinking - I don't enjoy it!

Comedycook · 31/12/2021 18:07

No...I'm pretty much tee total anyway.

Shallwegoforawalk · 31/12/2021 18:09

Likely me. DH doesn't drink (gut issues) and I can never be bothered just for me. Plus meeting friend for a dog walk tomorrow so don't want to be feeling rough.
Loads of nice food waiting in the fridge though!

Moonsick · 31/12/2021 18:10

Not me, I have a shift starting at 7am tomorrow morning and again on Sunday. I'll be asleep by 10.30pm Grin

gunnersgold · 31/12/2021 18:14

I'm not but I don't drink so 🤷‍♀️.. 3 rd New Years sober now !

ChimChimeny · 31/12/2021 18:16

I fancy one but we only have beer and I'm too full for fizzy drinks. DM lives within walking distance so just texted her to ask if she has wine (very long shot!)

SantaMonicaPier · 31/12/2021 18:17

No, after getting horribly drunk last NYE I'm starting dry January early

Bleddyansum · 31/12/2021 18:25

I am half a bottle down of LP rose, DH has had a bottle of cider, and DS (26) is 3 weeks into the Alcohol Experiment book so nothing for him.
I’ve had enough, DH is on chemo so probably won’t have any more.
We are having a takeaway, and will probably be in bed by 9!

I am starting the Alcohol Experiment book tomorrow and this is my last hurrah.

cliffdiver · 31/12/2021 18:29

I've got some Cava, but feeling ropey with COVID so not sure I'll bother.

VioletLemon · 31/12/2021 18:32

I'm not drinking tonight either. Have a hangover and really need to feel healthy. Want to wake up refreshed and more positive. Looking forward to that!

GalacticGoddess · 31/12/2021 19:31

I'm not, would love to have a gin but I know we will be up early with toddler and I'm coming down with a cold so best not to 😖

TrainspottingWelsh · 31/12/2021 19:42

I'd planned to, but a family of cunts decided to feed one of the horses today, so I'm now home alone on colic watch. Fortunately it seemed to be mild and short lived, but I can't take the risk. Once we're past the point of possibly needing to drive I might have a few.
