I didn’t intend to stop drinking but the last year I’ve just sort of stopped! I hate the hangovers but I do miss that feeling of having a glass! If you don’t drink anymore how do you get that chilled feeling of a weekend?

I like alcohol free lager. But haven’t had that neither.

i drink lots of water (more than ever!) netflix, walk.

i never used it to relax.

I haven't stopped drinking altogether but drink very little, rarely more than a few glasses at the weekend. For a long time I used to have to drink to unwind but the older I get the worse it makes me feel. I may sound like a twat but I now get a buzz out of not drinking and the feeling of a clear head, a calm soul and the motivation to get things done is usually far better than plodding through the day with a mild hangover.
