    30 days is enough. You owe it to yourself.

    Lots of people give up for November. It's almost a tradition
    Would you wait until December 1st?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    It's my birthday.

    There's a reason.

    Go for it.

    ill be having a pint tonight, if you're buying


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    As long as you don't buy it in a pub. Boycott pubs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭Smart Bug


    Why a pint? Ask the barman for exactly 567ml of beer.

    Why have a pint when you can have one of these?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭samhail


    go for the pint !
    then stay off the drink for 2 months ! then in 2 months u can have 2 pints !.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 233 ✭✭cmcsoft


    It's not that hard to stay off of it!! Is it.......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    No, keep your money in your pocket inside of up against the alley wall. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Prof.Badass


    if it's only one pint then no. what's the point poisining yourself / ruining what you've got going if you barely get to feel the effects?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Have one on me.
    Tries to PM banknotes but they won't stick to screen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,132 ✭✭✭silvine


    I wanted to give up the drink for November but I stopped drinking a week early (26 October). So now it's Nov 26 and I am off the booze 30 days.

    Does 30 days count as a month? Either way I will be pinting on Friday.

    EDIT: By pint I mean several.

    I'll be in Campions tonight, hell why not join me (unless you have a Cark accent, we kill those in Campions).

    Yes, go for a pint and enjoy it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭EL_Loco


    heya, was it in an effort to cut back or more to prove to yourself you could so for the next 11 months you can binge away? Are you aiming to lower your overall intake or when you go back on it you'll be drinking as much as you used to despite it making you ill because your tolerance has dropped?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,132 ✭✭✭silvine


    All of the above :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 726 ✭✭✭abi2007


    Hey if were all going out...count me in!

    :-p

    If you're a heavy drinker it could be a good point to form some good habits as regards not over doing it, seeing as you've managed to stay off it completely for the last month.

    So, I'd say yeah, have yourself a drink or 3, but try and stop when you know you're drunk, rather than automatically shovelling more into yourself. yeah, back I go to my perfect world :-p

    Good luck either way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭Zangetsu


    Depends on why you gave up...

    Problem = Have a few drinks but don't go back into old habits.

    Just to see if you could = Fair balls to ya /sends bottle of vodka in the post*




    *may not be real vodka*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    If you want one then have it, if you don't, then don't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,220 ✭✭✭✭Loopy


    Do it - you could be run over by a bus tommorow......

    Do what you want, it's simple as. Sometimes i wonder if some people can't make a choice without asking Boards what to do first. I suppose someone's gonna make a thread asking us if they should eat their dinner next or go to bed.

    Actually I could do with a pint myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Of course you should have a pint this evening. It's Tina Turners 69th birthday.
    Tina Turner, 69 and drink is the stuff dreams are made of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Ross_Mahon


    Do not listen to their poisonous words...Have a drink and think it over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    I think if you have to ask, then you dont want a drink.

    Rubbish logic. Pighead would hate to be asking you for the time.

    did you notice that bank notes are just under 3.5in wide.

    Well?

    According to some joke email I got recently if you had been drinking tinnies heavily for the past 30 days and recycled the empties you'd be in a lot better financial shape so my advice is to give me the name of a better spam filter for my email.

    And get yourself to the pub man, you are a mess, clean shaven, coherent... for shame.

    $4.50 in my local.
    The only reason I went to the pub on Sunday was because my friend, who is renting my back garden from me, would only pay me if I went to the pub with him. I didn't have a choice.

    OP, do you really need to ask?
    Get the fúck out of here and go get drunk.

    /first sip. Aaaah.

    Heh. There's an ad on at the moment about not drinking too much. Ads are stupid.

    Have a game of Darts as well while you're there, if your local has a dart board.

    Had a pint. Or three to be exact. Nearly missed last bus home and feel the worse for it today. I blame everyone here.
