Have you projectile vomited, got arrested, got hospitalised, impregnated someone or had a punch up through drunken f*ckedness yet?

You must have misread my question, I didn't mention anything about posting a link to prove you can't understand basic English.

alwaysadub

Fair few months. 7 or so maybe. Just couldn't afford to go out more than anything, and could'nt be arsed sitting in drinking.

minidazzler

About a month since I started drinking regularily that is, not from my first drink.

I get VERY irritable when I am off drink for too long. Bored, complacent and annoyed at the slightest thing!

Littlegirllost

i dont drink much so can go months between drinks!

magick

less than 12 hours

Over two years now, give me a nice cup of herbal tea instead.

Welcome to After Hours, please leave your sense of humour at the door before entering.

Also, can you back up the statement that somebody was banned for a better thread than this? Note: No matter what thread you pull up I'll say it's worse than this thread. Aren't opinion-based statements just great? :rolleyes:

Haven't had a drink now for nearly 3 years, just taking a break from it, do intend starting again, its made easier by the fact that I can't get a drink over here that I like, I'm a bitter drinker although I do like red wine also.

up for anything

A couple of glasses of Baileys twice a year. That's about it. Don't miss it and I'm glad I never really got a taste for it because when I'm feeling down and times are hard (all the time lately) I think it would be nice to drown my sorrows in a glass of something but then I remember the three day hangover that follows a glass or a bottle and decide against it.

Dravokivich

A few days before going 20 I fúcked myself up big time on a session, wasnt able to eat much for 3 days afterwards. didn't drink again until about a week after I went 21.

That's horrible Drav, I hope you're well on the road to recovery.:D

sam34

i could easily go a few months without drinking alcohol

i tend to drive a lot when going out as i live a bit far out to be getting taxis and plus it means i avoid drunken antics and horrible hangovers!

AckwelFoley

I went just short of 2 years.

I was 24 and needed to do a little copping on and life direction and needed to save some money to acomplish some goals.

Gave it up and since then i just drink when i want to, which generally is about twice or 3 times a month

I quit for about 6 months on my 18th birthday. My mode of transport to and from the local pub at that time was one of the farm tractors, I put it on its roof that night. Happy birthday to me...
That was 20 years ago have managed not to go very long without since.

The longest I have gone without an alcoholic drink is about 3 months, often be a month or a month and a half. The longest I have gone without going out drinking booze is about 6 months though.
